Guardian Sheet Attack and strategy

The Guardian Arkbell has one big trick on the sleeve and I use it all the time. Chan Blade There are main events on either side of its body, and you can expect all sorts of attacks surrounding them.
Whenever you’re away from a monster, perhaps Close the gap using a chain blade. This is shown by Arkveld turning his head slightly and raising his arm before hitting the ground. Be careful as this movement is usually followed by similar attacks with other chain blades. If you can dodge the first one, be prepared to avoid it again immediately. Each attack has a short window that can potentially target wounds, but it’s best to avoid them completely and rearrange yourself instead.
The attacks that are often seen include chain blades, but in a slightly different way. If that chain blade starts to glow white and you do a small jump while Arkveld stands in place, that means it’s trying to do Vertical swipe using both arms. It’s a good thing to memorize this move, as it’s reliable for creatures. There are kind variants that use only one arm and only weak attacks, but generally expect heavy ones just in case.
Arkveld utilizes the rest of the body in a more normal form. If you’re attacking that face, it tries to make you bite, sometimes repeating the action quickly and in succession. It also uses the claws in conjunction with the chain blade, as if you were holding a dagger while dragging the ground. You can expect at least one movement with the tail, but it doesn’t happen frequently, but it tries to hit if it’s approaching the rear end and rotating in place.
Most often, you will encounter small variations of the attack mentioned above throughout the battle. It is particularly worth noting that arkveld Use both chain blades for the ground slam. When doing so, you’ll cover a large area, but if you manage to dodge it, use Focus mode to aim for the blade. There may be an opportunity for attack. It’s not something that targets wounds, but if hit on time it can neutralize the monster.
The key is to focus as much on the weaknesses as possible throughout the fight. Chainblades are as weak as fatal, so try attacking them whenever possible. The head is not an easy target, but you should focus when opportunities arise. If the tail has proven to be annoying, don’t forget that you can cut it.
Dodge chain blades whenever possible alongside normal wound control Don’t forget to use traps. The key is to make monsters more likely to attack as often as possible. If you are spending a long time in the air, set up a trap and feed it towards you. If you can enter your dodge properly, you will hit the trap instead.
