This is mostly help for the last boss.

Boss: Genshin
Six Hit Combo: He usually opens up the fight with this. It is comprised of two sword slashes, two fast jabs with his claw, another sword slash and then a 360 degree power slash that will break your guard and leave you vulnerable. If you can just dash away, you should be able to avoid it.

Jumping Slash: He will just usually do this randomly by jumping straight at you and trying and slash you. You can block this, but be careful because he can follow it up with another set of slashes while you recover.

Twirling Slash: He does a swipe of the sword, jumps in the air and twirls around twice, then lands and slashes twice. Again, just dash away from him.

Flying Swallow: Do not jump off of the ground. He only uses this if you jump. When you jump, he will just home in on you and do a flying swallow, which knocks you down and takes off a lot of health. It is very dangerous, but you can avoid it by simply staying on the ground and never giving him the opportunity.

Ultimate Technique: He will charge up and start grunting, then do a quick dash forward, which homes in on wherever you are, and knocks you down. As soon as you see him charge, run around the arena to avoid it.

Kick Combo: Genshin will kick once, then slash twice. Just move away from him. There's little start up for this. Think of it as his version of a counter move.

Four Hit Combo: He will just slash twice and then spin around twice and try to hit you with his sword. You can block most of this combo or simply Reverse Wind to avoid it.

Strategy: First of all, ninpo rarely works on Genshin. You can use it for the sake of its invulnerability frames, but don't count on it doing any damage to him. Secondly, as mentioned above, stay on the ground. He'll counter any of your aerial attacks with his own Flying Swallow. The strategy for this fight is relatively simple. All you have to do is avoid his attacks by dashing and blocking and then wait until he finishes a combo. At that point, he'll pause for a second and you can dash up to him to pull off a quick combo. Don't get greedy and try to extend the attack for too long or he'll counter with more attacks of his own. To be really safe, just use Crimson Tempest (Y,Y) with the Dragon Sword and then dash away. If you've upgraded the Dragon Sword to level two, you can get away with using Undefeatable Demon (Y,Y,Y). Be patient and you'll eventually finish him off.

So I have been doing some research and have found out there is an Invincible glitch which I am suprised that it is nowhere to be found in solutions so I guess I will be the one to post it. I have beat this game 14 times in total trying to complete it and it is one of the hardest games I have ever played.

To activate Invincibility you need more than 1 weapon, so as soon as you get the staff in the beginning you can activate it. To activate Invincibility open up your weapons by hitting up on the D-pad and hitting X+B at the same time on another weapon. To de-activate it just equipt ANY weapon, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO DEACTIVATE IT SO DONT WORRY! To run around with it on you have to jump around alot, and right when you land push up on your analog stick. To read tips on using this glitch or strategies to beat bosses and other units just read my guide on the Master Ninja achievement:
