Monsoonis a part of the Desperados PMC and holds a relatively high rank. He is personally interested in Darwinism and its application to humanity. To him, peace is a force that stiffles the ability of the strong to cull the weak from society. For this reason, he's working with Desperado to end peace.
Combat
Monsoon is a tricky opponent just because he can move around quite a bit and can completely avoid some of your attacks.His normal phase sees him using a variety of attacks but most of them normal. He'll run around the area and attack from different angles. You can hit him at this point and counter his attacks when he's fighting. After dealing a certain amount of damage, he'll begin a certain sequence that starts with a techniques is to obscure everything in fog and then come at you from different angles. You'll only have a split second to react and figure out where he's going to hit you from next. When he appears, push in that direction and go for the parry. You'll almost always try to counter but never connect just because of the small window.
After this fog sequence, he'll get atop something and start throwing objects. If it's a bunch of individual objects, enter Blade Mode and start swinging away (I just used the Light and Heavy Attack buttons while moving the camera arround) and be sure to grab the various items and health dropped by the objects.. Sometimes, however, he'll pick up a large mass of different things squished together. He'll put these down in front of him and then send it at you before calling it back. This has to be avoided repeatedly. The best thing to do is to run circles near the back middle of the area and then just keep going in whatever direction you were going once it starts to move.
After he does something like this, he'll start glowing purple and start attacking you. He'll throw his Sai at you from a distance but if you get in close he'll just perform normal attacks. You can't hit him with normal attacks so you'll have to get close and perform a counter attack. Counter an attack, hit him once or twice more and then you'll be set up for Blade Mode. Enter Blade Mode and you'll see a target appear at the top of his helmet. Hit that spot to end his relative invulnerability. With the sequence ended, he'll return to normal combat.
He'll begin his special attack routine when you put him below 70%, 50%, 40%, 20%, and 10%. After his 10% sequence, he'll pick up a large pointed monument and then throw it at you. Instead of cutting it, you want to
- activate Ninja Run to run up it.
- At the end of it, you'll need to cut through a large beam
- finally you'll strike Monsoon by hitting Heavy Attack and Activate.
