Let’s explore how to defeat Rayvis and emerge victorious in this epic fight! 💪✨

How to Prepare for the Battle

First things first: before you even step into battle with Rayvis, make sure you’re well-equipped. This includes:

- Keeping Stims Ready: It’s crucial to have Stims on hand, as they will help you recover health during the intense phase of combat.

- Choosing the Right Stance: Experiment with your lightsaber stances ahead of the fight to determine what feels the most effective. We recommend starting with Dual Blade for agility and switching to Crossguard for power during later phases.

Rayvis - Phase 1: Understanding the Basics

In the first phase against Rayvis, the key is to play conservatively. Here’s how:

1. Chip Damage: Focus on getting in small hits while maintaining distance. Rayvis will unleash his unblockable mace attacks—watch out for them! When he swings it around him, it's a signal to dodge.

2. Missile Barrage: Rayvis will launch a series of missiles. Use the Force Push ability to deflect them back, but be cautious! Dodge first to avoid damage from any missiles that may slip through.

3. Airdash Tactics: After Rayvis fires his missiles, utilize your airdash to maneuver behind him and deliver some damage during his recovery. This tactic can help you chip away at around 20% of his health!

4. Dodge & Circle: Rayvis will execute a few swift three-hit combos. Your best bet is to dodge and circle around him to strike right after these combos conclude.

Rayvis - Phase 2: Embrace the Aggression

Once Rayvis loses a third of his health, prepare for an increase in aggression:

1. New Attacks: He introduces a powerful unblockable slam attack and begins to shoot bursts of bolts at you. After he performs a slam, capitalize on his cooldown by landing some attacks.

2. Utilize Slow: Use your Slow ability to assist in healing or dealing damage when you find an opening. This will be vital as you continue wearing him down.

3. Staying Mobile: Remain mobile and continue with your strategy from phase one. Hit hard and retreat, maintaining a safe distance!

Rayvis - Phase 3: Get Ready for a Tougher Fight

At this stage, prepare for Rayvis' shoulder to break. The fight ramps up:

1. Familiar Attack Pattern: He'll continue his earlier attacks but now has a new mace move where he throws the end of it. This attack comes with little warning, so practice timing your dodges!

2. Close Gap when Possible: When he performs mace kicks, quickly close the distance and retaliate. There will be another window to deal damage.

3. Save Your Slow Ability: If you’ve used your Slow ability previously, it's vital to have it available for healing or to strike decisively as the battle draws to a close.

Rayvis - Phase 4: The Final Showdown

This is the last phase against Rayvis, and it’s crucial to maintain composure:

1. No Checkpoint: Remember that defeat means restarting the entire fight. So play defensively and carefully.

2. Increased Aggression: Rayvis becomes more aggressive, using his missiles more often and combining them with blaster shots. Try to dodge and attack quickly.

3. Switch Stances: Use the Crossguard stance for maximum damage potential when you have the opportunity. Successfully parrying a three-hit mace combo can stagger him and deal huge chunks of health.

4. Final Opportunities: By utilizing your Slow ability preferably when he’s low on health, you can secure a victory using quick strikes to finish the battle decisively.

Conclusion: Claim Your Reward! 🎉

After a hard-fought battle, Rayvis will yield, offering a reward in the form of the Centered perk. With patience and skillful execution, you can defeat Rayvis and continue your journey in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. May the Force be with you as you tackle this worthy adversary!
