[edit] Meister's Strategy

Meister's arsenal is made of Nature and Psycho skills. These include, but are not limited to:

Bullet of Fire		Crystal Wall		Flame Sword		Piece of Fire
Reverse		Rock Shot		Wall of Fire

Meister's attacks are mostly mid-range and unlimited use. Meister will prefer his ranged attacks but he will come at you with Flame Sword if that is all he has left or if you advance on him. His arsenal is also very defensive. You'll rarely see him with more than two attack skills at once. He's good at blocking short attacks and he'll often use Reverse and throw ranged attacks back at you. None of his attacks have any secondary effects.

[edit] Your Strategy

At this stage players can choose their own set of skills. Therefore, there may be many different strategies.

[edit] Defend & Erase Strategy

Meister's attacks are not very strong, 4 damage at most, so most defensive skills will hold up. If your level is low or you don't have a defensive skill ready just stand on the ledge in front of your start point. When Meister attacks just step off the edge and they'll hit the ledge instead of you. Rock Shot can sometimes make it over the ledge and still hit you so don't rely on this technique. Use Vacuum Wall or a similar defensive skill to erase his attacks. He can use Reverse to shoot erase skills back at you so don't think they're equally effective. Once he is without any attacks go at him with close attacks. He may block 3 out of 4 attacks so be patient. Alternatively, you can bring along capsule erase skills and destroy what he has left. Then watch his life slowly fade away.
