Ghost of Tsushima: Legends

Resolve Gain

Mobile-friendly (quicksheet/cheatsheet version)

Resolve tends to shape how users create builds (and in turn how many meta builds are enabled). For certain game modes & playstyles, Resolve is secondary to strategy, and overall skill with a Class can minimize the need for heavy Resolve gain focus.

It enables each Class to use their Ultimate abilities, which provide powerful support on the battlefield. For Samurai, Hunter, & Assassin, it gives them a powerful damage ability. For Ronin, it gives them the ability to revive/resurrect all players (anywhere on the map) immediately.

In general* Range resolve gain is the most efficient and will dictate how builds are created. Headshots with Arrows/Darts earns 3 resolve for every 8 headshots. Tools like Bottle of Liquid Courage & Sudden Resolve do have their place in certain modes and technically offer ‘faster’ resolve gain than a single headshot (but also require higher cooldowns and better overall ‘tool’ management).

HOW IS RESOLVE GENERATED?

Resolve is generated as a per-strike system not a damage system. What this means is if you are strategic with how you attack, you can generate resolve very quickly (different strike types generate resolve at different rates). In the case of Injured Resolve, it is the same system in reverse (instead of you doing strikes, it is strikes received from enemies; enemy damage does not matter so choosing the right strikes to take matters)

Abilities that consume resolve do not generate resolve (Heavenly Strike, Super Strike, Ultimates, etc). Abilities that add extra damage (ie Fired up, Way of the Flame, Burning/Poison Blade) do not increase Resolve generated for their particular attack type. Area Of Effects typically DO generate Resolve for each enemy struck.
