How to Beat Junsuke Saze Ashina Elite
Like other fights in Sekiro, this fight with Saze is going to require that you focus on blocking and dodging attacks.

We found that a good combination of items and weapons to use are the following:
Equip the Firecracker Tool, and the Whirlwind Skill and you can have Junsuke Saze dead in just a few moments. When you head into the dojo run up to Saze and drop a Firecracker tool. He will be startled and then you can spam the whirlwind attack over and over until he gives up his first deathblow. The second phase of this fight is similar to the first. Look for the opportunity to drop a firecracker and then whirlwind spam him until he is dead.
