Nihil’s Attacks

First off, there arethree attacksNihil can do.One is a projectile attack, where he shoots it out of his forehead directly at you. This attackslows you down to a stop, making it easier for his other moves to hit you, so be careful.

The other two are attacks wherehe swings his sword, Vitrica, at you. There is asweep attack, which you can jump over, and anoverhead slam, which destroys the platforms it hits. Both of these attacks areone-shot kills, no matter how strong you are, and so you’ll need to be wary of which platforms are left, to know which you can escape to.
