Cia

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).

Impa

• Impa (Giant Blade) Character Guide - Reddit

• C1: very effective against Named Officer (from a distance, because when you're too close, Named Officer will be blocking).
• C2: (XY[X][Y]) best for 1-on-1 against Officer. C2 with weak then heavy is for Officer WPG.
• C6: most powerful, but need to be timed correctly (eg. Wizzro preparing laser attack, or Ganondorf's slashing barrier).
• Boss WPG: C3, dodge cancel then C4, dodge cancel run to front and C4 again.
• Skill: Water, Water+ (to interrupt ennemy attack), Strength V and Strength II.

• All About Impa (Giant Blade Guide/Analysis) - Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition | Ninja Warrior

Lana

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.

Lana (Summoning Gate) Character Guide - Reddit

• TBC

Link

• 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.

Sheik

All About Sheik (Harp Guide / Analysis - Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition

• Note: all attacks do only electric damage, despites the elemental effects they can cause (eg. damage-over-time effect for water tornado).
• Dodging: Sheik can dodge constantly, without vulnerability period. Constantly dodging is the best way to keep Sheik safe. Very useful to dodge damage, against eg. Imprisoner, but also keep barrier!
• C2: Water tornado. Useful as defensive move.
• C2, then C1: Serenade of Water. Water shield, up to 4 hearts, and protect against stunning attacks from Gibdos and Redead Knights. Very useful in challenges that requires to take as little damage as possible. Make sure to always have this shield up.
• C3: very fast.
• C3, then C1: Bolero of Fire. Quite slow, but very effective against Boss WPG.
• C4: Fast, efficient to get rid of small group of monsters.
• C4, then C1: Song of Storm. Swirling vortex around Sheik, pushing and damaging ennemies. Not very useful.
• C5: not very useful.
• C5, then C1: Nocture of Shadow. This attracts ennemies. Some players use it to then attack with C3 + C1.
• C6: Explosion of light. Excellent crowd clearer.
• C6, then C1: Prelude of light. Gigantic light square, that can fill up 100% special meter (do not dodge). Can also take this time to recharge water shield.

Sheik Character Guide - Reddit

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.

Dodongo

• Block in front of him to avoid damage, and trigger his attack.

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+).

Some tips [3]:

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