Carmelita Attack Patterns
Dagger Dance
Carmelita twirls through the air with her dual blades. The sequence covers a wide area and forces you to wait until her chain of flips finishes before moving in.
Stage Leap
She leaps to either side of the arena in an acrobatic flip. When she lands, a line of spikes erupts from the ground directly ahead of her position. This punishes reckless approaches and requires careful spacing.
Carmelita Strategy
The fight is about patience. Do not rush in after her leaps, as the ground spikes can catch you if you dash too early. Instead, hold position and strike only after the spikes disappear.
During her aerial dance, stay mobile and wait until she finishes her sequence. Once she lands, you can safely close in for attacks. Repeating this cycle keeps you out of danger while steadily whittling her down.
