How to beat Hardy Hands fast
Much like Metal Slimes, Hardy Hands are immune to magic and resistant to physical attacks. The fastest way to defeat them is to hit it with a fewSap Pelletsto decrease its defense and unleash aphysical special attack(slash, impact, or piece) from one of your monsters. Orcs are usually our go-to! Press the R + arrow button to unleash said attack when a gauge is full.
If you don’t have a monster with a non-elemental, physical special move, press the R + arrow down button to unleash Eric or Mia’sWild Side. This will allow you to move faster and hit harder, potentially defeating the Hardy Hand yourself.
You can also trysneak attackingfrom behind while crouching. As long as the Hardy Hand doesn’t notice Erik or Mia coming, the hit they deal will always be a critical one. Hardy Hands have high defenses but very low HP. A few good hits ought to defeat it.
