White Defender tips

– Opening 0:19​, can get a few nail hits in before the fight technically starts (or Abyss shriek if doing in the pantheon or playthrough)

– Underground-into-projectiles 0:29​, first focus should be on where he is springs up so you are ready to shadow dash if needed. You cannot desolate dive to pop him up like you can with Dung Defender. When he jumps up you can either; 1. Abyss Shriek, great for damage and destroys the falling projectiles. 2. Nail hits, if run out of soul or saving it. Be careful as the knockback from the nail hits can push you under the closest projectile.

– Dung ball throws 0:31​, there are two variations;

1. 2 balls, this will normally be one long throw-one short throw and be followed by either an underground into projectile or a short ‘dolphin’ dive (0:38​)

2. 3 balls 1:03​, this will be followed by W.Defender bouncing around the arena, you can upstrike him and keep him in the air potentially for the entire fight if you can keep the rhythm.

– Dung balls, the projectiles can be hit to either push away or upstrike if it’s about to hit you. For the ones thrown by dung defender, once they will breakdown after hitting the ground twice.

– Short Pillars 0:49​, can either walk or dash away depending on how soon you recognise the move happening.

– Full arena pillars 1:13​, after an amount of time in ball form WD will dive and produce pillars that go across the entire arena. These you can either monarch wings jump over, wall climb and jump over or shadow dash through.

– Scream 1:19​, after this he will go into 5+ underground-projectiles. Keep the focus on where he is going to appear first, and then damage after avoiding.
