Ghost of Tsushima: Legends

Resolve = Triangle Triangle Square

Damage = Triangle Square Square

Stagger = Triangle Triangle Triangle [good for purple oni lord]

DPS = Triangle Triangle-hold Square (repeat) Its the highest damage combo in the game. However, does not work on shieldman. Use on staggered enemies and onis to get moon cancel-esque dps.

Quick Damage = hold Triangle and release. Do for NON kills [because there’s a kill animation that slows you down] then do a regular slash or two for speed. The killing blow should be with a regular Triangle attack. This enables dodging of attacks/hwacha/orbs.

Hunter vs Other Classes

Using this technique, you can Perfect Parry an opponent, then cancel the animation of the parry counterstrike, opting to instead shoot a headshot Explanation & Tech Demonstration

Timing of the slam: roll the moment you see that red X appear during the apex of his swing. Timing is VERY tight. Direction of roll is irrelevant.

4-hit Quick Attack: If you miss a Perfect Dodge (PD) on the 1st of his 4-hit quick attack string, go for a Perfect Parry. You don’t have enough time to ‘reset’ the PD timer, so you won’t be able to PD any of his other attacks unless you get hit by one, which obviously isn’t ideal on shared wounds.

Thrusts: If you miss a PD on his first thrust, then be ready to immediately parry the subsequent sweep because it comes out lightning fast

Knowing more about your enemy (total health, counter stance, stagger bar, attacks) makes it easier to anticipate how to approach a situation. You can read more about Enemy data in the Enemy Health & Tactics page.

The Ronin benefits greatly from having an innate +50% Ghost Weapon technique (Tech Line 1), on top of what can be stacked with gear. Combining this with Spirit Kunai, enables the Ronin to reach a maximum of 6.3 damage PER KUNAI thrown (31.5 dmg for all 5 kunai)

Shotgunning Kunai is the act of using all 5 kunai to land on a single target. It can be a difficult combat tech to pull off but when successful is devastating in terms of the total damage done to a single target (21 dmg on a 40% Ghost Weapon Samurai or Assassin build, 31.5 dmg on a 110% Ghost Weapon Ronin build).

Using the Black Powder bomb strategically, you can effectively setup targets to be ready to kill with SK. Combined with Cooldown on Kill (2s) on a Stealth Charm, your SK will instantly refresh

Using the Hunter’s Explosive Arrow to first weaken targets, you can then wait for them to burn into SK range for easy kills/refreshes.

Of the four classes, the Assassin is the most versatile & mercurial. It is capable of leveraging many Legendary gear and playstyles to suit the player or the game mode. If you review the Assassin Builds, you will also note that besides a lot of variation in gear setups, property & perk choices can be tweaked to suit your need (so a large spread of choices).
