Notes

• Fought for Promathia Mission 7-5: The Warrior's Path. He is armed with both a great katana and a bow.
• Uses Meikyo Shisui. Also eats a Shogun Rice Ball after a time.
• Uses his own unique versions of various Great Katana/Archery Weapon Skills:
  • Amatsu: Kazakiri (Tachi: Jinpu variant)
  • Amatsu: Torimai (Tachi: Enpi variant)
  • Amatsu: Yukiarashi (Tachi: Yukikaze variant)
  • Amatsu: Tsukioboro (Tachi: Gekko variant)
  • Amatsu: Hanaikusa (Tachi: Kasha variant)
  • Oisoya (Namas Arrow variant)
  • Amatsu: Tsukikage (unique Great Katana weaponskill)
    • Amatsu: Tsukikage has a special Skillchain property that enables him to trigger Cosmic Elucidation. This causes heavy damage to the whole party and results in automatic failure (expulsion from battlefield). He only does this after Meikyo Shisui, generally after a chain.
• He does not "ready" his weaponskills, making them difficult to stun.
