Yiga Footsoldier

Maren's Tip

Every enemy type has a weakness. Fire enemies melt with ice, ice enemies with fire. Gibdos are vulnerable to fire and lightning — stock those arrows!

Description

A Yiga Clan ninja that disguises itself as a helpless traveler on roads across Hyrule. When approached, it reveals red Yiga robes and attacks with an Eightfold Blade and teleportation. Dropping Mighty Bananas on the ground causes them to pause and stare, creating an attack opening. They teleport short distances to reposition but are vulnerable during the landing animation. Drops Mighty Bananas and the Eightfold Blade — a decent early Fuse material.

Weakness

Banana offering (freezes them), standard melee
