Game homePhantom Blade ZeroAll gamesCold iron chains bind the Crusher’s feet, while a massive hammer is chained to his hand. One arm and leg are thick with muscle, while the other pair are withered and frail. Born with this uneven body and stubborn by nature, he trained only his stronger side, becoming more fearsome with each passing year. Most who see him are too intimidated to notice the faceless creature perched on his shoulders. That creature is the Saw. Riding on the Crusher’s neck, he repeatedly cuts into his flesh with a bone saw, using the pain to drive him into a frenzy and send him charging at his enemies without restraint. All the while, the Saw’s shrill, manic laughter rings out, chilling anyone who hears it before the fight even begins. The Crusher, however, only grows more ferocious with every laugh.
Dodge the close-range grab. When the enemy reaches or lunges, move out of its path. One combo continues after the blue strike. Perfect-block it, then read the next hit before countering. This enemy can punish charging. Start a charged heavy attack during its recovery. The enemy can counter ranged attacks. If it answers your first shot, reposition and fire after its next miss.
