Strategy[]
The Dark Crusader's weakest affinity is to Air and Piercing, so casting Luft Fusion on a Piercing-type weapon helps to increase chances of inflicting damage. The Abdomen and Legs are the weakest spots. Chain attacks are not effective. Dark Crusader often uses Drain Heart to sap health from Ashley.
