South of Amakane Island is another island where the Violet Court is located. You can reach this island via other methods, but the quickest way is by Waverider. To do that, you must first summon an Electrogranum from a nearby Thunder Sakura Bough which will let you through the thunder barrier encasing the Waverider Waypoint. You can then summon a Waverider and make your way to the Violet Court.

Tip on How to Clear the Violet Court Faster

The Violet Court on higher levels will spawn samurai-looking enemies called Kairagi. These enemies have a special skill that allows them to regain 50% max HP and enter an avenger state which makes them more powerful and allows them to do different attack patterns.

There are usually 2 Kairagi that spawn in a level. The best way to deal with them is to get their health to as low as possible, then round them up together before unleashing an AoE attack that kills them both in one strike. This will prevent one of them from regaining health and reaching avenger state.’
