  • Do your best to parry most of the Samurai General’s attacks. This way, their posture gauge will rise very quickly, opening them up to a deathblow. That said, watch out for their deadly attacks that cannot be dodged or blocked.

  • When your posture stress is high, it is best to retreat and wait for the stress to dissipate. However, the Samurai General will also recuperate his own posture. As such, it is best to be on the offensive once your posture has recovered so that your enemy has less time to recover.
