How do you counter lightning

[P O P]

So I know how you are supposed to do right click mid air, then click, but whenever I try to do it, I end up dodging the lightning. I'm at the guy who chopped off your arm. Think it's Genichiru way of Tomoe? Every time I get to 3rd phase, he just does the lightning and kills me. How should I counter the lightning?

You have to parry while in the air to become "charged", then attack before you reach the ground. You only take massive damage if you get hit while on the ground or you hit the ground while charged.

You don't actually have to parry the lightning to send it back. Get hit midair, then attack before hitting the ground and it will return the lightning. You'll take chip damage this way, but its a lot easier to execute than adding in the midair deflect as well.

It's just a tiny amount of damage as long as you don't screw it up. Make sure you get hit in the air and then just mash the attack button. The timing is very lenient.

You take a little chip damage even if you properly deflect the lighting.

Now at very low health afaik it can kill you.



You can also use mist raven prostetic for easier reflect timing and zero chip dmg but then it cost spirit embelms.

(Mist Raven is hidden in the Hirata memory guarded by a Lone shadow who is very strong for early game.)

Yeah for Geni phase 3 good to learn reflecting it also stuns him so you can heal or give him 2-3 R1hits so lot of vitality dmg.

Either jump a short moment after the kanji sign pops up because then you'll have the most time in the air and being able to redirect it or get the mistraven prosthetic from hirata estate, cause then all you have to do is equip it, stand completely still and right before lightning hits you, activate. You will shot up in the sky and get the lightning. In both cases, as soon as you are hit with it, spam attack.

Just be careful not to be too close to Genichiro as there is a chance the lightning will miss him which would be a waste of precious damage & stun.

Thanks! Now is the mistraven prosthetic past the drunkard boss? And also what is an R1 attack? I'm using a keyboard instead of a controller.

R1 is left mouse button.
(until I found out that there's an option to change button prompts, I kept referencing the big picture of a controller in the menu to find out what they want me to press)

Mistaven is before drunkard. As you should know, there is a river running through the hirata map. At the last bridge that's right before you met owl and get the key, jump down into the water and go upstream. You will notice an item there(if you haven't picked it up yet) and there will be a bambo "door" to the right which leads to an area with wall jumps. After that, just follow the path to the pagoda(tower) and mistraven is located there. Do note that there is an assassin there which are probably among if not the hardest humans to deal with in this game. Can recommend upgrading mistraven too as each upgrades gives you a bigger iframe.

This answers a question I had

I tested proper Lightning Reversal using Mid-Air deflection and, even though there was a perfect parry ding, I still took a little damage
