Step 1: Prepare to counterattack at all times.

If you fail to send the canister to Slade, he will start shooting at you with his gun, so try to send the canisters back as much as you can. , When Slade’s HP reaches a certain low point, he'll once again throw a smoke pellet and attack you. , This time, Batman will take Slade's staff and break it in half.
In retaliation, Slade will now use his sword. , Attack Slade first when you get the chance, but be on your guard for possible counters.
Slade will deal a lot of damage to you with that blade, so be careful. , Other than Slade changing combos and a much more dangerous weapon, the overall feel of the battle won’t change so much, so just continue to counter him while occasionally attacking him yourself. , Once you drop Slade’s health low enough, he'll drop another smoke pellet and attack you with his blade.
Counter like you did with the staff. , You'll damage Slade enough to end the battle.
