This is the easiest way (for me) to kill the boss. The tactic I use is Smash first then alternate between Smash and Windmill. He will never attack directly after a windmill and will either load a skill or attack after a Smash/normal knockback. Smash - Rank 4 Windmill - Rank 1 Combat Mastery - Rank 1 Critical Ht - Rank 1 Total: Just over 1000 Side note: I was totally lucky he didn't kill me when I transformed . (stupid video lag D:)
