Offensive Strategy
Bait the monster’s attacks only to dodge it and wait for the move to finish. There is a window of opportunity where you can get in a couple of quick attacks before repeating.
If you have a ranged weapon, it will be easier to shoot projectiles and kill the monster. Use the Glintsword Arch to deplete their health.
Use the Reduvia Blood Blade that can cause Hemorrhage damage and quickly take out your enemy.
Defensive Strategy
It is important to know the pattern of his attacks so you can defeat him quickly. Its Sword Poke attack covers a lot of space so make sure to keep your distance and always be moving. Parrying is a useful skill to learn.
Many Armed Key Master uses a Scream attack that will build up your Madness level. This does not deal damage, but you should avoid this by dodging to the side.
Most of their attacks can be dodged so you don’t take any damage. Use a shield to block any incoming backs and use the offensive strategies to win the boss battle.
