  • Dodge to the right and unleash your own attacks
  • When you stagger ALLMIND, boost in close and attack with your high DPS weapons
  • Use the Assault Armor expansion for impact damage and shotgun blasts to stagger

Phase 2:

  • Stick to an agile build like Biped or Reverse Joint for better mobility
  • ALLMIND shifts into a more powerful AC with new moves
  • Stay close and use constant impact damage from your shoulder cannons
  • Quickly stagger ALLMIND with the Assault Boost and Boost Kick combo, then attack with Redshift and Zimmerman
  • Watch out for charged melee swipes and Laser Lance attacks
  • Dodge and avoid these moves
