How to Beat Han Cunningham

Duel Strategy

Heal Yourself Before Fighting Han

Since you would've fought Lucia and pushed through groups of Highland troops before fighting Han, it's a good idea to heal the Hero before facing Han - who is waiting for you at the door to the rest of the castle anyway.

Anticipate His Special Attacks

Suikoden 2 - Han Cunningham Special Attack

Just like other duels, the quickest and safest way to win here is to anticipate when Han will do a Special Attack and use Defend. This way, you will deal heavy damage to him while not receiving any damage on your end.

Dueling Tips

Duel Weaknesses
Attack If your enemy is defending himself, this move deals damage. But if you Attack while your enemy does a Special Attack, you will lose a huge amount of HP.
Defend If your enemy is doing a Special Attack, your character will not receive any damage and the attacker will get damaged instead.
Special Attack If you do a Special Attack while your enemy is about to do an Attack, it will deal a huge amount of damage. If your enemy is defending, however, you will get damaged instead.

Duel battles rely on the duel triangle seen above. Attack beats Defense, Defense beats Special Attack, and Special Attack beats Attack. Players will win duel battles by predicting your enemy's actions and counteracting them.
