Character guides

Links

• 1st Combo (Y X, then Y Y Y X while ennemy in air), very useful because throw ennemy in air where they can't block. Try to block ennemy against wall so that final attack hits. Good against Lizalfos.
• Bow is good against Lizalfos, esp. when they fly. Most efficient is hookshot though, which trigger WPG.

Sword

• WPG breaker: Lead-in C4 > Aerial Weak x3 > Aerial Strong > Special > repeat.

Lana

From Lana (Book) Character Guide - Reddit:

• C1 to combine with other. Make sure to aim and hit the walls. It often requires to dash cancel other combos to leave some walls in place.
• C2 not very effective against officers, but lot of area damage if dash cancel after 3 walls, then C1.
• C3 can do lot of WPG damage.
• C4 the WPG killer. On Boss, dash cancel before pushing the walls, and repeat. In maps with lava, water, sky, make sure to push the walls to push ennemies off map.
• C5 especially in keeps + combo with C1.
• Skills:

• Combine with Str. Attack I+ to boost C1 that can be combined with any combo.
• Use Lightning+, combine well since all attacks are quick.

Cia

From https://www.reddit.com/r/HyruleWarriors/comments/2pi1u7/cia_character_guide/:

• Fast WPG breaker:

• C4 as soon as possible, dash cancel after 4th link. C4 again and cancel after 4th. Special attack to finish.
• If no special, start with a C5 asap, aligning diagonally with boss so that to hit with two wells. Then spam C4 as above.
• Start C6 asap, dash cancel after portal appearing. Then another weak combo.

• C1 to cancel stun/knockback, effective against ReDeads! Increase darkness damage. Useful against anything larger than grunt.
• C2 very effective against keeps.
• C3 very effective to hit distant WPG of captains, etc; or also against outpost.
• C4 very effective against boss WPG.
• C5 very effective when beating a captain / commander in a corner (eg. Darunia).

Enemy guides

Volga

Links [1]

• Keep hitting him until he lunges forward (he ALWAYS does when block user attack) and stabs his spear into the ground. This will always show his weak point. Once you know the animation for the move just dodge behind him as soon as he starts so you are ready for the WPG.
• To piggyback off of QueenCia, If he goes into Dragon Mode (C5), Z-target him, hold shield and alternate dodging left and right. Every character can maintain complete invulnerability this way, and it will help you stay close to him while avoiding the attacks.

Ganon

From reddit and wikihow.

First:

• Tail sparkling → Argorok-like → hookshot.
• Throws shit with his horns → Manhandla-like → Get out of range and boomerang (must be done twice).
• Fireball with left arm → Dodongo-like → Bomb.
• Beam with ritht arm → Gohma-like → Arrow.

Then:

• Wait for Ganon to jump at you, doing 180°, then aim and shoot arrow at the sparkling jewel.

Phantom Ganon

From reddit:

Tips to trigger weak point gauge:

• Throw bombs on his cape (easiest of all tricks).
• When he is laughing after an attack, walk up close and throw a bomb. The explosion counts as "Hitting him from behind".
• Use interrupted focus spirit attack.

• Smithy: [2]

• Good skills to keep are EXP+, Rupee+ and Material+.
• Good combo: Slots+ & Stars+ (to max drop of 5 star weapons with more slots), but this lowers your chance of getting materials from bosses (so try to avoid combo with Material+).

Smithy

Some tips [3]:

• Focus on Materials+ Stars+ Slots+ and Rupees+ EXP+.
• Typical sword: ELEMENT, SLOTS, STARS, SPECIAL, Attack Dmg, Strength X, vs Soldier, Health.
