  2. Attacks on the extended arms

Battle[]

Dreadnought's arms can be destroyed by focusing on using physical attacks as they automatically target them. Staggering the Dreadnought either by exploiting its weakness to ice during Wrecking Ball, or when its arms are destroyed, will encase it in ice.

The drop rate for Heat Blitz increases significantly by destroying the arms.

Strategy[]

The easiest way to defeat Dreadnought is by bringing Ice-elemental abilities, like Blizzara and Froststrike. It is important to keep at a distance. The player can sever its arms via Froststrike. Afterwards they should move away and use Blizzara. When the Dreadnought uses Wrecking Ball or Pulverize, the player should aim for a Perfect Block. Blizzard and the regular Attack can be useful.

The player can use Overclock to unleash ice and/or high-powered attacks onto the arm. If enough damage is dealt, the arm explodes and the Dreadnought is temporarily stunned. After this, staggering it with ice attacks should be easy.

Etymology[]

Dreadnoughts were a type of battleship popular in the first half of the 20th century before the advent of the aircraft carrier made them obsolete. They were gigantic heavily armored ships noted for an "all-big-gun" design that allowed for great firing range while being well-protected. The term "dreadnought" comes from the first major ship of this design, the 1906 HMS Dreadnought. The word means "fear nothing".
