Strategy

Mezu utilizes ranged attacks and quick dashes to fight Lo Wang. He also can use an AOE ground smash after which his spear becomes stuck and open to attacks. Mezu is the only boss that doesn't persa have a weakness. His weakness is the fact that his hitbox (armor) is really easy to hit, since it's his body plate and than his wings, both of which is easy to hit. A good strategy is the moment after multiple seals need to be broken which means that Mezu wings become the next spot needed to hit and then land 3 rockets into his wing as he lands.
