Intro
Wasp is one of the most difficult bosses, her damage return will decrease the player's health when the player makes attacks and her weapon will deal more damage with critical hits.

Fighting Wasp
The Kusarigama is a devastating weapon. Kusarigama's long range can counter Wasp's naginata. It has extremely far reach, and is easy to use. There are a few moves that are appropriate for this type of battle: If Wasp makes attacks to head,its usable to duck and attack her from legs to make her fall. This attack usually will damage Wasp, if she block first strike, She probably will take second strike. Best attack when wasp is fallen, this attack will take so much of her health and if used with double slash attack,it will drop Wasp's hp to much, maybe even to zero. The techniques listed deal the most possible damage of all the attacks.
 * Kusarigama Slash
 * Kusarigama Strong Slash (Forward + Punch)
 * Kusarigama Low Slash (Down + Punch)
 * Kusarigama Double Slash (Punch + Punch)
 * Kusarigama Super Slash (Forward + Punch + Punch)
 * Sweeps (Down + Kick + Kick)

General Tips

 * Do not let her to go near to walls, as she will use her unstoppable perk: flying. If she does get within close proximity, try to dash or roll behind her so that you are in between her and the wall. She will not use flying if she is facing towards the wall
 * Try to fight in Eclipse mode a lot, it will allow player to win Shadow orbs and enchant their equipments
 * Best way to encounter Wasp's damage return is Lifesteal Enchantment.It will allow the player to increase their health and encounter damage return . The player may also prefer enchanting his armor or helm applying Regeneration enchantment.
 * At point-blank range, when Wasp throws/pretends to throw a ranged weapon, quadruple sweeps (performing two instances of double sweeps, one to knock the enemy down, the other to head-hit the enemy) or high kicks (up + kick) are the best choices for disrupting ranged throws. The high-kick is almost guaranteed to score a head hit.
 * Try using as many techniques as possible to increase your style. The higher the mode meter, the faster your character will move.
