Furiisone of the best boss rush gamesthat anyone can check out. The game combines elements from bullet hell games and close-quarters combat to let players enjoy a truly amazing experience that never ceases to be entertaining. It might take a while for players to get used to the movement of The Rider, but it’s only a matter of time before they start dodging and parrying like a pro.
While players initially only have access to the regularFurimode and the easier Promenade Mode, completing the game’s first run in its normal mode unlocks Furier mode. Here,bosses are more fierceand have new movesets as well, which is pretty entertaining indeed. This mode might seem daunting, but the following tips will ensure that players can get through this phase with ease too.
8Change Control Schemes To Perform Multiple Actions At Once
The default control scheme ofFuriis decent enough, but players will quickly realize that it’s not the optimal way to playFuri. Multitasking is important to get throughmost of the bossesin Furier mode, and sticking to one action at a time will lead to a ton of frustration.

The simplest way that players can make their game easier is to try out different control schemes that let them perform multiple actions at the same time. If players are unclear about what this means, then keep on reading.
7Try Dodging While Charging An Attack
One of the best ways to maximize damage inFuriis by charging up an attack andunleashing it on a boss. This will hot them for a ton of damage and also leave them vulnerable for a counterattack. However, this is easier said than done, especially since The Rider is pretty much a sitting duck when he’s charging up this attack.
However, The Rider can still dodge around while he’s charging an attack. By changing the control scheme, the player can charge up an attack while dodging the boss' moves to unleash this powerful move with ease…after a bit of practice, that is.
6Parry & Shoot At The Same Time
Another combination of moves involves shooting while parrying an enemy’s melee attack. While this can only be accomplished in the ranged phase, it’s still a great way to maximize the overall damage thatplayers can inflict on a boss.

It also makes the player feel great as they shoot the boss in the face while also negating the damage from their attacks. This combination of parrying and shooting is something that players should definitely learn to get them through the challenging bullet hell segments of these bosses inFuri.
5Bosses Will Avoid Full Combos, So Try A Half-Charged Attack
The Rider’s traditional 4-hit combo is a great way to incapacitate enemies inFuri. Itleaves these bosses vulnerableand allows players to gain some composure before dealing with the next wave of attacks. However, in Furier Mode, bosses are way faster and won’t be caught sitting around as players unleash this combo. They’ll dodge the last hit and start up with an attack of their own, forcing the player to quickly start parrying and/or dodging these attacks once again.
So instead of this classic 4-hit combo, there’s a way to dish out damage that is way more effective. The player shouldhit the boss twice normally, before charging and unleashing a third hit that’s charged.It deals more damage and lets players deal with these close-quarter segments more efficiently.
4Shoot Vulnerable Enemies Before Initiating Counterattack
Landing a charged attack or a perfect parry is one of the most satisfying moves players can pull off inFuri. It leaves a boss completely open for a quick and cinematic move that can be pretty epic indeed.
Most people would want to unleash this attack as soon as possible in Furier Mode too. However, keep in mind thatthese bosses stay in this vulnerable statefor quite some time and take damage during this phase as well. A better course of action would be to pepper them with a few bullets before initiating this attack, to deal the most damage possible.
3Sneak In A Charge Boost When The Enemy Is Knocked Down
During close-quarters combat, players can perform a Boost Charge that lets their next attack hit for an immense amount of damage. However, The Rider is extremely vulnerable while performing this move, which can turn them into mincemeat if the boss decides to attack at that point.

It’s important for the boss to be knocked down before initiating this move. It’s the perfect time to charge up a powerful attack, and trying to employ it in any other instance is just a one-way ticket to failure.
2Use A Controller Rather Than A Keyboard
This is a pretty obvious tip, and something the game recommends from the get-go as well. However, most would be surprised at the sheer number of people who still use a keyboard to playFuri.
While a regular playthrough might still be doable, bosses will absolutely beat players into a pulp if they try using a keyboard to play this game in Furier Mode.Furiwas meant to be played with a controller, as opposed to struggling with a keyboard.
1Parry Projectiles, Even Ones That Can’t Be Harmed With Bullets
Parrying is one of the most important skills to learn inFuri, especially since it lets The Rider regenerate precious health as well. However, a boss' melee strikes aren’t the only thing that can be parried.
Enemy projectiles can also be parried to dish out some insulting damage. This includes projectiles that can’t be harmed with regular bullets, allowing The Rider to phase through them with ease.
Furiis available to play on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation 5.
