Stop attacking during Riposte; bullets can trigger it too. Attack after it ends, keeping room to dodge Flawless Advance. Then throw Consecrating Grenade at the enemy when you can follow its reduced healing with pressure. Use Gutshot toward a nearby wall when that gives you a safe stun.
Attack Apollo with a teammate from separate positions so one Itani Lo Sahn cannot catch both of you. Keep your strongest attack for after Riposte ends, and avoid following Disengaging Sigil into his teammates.
Move out of Itani Lo Sahn’s path during its wind-up. Apollo is invulnerable during the slash sequence; when it ends, protect the affected ally and attack him together. After the slash sequence ends, throw Consecrating Grenade at Apollo, then fire Ira Domini from beside cover when the firing line is clear. Blessed stakes can execute low-health enemies.
