Moveset
| Attack | Description | Type | Parryable? | Media |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pummel |
Unique basic attack 1/2/3. This attack has two variations: Variation one starts with a left-hook. This variation will always end with no follow up attacks. About half of the time on this variation, NR-02 will use Stomp instead of Basic Attack 3. Variation two starts with a right-hook. This variation will always be a normal combo followed up by either an Eradicate or a Heatwave (with a higher chance of Eradicate). |

| Heatwave |
See Heatwave. Occasionally, after finishing its Pummel combo, NR-02 will unleash a jet of fire at the player, dealing light damage and 120 Combustion. This attack can be avoided by dodging for i-frames. |
Magical, Status Effect | ✖ |  |
| Mech Rush |
NR-02 will charge at the nearest player for a few seconds, dealing damage on contact, before stopping and following up with a Stomp attack. This attack will only ever happen after Thermal Fracture, but will sometimes be skipped in favour of going straight to Stomp if players are too close. Players should be mindful of their distance to the boss as staying too close during this attack can be dangerous. You can repeatedly dodge backwards to avoid the attack, assuming you have the stamina to do so. |
Physical | ✖ |  |
| Thermal Fracture |
NR-02 will fire his armament into the ground, creating 5 thermal ruptures that erupt at the player's position, dealing damage and Combustion. NR-02 will then follow up this attack with Mech Rush into a Stomp attack if the player is too far. If the player is too close, NR-02 will only use a Stomp attack. This attack can be avoided by dodging away when the ground beneath you starts to ignite. Dodging directly away from NR-02 to avoid this attack conveniently puts you a safe distance away when NR-02 uses Mech Rush. |
Physical, Status Effect | ✖ |  |
| Stomp |
NR-02 will raise its left leg for a brief second before slamming it into the ground, dealing heavy damage and stunning players in a wide area. This attack can be avoided by dodging for i-frames or backing out of range. This attack will almost always mark the end of a combo and gives you plenty of time for getting hits in and backing away. NR-02 takes roughly 6 seconds from initiating the attack to the start of its next attack. |
Physical | ✖ |  |
| Eradicate |
NR-02 will lower its stance, before lunging at the player, attempting to grab and smash them into the ground. If NR-02 grabs a player, damage dealt increases. This attack can be avoided by dodging away. By dodging to the side you can capitalize on the ~2 seconds of recovery time from this move. |

Movement and Battle Strategy
- This boss is a dodge check. Mistiming your dodge will result in fatal consequences so get those timings down.
- Be mindful of your stamina. Usually, NR-02 will take a break between attack combos, so feel free to get your hits in during these times. However, do not be greedy if you lack the bulk necessary to tank more than a few hits.
- Do not be afraid to block if you are low on stamina and are forced to endure a combo attack.
- NR-02 cannot be Staggered, immobilized or affected by other status effects such as Bleed and Combustion.
- Heavier weapons that do not rely on ripostes for their main source of damage are recommended.
- The Stomp attack is only one tile large. Use this information to safely zone the boss.
- This boss will use Thermal Fracture when you are a certain distance away.
