What is the strat here? I could just brute-force the damned thing with my Fists, but I'm trying to learn how to Sword properly, but this thing takes no damage, and can kill me in as little as three hits! Same goes for the Ki bar, gone in a flash.

How do you deal with these things, exactly? Headshots with Ranged weapons do nothing, magic/ninpo doesn't stagger it, and somehow, they're making the Karasu Tengu look easy.

Horn, yokai ability, go around back, hit in the back and then grab, when he gets up he's going to roar, which will knock you back if you aren't in a hyper armor active skill and the fight will start with him almost dead.

Having trouble moving behind it AND getting enough time in to swing at it, the damn thing has a backswing that makes Andre the Giant look pitiful. I've tried shooting its horn, but nothing happened... Maybe I need to use a cannon, instead? Is there a way to achieve hyper armor in this game? Haven't seen any signs of such a thing, as of yet.

If i remember Low stance for Katana has a jumping attack that can hit the Horn.

The only thing that comes to mind is the sheathed axe skill, but it also slows you down. Have not tested with Extended Status Durations or Status Ailment Reduction to see if that impacts the buff / debuff side of it.

After Getting the Maeda Clan(that reduces the defense in 100% for 5 seconds after i grapple) i mostly just use Nurekabe skill that is a 90% hit rate on him that break his horn make him fall i grapple and just rush the rest

with a katana i suggest using sword ki and eat slowly his ki

[XenoEvil]

High stance sprinting attack to hit its head and then drop its ki to zero with any ki damage attack like kick or shadow sword

Anyone help with how to do this?

It's an unlockable katana skill that allows you to end a low combo with a dash forward and if it connects, it climbs up the target and slashes down. It leaves you vulnerable if you miss however.
