Moves used by Hjalti The Stolid
Here are the standard moves that Hjalti uses to attack her opponents:
- A Blue ring will appear on the screen if Hjalti is charging. You can stop her from charging at you with the help of your shield. This will help you to Bash her and stun her for a moment, preventing her from setting.
- Attacks shown in Yellow rings are easy to dodge and Parry if you are close enough. Countering the yellow ring attacks can deal her additional damage.
- The most potent and most brutal attack to dodge is her ranged attack marked with Red rings. Dodge these attacks to avoid damage.
