How to defeat Ashina Elite - Ujinari Mizuo?

This mini-boss doesn't have a lot of health, however, he can deal massive damage. His combo, initiated with a quick draw slash, can break your guard and deal damage. This is his most frequently used move.

You can poison him with Sabimaru; don't waste Spirit Emblems - stop attacking once Mizuo gets poison status effect.

Our suggested strategy involves using Sabimaru and, optionally, Fistful of Ash. Poison the enemy by using Sabimaru, and then stay away from him until the poison status effect disappears. You have to repeat this about 2-4 times per health bar - stop using Sabimaru when you notice the poison icon above the enemy's head.

When you notice his sword flashing, dodge diagonally to the left. After that, you can perform a counter. Perform two slashes - you will make the boss unable to use a quick slash after your single attack. It is possible that you won't be able to dodge it in time. In conclusion:

1. Use Sabimaru to poison the enemy,
2. Dodge his attacks by moving to the left, preferably diagonally to get behind his back,
3. Perform two fast slashes and then move away from the mini-boss (the best way to do that is to jump backward to avoid his special move- sweep attack),
4. Keep repeating these actions until Mizuo is dead.
5. You can use Fistful of Ash to attack him from behind a few times or use this opportunity to poison Mizuo - this method is good when you don't want to dodge a lot and risk with your life.
