Blade Attacking Tips:
 * Pierce/Short Blades: This is the quickest way to kill a Vajra. Attack the hind legs and the torso for maximum damage. Consistently attacking the hind legs will allow you to inflict Down on Vajra. Paige sword works the best.
 * Sunder/Long Blades: Your primary target should be the front legs and the tail. Impulse Edge is also effective on the head, use it whenever you get a chance. Unbounding the front legs, head and tail will make your sunder attacks even more powerful. Consistently attacking the front legs will allow you to inflict Down on Vajra.
 * Crush/Buster Blades: Most difficult way to kill a Vajra as the head is the only part that is weak to crush attacks. The only chance to use Charge Crush is when Vajra is inflicted with Down, Hold or is flinching. Consistently attacking the head will make the Vajra flinch.
 * Elemental: Vajra is most weak to divine blade attacks but using blaze and freeze attributes are also effective.

Gun Attacking Tips:
 * Pierce/Assault and Sniper Gun: The best type of bullets to use against a Vajra. Aim for its torso and hind legs to optimize your damage output. High piercing bullets are also effective, shoot the head and let the bullet pierce through the Vajra's torso and hind legs as this will guarantee you to inflict Stagger. Consistently shooting the hind legs will allow you to inflict Down on Vajra.
 * Crush/Blast Gun: Worst type of bullet to use against a Vajra as its head is the only part that is weak to crush attacks. Use homing or pseudo homing bombs or radials as these will automatically target the head when properly aimed. Vajra's own Aragami bullets are also effective against its head.
 * Elemental: Vajra is most weak to divine bullets but using blaze and freeze attributes are also effective.
