Use Death Glove Skills

Use Death Slow to counter his rapid, close-ranged fighting. Similarly, use Death Force to prevent him from wall-running or to blast him away when you need to charge. When he creates multiple copies of himself, use Death Rain's projectiles to help deal damage.

Use Wrestling Moves

Native Dancer can be stunned by mashing him with combos. When stunned, perform a wrestling move on Native Dancer to deal massive damage and replenish your power.

How to Perform Wrestling Moves

Use Full-Armor Against Duplicates

If the Slash Reel gives you Full-Armor Mode during the battle, make sure to save it until he creates multiple copies of himself, as they're very difficult to deal with all at once. It will also ensure you defeat him quickly so he doesn't create even more duplicates.
