Ronin Tips & How to Use

Explosive Strike Damage

Creep up to your enemies and charge up your Iai-giri before even making contact or before the enemy takes notice of your presence. This ability has explosive strike damage and will deal considerable damage when you max out the affinity bonuses of the Ronin.

Use Combos to Isolate Enemies

The Ronin's combos are excellent for breaking enemy groups and isolating a particular enemy for easy picking. Holding down the Attack button will charge up your aura and allow you to perform multiple slashes at an incredible attack speed, pair that with its high damage output, and you are walking storm of sword slashes.
