After you win a battle in Muramasa: The Demon Blade, you'll get a list of rewards for things you did during the battle, like "Quick Draw Finish" for killing an enemy with a quick draw attack or "Completed Unscathed" for clearing the fight without taking any damage.

One that I get every now and then, but cannot figure out what it is, is "Fortune Strike". As far as I can tell, I haven't been able to find any consistent method of earning this one. It's not really worth much, but considering I can at least tell how I received the others, this one is just confounding me all the time. What are the requirements for receiving this bonus, exactly?

I believe that Fortune Strike occurs when you interrupt an enemy attack, causing them to flinch out of performing it.

I could be wrong.

I'll try this out over the weekend, then. Never thought about it as interrupting... since that generally does occur and not occur without me paying heed, it does make a sensible requirement. – Grace Note♦ Aug 11 '10 at 14:24

Ha. Believe it or not, I didn't copy + paste from that thread. Good find though: That thread might be better than my anecdotal experience. – Raven Dreamer♦ Aug 11 '10 at 14:49
I lent my copy of the game to one of my friends. He'll enjoy it immensely, I hope, but the consequence is that I am no longer able to test this (last weekend ended up being pretty busy). So it'll be some time before I can accept this, unless someone else manages to chime in with something more confident. – Grace Note♦ Aug 23 '10 at 21:28
Yes, by the way, the game is still lent out. I'm too busy running an alchemy workshop to particularly pester the fellow to have it back, yet, haha. ♪ – Grace Note♦ May 9 '11 at 19:56
