Key Tips and Strategies

  1. Choosing the Right Character and Weapons

Optimal Characters:

  • Lepic: Highly recommended due to his fire-based attacks.
  • Bonny: Also a good choice if available.

Avoid:

  • Frina with Toxic Weapons: The Dead Bride is highly resistant to toxic attacks.

Weapon Attributes:

  • Fire Attack: The Dead Bride is very weak to fire, making it crucial to have weapons with fire attack.
  • Weak Point Damage: Adjust your weapons to maximize weak point damage.

    Weapon Customization:
  • Workbench Adjustments: If you lack fire attack on your weapons, use the workbench to reconfigure them. Lock desirable attributes and re-roll the others to hopefully get fire attack.

Modules:

  • Cold Resistance: Enhance your modules, especially focusing on cold resistance. The “Cold Antibody” module is essential, ideally enhanced to five pips, providing significant resistance to chill.

  1. Combat Strategy

Long-Range Weapons:

  • Tactical Rifle or Sniper Rifle: Use these for significant damage from a distance.
  • Sniper Rifle: Particularly effective, even without hitting weak points.

Close-Range Weapons:

  • SMG: Useful for dealing with the small module enemies that the Dead Bride spawns.

  1. Understanding the Dead Bride’s Attacks

Key Weak Points:

  • Shoulders: Aim for her shoulders when they flash yellow to break her armor quickly.
  • Center: Target the center of her body for precision damage.

Attack Patterns:

  • Arm Blast: A basic projectile attack that is easy to dodge.
  • Missile Barrage: Wide spread missiles; dodge forward or backward to avoid.
  • Ice Spin Attack: Creates ice particles and causes significant damage if too close; back away and use long-range weapons.
  • Ice Crystals: Avoid stepping on these as they deal massive damage and slow you down.

  1. The Ice Dome Move

Run Killer Move:

  • Purple Bar Warning: When you see a purple bar filling, the Dead Bride is about to use her devastating ice dome attack.
  • Escape Strategy: Run as far as possible and use grapples to avoid being trapped inside the dome. If caught inside without cold resistance, you will likely die.

Immune Phase:

  • Battery Packs: She has two battery packs on her arm cannon. Destroying these can stop her from shooting, but it’s challenging.
  • Survival: Focus on surviving by eliminating smaller enemies for health and ammo. Keep moving and avoid her attacks until she is no longer immune.

  • Stay Aggressive: Continuously attack and kill smaller enemies for health and ammo.
  • Team Coordination: If playing with others, communicate effectively to manage the fight better.
  • No Downtime: Be prepared for a relentless fight, especially when playing solo.
