Learn the dodge timings on each combo attack the boss uses, or use a spell like Immobilize to freeze the Martialist before they can unleash one.
Fire Flares
The Green-Capped Martialist will conjure several fire projectiles that fly toward you.
Dodge to one side to avoid the projectiles or run to one side to get out of their range.
Rolling Fire
After throwing their weapon at you, the Green-Capped Martialist vanishes. The weapon remains, becoming larger and rolling around the battlefield, leaving trails of fire as it tries to hit you.
The weapon will dash at you four to five times, with a brief delay after each. Use this delay to find the weapon in the boss arena and dodge it every time it chases you.
Sudden Parry
The Green-Capped Martialist can stop any one of their physical attacks by placing their weapon upward in a defensive motion. While glowing, this weapon will parry any attack you use.
Simply stop attacking when you see the boss' weapon glow, or else the Martialist will teleport and attack while you recover from getting parried.
Vanish Assault
After any one of their basic physical strikes, the Green-Capped Martialist can instantly disappear and teleport behind you for a sudden strike.
Don’t lock onto the boss to confuse yourself. Instead, roll away after a moment when you see the Martialist teleport to avoid whatever attack is coming.
