The Samurai in Legends Mode for close quarters combat and can wreck enemies in the blink of an eye with the right build. There are many different builds and methods to playing the Samurai, but it depends on whether players want to be aggressive or be the ultimate tank. Since damage in Legends is king, it makes it an easy choice to be bold.
Some Samurai builds can either play with the idea of getting damaged to gain resolve or even have two Legendary gear pieces to cause a lot of damage, but the time to kill can suffer. Having to wait for enemies to hurt you to gain resolve can be counterproductive. That's why revolving around the Explosive Blade will be a source of healing and a source of death to opponents. There's nothing more satisfying than dealing a lot of damage while healing to make life in Nightmare missions easy.
What Is The Best Build For The Samurai In Ghost Of Tsushima
When it comes to the best Samurai Build in Ghost of Tsushima, The techniques will enhance the damage that the Samurai can do. Picking Explosive Blade, Deep Strikes, Resolve Increase, and Hachiman's Frenzy all have the same goal of striking down enemies quickly and efficiently. If players find they're dying too fast, changing Deep Strikes to Defender is possible, although, with enough healing, it's possible to stay with Deep Strikes. As for the gear, here is the list that will complement the techniques:
- Water Katana: Melee Damage and Melee Stagger Damage - Way Of The Flame
- Half Bow: Ranged Resolve Gain and Draw Speed, - Helmet Piercing Ammo
- Samurai Charm: Melee Damage and Explosive Blade Radius - Blessed Strikes
- Spirit Kunai: Melee Damage and Damage Increase - Super Massive
- Caltrops: Damage Increase and Melee Stagger Damage - Deep Bags/Lucky
The build's point is to do as much damage as possible and get Explosive Blade to trigger as much as possible. Each hit from the Samurai's blade will cause a ton of damage, and the Explosive Blade enhances it. Having Explosive Blade Radius on the Samurai Charm will trigger an AOE that will heal, thanks to Blessed Strikes, and take out any enemies in the vicinity. In a Nightmare Survival, having Explosive Blade will allow players to take out entire armies of enemies. When enemies are close to death, hitting them with the Spirit Kunai gets the Explosive Blade to lower its cooldown significantly. The Caltrops will keep enemies at bay, with Deep Bags and Lucky being interchangeable.
Ghost of Tsushima is available to play now on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
