Thanks to\u00a0Sucker Punch,\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>takes players on a riveting stealth-action experience that does a retelling of Japan’s first Mongol invasion that took place on Tsushima Island. However, beyond\u00a0Tsushima<\/em>‘s compelling narrative lies the\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima: Legends<\/em>\u00a0mode.\u00a0<\/em>This\u00a0cooperative game mode\u00a0allows players to don the mantle of the Samurai\u00a0 \u2014\u00a0now tasked to fight\u00a0bandits, Oni, and Tengu with a team of warriors.<\/p>\n

The Samurai in\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>can imbue their blades with the power of spirits to unleash devastating attacks aided by their Stances. Additionally, their powerset\u00a0allows them to soak damage and remain on the front lines.\u00a0However, just what approach should players take to create the best Samurai for their\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>team?<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>A Matter Of Survival Versus Offense<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A quick look at the Samurai’s Class Abilities and Perks immediately associates them with a tanking role. Ideally, Samurai should soak in damage for the party or start the assault against stronger foes. In turn, the best Samurai builds will also depend if players want to prioritize the best survivability or the best aggressive assault for the round.<\/p>\n

For instance, a more defensive approach will rely more on Spirit Pull, Defender, Critical Defense, and Heavenly Strike. Ideally, this general approach allows the Samurai to outlast waves of enemies by sacrificing a bit of offense. An aggressive approach may opt for Explosive Blade, Deep Strikes, Resolve Increase, and Hachiman’s Frenzy. This general build should allows the Samurai to eliminate his foes quickly\u00a0before they push him on a corner.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Get Fluid With Stances<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In Legends<\/em>, certain swords only get access to certain Stances depending on their rarity. In turn, Samurai shouldn’t forget to remain fluid<\/a> with their Stances of choice. The stationary focus of the Stone Stance makes them effective only against Swordsmen. As such, the more fluid Water Stance can help deal with Shieldmen as well as Brutes, Spearmen, and Swordsmen.<\/p>\n

Moon Stance becomes a niche option for players who want to focus on killing Oni, as their heavy attacks can stagger most foes. Lastly, Wind Stance becomes great with its irritating kicks and anti-Spearmen parries.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Class Ability: Healing\u00a0Over Aggression<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Samurai’s Class Ability more or less dictates the general approach they want to take in combat, especially since each Class Ability either augments the Samurai’s healing or their offensive capabilities. Explosive Blade adds explosions when hitting enemies, but this encourages aggression that might lead to missed strikes, and therefore defensive openings. Instead, it’s highly recommended for Samurai to pick Spirit Pull .<\/p>\n

This passive lifesteal enables Samurai to last longer without always relying on the Ronin<\/a>. Moreover, Spirit Pull almost always guarantees that Samurai will never have to leave position. That way, their allies can pick off foes while they focus on the Samurai.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Perk 1: Ignore Defender<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For Perk 1, the Defender’s Health +25 boost seem attractive when combined with the Spirit Pull. However, a mere +25 boost to\u00a0Health\u00a0seems pale in comparison to percentile increases of Deep Strikes or Samurai Unleashed. After all, they adjust as the Samurai ranks up.<\/p>\n

Deep Strikes give a 10-percent Melee damage boost, enabling the Samurai to hack through opponents much faster. Samurai with a knack for counter-attacks might enjoy parrying and countering assaults faster with this Perk. Samurai Unleashed gives 15-percent reduction to Class Abilities, enabling the Samurai to enjoy better passive healing from the Spirit Pull. This Perk works best for Samurai who want to boost their defensive abilities.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Perk 2: Avoid Lightning Reflexes<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Most pro players know that parrying strikes and dodging powerful attacks become the first steps to chaining powerful combos<\/a>. And in the case of the\u00a0Legends<\/em>‘ Samurai, players need to remaster the art of dodging or parrying against multiple enemies. In this regard, players should try to avoid Lightning Reflexes, the Perk that allows Samurai to use block in order to parry incoming arrows. Unfortunately, Lightning Reflexes encourages staying stationary instead of\u00a0looking out for attacks from the archer’s allies.<\/p>\n

Instead, Samurai should consider Critical Defense or Resolve Increase. After all, Critical Defense increases the Samurai’s window to parry and dodge attacks when in low health, giving them a chance to retreat. Resolve Increase allows them to do better Techniques to control the flow of battle.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Perk 3: Stay Away From Legendary<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

A Samurai cannot be defined by his equipment. Granted, in\u00a0Legends<\/em>, the Legendary Perk allows the Samurai to carry one more Legendary item\u00a0\u2014 which can become a lifesaver, depending on the artifact. However, players should consider prioritizing choosing Heavenly Strike or Hachiman’s Frenzy. The downside of Legendary lies in the need to procure useful Legendaries in the first place. This encourages reliance on Legendary items instead of mastering Techniques first.<\/p>\n

With Deep Strikes, Samurai can focus on pummeling down heavily-armored foes that might impede the team’s progress<\/a>. That’s because this Perk lets Samurai perform an unblockable strike. Hachiman’s Frenzy adds two extra strikes to the blazing Hachiman’s Fury, letting the Ultimate tear through various foes in quick succession.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Ultimate: Target Wisely<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Granted, using Hachiman’s Fury becomes a fun way of hacking through an enemy wave quickly. However, the fast-paced Ultimate works best as a deterrent against stronger foes instead of being a mere wave finisher. In that regard, players should best reserve Hachiman’s Fury against\u00a0Legends<\/em>‘ much stronger foes, such as Oni Brutes and Oni Defenders.<\/p>\n

Samurai shouldn’t neglect the mobile potential of Hachiman’s Fury. Remember, Samurai become almost invincible while Ultimates like Hachiman’s Fury is undergoing its animation. Ergo, Samurai can use this Ultimate to get out of sticky situations by choosing their last target as someone far-off the area.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Ghost Weapon 1: Slow Versus Stagger<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As with Perks, Ghost Weapons in\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>remain extremely situational, but never solely kept by the Ghost-like Assassin<\/a>. All Classes in\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>have access to Ghost Weapons that can augment their playstyles. In the case of the first Ghost Weapon, Samurai should choose based on their combat approach.<\/p>\n

For instance, Samurai who want to focus on more defensive roles should pair their Spirit Pull with the Sticky Bomb. With it, Samurai can stun a group of enemies for a tactical retreat. Samurai who prefer to make things explosive may appreciate the Kunai. Explosive Blade paired with additional Kunai can stagger opponents long enough for Samurai to land explosive killing blows.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Ghost Weapon 2: Reposition Versus Healing<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Comparatively, the Samurai’s second Ghost Weapon should supplement their first Ghost Weapon of choice. That way, the Samurai can have more than one option at hand should they want a tactical approach in combat. For instance, Samurai can pair their Sticky Bombs with Caltrops. These two Ghost Weapons, when paired, can damage enemies enough to siphon delicious health with Spirit Pull.<\/p>\n

Samurai with a more aggressive approach should pair their Kunai with the Healing Gourd. Theoretically, a Samurai relying on Explosive Blade will likely have a lot of offensive Perks\u00a0\u2014 meaning, a Healing Gourd can give them a breather they need for quick healing.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Melee Is Key<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite the option to use the Half-Bow as a ranged weapon, Samurai should always remember to keep their fighting in melee. They should leave the ranged fighting to the Hunters<\/a>. Due to the nature of their abilities, the Samurai functions best as a frontline melee fighter, particularly a Tank.<\/p>\n

In this regard, Charms should remain focused on damage boosts in order to augment the power of their Spirit Pull. Katanas should focus on extra abilities such as having fire attributes to give attacks that much-needed spice to rake up the damage. Moreover, despite the build, Samurai should never focus too much on hitting enemies. As a Tank, their primary objective is to soak in aggro while the rest of the team eliminates the wave with their own specialized tactics.<\/p>\n
