Hayato

So how do You boss?

So while they're great mobbers, I'm having a little difficulty bossing. Most of its maximum damage output (in my eyes) comes by the way of chaining its skills to optimize damage output but while bossing, this is sometimes difficult (like at Horntail, Zakum's arms, etc) and so my question is what is the best way you've found to maximize the skills you have to get the highest damage output? Of course this answer would change depending on the boss but I'm looking for both generalized and specific methods.

@hangwithhung: If you have a Mihile, you could always throw the link skill in there.

@traitor Haha I haven't tried a zero either but from what I hear, Hayato is very similar, though it lacks the true need for a rotation of skills. However I haven't seen/heard enough from Hayato players to confirm whether or not this is the case. But you're right for the most part it seems to be Shinsoku and Hitokiri for max damage output. I guess it's good knowing that despite Hayato's lack of stance the and is so darn high. I mean it's not reliable yet to the point I don't need to use Knights Watch but it's saved me more than a few times

I personally haven't done so myself, but I would like to think it''s similar to a bit of Zero's mobility along with spam of Shinsoku + Hitokiri

this is my first time using such a mobile class to boss... or attempt to, so it's really different for me. thanks for the tips!

for ht i'd just hitokiri bind the 3 heads first to avoid armor up nonsense then rai the rest of the body. in hellux, its faster to just shinsoku spam while sidestepping the center portal over surging blade and falcon diving to each side (which i was doing in my hard gollux video). 99% of the time its just shinsoku spam with an occasional hitokiri
