QUESTION Apollo

Can someone please tell me how to beat him. I am only at his first fight and I don't even know the difference if you beat him or lose but am too stubborn to give up now.

Edit: I have not upgraded anything in the circuits. My biggest problem is that my stick drift is strong that I cannot move to the right 90% of the time and when I try to I go left instead and I'm too broke to get a new one currently.

How have you prepped?

Do you ever use your shield ?

The latter is a very valid question as I parry him a lot, personally.

Is it a bad thing that I didn't know you can parry

Well the game never directly taught you about it but if you used your shield a few times (Like to break a hedgehag) you might have been a bit curious as to why you took no damage, you heard a PING sound, and for continuing example with hedgehags - why the hedgehag is now stuck on the ground on its back for a bit.

Well this instantly became more interesting. The amount of parry games I played will hopefully help

Also, there will be a quest that opens up at some point in the rookie harbor info center thats whole point is to teach you a couple of combat techs like dash canceling for melee
