Guilty Gear -Strive-

This boss is unfair for four reasons

1. It has a 3-hit combo that if it connects fully deals 70% health damage to you
2. It has a no-penalty burst counter move that doesn't use up your burst bar and throws you to the other side of the screen
3. The length of the Katana gives it a coverage of up to 80% of the screen horizontally and the sweep is both frontal and anti-air
4. (The most annoying in my opinion) has a movement to stop/counter the opponent within a combo or within an attack, while he activates "the fervor of blood" for his katana and cuts the rhythm of execution of the combos or attacks being executed at that moment, this movement has the highest priority of all, so it breaks the timing of the execution of combos and can be linked to points 1,2 and 3

Tips
* Try to take it to the shores and execute combos and powers to change the scenery and take the bonus
* He is a heavy character who hardly jumps so he uses that to your advantage
* Always close distance with Jump, Forward, Forward this will avoid the frontal attack of the katana and other attacks
* Every time he damages you, the energy he takes from you goes to the bar of his katana (a kind of blood fervor), so that the less energy you have, his katana becomes "more normal" and you can take advantage of this to make combos to win the round

Strategy 1:
Repeated and short combos. You have to change the timing when executing a combo and when I stop, repeat that sequence so as not to lose the combo (this worked for me with May and Milia in separate individual fights) and shorten the distance trying to always be close so that the combo of 3 blows of the saber, do not execute it and if you make normal blows and the cheating Burst, breaking his rhythm and forcing him to do the Burs without penalty

Strategy 2:
Force a 2 vs 1 fight. To do this you have to win the first fight (it's your direct rival) and not continue (you can lose a round, always winning 2 out of 3, but not losing is a requirement if you want to face the most powerful boss) this will change you to the Hard way (if you don't lose any round it sends you to the Extreme way) and in the fight against the boss your rival joins you (I did it with May and Chip comes to help and with Chip May comes to help ) the second character is handled by the CPU and if they coordinate they can defeat him very easily
