Phantom Dust/Qualification Exams


 * Message: This last exam is a battle against me (Meister). Winning or losing is not the point; rather, how you use your skills is.  Be prepared!
 * Mission: Win the battle.
 * Opponent(s): Freia

The mission starts out with a movie sequence. Meister is attacked and his arm is broken by a woman who has been following you. She gives you a choice: stay underground or stay above and die. Being the courageous protagonist that you are you don't back down.

Freia's Strategy
Freia will not actively pursue you. Meaning, she just stands there waiting for you to come to her. She'll immediately start off using Triple Lasers and use it almost constantly while you're in long range. I wouldn't advise hiding behind objects unless you know they're indestructible. Also, be careful of falling debris. Once you get to medium range she will still say put, but she may fire Blaster every now and then. At close range she will most likely teleport to a different location (she only teleports to two different spots). She also teleports after she gets hurt. She has one defensive skill (Change Course) that cannot be destroyed.

Your Strategy
Right off the bat she'll start using Triple Lasers so get behind the stairs quickly. Grab any of your orbs but hang on to Wall of Fire or Wall. They're the only things that won't be destroyed by her Blaster. You'll have a wide range of offensive skills but you should stick with Bullet of Fire. You can use Bullet of Fire almost three times in a row and you can use it with a block back-to-back. Stay within mid-range, just out of long range. Unless you neglect your defenses she won't be any trouble.
