How to defeat Lightning Jump Attacker in Throne and Liberty (attack patterns and best strategies)

At the start of the fight go to the red device and transfer the ray to the middle device, then to the blue device. This generates a shield that protects your character when the Lightning Jump Attacker arrives.

The Lightning Jump Attacker will occasionally disappear and prepare an unblockable AoE attack. This is when the same devices will spawn again, and you must repeat the process of transferring the ray to generate another shield. Without the shield, the AoE attack inflicts massive damage that can easily end the fight.

Lightning Jump Attacker’s attack patterns

Normal attacks

• The Lightning Jump Attacker uses basic stomp and punch attacks, which are slow and deal moderate damage. These can be blocked or avoided with basic defensive skills.

Lightning Stomp

• A thunderous stomp that deals AoE damage and summons lightning bolts. The AoE damage can be parried using a well-timed Defensive skill, while the lightning bolts can be avoided by staying clear of their path. The lightning bolts themselves don’t deal damage but can stun, so it’s important to stay mobile.

Lightning Crash

• The Lightning Jump Attacker disappears for a few seconds, summons lightning bolts across the arena, then reappears in the middle with a shockwave that deals significant damage. This attack is unblockable, and your only defense is to complete the energy transfer from the red device to the blue device to generate a protective shield.

Lightning Punches

• When you move too far away from the boss, he slams his fists into the ground, causing a lightning punch AoE effect that damages the entire arena. This attack is unavoidable, so it’s best to stay close to avoid triggering it.

The Lightning Jump Attacker is most dangerous when given room to execute his lightning punch attacks, so stick close and use melee weapon builds like a Greatsword, Sword, and Shield build that dish out a lot of damage from a close range and offer sustain. This keeps him focused on basic attacks, which are easier to parry or block.

Another great set of weapons for this fight is the Dagger and Crossbow. This build offers a lot of mobility as well as mid-range abilities that are quite effective in this fight.
