Being able to identify and react to staggered enemies is key as you can chain together multiple strikes as long as your timing is spot on. There are plenty of ways to do this including heavy katana attacks (Water stance blades work best) as well as certain Ghost Weapons.įor tougher targets – including elite Oni – you won’t be able to one-shot them with an assassination, instead performing a critical strike though this can dole out some hefty damage. Staggering is done by depleting the white bar above an enemy’s health – once broken, they will be stunned for a few valuable seconds. Knowing how to stagger enemies is another important lesson for Assassins and this can leave them prone to a lot more damage, should you equip the right perks.
Therefore, you’ll need to rely on Ghost Weapons such as smoke bombs to cut their line of sight as well as your class ability, Toxic Vanish. Disengaging, then coming back is certainly an option though this eats up valuable time and can put pressure on allies defending control points. To play the Assassin well you need to regain the element of surprise, even when locked in combat with them. It’s not such a problem when playing the story driven two player missions in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, though survival runs are a different story. The difficulty here is that once you’ve been spotted, your character will default back to sword attacks.
