If you want the best chance at surviving your journey through the treacherous environments and encounters with fierce Mongols found on the island of Tsushima created by Sucker Punch, you're going to need to know what skills and techniques are the most effective. The protagonist of the story you will be embodying, Jin, is able to hone his abilities by spending points earned through expanding their legend meter by completing missions and objectives. But, with such a wide array of techniques to chose from in the 3 distinct ability trees, knowing which will be the most valuable to a new player can seem overwhelming. No one wants to waste points on skills that turn out to be useless in the long run, so here are the best techniques to choose from each style to make you truely embody the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima

The first set of techniques fall under the 'Samurai' label. As you may have guessed, these skills are all about improving Jin's combat abilitiꦯes. This section is further broken down into deflection, evasion, and mythic. Right off the bat you'll want to prioritize the two parry techniques, the sword parry and the unyielding spear parry. These allow you to do just what you'd expect, parry sword and spear attacks that are otherwise unblockable. Normally these unblockable attacks are indicated as a red attack, but will become blue once these skills are unlocked to let you know they can be countered.

A second samurai skill you'll want to have at your disposal as early as possible is the perfect dodge. Dodging is always done by pressing the circle button, but adding this skill puts a nice bonus on top of already avoiding damage. Similar to character action games like Bayonetta, dodging at the last possible moment with this technique unlocked will trigger a moment of slow mꦰotion where Jin avoids the enemy attack and counters with his own. What makes this so useful is that it triggers automatically, meaning that if you're already dodging on instinct, having this skill just further rewards your good play.

Moving on to stance techniques, these impro꧂ve each stance Jin can take to better fight different enemy types. There are four main stances that are unlocked by either witnessing or killing Mongol leaders at the many camps found in the game. You should focus on unlo♏cking them all right away to make sure you always have a stance you can use to counter whatever enemy challenges you.

As far as spending points on your stances, dumping points straight into strength of mountains until it is maxed out right away. This♏ tree is best suited for sword on sword combat, which is particularly useful when most of the game's bosses come in the form of duels with sword wielders. The main benefit you'll notice this tree gives you is the increase in staggerജ damage you deal. That in turn allows you to break their posture faster, and thus making victory that much easier.

Finally, we reach the ghost techniques. These skills are all about Jin's ghost weapons you trigger with the R1 button, with more unlocking every time your legend meter goes up. A simple, 🍷but certainly effective, upgrade to start with is the serrated blades. These make your thrown kunai deal twice their base damage. While not very flashy or exciting on the surface, the ease at which you can dish out kunai make them a useful tool in nearly every situation, so giving them this awesome damage buff is definitely worth your time.

For situations where things aren't going so well, you will want to make sure to grab the healing increase technique to recover some health with your smoke bombs. Naturally smoke bombs are a great way to cover your escape in a dangerous situation, but with the healing buff you cꦏan also get back into the action quicker by healing up at the same time. And, if you're more of the offensive type, smoke bombs can also be a great tool to temporarily interrupt enemies during combat and open them up to assassination, all while healing Jin in the process.
