How to play the rising novice of the ronin

Early game focus

1. Be familiar with basic operations

Combat operations: Practice normal attack, defense, dodge and "Stone Fire" bounce (key survival skills). 

Explore operations: Learn to use hooks to climb, ride horse movement and fast teleportation.

2. Prioritize the promotion of the main line

In the early stage, follow the main task to unlock core functions (such as hidden tea room, genre skill tree), and be familiar with the basic rules of the game world.

3. Choose the right difficulty

Newbie recommends choosing the "Day" difficulty (normal difficulty), and then challenge the "Night" difficulty (hard mode) after getting familiar with it.

Fighting Skills

1. Master the "Stone Fire" rebound

Press the defense key to instantly trigger the bounce and reverse. After successful, it can interrupt the enemy's combo and cause hard straightness.  

Practice object: Find low-level enemies (such as ronin soldiers) to practice and gradually master the rhythm.

2. Genre selection and switching

In the early stage, it is recommended to use "Beichen One-Sword Flow" (balanced) or "Mirror Heart Wisdom Flow" (Long Spear, Large Range).  

Press the arrow keys to switch genres during battle and output them against enemy weaknesses.

3. Power Management

Attack, dodge, and defense will consume energy (energy bar), and if you run out of energy, you will fall into a hard straight.  

Quickly restore your strength through "Cancel Heart" (remove the knife in time after attack) or skills.

4. Use ranged weapons

Long-range weapons such as muskets, bows and arrows can sneak attack the enemy or interrupt powerful moves, especially for boss battles.

Exploration and Tasks

1. Liberate the "Hidden Tea Room"

The tea room is the core base of the game, providing functions such as fast teleportation, task pickup, and store. Priority unlocks the tea room on the map (blue Torii icon).

2. Collect "Monuments of Glory"

The luminous stone tablet on the map provides rewards such as skill points, equipment, etc., and collecting along the way can quickly enhance the character.

3. Be cautious when acting at night

The number of enemies increases at night and the elite monsters is refreshed. In the early stage, it is recommended to adjust through the bonfire to the day before exploring.

Role Growth

1. Recommended attributes with points

Body (physical constitution): Priority is added to 15 points to ensure basic survival ability.

Heart (power): Sub-priority is added to 20 points, supporting continuous dodging and attack.

Add "skill" (critical/agility) or "force" (heavy weapon damage) in the middle.

2. Skill tree unlocking order

General combat system: Remaining Heart Strengthening → Reduced Dodge Consumption → Ranged Weapons Increase Damage.

School exclusive system: The first active skill of the main use of the school (such as Beichenliu "Juhezhan").

Equipment and Props

1. Weapon selection

In the early stage, you can use the purple weapon given by the system, and give priority to strengthening to +3. Select "Strength Damage" or "Increase Damage to Stun".

2. Consumables

Medicine pot: bring at least 3 automatic recovery medicines, and save your life in battle.

Gunpowder pot: throw when a group battle or boss falls to the ground, which is extremely cost-effective.

Antidote: Fight against the fog area and ninja enemies.

Boss Battle Strategy

1. Observation and Learning

When facing a boss for the first time, first observe his moves and record the number of attack forward shake and combo.

2. Bounce and output

Focus on bounces against bosses with 1 to 2 high threat skills, and other moves are handled with dodge.

When the boss enters the shaken state, he will output with full force and cooperate with long-range weapons to repair the damage.

3. Environmental utilization

Some boss battlegrounds have explosive barrels, cliffs or poison pools. Tempting bosses to get close can significantly reduce their health.
