How Cemetery Shade fights

At Caelid · Caelid Catacombs, its toughest placement: 1,467 HP.

Attacks the game's own

The attacks it picks on its own, most used first. Damage is the attack power of its strongest hit at this placement, before your defense and negation.

Parry: whether a parry works on it (for combos, which hits). Block: whether a shield stops it; grabs go through.
