Being the healer is not always the most preferred option for gamers, but Ghost of Tsushima is very different from the traditional healer role. The Ronin can be a killer just as much as the other classes in Legends mode and can also play the conventional healer role. The other classes are reasonably straight forward, but the Ronin has flexibility in its build, where it grabs its strength.
Since there are a few different methods to building the Ronin, looking at a straight healer tends to give some extra options when dealing with the various chapters of The Tale of Iyo, Stories, and Survival modes. The Ronin's beauty is having the Breath of Izanami that can heal or do fire damage, but the reviving ability is second to none. The class abilities will be situational depending on the mission getting tackled, while the gear is where the most significant changes will occur and what the focus will be here.
What Is The Best Build For The Ronin In Ghost Of Tsushima
For Ronins in Ghost of Tsushima, the gear will determine what kind of build they will do and their roles. For the most part, generating a lot of Resolve and dropping the cooldown time for skills tends to be a big theme, with The Forbidden Medicine Legendary item taking center stage. If players want to make a straight healer build, which is the most popular one, here are some recommendations for the techniques and gear, along with an explanation on why the setup works:
- Techniques: Healing Incense, Ronin Unleashed, Resolve Increase/Quick Regen, Soothing Breath
- Water Katana: Melee Resolve Gain and Ability Cooldown Reduction + Perk: Water Master
- Forbidden Medicine: Blast Radius and Status Effect Damage + Perk: Flash Bombs
- Ronin Charm: Revive Health and Resolve Gain + Perk: Health Increase
- Sticky Bomb: Cooldown Reduction and Cooldown Reduction on Kill + Perk: Lucky
- Smoke Bomb: Cooldown Reduction and Cooldown Reduction on Kill + Perk: Munitions
This build works because it puts a on getting skills and techniques back at the ready in as little time as possible. It also allows for getting multiple bombs thrown, causing a lot of damage and healing thanks to the Forbidden Medicine Legendary item. Damage is not tremendously necessary with this type of build, but this build will allow the Ronin class to shine in even Nightmare Survival missions.
Ghost of Tsushima is available to play now on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
