Dodofortress cannot be directly attacked using any weapon or skill. Players need to equip "Dodoguard" by which they can reflect the attacks by Dodofortress.

Equipping Dodoguard will bring up a revolving Orb around the player similar to Qiqi's Elemental Skill, which will replace normal attack. Now, triggering a normal attack will reflect the attacks by Dodofortress.

Players need to time their counter to have a "Perfect Return." Otherwise, it will be a "Normal Return." Some Dodofortresses will have a shield that Perfect Returns can only break. The Dodofortress will also increase its attack speed on receiving multiple returns.

Kaboomballs and Shazamfruits

Dodofortress will attack players with two Kaboomballs and Shazamfruits. While Kaboomball has adverse effects, Shazamfruits are pretty helpful. Below mentioned are the types of Kaboomballs that players need to reflect.

Along with Kaboomballs, the Dodofortress will also fire Shazamfruits randomly in between, providing quite supporting abilities. Players need to absorb them to get the corresponding combat effects. Following are the Shazamfruits along with their combat effects:
