Renoir, to your dismay, fights much like he does in the cutscenes – brutal yet flashy. Below are all the attacks you need to watch for:
- Renoir attacks from a distance: In this, Renoir swipes with his blade to send dark waves to damage you. He spins around a lot while doing so, throwing you off from reading the pattern. The first wave and second wave come right away, while the third comes after 2 spins. After the third, he jumps into the air and smashes to the ground to end the attack. The hits, with the exception of the third, are all easy to parry.
- Renoir gathers an incredible amount of Chroma: The Chroma forms a ball in the air and shoots down a large beam at you. This beam has a sharp sound before it launches, so wait for the audio cue to parry.
- Renoir performs a melee combo: This is a five-hit combo with a delay after the third strike. He jumps right before the fourth strike, so that’s your cue to parry.
- Renoir summons a pool of Chroma: Jump when the jump icon appears and counterattack.
- Renoir attempts to vanish: Renoir rushes up to you, summoning a black ball and jumping to strike. Parry just as Renoir jumps.
- Petals gather around Renoir: Renoir summons petals to heal him. Destroy these petals right away.
- Renoir summons strange masks: These masks attack from a distance for 7 (parryable) hits.
