Genichiro, Way of Tomoe Boss Guide

Boss List

Strategy

• Defeating Genichiro Ashina is easier if you try to fill up his posture gauge rather than lower his HP.
• Filling up his posture gauge is a quick way to take him out, since most of his attacks can be parried.
• The first chance you have to counter is after his jumping attack. Avoid the move by sidestepping then prepare to attack.

↑ Jump attacks can be avoided by sidestepping. This attack is easy to identify due to its obvious attacking motion.

↑ Since Genichiro is slow to recover from the move, you can land one or two hits.

• After the first attack, he may do two types of offensive moves.

↑ Genichiro holds his blade to the left to telegraph an incoming dangerous attack. Prepare to use the Mikiri Counter.

↑ You can also use Mikiri attack on the dangerous dive attack. This move’s timing can easily be grasped.

↑ Once you counter, you can land one or two strikes.

• Another chance for you to attack is after Genichiro’s giant slash. Go to the left and avoid the strikes in order to counter.

↑ Approach and step to the left. Avoid the wave produced by Genichiro’s blade. He may follow this up with another wave slash. Perform a sidestep again to avoid the attack.

↑ You can attack him from behind after his attack.

• The fourth attack is dangerous sweeping slash.

↑ Avoid this perilous move by jumping. Attack once he is done.
