Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * When using items, be aware that certain attacks can be sealed based on the threshold. This strategy can only be used three times total on different turns and the third time will make Gilgamesh use his break. During this break you do not need to seal anything because he will not counter. The skills that can be sealed in thresholds will be listed below.
 * >80% HP: Genji Helm
 * 60% - 80% HP: Genji Blade
 * 40% - 60% HP: Excalipoor and Apocalypse
 * 20% - 40% HP: Apocalypse
 * <20% HP: Excalipoor and Apocalypse


 * The Bushido - Freedom death mechanic check will not target your provoker. The death check goes in slot order. So it will check slot 1 to see if the target is eligible to to be killed (i.e death immunity is not eligible) then move to the next target in the slot 2 and check again and so on. This will keep proceeding based on the amount of deaths in the Bushido.
 * Note: I have not tested how Bushido freedom 3 works if you have two genji armors because of the 50% it was hard to notice.
