Azai Nagamasa has wings and will make the most of them, considering that they cover a large part of his body and will deflect all incoming bullets and attacks. This means that when using them, your only option is to stay on guard and regain all the stamina you can manage. There is no reason to attack it, considering that you will simply be exposed and can take unnecessary damage. 

As for his attacks, they are almost all classic sword sweeps. However, you will have to be very careful with combos. When it starts throwing at you magical attacks in the form of bullets, we recommend that you start running around the arena and dodge its hitboxes as much as possible. Don't let too many bullets hit you or you will soon perish.
