Genshin Impact Clash of Lone Blades guide: How to defeat Ookubo Sanzaemon samurai?

A new game mode has been unlocked at Genshin Impact's Hues of the Violet Garden event. This event offers a unique playstyle where Travelers won't be able to use Elemental Skills or Elemental Burst, but will gain an entirely new dodge mechanic.

Each perfect parry against normal and honed techniques will grant stacks of courage that allow the next attack to be Critical as well as reset the cooldown while parrying. A maximum of three stacks can be gained, all of which are consumed when the Critical is connected, and the damage dealt is also increased based on the number of stacks players have during the Critical hit.

This article will show you everything players need to know to defeat their first opponent, Ookubo Sanzaemon, in Clash of Lone Blades in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: Guide to defeating Ookubo Sanzaemon Samurai in Clash of Lone Blades

Each warrior uses some kind of ordinary attack and honed technique. Sharpened techniques are extremely powerful moves that can deal a lot of damage to the opponent when countered. Players can interact with Ookubo Sanzaemon before the fight to control his honed technique, a fierce thrust attack.

Players can wait for the visual cue to parry to perform a perfect parry. When Ookubo Sanzaemon is about to use his Honed Technique, his weapons will shine brightly.

Players should go to parry immediately after the opponent's sword flashes to perfectly counter Ookubo Sanzaemon's attack.

Clash of Lone Blades has its own difficulty system that players can adjust before fighting each warrior. These:

• Serious Difficulty
• Terrible Difficulty
• Dangerous Difficulty

Ookubo Sanzaemon is easy to defeat on Serious difficulty as he will only use ordinary attacks. But with Dire difficulty, players will have to use parry attacks to deal more damage, and Ookubo Sanzaemon will occasionally use his honed techniques.

Things get more interesting on Dangerous difficulty as Ookubo Sanzaemon will sometimes drop firework grenades at players. This can be avoided, but players will still take damage, so it's best to dodge the bomb. Players must defeat Ookubo Sanzaemon on Dire difficulty or above to receive Primogems and more as rewards.
