Stats / Weaknesses:

Nagoriyuki is a large, slow character with no dash or airdash.
His Blood Gauge fills when using special moves. If it fills completely, he enters Blood Rage.
During Blood Rage, his health drains rapidly, he cannot use special moves, but his sword attacks gain increased range and damage, and he can use a special Overdrive.
Exiting Blood Rage prematurely requires landing specific attacks or his command grab.

Phases:

Normal State: Utilize his ōdachi for mid-range control and special move cancels. Manage the Blood Gauge by using special moves strategically.
Blood Rage: A high-risk, high-reward state. Focus on maximizing damage with enhanced sword attacks and using the special Overdrive to potentially end the rage early. Be mindful of the rapid health drain.

Strategy:

Utilize Nagoriyuki's command grab and sword strikes to lower the Blood Gauge and avoid entering Blood Rage at inopportune moments.
Seamlessly cancel special moves into one another for extended combos and pressure.
In Blood Rage, leverage the increased range and damage of his sword attacks.
Be aware of the slow animation when entering Blood Rage, as it can be punished.
His Overdrive can be used to deal massive damage and potentially end Blood Rage if the animation completes.
