Damage Routes:

Mecha Monkey: Charge, roll, charge, roll, charge, roll
Blocking Bots: Roll x5
Golden Knight: Charge x6
Giant Laser: Charge x4
Packing Robot: Sword x16 (NOT projectile, and using roll/charge is very unreliable)
General: Charge x5, sword (Projectile is fine)
Caterpillar: Roll x infinity
Snake Rider: Charge x4
Laser Doors: Roll, charge, roll
Turrets: Charge, roll, roll
General's Robot: Charge, charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll, charge
Cat's Head: Charge, roll, charge, roll, charge, roll (Phase 2 is erratic, just use whatever hits, mostly rolls)
Desert Worm: Not consistent. Optimal is Charge, roll, charge, roll, charge, roll, charge, roll, charge, roll, but you just have to hit this boss however you can. Try not to land sword hits.
Elephant: Roll, roll, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll
Axel Gear: Not consistent. Optimal is Charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll, charge, roll, roll.
Daileon: Who cares
Axel Gear Boxing: This fight works differently, and the damage values for the punches are very variable. Axel can be killed in as few as 11 hits by missing left jabs and immediately hitting with a right straight, so in other words by using one-two punches. A two-punch will deal up to 20 damage, depending on how closely it follows a missed punch. Just try to get good at the fight, this one is HARD to play well.
Weird Wolf: Charge, charge, roll, charge, roll, roll (Use charges if he's too high to roll into)
Diamonds: Charge hit on each one as the fight begins, then 5 rolls each as they come back around. This fight is very difficult due to lag.
Generalissimo Lioness: Not consistent. Sword is the preferred weapon (NOT projectile). You can generally land two roll attacks per hit you take yourself, and you can take 6 hits from full health without dying, so up to 60 damage from roll attacks. Optimal in this case, assuming no accidental hits, is Sword x17, followed by 2 roll attacks per hit taken. MUST be played carefully, with full awareness of Lioness' remaining HP.
Ultimate Weapon: Roll as often as possible, use charge when you would otherwise enter Exhaustion, you want to damage boost periodically to reset the Exhaustion meter.
