Normal Living Armor
The standard version of Living Armor is far from weak. It employs two attack patterns, each comprised of deadly diagonal sword slashes.
First Combo: A diagonal slash from high-left to low-right (from the monster's point of view), followed by a mirrored slash from high-right to low-left.
Second Combo: Begins with a high-right to low-left slash, then a high-left to low-right, and finishes with another high-right to low-left attack.
