Complete Star Descent (2) Mission 1, 7th Airborne Squad walkthrough for Goddess of Victory: Nikke. Learn how to use Combo Attacks, Perfect Parries, and Beta Skills.
Walkthrough
- 1Follow Tachy to the Rendezvous Point.
- 2Use Combo Attack strings with □ for quick attacks and △ for strong attacks. The strong attack's initial wide swing can be canceled to repeat by using the Guard ability (L1 button).
- 3Engage the Beholders. Use two careful Perfect Parries (guard with L1 at the right time) to down them.
- 4Execute a brutal punish with Retribution (△) when a Beholder is off balance (indicated by two balance icons: ◆◆).
- 5Successfully parrying or striking enemies charges Beta Energy (BE), which can be spent on Beta Skills. Use Triplet (L1 + △) to stop foes directly in front of you.
- 6Use your Rush attack (Hold △) which has a cooldown, to engage enemies when locked on with R3 or to escape when facing away from an opponent.
- 7Use Slash (L1 + △) to strike enemies surrounding EVE.
- 8Fight the Brute (Elite Naytiba) with nine shield bars (◆x9). Block or parry most of its attacks, including Knuckle drag punch, single punch, double swing punch, haymaker, back swing punch, and triple swing.
- 9Evade attacks like the Brute's Double Crush, which are signposted when the enemy flashes yellow.
- 10After defeating the Brute, an Alpha Naytiba appears, disarms Tachy, and forces a retreat.
