need a tipp for isshin ashina

[Illaoi Bot]

im currently on ng+4 getting the last achievements what is the best skill for isshin ? i can handle emma even when her grab somehow glues itself to me a lot

[Tiasmoon]

The fire shield will fully block all of his dangerous moves in his second phase. For skills hmm, Mortal Blade or Spiral should both be good, but you might as well save the emblems for the shield.

generally his attack is similar to sword saint isshin first phase

also if he use any charge up attack (one mind,fire ichimonji double etc.)

he can be easily stun/stop with fire cracker (doesn't matter which one but long sparks works best)

mortal draw,ichimonji double also works but it's slower in my opinion

(you could cancel every attack with fire cracker on humanoid enemy on this game since it has only like 1.30 sec cooldown for them to be stunned again)

and suzaku's lotus umbrella is pretty good against him but i prefer fire cracker and use it only on a attack where i can't cancel via normal attack

Do't know for ng+, but for normal game:
Ichimonji double (just not after the jump in 2 and 3 phases),which is ironic enough.
To avoid Isshin's grab you need to dodge left or right after a shot pause.
To avoid Emma 's grab just jump back and then make Ichimonji double.
