Essential Skill for Royce Fight

Having any problems with the Royce fight?

Use Jaunt()

This Skill is the quintessential skill to survive this fight.

Make sure that is your last attack every time, if you have distance he usually wont attack and you have time to regain yours.

Good luck.

Mask also helps as well.

Of course, Purge(Breach,Crash) makes the fight trivial, but perhaps too trivial.

I used:
Passives:
-Void()
-Jaunt()
Actives:
-Breach(Cull(), Ping())
-Mask(Tap(), Help())

Just mask up and Turn() that a-hole.

I just used a Load()ed Jaunt() Help()er, Mask()ed when I could and setup blitz Turn()s of backstabbing with a Crash()-Get() then unloading Spark()-Tap() Ping() at point blank range, while setting up three Bark()s, with Void() in my passives for good measure.

I found my usual habit of never taking Bounce() out of passives to be very helpful against Royce since it pretty much guantees his first attack of each of his Turn()s gets negated.

Oh, and was the Transistor's first words in Royce's voice in the beginning of the game, or does that only happen during Recursion?

If you're having trouble, take Void, Breach, and Mask with you. Use Mask in or out of Turn(), then use Void once you're in Turn() three times. Then breach from behind. Guaranteed one or two hit KO.

I used Crash() with Jaunt() and Packet() attached,Spark() with nothing,and Purge() with Breach().Had Ping,that ball thing,the healing move,and something else as Passive.I lost everything except Spark,and it felt right.You know,going down to your last chance,and winning it all.And then Red killed herself :I.

Best way i found to absolutely destroy Royce was to go with Void() and Cull(). I simply used Void() three times to lower his resistance and then i backstabbed him with Cull(). It will take Royce down to around -148 health every time. It's a sligtly cheesy way of doing it but it works!

[Oahkery]

Did this the first time without using Jaunt or anything else to avoid his attacks, and it was easy. Did the fight the second time using Mask and didn't give him a single chance to attack the entire fight. Just put Jaunt as an upgrade to Mask and us it after completing your turn.

[Wordwyrm]

One really good combo against Royce (or anything else in the game) is to backstab him with Crash(), then Mask() + Load(), then straight into Cull() + Ping(). This combo is dependent on the cooldown on Mask(), but it WILL kill Royce in one shot if done right and if you have Void() socketed as a passive.

@[G] Sbuc :It does? You sure? I KNOW I saw at least one of his breaches just bounce right off it when I used it. Granted, it's only good for one attack, but still...

Um, this fight needs a guide? Seriously? Easy even without Jaunt.
