Super Attack

 * Finnegan does a weaker version Aruto's Standard Musou Attack, but he can slash up to 5 times in a single combo. Standard Super Attack does not inflict a heavy of damage to the player unlike Musou Attack counterparts and it has no invincibility, hence being easy to interrupt from Burst Attacks or sometimes Deadlock from other Musou Attacks. He'll perform this attack when Finnegan's HP drop to 30% and he only performed once per battle.

Strategy
Much like the enemy officer, fighting against Finnegan fairly easy even your character is LV50 or higher. However, he is toughest character boss due to his higher HP of 5000000 if on Hard Difficulty (10000000 HP on Chaos difficulty). Despite uses his only regular attacks, his moves are similar to Aruto's; but he has a high damaging attacks which can inflict 50K or 70K damage to the player on hard difficulty (on Chaos Difficulty, his attacks can inflict up to 100+K damage) and almost easily kills the weak playable characters if not careful. His Cyclone Slash is a huge threat for players and ally officers alike if you fighting Finnegan from the distance in Chaos Difficulty.

However, his weakest point lies with a lack of the ability of aerial regains, counterattacks or retaliates, making him extremely vulnerable to Air Combo attacks and lead him a endless air/juggle until he was defeated. As he knocked down on the ground, he will wake up for 15 seconds; so the player to take a strike before he wake ups or you can use the Skill Attacks with OTG Relaunch like Alice Magnet or Storm Rush Stance attacks to make Finnegan a knockdown delay even longer without his retaliating attacks. Players' Musou Attacks can inflict heavy damage to Finnegan whooping of 100+k or 200+k damage, making it useful for finishing Finnegan off or inflicting massive damage by stripping down his HP faster by equipping weapons with higher "Slash" and "Landscaping" level Attribute.

As he low health, his regular slashing speed including his Skill Attacks are much faster and as in Chaos Difficulty, his Triple Slash skill attack and Super Attack has a two more additional slashes with more damaging which make him more dangerous and deadly on Chaos Difficulty.

As fighting Finnegan, there are multiple choices: Keep these tactics up until he defeated.
 * Using the same tactics like against other enemy officers with Air Combos.
 * Playing as other characters in Free Mode, use the air combo juggling method on Finnegan due to his weakness as mentioned above.
