Stats / Weaknesses:

• Type: Fanged Wyvern
• Weak Points: Head and Tail (tail is more receptive)
• Breakable Parts: Head, Body, Front Limbs, Tail

Phases:

1. Standard: Tobi-Kadachi uses quick bites, lunges, charges, spin attacks, and tail swipes.
2. Charged: Tobi-Kadachi charges itself with static electricity, enhancing its attacks with Thunder damage and inflicting Thunderblight. This makes you more susceptible to stuns.
3. Aerial: Tobi-Kadachi frequently leaps and glides between vertical surfaces. It can perform a spinning tail smash attack from the air.

Strategy:

• Ranged Advantage: Tobi-Kadachi's speed and aerial mobility make it a good target for ranged weapons. The Bow is particularly effective due to its mobility and consistent damage output.
• Target the Tail: The tail is a large, vulnerable target, especially for ranged attacks. Breaking the head and tail can yield extra rewards.
• Manage Thunderblight: Aim for at least 20 Thunder Resistance to become immune to Thunderblight. If you can't reach this, bring Nulberries to cure the effect, which makes you easier to stun.
• Slinger Use: Shoot Tobi-Kadachi with your Slinger while it's gliding to knock it out of the air.
• Positioning: Attacking from the flank is generally the safest approach. Avoid large attack chains unless you are certain you can escape safely.
• Evasive Maneuvers: Keep moving and dodge constantly, especially when Tobi-Kadachi is out of sight or takes to the air, as it often performs a dangerous spinning tail smash.
