An Introduction to Madame Butterfly and Her Deadly Kisses
Madame Butterfly is an iconic infernal demon ally that Bayonetta can summon during witch time. With an imposingly large wingspan and corrosive love powder, Madame Butterfly devastates groups of enemies with her signature kiss attack.
As a Bayonetta master with over 200 hours played across the series, I find Madame Butterfly to be one of the most useful and satisfying techniques to employ in the heat of battle. Her kiss combo provides excellent crowd control and racking up high combo scores.
Madame Butterfly‘s Kiss Attack Stats:
- Damage Per Kiss: 120-200 (scaling with combo score)
- Enemies Hit Per Kiss: Up to 15
- Max Kisses Per Summon: 8-10
- Average Damage Per Summon: 1600-2000
To summon this butterfly of doom, activate Witch Time by dodging at the perfect moment then immediately press ZL to call Madame Butterfly. She‘ll arrive atop Bayonetta‘s head, ready for your command.
Now let‘s examine exactly when and how to unleash Madame Butterfly‘s deadly kisses.
When to Use the Kiss Combo for Maximum Impact
Madame Butterfly‘s kiss is extremely effective against large groups of enemies, especially lower health minions that swarm the player. Here are the prime scenarios to consider activating her smooch barrage:
- Swarmed by small enemies like Applauds, Joys, or Insidious
- Facing groups of aerial enemies like Beloveds and Inspired
- Surrounded by close-quarter fighters like Valiance or Accolades
- Low on health and need to avoid direct combat
- Building up high combo score for points/items
- Battling larger bosses with intermittent adds
- Enemies concentrated in tight arena spaces
I like to save my witch time dodges just before massive enemy waves and then bring in Madame Butterfly‘s punishing kisses to clear out the horde.
Against lone angels like Grace & Glory, I rely more on close-quarters fists and feet damage. But Madame Butterfly shines when you‘re outnumbered, buying you time and racking up the combo meter.
How to Execute the Kiss Attack Combo
Now, let‘s break down how to perform Madame Butterfly‘s kiss step-by-step:
-
Initiate Witch Time by perfectly evading an attack at the last possible moment.
-
Immediately press ZL to summon Madame Butterfly during the slow-motion bullet time.
-
Position Bayonetta so that Madame Butterfly floats between you and the enemies.
-
Press R to command Madame Butterfly to blow a deadly kiss.
-
The giant kiss will burst into smaller projectiles hitting enemies within range.
-
Continue pressing R whenever you want Madame Butterfly to blow another kiss.
-
Dodge enemy attacks while her kisses unleash damage.
-
Resummon Madame Butterfly by using Witch Time again once her duration expires.
Proper timing on your witch time dodges is crucial to maximize Madame Butterfly‘s assistance. With skillful evasion, you can summon her repeatedly to dish out devastating damage across hordes of foes.
Advanced Kiss Attack Tips and Synergies
As you master Madame Butterfly‘s combos, consider these advanced tips to amplify her kiss barrage:
-
Use Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa‘s witch time extension to prolong Madame Butterfly summons.
-
Combine kisses with Kilgore‘s portals to inflict massive area damage.
-
Equip Pulley‘s Butterfly to increase kiss projectiles per attack.
-
Save MP for Witch Time instead of spending it on techniques.
-
Let Madame Butterfly focus on crowds while you target larger threats.
-
Take Jeanne‘s advice: "If you‘re going to blow a kiss, make it count!"
-
Play defensively and keep distance when Madame is blowing kisses.
-
Use Stage Select to practice kiss combos before trying in harder difficulties.
I love combining Madame Butterfly‘s area-of-effect damage with Kilgore‘s portals to absolutely devastate groups. The kiss barrage softens them up while the portals finish them off in style!
Kiss Attack Challenges and Rewards
Executing Madame Butterfly‘s combos are often tied to Bayonetta 3‘s verse challenges. For example, Chapter 2 Verse 3 tasks you with blowing 3 kisses to complete it and unlock rewards.
Chapter 2 Verse 3 Rewards:
- 1,000,000 Halos
- 5 Umbran Tears of Blood
- Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa Accessory
This is a simple way to earn fast cash along with a useful accessory for extending witch time! Other challenges require more complex kiss combos, so master the basics first.
I‘d recommend replaying earlier levels to grind out halo/item rewards from these kiss combo challenges. The skills you gain will prove invaluable in later, more difficult enemy encounters.
Conclusion: Pucker Up to Punish Your Foes
That covers everything you need to know to master Madame Butterfly‘s devastating kiss attack! Proper timing, positioning, and combos will allow you to decimate hordes of foes in Bayonetta 3 will show-stopping style.
As an expert Bayonetta player, I highly recommend investing time to learn this technique. Unlocking its potential will turn the tides of battle in your favor when the fighting gets fierce. Just remember dear Jeanne’s advice: make it count!
So pucker up, strike a deadly pose, and unleash Madame Butterfly’s punishing kisses to waltz your way through the chaotic battles of Bayonetta 3!
