How to Beat 13-1 The Titanic Duel (Sozin Boss)
Short answer: The current Steam guide says to stay back, jump, and repeat heavy attacks against the high-moving Sozin encounter. Delay the heavy until you are nearer the ground so it reaches lower. Treat this as a player method—not a guaranteed official solution.
The five-step method
- Create space instead of trading directly with the powered-up Sozin encounter.
- Jump while staying far enough back to avoid turning the approach into a close-range exchange.
- Use the heavy attack repeatedly as the opponent moves high enough to be hit.
- Delay the heavy input until your fighter is nearer the ground so the hit reaches lower.
- If the loop fails, reset spacing and timing; do not assume it is guaranteed across characters, difficulty settings, or later patches.
Why the timing note matters
The guide’s only timing adjustment is to delay the heavy input until your character is near the ground. That changes the vertical point where the attack reaches the opponent. Test the spacing and delay separately instead of mashing jump and heavy as one unknown sequence.
Evidence and limitations
It does not specify a universal character, support, difficulty, damage value, invulnerability rule, or patch guarantee. “Perma phoenix Sozin” is the guide author’s wording. Keep the source open and report your character/build if the method no longer works.

FAQ
What is the reported strategy for 13-1 The Titanic Duel?
A current Steam Community guide recommends staying back, jumping, and repeatedly using heavy attacks, with the heavy delayed until nearer the ground so it hits lower.
Who is the opponent?
The Steam guide describes the encounter as “perma phoenix Sozin.” This page keeps that player wording rather than claiming an official mechanic name.
Is the jumping-heavy method guaranteed?
No. It is one short player-reported method and may vary by character, difficulty, controls, positioning, or patch.
What should I change if it misses?
Reset the distance and delay the heavy until nearer the ground. If the opponent no longer stays high enough, use the current command list and a full-run reference rather than forcing the loop.
