Timing Attacks Perfectly

The majority of his attacks involve a three-hit combo, a two-hit combo, and a hard-hitting charged attack. So, it is better to wait for the small windows between his move-sets, and attack only during the time when he is vulnerable.

Adams’ major moves involve close combat, so having a ranged weapon at your disposal will always yield great results.
