Ultimate Mission Analysis

ULTIMATE 01

Mission Details

Tactical Analysis

Wave 1: This entire mission is essentially one big battle against the Black Spider Clan.

It starts off with a small group of Spider Ninja, Archers, Talon Ninja, and Aya Ninja. Focus on the Archers first, and leave the Talon Ninja for last because they’re the most difficult to defeat of the enemies in this wave.

When you build up to an Ultimate Technique, get close to one of the Talon Ninja before executing it.

Any Talon Ninja you can take out with Ninpo or an Ultimate Technique makes one less troublesome Ninja to worry about.

Wave 2: Stay away from Genshin because his attacks inflict a great deal of damage, and take out the Archers first in this wave of enemies.

Use your Ultimate Technique near one of the Talon Ninja dwindle their numbers while engaging the Archers. When the Archers are down, shift your attention to the Talon Ninja.

They block a good number of attacks and counter with bombs. Be ready to slide away if you’re too close to the bombs. Stay on top of the Talon Ninja with Quick and Strong Attacks, but never let Genshin out of your sight.

When only Genshin remains, evade his combos and counter with an Izuna Drop. This version of Genshin is two times as strong as the previous fights and it takes a considerable amount of Izuna Drops to defeat him.

To make matters worse, it doesn’t take many attacks from Genshin to take you down, so you have to be very careful to attack only after he’s finish a combo, and avoid his attacks at all cost.

Wave 3: This is a very difficult battle that begins with a fight against two Genshins at double the strength of the normal Genshin (the same as he was in the second wave).

Fight him exactly the same as you did in the second wave, except keep a close watch on the other Genshin so you can avoid his attacks.

There are a total of five Genshins that you must defeat, but luckily they only attack two a time.

However, because of the large number of enemies and the fact that you have a very limited number of retries, it is extremely important to fight as cautiously as possible and not take unnecessary risks.

This is a long and drawn out fight, but it’s better than having to start over at the beginning of the mission.

When only two Genshins remain, alternate between the two. Try to deal equal damage to each so that when one dies, the other is close to death.

When there’s only one Genshin left, two Demon Genshins at twice their normal strength appear.

If you can hit the last remaining Genshin with one or two Izuna Drops to finish him off, it will make the battle against two Demon Genshins much easier.

Two Demon Genshins are hard enough, but toss a regular Genshin into the mix and it becomes even harder.

Once again, you must be extremely careful against the two Demon Genshins. It only takes a few attacks for either of them to take you down.

Even if you have a retry left to use, you’d have to go through the five normal Genshins to make it back to this point.

Do not be overly aggressive and wait until after Demon Genshin ends a combo before you attempt an attack.

Slide from one end of the area to the other in an effort to separate the two Demon Genshins, and avoid attacking one if the other is close enough to attack you.

ULTIMATE 02

Mission Details

Tactical Analysis

Wave 1: The previous mission was basically a battle against the entire Black Spider Clan, and this mission is essentially a battle against the LOA Army.

The first wave is fairly tame, with an assortment of soldiers that are all relatively easy to deal with.

Save the Heavy Soldiers (White) for last because they block more of your attacks than any of the other soldiers.

Use Ninpo and Ultimate Techniques as you get them to make this battle go a little faster.

Wave 2: Ignore the Ghost Soldiers and focus on the Alchemists. The Ghost Soldiers will drop bombs, but if you watch out for them, they do not pose much of a threat.

Slide back and forth across the area to isolate each Alchemist and take them down, then use arrows to find the Ghost Soldiers.

Wave 3: Focus on the Rocket Launchers in the third wave, then use Strong Attacks to remove the shields from the Shield Soldiers and turn them into normal Heavy Soldiers.

The Assassins should be your second focus because their daggers can be difficult to contend with at times. When the Assassins are down, take care of the remaining Heavy Soldiers.

Wave 4: The last wave in this mission is the hardest. Ignore the two Regent of the Masks as best you can while you isolate the Alchemists and take them down one at a time.

When all 12 Alchemists are down, you can now focus on the two Regent of the Masks. Both are relatively aggressive, and are two and a half times the strength of the normal Regent of the Mask.

It’s important to take every opportunity to attack so this fight is not drawn out any longer than it has to be.

Treat the Regent of the Masks like you would the Alchemists and slide from one end of the area to the other in an attempt to separate them.

With the Regent of the Masks being as aggressive as they are, it won’t be hard to get them to chase after you, which naturally separates them for a short time.

Use this opportunity to get in a couple of Quick or Strong Attacks, but do not get carried away. It does not take many Unblockable Grabs to end this mission prematurely.

ULTIMATE 03

Mission Details

Tactical Analysis

Wave 1: This entire mission is against either the normal Epigonos, his Final Form, or both at the same time. The first wave starts with one Epigonos, but when he’s defeated, two more appear to take his place.

In addition, all three Epigonos are stronger than the Epigonos you faced in previous missions.

It takes only a few hits to kill you. Slide back and forth across the area in an attempt to separate the Epigonos so you can fight them one at a time.

Luckily, because these are the normal Epigonos you don’t have to wait for them to change weapons.

Wave 2: Unlike the previous wave, in this wave the Epigonos and Epigonos Final Form fight against you at the same time.

Focus on the normal Epigonos first because you don’t have to wait for him to change weapons. However, keep the Epigonos Final Form in sight at all times.

If he’s using the scythe, get away from him and wait for him to switch to one of the other two weapons before you even attempt to fight the normal Epigonos anywhere near him.

When only the Epigonos Final Form remains, wait for him to switch to the Dragon Sword before you attack. Once he’s using the Dragon Sword, wait for him to end a combo before you attempt a counterattack with an Izuna Drop.

Wave 3: This wave starts off a little easier than the last because you only have to fight two Epigonos in their original forms (although much stronger than normal).

However, when those two are down three Epigonos Final Forms appear simultaneously. No matter how you approach the three Final Form Epigonos, this is a tough battle.

Slide from one end of the area to the other and wait patiently for one of the Epigonos to change to the Dragon Sword.

When this happens, as long as the other two are not close by with any weapon other than the Dragon Sword, move in and wait for a combo.

Slide to avoid the third and fifth attacks, then counter with an Izuna Drop.

This is a very long and drawn out fight, but unfortunately there’s no way to make this battle go any faster. If you rush your attacks, you will get hit and you will die quickly.

Even if only one of the Epigonos is attacking you, it needs to land only a small number of attacks to kill you.
