Wuthering Waves: How to Defeat the Blazing Cutlass
Enemy Location

Accessing the adversary requires that your Data Hub is at least level 2. When the time of hunting the thing is upon you, you shall directly access the site of the Blazing Cutlass from the Data Hub. To do so, teleport to the Resonance Beacon southeast of Tethys Hub and then move west. The adversary is waiting in a small fight arena beside a tower.

Enemy Overview

Blazing Cutlass is an overworld monster of Fusion Warrior, and it is an improvement on that monster; it should, therefore, be formidable to confront. Much like its relative, Blazing Cutlass also has higher Fusion resistance. This opponent has simple attack patterns and a little arsenal, yet it is a great challenge because it is agile and fast.

It's worth noting that if you back away from the enemy, it will lunge forward and try to impale you with one of its blades. It will also do a three-hit combo when you are in range. These are its two key attacks. Once you get used to these and feel that there is loads of time before the opponent hits, you will find these very easy to avoid.

Team Suggestions

Above, we showed that Blazing Cutlass has really high resistance to Fusion; given that, it would be good to take some Fusion troops that can deal some damage, such as Mortefi, Encore, and Changli. Here are a couple of suggestions that the team came out with, which you may find helpful:

Jinhsi, Yinlin, Shorekeeper

Yao Xiangli, Shorekeeper Yinlin

Huang, Verina, Zhezhi, Jinhsi

Havoc Rover, Baizhi, Sanhua

If your squad suffers heavy damage from this boss, then a healer or buffer like Verina, Shorekeeper, or Baizhi will be a must in survival. Of course, just so long as a Fusion damage-dealing character is not in those two slots, the other two could be flexible. In fighting against this boss, a main damage dealer such as Calcharo, Jiyan, Jinhsi, or Xiangli Yao will suit best.

Tips and Strategies

It may have nimble reflexes and formidable strength, but the Blazing Cutlass is no match to a paragon such as yourself. The following techniques and tips give you wider perspectives on how to be more successful in defeating this opponent:

You will need a balanced squad with the main damage-dealing character, DPS, who has the best gear possible, along with dedicated supports and a sub-DPS unit to complement them in battle.

You need to be patient in this fight because if you get hit by his melee strikes, you will lose a huge amount of health. In other words, be patient and wait for the perfect opportunity to counterattack or dodge. 

Use food buffs to your advantage when the fight against an enemy is getting tough, as that can buff your damage. 

Rewards
