How do you beat Blade Bearer Code Vein?

The Blade Bearer in Code Vein is a formidable opponent, and defeating her requires a combination of strategy, preparation, and skill. With the right approach, however, you can emerge victorious and continue your journey through the game. In this article, we’ll provide some tips and strategies to help you beat the Blade Bearer and progress through Code Vein.

First Encounter with Blade Bearer

Before we dive into the tips and strategies for defeating the Blade Bearer, let’s first explain what happens during your initial encounter with her. Once you enter the area with the Blade Bearer for the first time, be prepared for a challenging battle. She is a versatile opponent who can deal both melee and ranged damage.

Stun and Abuse

To make the encounter easier, focus on using your mobility and dodges to stun the Blade Bearer. Once she is stunned, you can execute a combo of attacks followed by a finisher for significant damage. Repeat this process to whittle her down to manageable health before taking a moment to refill your stamina and plan the next phase of the attack.

Phase 1: Dealing with Rushes and Melee Attacks

During the initial phase, the Blade Bearer prioritizes using her melee abilities to get up close. To counter this, wait for her to initiate melee attacks, and then circle around to the side that is open to you while keeping your shield up or dodging. Once positioned, perform a few slash attacks, then backstep and let her attack as she charges forward. Now, is the time you strike her, use rapid-fire shots with your grappling hook. Remember to pay attention to your stamina meters and pause when necessary; the enemy can easily rush in during the pause which will be the end-game for you.

Parrying her Rushes:

You can also stun her using the parrying system by using your secondary weapon’s secondary attack – which sends the blade forth. It is crucial here to note that the success of parrying depends on the timing and the player having a full stamina bar available. Use your shield attack, dash backwards, counter-attack while the melee attacks can’t be charged during parrying. So, by now, let’s try to understand about parrying:

As seen in Table 1, the proficiency in the parrying also has a direct impact upon the time required to complete the stun, which can easily save the player from having to engage in an attack or be struck by damage. A good strategy is waiting for a stun and strike when possible. The effectiveness of this approach will entirely depend on your ability of using this parrying function, along with your quick reflexes and stamina planning.

Phase 2: Taking Ranged Fights

As the opponent’s health reduces, expect her to transition to focusing on ranged attacks. Set up an anchor point outside of the attack range which you are sure you aren’t taking any damage that can allow her to sneak up behind you. Aim your ranged weapon at its anchor, keep moving by dashing in the required direction or around the walls to ensure your safety always. With her in no range and out of shock, then your combo set up in no time attack, dodge roll, recover and ready to repeat or continue moving in a cyclic pattern while not letting her get close. After each sequence of attacks dodge and let the Blade take her turns before striking a combo of 3 4. With her in phase 1 or 3, take this chance to strike and keep the momentum.

Table 2 shows the exact combo strategy.

The success of this combos strategy largely depends on time management of stamina and planning, a combo set needs to end after 90% damage for a long duration so it is mandatory to recover. Keep tracking the damage output of damage by this strategy and manage the combos.

These tips will provide you solid foundation in taking down this challenging foe and continue onwards through Code Vein.
