Summary

Waka is an early-game unique enemy fought in Agata and Cursed Taka. He fights with two swords, one of which he will sometimes throw. He has no invincibility to attacks, and is highly vulnerable to Steel Fist Sake Cherry Bombs.

Strategy

Agata Forest (Waka 1)

Waka is first encountered in Agata immediately after Blooming the Guardian Sapling. This fight can be skipped in most categories via Waka 1 Skip. He spawns in a random location in the battle arena.

NG+

With the String of Beads, Waka 1 can be defeated in a single hit from your sub-rosary.

NG

Waka 1 can be defeated by immediately using a Steel Fist Sake (SFS) and then hitting Waka with 3 Cherry Bombs (CBs). Generally, it's best to draw them in front of Waka so that he floats into them as he moves towards Ammy. If you approach Waka to push the CB into him while he is floating, there is a chance he will leap to the side. CBs will also detonate if Waka throws his sword into them.

Because of the water in the fight arena and Waka's evasive moves, it's not uncommon for a CB to miss, in which case you may have to upgrade ink (if praise is available) to draw more CBs quickly.
