Yoruhime-Maru tips?

[Raziel]

I find this boss fight so frustrating, I'm not entirely sure what to do to beat him. As soon as the shield pops up, I die. There isn't enough time for me to dash out of the way of the mortar plus canon fire, and if I do manage to survive, he's just going to shoot another mortar and kill me. How am I supposed to beat him?

[Koumori]

During the first phase of the battle he always fires his mortars in a horizontal line centered on the player—when you hear the mortars fire, move either toward or away from him to avoid the volley. You don't even need to dash, you can just walk out of the way.

During phase two his mortar shots are more random, but you'll have approximately two seconds from the time the indicators appear until they land, so just pay attention to where the red circles are showing up and dash to a safe spot immediately.

Also, watch out for the jellyfish he starts summoning when he reaches 50% health. Their aura inflicts decay, which makes avoiding the mortar much more difficult, so kill them ASAP unless you're immune to decay (most likely from the Corrosion Shard scroll).

I'll try and keep that in mind when I face him again, I just feel like his mortar hits faster than my reaction time

I prefer him over that damn snake

Are we talking about his phase 2 where he transforms or still in phase 1? If it's phase 2, you can also shoot the mortars in the air.

Phase 1, didn't know I could shoot them in the second phase, thanks for the tip!

You cannot shoot the mortar projectiles. You can shoot the cannonballs from the main cannon in phase two, but that's an entirely separate attack.

Hell yes, the snake is pain! Gets killed quicker, but it's usually a race to who dies first for me. I also believe it drops less rewards? Or at least in some modes, like s1 mechanic.
