Phase 1: Aggressive Brawler

Yuta is fast and uses quick combos. His primary attacks are a series of punches and kicks. He will often try to close the distance quickly. Focus on guarding his initial flurry, then counter-attack with a short combo. Use dodges to get behind him and land a few hits. Don't get greedy; hit a few times and then be ready to guard or dodge again. He's susceptible to environmental Heat Actions if you can maneuver him near objects.

Phase 2: Heat Mode

Once his health drops to about 50%, Yuta will enter a more aggressive state, often glowing with a red aura. His attacks become faster and deal more damage. He might also gain a short unblockable charge attack. This is a good time to activate your own Extreme Heat Mode if available, or use a powerful Heat Action. If not, continue with hit-and-run tactics, prioritizing evasion over sustained offense. Use Staminan if your health is low.
