Fishman (Cleaver) ❘ 漁村の住人

Regular Enemy

Description

  • Fishmen are the most common enemy type encountered in the Fishing Hamlet. While they use a variety of different makeshift weapons, most behave in more or less the same way - their movements and attacks are slow, but they are protected by super armor during their evasive steps and sometimes make deliberate efforts to attack in groups. Each subtype is equipped to support the others in battle and in certain cases they will work together to spring elaborate ambushes; these typically consist of a firebomb-throwing Fishman who will detonate a cluster of explosive-packed fishing buoys as you approach, followed immediately thereafter with a charge by a group of Fishmen, Fish Dogs and Giant Fishmen with melee weapons. While they can be quite dangerous in groups, these enemies are individually quite weak and pose relatively little threat as long as you take care to pick them off one by one. When entering a new area, survey the space ahead of you carefully to determine potential hiding places and traps; if you spot even a single Fishman closing in on you, retreat to a section you've already cleared and lure the target toward you by itself rather than advancing into the open where you'll likely be set upon by several more.

Overview

  • This uncommon variant of the Fishing Hamlet's basic enemy type uses heavy cleaver attacks and a fairly swift running grab. They can perform combos of up to four hits but will usually use slower individual swings or their grab outside of extremely close range. Though predictable and easy to interrupt, their attacks hit hard and have a significant knockback effect. Like other enemies of this family, they are weak against arcane damage and stunlocks in addition to suffering from low mobility.

Strategy

  • Interrupts are more worthwhile against these enemies than most of the other Fishmen due to their higher HP so stay just outside their melee range and bait one of their individual swings or combos. Do not attempt to interrupt their grab; although possible, doing so is extremely risky as their erratic movements during this attack will frequently cause bullets to miss and can result in the grab connecting even if the shot is correctly timed. Quickstepping past them through one of their melee attacks and stunlocking them with an (R1) chain is still a viable strategy as well, though they tend to be encountered in enclosed spaces where room to maneuver is limited.

Notes

  • This Enemy is part of The Old Hunters DLC.
  • All enemies and bosses (except hunter enemies) have 999 frenzy resistance, despite that they are still vulnerable to such status. The only way to see it without modding is to use Shaman Bone Blade on enemy inflicting frenzy to attack others. [test video]
  • During Fishman (Cleaver) grab attack animation, damage can NOT be reduced by repeatedly pressing buttons (mashing).
