Tips
- Okatsu is extremely agile and moves quickly, launching combos and trying to disengage.
- You can punish her attacks after she performs them, taking advantage of her low Ki.
- Nail down the range of her attacks to bait them out and punish her afterwards.
- Buff up with Talismans for extra damage.
- The Gyokuto Buff makes her attacks longer and may make her faster.
- Study Okatsu's moves, especially her sword combos, to counter effectively.
- Keep your Ki up to punish her effectively.
- Her Kunai Throw is a fan of FIVE Kunai that spread out, usually only 1-2 will hit you.
