Akechi Mitsuhide Boss Fight

Akechi Mitsuhide

Phase 1

HP: 150,000,000,000

Counter-Death

Counter Death Move

Counter Akechi

Both phases for Akechi Mitsuhide have a mechanic where each time you get hit it adds to a counter above your head. When this counter reaches 30, you will be one-hit KO'd. If you managed to avoid being hit, the counter will slowly go down over time too.

Slash Attacks

Akechi Mitsuhide performs several knock-back slash attacks with his sword. The damage by these attacks is roughly 10% HP, but they can prove annoying try to get close to Akechi. One Slash will knock you into the air, the other will knock you backwards.

Blue Pulse Attack

At any time, Akechi can fire a blue-pulse attack across the entire map that deals around 30% HP to everyone who gets hit by it.

Jump Down Slash Attack

Akechi will also from time to time use his jump-down slash attack to deal around 10K HP.

Damage Reflect

Aketchi Reflect

Akechi also has damage reflect that can turn on. Hitting Akechi during this mode will reflect the damage back at you- so be careful!

Blue Shadow Mode

Dark Mode Aketchi

During this mode, Akechi will turn the background of the map black and will start summoning shadow versions of himself that fall from the sky. If these hit you, they will slow you down. Each hit will contribute to your counter and this is where you can start stacking up lots of counts. The best way is to try to just rush/teleport skils to dodge the shadows.

Phase 2

HP: 150,000,000,000

Phase 2 has all the of the mechanics of Phase 1 in addition to the following moves:

Blue Shadow Attack

Occasionally, Akechi will summon three blue shadows of himself. These will always appear in front of him and getting hit will cause you to be 1-hit KO. The best way to dodge this attack is by running towards Akechi and being behind him (rather than running away from the attacks).
