The Hunt has a lot of blue-flash and red-flash attacks that can be countered with the Ghoststep; it's time to practice those perfect dodges and parries.

Play defensively until their guard is broken before unleashing long combos. Once they're vulnerable, use Power Surge and everything else in your arsenal to deal as much damage as you can.
