* '''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]].

* '''Stationary spinning beam shots''' produce updraft winds that Link can use to paraglide close to the spinning Scout, being given an opportunity to perform a ground strike. A Perfect Dodge can also be performed; | * '''Stationary spinning beam shots''' produce updraft winds that Link can use to paraglide close to the spinning Scout, being given an opportunity to perform a ground strike.

* '''Stationary beam shots''' can be countered with both Perfect Guards and Perfect Dodges, but they're inaccurate once Link moves perpendicularly away from the attack. As such, Link can run circles around the Scout and attack once the Scout shoots its fourth beam. | * '''Stationary beam shots''' can be countered with both Perfect Guards and Perfect Dodges, but they're inaccurate once Link moves perpendicularly away from the attack.

These shots take a longer time to charge than those of [[Guardian Stalkers]] 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.
