Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the difficult Swordmaster and unlock his Job Asterisk for yourself!
-----------------------------------------------------
The Swordmaster uses a variety of moves to counter yours; initially, you have to make lucky guesses as to what he won't use and prepare for the worse in case he ends up using it. Nothing Venturerd counters physical moves, while Before Swine counters magical moves.
Know Thine Enemy counters a chosen enemy with massive damage, resulting in a K.O. in most cases--you have, at best, an one in four chance of avoiding this. To minimise the damage from his counter attacks, don't expend Brave points to do multiple attacks and, instead, save them for a rainy day.
Ironically, the best time to attack Kamiizumi is after getting a K.O. After the Swordmaster fells one of your characters, he will Brave twice the next turn and unleash three attacks, leaving him immobile for two turns. When this occurs, Default to survive his fury. Afterwards, bring back your fallen allies and unleash your powerful moves on Kamiizumi.
When he reaches critical HP, he will stop using counters and Brave twice, making the battle less of a mind game. Bring along a Salve-maker or two if you need help reviving your party efficiently--compound a Phoenix Down and a Potion for best results.
