Walkthrough

1
The Joy is a unique enemy that primarily engages in melee combat.
2
They may occasionally use a whip to attack from a distance.
3
If you get too close, they will attempt to kick you or knock you into the air and attack with their swords.
4
On Normal difficulty, Joys typically appear in groups of three. Try to separate them or use Witch Time (a slow-motion effect triggered by dodging at the last second) as much as possible.
5
Warning: If you are struggling, consider using Torture Attacks. These powerful finishing moves can take off more than 3/4 of a Joy's health, potentially ending the fight quickly if you have enough magic.

Tips

Separate the Joys to fight them one-on-one.
Master dodging to activate Witch Time for easier attacks and evasion.
Prioritize using Torture Attacks when you have the magic and are overwhelmed, as they are highly effective against Joys.
