Game Science

Non-Pure’s aggressive style requires patience and careful timing. Here are some effective tactics:

  1. Exploit Weakness: Non-Pure is vulnerable to Heavy Smash Attacks. Use these when you see an opening.
  2. Spell Usage: Cloud Step and Immobilize are particularly useful. Immobilize locks him in place while Cloud Step helps avoid his combos.
  3. Transformation Tactics: The Red Tides Transformation works well. Inflict Burn with Guanghzi then unleash light attacks to interrupt Non-Pure.
  4. Avoid Clones: Don’t use A Pluck of Many Spell. Non-Pure’s sweeping attacks quickly eliminate clones.
  5. Watch for Glowing Gauntlet: When his left hand glows he can parry attacks. Wait for this to subside before attacking.
  6. Dodge and Counter: Learn his attack patterns. Dodge effectively and counter-attack during his recovery frames.
  7. Use Spirits Wisely: Summon spirits that complement your playstyle but be cautious as Non-Pure’s wide attacks can hit multiple targets.

Remember Non-Pure’s attacks cover both vertical and horizontal planes. Simple backpedaling won’t always work. Mix up your dodges and use your spells strategically.
