6. Balder - Bayonetta 2

Throughout Bayonetta 2, the ridiculously over-sexualised titular character constantly clashes with the angel, Balder. As Balder grows weary of Bayonetta's interference, he decides to end her life once and for all.

He has ridiculous combos, lethal charging attacks, and can launch a dozen blades at the player with no warning. You have to constantly move during the brawl since he can summon lighting and swords from the Heavens that lock onto your position.

Due to Balder's enormous peacock-like wings, he looks much bigger than he is. However, hitting his wings causes no damage. You can only hurt Balder by striking him directly, which is tricky since he is so small compared to his wings.

As he spins around the room at dizzying speed, it's impossible to pinpoint his position, forcing the player to shoot and slash aimlessly, hoping some attacks land.

Since he can fly, the player will be forced to take most of the fight to the air, making it harder to perform effective combos. Although angels have a reputation for forgiveness, Balder will show no mercy whatsoever during this epic confrontation.
