This guide walks you through all you should probably know tobeat the Blade Twin bossin Rise of the Ronin.
Be mindful that this guide might containsmall spoilers.
In the initial menu screen, you’re free to select two allies to accompany you.
At this point of the game, you probably havent unlocked many.
But, we suggest that you takeGenzui Kusaka.
He uses a Combat Style of the Chi key in, which will help you.
The second ally is up to your preferences.
Because of that, to make your life easier, you should alwaysswap charactersduring the fight.
When it comes to attacks, Blade Twin is ruthless.
They have fast sequences of attacks and gap-closers that will test your reflexes.
Among their basic moveset,they use a feint that can fool you when learning the fight.
They start running toward you and, when they are really close, they go to your left.
you might only deflect the attack after the feint, however the animation is pretty difficult to follow.
So the safest bet is toblock everything and get some distance from them.
They can also use an area-of-effect attack spinning their arm around them.
This move is possible to deflect since timing the spins is a matter of practice.
Blocking them is also a possibility.
They perform aaerial grappling hook attackthat is deflectable but hard to time.
Wait for the red light to appear for you to try deflecting it.
During the fight, the boss can change the bang out of weapon they are using.
They tend to swap between a katana and a sabre.
With the former, change to a character or combat style of the Chi throw in.
Both the protagonist and Genzui Kusaka have this.
As the fight goes on, a new attack is added to the Blade Twin moveset.
Have fun facing other bosses in Rise of the Ronin!
