How to beat The Ten of Clubs
This boss is similar to many other heavy enemies in the game. However, he has some tricks in store for you. Watch out for hisPeine Forteattack. He slams his axe into the ground and forms ripples of earth that can hit Clive from below. attempt to avoid this attack to the best of your ability.
His standard attack is easy toprecision dodge. If you have the Berserker Ring equipped and precision dodge, you’ll get a quick flurry for flame attacks that are usually available during your Limit Break. It will reduce his stamina level quickly. Another useful way to reduce his stamina quickly is Aerial Blast. The Ten of Clubs is fairly immobile so he’ll keep getting hit by the gust of your tornado.
As his HP begins to lower, The Ten of Clubs will unleashExecution. He’ll charge up in a blue aura and then go berserk with four wide swings of the axe. attempt to get out of the way or evenparry his attacksto disrupt this four-hit combo. If it lands, prepare to take around 1,200 to 2,000 damage, depending on how much defense you have and the hits you take.
Once The Ten of Clubs is staggered, attempt to overwhelm him with abilities likeFlames of RebirthandJudgment Bolt.I also foundIgnitionextremely useful as it inflicts many hits and increases the damage multiplier with the bigger attacks. With this strategy against The Ten of Clubs, I was able to get the It’s Over 50,000 trophy which has you deal 50,000 damage while a foe is staggered.
