HOW DO I BEAT GENICHIRO.

guys im going feral cus he clapped me like 50 times already and i just cant seem to make past the second phase. I’m not exactly a fast learner either. My vitality is 14 while attack pwr is 3 (also 8 healing gourd)

Also is there any way to increase my attack before genichiro? Its my first playthrough!!

UPDATE : i can now get through the first two phases easily thanks to you guys! I can see myself being better now. However i cannot make past the third phase yet, hopefully will!
