How to fight blitz with vergil

[ᔕOᒪᑌᑎᗩ]

someone please teach me how to fight blitz with vergil..

[Spartan]

Spam him with swords until he gets stunned. Prop him up with swords and greet him with a fully charged 2nd beowulf attack +DT distortion. It's an instakill.

[DiabolusUrsus]

I usually go:

Spiral Swords (melee-range damage to his lightning cloak)

Spam Summoned Swords at him, jump and roll to avoid.

If I don't have it already, build up max Concentration by just standing next to him when he's looking around.

As soon as his cloak is down, close the distance and go into Yamato Combo C (multi-slash) before chaining into Lunar Phase to avoid the downtime. Alternate for a bit until I think his shield is about to come back.

Back to sword spam with Storm Swords as often as possible. It usually nets me between S and SS, sometimes with SSS.

Dealing with Blitzes is usually just a matter of dealing as much damage as possible. I'm still getting accustomed to the timing, but I want to experiment with Dragon Breaker (it has an impact effect that reminds me of Real Impact) and see if it can be distorted...

[Broadsword]

Every move can be distorted, the difficulty is in the timing and whether or not it's worthwhile to do with that move.

More than that, Teach me how to deal with Blitz as Trish... DT guns is basically the only way i've found, and you're not always stocked with DT when you meet one...

To eliminate the shield, use a ranged attack, it's that simple. Annoying, requiring to use certain weapons and attacks, yes, but it's still highly simple.

If you have a move that delivers a ranged attack, it affects the Blitz' shield.

fun thing though: trish can throw the sparda sword but it actually does nothing. the roudtrip with it just clings back to you and the V-whatchamacallit does hit, but does even less than unbuffed guns and is less reliable in hitting.
I just wish there was a reliable way to deal with Blitz...

Too bad Vergil doesn't have royal guard, I didn't know all attacks could be distorted either totally gonna start using that.

Could have shredded so many bosses with that.
