Enemies and Bosses / Boss - The Transgressor
Dokyo Boss
One of Yoshitsune's faithful retainers. Not actually a Genma - at least, that's what she says. She's not given to speaking in straightforward terms, which means her motives for serving Yoshitsune and her overall aims are something of a mystery. In combat, she likes to chip away at her enemies from afar, slowly wearing them down. Staving off her attacks and working your way in close is the key to defeating her.

Battle priorities
| Threat | Response |
|---|---|
| Ranged pressure | Defend while advancing, then keep the fight close enough to deny her preferred range. |
Moves and counters
Attack patterns and practical responses for recognizing the enemy's punish windows.
| Move | Pattern | Counter |
|---|---|---|
| Straight and circle shots | Alternates direct projectiles with circular patterns. | Strafe the direct shot and move through the opening in the circle. |
| Windmill shot | Rotates projectile lanes across the arena. | Move with the open lane instead of dodging against the rotation. |
| Crawling shot | Sends a low projectile along the ground. | Track the floor and avoid retreating blindly. |
| Homing shot | Tracks Musashi after release and includes a just-guard response. | Delay the evade or just guard at contact. |
| Crossfire | Attacks from intersecting projectile lines. | Move to the gap before both lines meet. |
| Avatar attack | Attacks through an additional manifestation. | Keep Dokyo and the avatar in view before committing. |
| All-area attack | Covers the arena with her largest pattern. | Prioritize the safe lane; do not force a close-range punish. |
| Soul enhancement | Begins a soul-enhanced state. | Deny loose souls and interrupt the startup when possible. |
