BOSS MOVES:
Gyokuto Buff: This is not an attack but affects the fight. It is Okatsu's Guardian Spirit. You can tell it's active when it looks like a talisman is applied and her feet glow. This buff extends the range of her attacks and may make her faster.
Sword Combos:
WITHOUT GYOKUTO:
- Sword Slash
- Iai Quickdraw (charges and slashes quickly)
- Iai Quickdraw with follow-up attack
WITH GYOKUTO:
- Sword Slash with downward kick attack.
- Iai Quickdraw with follow-up attack AND downward kick attack.
- Expect longer range on all sword attacks when Gyokuto is active.
Kunai Throw: Okatsu's ranged attack. She throws a fan of five Kunai that spread out. You will usually only get hit by 1-2. You can usually guard this attack. Beware of multiple throws in a row.
Kick Combo: A close-range attack. Can be one roundhouse kick or up to two sets of kicks ending in a backflip kick. Block these attacks if you have Ki, otherwise dodge away and counter-attack.
Wall-Jump Kick: When Okatsu is close to a wall, she can perform this move. She also adds a downward kick to her sword combos when Gyokuto is active.
