Takashima Shuhan Fight Strategy
Takashima Shuhan is a master who is equipped with a giant hammer. Despite the size of his weapon, he can be pretty quick with it. One of his attacks is the Hammer Side Swing. In close range, Takashima positions the hammer to the side with both hands and swings it sideways. Use your dodge ability before he executes the swing to avoid getting hit.
Another move is the Bomb Throw. Takashima lobs a circular bomb toward you, and it bursts into smaller bombs in mid air to increase the area of effect. When you see the bomb thrown, immediately create distance to avoid the smaller bombs.
He also performs Diagonal Swing. Takashima positions the hammer to the side of his head to gain momentum and then swings it diagonally downward. Once you see him position the hammer, block or dodge to avoid damage.
Another attack is the Overhead Hammer Slam. Takashima positions the hammer over his head and slams it downward to the ground. When you see him raise the hammer, block or dodge to avoid getting hit.
He uses Hammer Combo 1 as well. Takashima performs two diagonal swings and ends with an overhead hammer slam. Create distance to avoid the sequence, or block the first two swings and dodge the final slam.
Another move is Hammer Thrust. Takashima charges at you and tries to hit you with the end of the hammer. Side step to avoid the attack.
He also performs 4 Spin Hammer Swing. Takashima positions the hammer to the side and spins four times to hit you. After avoiding the first spin, continue backing up to avoid the rest of the swings.
Finally, he uses Hand Cannon. Takashima pulls out a hand cannon and shoots toward your direction. The bullet speed is slow, so you have enough time to side step.
