To clear your first ending in Absolum by defeating Sun King Azra with Brome, prioritize short attack bursts and central arena control over continuous combos. Brome's agility allows you to reposition quickly between Azra's melee lunges and bullet-hell projectile spreads, but reckless aggression will exhaust your stamina and leave you vulnerable.
Baiting Azra's Attacks and Executing Punishes
Azra alternates between high-velocity projectile patterns and heavy melee attacks. To damage him safely, force him into predictable animations and strike during his recovery windows:
- Bait Melee Lunges: Position Brome just outside Azra's attack range during his aggressive phase. This induces him to commit to a forward lunge, leaving him stationary for a few seconds so you can land a counter-attack.
- Wait Out Solar Bursts: When Azra begins his charge animation for a solar burst, do not try to interrupt him. Use this startup window to dash behind him or clear lingering projectiles, then attack immediately after the burst animation completes.
- Limit Combo Length: Cap attack strings at two or three hits before disengaging back to neutral position. Overcommitting exposes Brome to sudden area-of-effect bursts.
Managing Stamina and Arena Positioning
Maintaining stamina and screen real estate is essential for surviving Azra's later phases when projectile patterns intensify.
| Combat Requirement | Optimal Action | Failure Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Movement Technique | Use dash-canceling for short positioning bursts; reserve dashes for direct projectile dodges | Exhausted stamina leaves Brome unable to evade follow-up strikes |
| Stamina Recovery | Walk during gaps between boss attack cycles to stay above 50% stamina | Zero stamina converts Brome into an immobile target during bullet-hell sequences |
| Arena Placement | Lure Azra toward the center of the stage to preserve 360 degrees of evasion space | Getting trapped against screen boundaries eliminates dodge routes |
If Azra pushes you into an arena corner, dash through the boss as he approaches or use Brome's abilities to reclaim central positioning before continuing your offense.
