Question on priority of enemy types

[Tony at Home]

So I'm still new to this game, and while there are a lot of videos and tutorials I found telling me how to do cool combos and deal with individual enemies and types- it feels like there's little in the way of putting this all together for one of the larger encounters.


So take for example a situation where I'm facing a diverse group of enemies: so far, this is how I prioritize enemy types.


1) Flying assholes

2) Red assholes

3) Blue assholes


Apart from taking out flying enemies first simply because they drive me nuts, I feel I should ALWAYS be going for Reds before Blues- I'll explain my reasoning but someone please correct me if I'm wrong or you have a better strategy.


If I go for Reds first, when Reds and Blues are in the battle at the same time, I can stall the Blues with Aquila while I wail on the Reds. I feel that when I go for Blues first, I have no way to keep the Reds at bay while I'm focused on using my angelic weapons. I suppose it wouldn't matter and I could take both types on at my leisure, however since not only do these weapons do no damage to the wrong color- but bounce off enemies and cause Dante to flinch, I'm at a larger risk if I hit an enemy with the wrong type of weapon.


So, is this a reliable strategy?

That's pretty much it, stun the blues with Aquila than deal with the reds. Either that or juggle them, knights don't have any ranged attacks and the rage one is easy to stop.

A sound stradigy. But what I've learned is weapon switching and keeping extremely mobile will ultimately save your ass and be more fun, for me.

I also tend to bounce back and forth from red to blue just to build that muscle memory.

Killing flying enemies first is usually key, but just adjusting oyour camera and keeping them out of view will keep the heat off of you, a tactic I use in bloody palace since they drop health.

Witches are bitches. If you ignore them ,they will cast a shield on the enemy you're attacking and leaves them defenseless for a really long time, longer than actually breaking her shield.

Dreamrunners are dicks. I use kablooy, and when they deflect it, I pull their guard down and tag them with another shot. And I'll do whatever combo I want but after they block my first attack , I'll detonate and finish my combo. Also JCing kablooy is good or just go balls deep at them and demon dodge everything ( samD asswhoopin Style)

Prioritzing Blues especially when dealing Frost Knights with shields!!
