stuck around 20-25ish in violent cybergrind

[Isabelle]

its the damn mindflayers. im really bad at parrying so the projectiles they shoot are the bane of my existence. any general tips for killing flayers / higher cybergrind levels?

[Isabelle]

particularly the double flayers on 22 i think it was.

Use the Mindflayer's Orbs on another Mindflayer, as it will make a big damage to them I think.

doesnt that require a precise parry

im real ♥♥♥♥ at parrying

try shooting the projectiles with the red revolver

[Indiana not Jones]

Theres a few ways, but the best way to go about killing mindflayers, is the moment their projectiles spawn, to hit them with an explosive of some kind, Rocket launcher is the best weapon to use for this, if you can't do that or the rocket is to slow for you, shotgun parry with a second charge, though that seems to be less reliable for an instakill.
You can also storage launch into the air, and deal with it away from everything else, though sentry's can make that damn near impossible if left unchecked.
As for parrying, just practice in the sandbox. Make enemy's invincible, and practice for a bit. Will take a while to master, but in higher difficulty and CG levels its damn near required.
If this still doesn't help you, find a video on youtube. They'll probably restate what I said, but they should also discuss various tech and weapons to help you with killing it.
Hope this helps.

ive found slam storage-ing my way to the top of the arena is a good way of getting an easy aerial dogfight with them since they always teleport to me. i know everyone hates the green variant of the charge rifle thing but pinning flayers in place is really just perfect

go off level with rockets to avoid sentry/orb fire then spam proboosts if u miss the oneshot

whats the oneshot? just a parried shotgun shot when they shoot the orbs? so its like short range shotgunning a maurice?

one shot is malrailing when they spawn orbs

or any explosion. knuckleblast, core eject, projectile boost, rocket launcher...

[Formal Coffee Bean]

My personally prefered method is to slam-storage upwards, throw four coins and charge up an alt piercer revolver shot. Whenever they teleport up, you shoot the coins and deal a significant amount of damage towards them. Then, you get 2 charges on the pump shotgun and projectile-boost the mindflayer at close distance. That kills them pretty consistently.
However, if you get more than 1 mindflayer, then you're going to need to dogfight the other one.
