* '''Weapon spinning charges''' can be countered with both Perfect Guards and Perfect Dodges, though the easiest method is to make the Scout run into an obstacle like (where available) columns, [[Cryonis]] blocks, or in-shrine metal blocks through [[Magnesis]]. In the absence of all of these, the charges can be avoided by keeping a distance from the Scout and running perpendicularly away from their path; | * '''Weapon spinning charges''' can be countered with both Perfect Guards and Perfect Dodges, though the easiest method is to make the Scout run into an obstacle like (where available) columns, [[Cryonis]] blocks, or in-shrine metal blocks through [[Magnesis]].

As such, Link can run circles around the Scout and attack once the Scout shoots its fourth beam. These shots take a longer time to charge than those of [[Guardian Stalker]]s and do not feature a laser pointer. | ||
Because the Scouts have slow response times, they're susceptible to powerful attacks using two-handed weapons (both ground and spinning attacks), so those are the weapons of choice against them. Aside from that, the Scouts are susceptible to bonus attacks using [[Breath of the Wild Ancient and Guardian Weapons|guardian weapons]], having an extra 30% damage with weapons from Scouts, and an extra 50% damage with the weapons from the [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]]. | Because the Scouts have slow response times, they're susceptible to powerful attacks using two-handed weapons (both ground and spinning attacks), so those are the weapons of choice against them.
