Tsubutaki's Strategy

Tsubutaki will only use skills from the Faith school. These include, but are not limited to:

Angel's Wing		Demon's Fire		Greedy Spirit
Hell's Fire		Lingering Flame

Of all of these you need to be worried about Lingering Flame the most. She has no trouble using skills that reduce her health and she'll use them almost to death. However, once she has the ability to use Lingering Flame (health less than 7) she can use it non-stop. Even if you have a similarly zero-cost defense you don't want to stand there blocking her shots forever.

Your Strategy

At this stage players can choose their own set of skills. Therefore, there may be many different strategies.

Self-Destruct Strategy

With the exception of Lingering Flame, all of her attacks either cause her damage or are one-time use. Block them or dodge them, but let her do all the damage [to herself]. Use an erase skill to get rid of Lingering Flame or else you'll have a really tough time. When she's down to 1 health point she's an easy kill. There's a small chance she'll be left with Angel's Wing (which can erase your attacks) so use a Dragon Slayer or two to make sure she can't block anything you throw at her.

Recommended Skills (Two School)

• Dragon Slayer (Ki)
• Vacuum Wall (Nature)

Sneak Attack Strategy

You can start out with the "Self-Destruct Strategy" to get a lead on her, but it isn't necessary. The pillars nearby your start point are indestructible. Hide behind them and wait for Tsubutaki to run up to you. Once she's in close range hit her with a powerful close range attack. Any kind of close range attack will do, but she has Angel's Wing in her arsenal and you may end up losing your skill. Hide behind the pillar again until she runs away (she'll run away as long as she has capsules to pick up). When she comes back do it again.

Recommended Skills (Two School)

• Psycho Blade (Psycho)
• Vacuum Slash (Nature)
