Gotham Knights

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Basher: Similar to Bulldozer, has molotovs and a shield bash, can also pound the ground for a shockwave. Vulnerable to Heavy Attacks.
• Blazer: More troublesome attacks, including a grab and a sweeping attack. Vulnerable to Heavy Attacks.
• Adds: Regular enemies and Freaks with knives will appear throughout the fight.

Phases:

1. Initial Phase: Disarm one bomb. Fight regular enemies.
2. Boss Phase 1: Basher and Blazer appear with one Freak. Two bombs will arm simultaneously. Clear adds, then focus on one boss.
3. Boss Phase 2: After one boss is defeated, three bombs will arm per cycle. Continue focusing on the remaining boss.
4. Conclusion: Defeat the second boss and disarm any remaining active bombs.

Strategy:

• Before the bosses appear, you must disarm bombs planted in the basement room. If a bomb arms, you have 30 seconds to disarm it, or it's game over.
• After disarming the first bomb, regular enemies will appear. Defeat them.
• Basher and Blazer will then appear, accompanied by a Freak. More Freaks will appear at set points.
• When the bosses appear, two bombs will arm at intervals, with a 30-second limit to disarm both.
• Prioritize defeating the adds first, then concentrate on one of the two bosses.
• Blazer's attacks can be harder to evade, including a grab and a sweeping attack. Fire resistance armor can help but is not essential.
• Basher's molotovs are easily dodged and create attack openings. His shield bash is similar to the Bulldozer's, but he can also pound the ground for a short-ranged shockwave. Dodge away when he runs.
• Use Heavy Attacks to stun both Basher and Blazer.
• Utilize Momentum Abilities frequently.
• Focus on defeating one boss completely before switching attention to the other for better survivability.
• Once one boss is defeated, three bombs will arm per cycle.
• After both bosses are defeated, disarm any remaining active bombs to end the fight.

Alright, so you've made it through the hospital and dealt with those Freaks, but now it's time for the main event: Harley Quinn. Don't sweat it, she's tough but totally beatable. The fight is broken down into three phases, and she'll trigger a new phase when you knock her health down to about 75% and then again at 50%.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Harley Quinn is highly acrobatic, making her a difficult target.
• Perfect Evades followed by Perfect Attacks are your best bet for landing solid hits.
• Ranged attacks are effective when she's in her attack animations.
• Electric traps in the arena will explode if you get too close.

Phases:

1. Phase 1 (100% - 75% Health): Harley uses her standard moves. Focus on dodging and finding openings.
2. Phase 2 (75% - 50% Health): After a short cutscene, Harley calls in some Harley Devotees. Ignore them as much as possible and focus on Harley, who now has an electrified hammer and new attacks.
3. Phase 3 (50% - 0% Health): Harley is alone again and uses mostly the same moves, but chains them together more frequently. She may also wildly swing her hammer, deflecting ranged attacks.

Strategy:

• Harley's Attacks:
  • Three-Hit Acrobatic Combo: She'll flip, upswing her hammer, flip again smashing it down, and finish with a spin. You can Perfect Evade the final hit. She might also just run up and start with the first hit.
  • Mine Throw: Watch for red circles on her hands as she jumps back and tosses three mines your way.
  • Hammer Jab/Grab: She'll jab with her hammer or try to grab you. A Perfect Evade is crucial here to avoid a command throw and unavoidable damage.
  • Spinning Kick Combo (Phase 2+): She'll use her hammer to spin and kick, followed by a sweeping hammer attack and a low sweep. The final hit can be Perfect Evaded.
  • Electric Projectiles (Phase 2+): She throws three projectiles; two curve, one goes straight. Keep moving to dodge these quick attacks.
• Dealing with Devotees (Phase 2): These guys are weaker than normal Freaks. Your best bet is to try and ignore them and focus entirely on Harley, as they'll just keep spawning.
• Final Phase Pressure: In the last phase, Harley attacks more rapidly. Stay mobile, keep dodging, and chip away at her health. If she starts wildly swinging her hammer, switch to melee for a bit.

Just keep at it, focus on dodging her combos, and you'll eventually bring her down!
