These alien enemies are, well, alien, and don't always react how you might think. So here's a guide to battling them!

I'll be focusing on telling you what they can do and strategies that worked for me battling them. This is all data from after they said they made things easier.

7/10/22 update: The official Wiki has updated their guide so I'm putting that info under the research everyone's done.

7/2/23 update: They've removed the Large classification and I know more about how these enemies work so I'm condensing the guide. Aside from the Radioactive Snake, all enemies of the same suffix act pretty much the same.

7/3/22 update: Stun is gone!

Regular Enemies

Beasts and Beings
(Gamma Ray Beast, Gamma Ray Being, Starburst Being)

Abilities: None (used to be able to grab/pound)
Strategy: Charge->Rest->Charge->Grab->Pound/Claw/Kick

Burstlings and Dustlings
(Cluster Dustling, Gamma Burstling, Magnetar Burstling, Neutron Burstling, Solar Dustling, Starburst Dustling)

Abilities: Can Grab and Strangle. Weak to Roar.
Strategy: Roar. If it attacks you through it, Charge->Rest->Charge->Swipe until it Grabs you->Pound is what I do.

Drakes, Drakelings, and Windssrahs
(Cluster Drakeling, Gamma Drake, Interstellar Drake, Neutron Drakeling, Pulsar Drake, Pulsar Windssrah, Starburst Drake, Starburst Windssrah, Stellar Drake, Stellar Drakeling, Stellar Windssrah)

Abilities: Can Bite if not Grappled
Strategy: Charge->Rest->Charge->Grab->Pound/Claw/Kick (I go with Pound usually)

Serpents and Interstellar Snakes

(Comet Serpent, Interstellar Snake, Prismatic Serpent, Radioactive Serpent, Stellar Serpent)
Abilities: Can Grab and Strangle.
Strategy: Charge->Rest->Charge->Rest->Swipe. If they grab you, Strangle to either stun them and do a lot of damage or make them let go.

Radioactive Snake
(Radioactive Snake)(This enemy works uniquely)

Abilities: Bites for 40+ damage if not Grabbed. Extremely resistant to Grab and Pounce. Can Grab and Strangle.
Strategy: Hope it doesn't kill you. I usually do my Charge->Rest->Charge->Grab->Pound/Kick strategy, but if it attacks me between Charges I just try to Grab. It's very resistant but between you trying and it having a chance to grab you, it usually happens. It's also very deadly.

Wyrms
(Pulsar Wyrm, Stellar Wyrm)

Abilities: No special abilities (used to Charge but no longer does)
Strategy: Charge->Rest->Charge->Grab->Pound/Kick

Wyverns
(Comet Wyvern, Interstellar Wyvern, Prismatic Wyvern, Pulsar Wyvern)

Abilities: Weak to Claw.
Strategy: Charge->Grab->Claw. Claw does A LOT to them so these are the easiest opponents, I've found.



Bosses
All bosses work the same way.
(Galactic Drakontos, Interstellar Drakontos, Prismatic Dragon, Prismatic Drakaiva, Pulsar Dragon, Solar Drakaiva, Starburst Dragon, Stellar Drakaiva)

Abilities: Immune to Roar. Immune to Trample. Attacks do more damage.
Strategy: Charge->Rest->Charge->Grab->Pound and hope it works. These guys are very strong.
