Same Attacks As Jinsuke Saze But Stronger

You can eavesdrop him before you fight him if you enter from the top area of the tower. Hide just by the stairs before you enter the area to eavesdrop.
Defeat Ujinari Mizuo by Breaking his Posture
Breaking his posture will be the most optimal way of defeating him. He takes significant damage if his attacks are deflected properly.
Break His Posture by Parrying
The most optimal way to defeat him is by parrying his attacks. His Ashina Cross attack can easily be parried once you get the rhythm of the 2 slashes. Plainly blocking his attack will cause you to take significant damage as well so time your parries well.
