| === Countering Magic Shield ===
| |
| *'''As of "The Fields" patch, it is no longer possible to destroy the shield with any method. These methods are for the Pre-Hunting Field version.'''
| |
| *Hoakin's shield will always show up first but do not use skills first, wait until he start drinking his potion then activate skills.
| |
| **Skill-ing when he just set up his shield WON'T cancel his healing.
| |
| *Any special active that deals multiple hits can also cancel out his shield.
| |
| **Hitting him when he is skill delayed will very often fail to damage his shield regardless of shield break ability or number of hits.
| |
|
| |
| *These following skills can cancel Hoakin's shield and healing:
| |
| **[[Final Strike]] (Full shield destruction from vortex, even though it does neither hits or damage)
| |
| **[[Aging]] (Full shield destruction with a direct hit)
| |
| **[[Sweep Rolling]] (Full shield destruction)
| |
| **[[Blizzard Shower]] (One layer destroyed per shard?)
| |
| **[[Meteor Shower]] (Mechanics unknown, but usually destroys 2 layers)
| |
| **[[Ignition Crow]] (without overheat, the fire will break the shield)
| |
| **[[Plasma Cutter]] (Destroys 3 Layers through hit count)
| |
| **[[Nuclear]] (Destroys (usually) 2 Layers through hit count)
| |
| **[[Gungnir]] (Destroys 1 Layer through hit count)
| |
| **[[Aero-Strafe]] (Destroys 1 Layer)
| |
| **[[Spear Burst]] (Destroys 1 Layer)
| |
| **[[Atomic Blaster]] (Destroys 1 Layer)
| |
| **[[Generate Black Hole]] (Destroys 1 Layer)
| |
| **[[Code Empress]]'s (Dash) ZZZ Combo (Destroys 2 Layers)
| |
| **[[Code Battle Seraph]]'s (Dash + Jump) XZ Combo when combined with [[Energetic Heart]] and [[Thousand Star]] (Destroys 3 layers through hit count)
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| *In Henir and on Normal Mode the shield has roughly 3 layers and takes a total of 80 hits to destroy completely through hit count.
| |
| **Estimating from this, it takes roughly 27 hits to destroy each layer through sheer number of hits.
| |
| *On Hell Mode the shield has roughly 5 layers (needs more testing).
| |
| *By chaining skill delays, you can effectively demolish this boss with the shield not activating at all (or once).
| |
| **It is best done while he is miniaturized and unable to recover his HP.
