In the spirit of exploration and out of reach places, the ice plasma type for your Cypher blade can be used to
freeze the helicopter
enemies, allowing you to use them as platforms to get to
areas of the map you normally wouldn't be able to reach.
It's necessary to form huge combos
in order to bring down many of the bosses, but it's also fun to do because it looks badass — kill all of the
enemies in the
area quickly enough, and you're granted a short cutscene of Hotsuma posing before all of them,
in a
frozen state of death, falling apart and collapsing
in a mess of blood and otherworldly goo.
