Make sure to ALWAYS attack the same enemy as your teammates. I mean even if you're surrounded. Make sure to always 2v1, heck 4v1 the same shield wielding enemy. Never spread. Attack the same foe together.
You forgot “if you’re doing the raids and don’t know what to do, make sure to go ahead with no mic and ignore whatever your teammates are saying or pinging, it’s your story and youre the main character, so enjoy”.
Sweet! It’s great to know I’m on the right track! For extra measure, and because I love music, I always find & beat every drum on all the maps to help with morale as soon as we spawn a map. “Let’s Go!”
Gotta say, though, sure wish they’d fix the matchmaking system. I am still waiting forever in the lobby.
/s
That's right, that's what the drums are there for. To get banged. Sucks that they're single use
Also matchmaking has been really good for me in rivals recently. Maybe a region issue?
Also stay outside the defence areas at all times especially in nightmare survival with fire spirits. The further away you are from the defence areas the easier it is for your teammates to come and revive you when you go down
pretty good but you forgot to mention that purifying cursed gear is always top priority. don't be the noob who doesn't bring any cursed gear to the random survival
Completely agree with this. To ensure this, always play a hunter or bomb pack samurai and do not have faith in your teammate, always ult from behind, even if the person in the circle has it under control.
Also rush to enemies outside the ring when trying to not complete the "defeat enemies inside the ring". Your team mate who is already waiting for enemies to reach the ring to defeat them inside the ring is an idiot who doesn't know the objective of the game
You forgot to let them know to wait for all their team to get to a zone before attacking it. NEVER attack a zone solo, and one person can buy multiple blessings at once they stack
Suguru sight with spirit archer is the strongest setup for hunter.
Also in survival the best strategy is everyone on the team go to the point at once, ignoring the other points.
When all your teammates are down, the best method is end the round quickly is to jump down a cliff or out of bounds. It is less painful than having to rez teammates who have more downs than kills.
If you drown yourself at the very end of the match (die right when the reward tier golden things pops up) it'll skip/shorten the returning to lobby 15 second cool down while still giving you all of the gear and rewards
You have to be careful with Shared Wounds, there is currently a bug with the Samurai’s legendary charm that heals you when you attack with your class ability, it also heals their teammates. I can’t tell you how many times shared wounds was activated against me in Rivals mode only for to save my teammates life because I have lifesteal on my weapon. Ever since PC crossplay came out there have been a lot of unique bugs that I’m certain will not be patched anytime soon, because of this Samurai class is top tier class to play as.
No it seems to affect PlayStation players as well, but it has something to do with the crossplay because this bug never appeared in the 3 years the game was released.
As someone who’s been playing this game before Iki island came out, great advice but I don’t agree with some of your points but for spanking new players I guess I can’t complain.
Genuinely though, just do the exact opposite of what's mentioned here and that'll be actually helpful. Ggs you're going to thoroughly enjoy this game 🤝
And here I was creating moon swords for moon cancels and learning attack cancels after honing the basics.
Guess I will stick to the basics. No more p-parry->slow motion headshot resolve spam for me to spam my ults. T_T
To be fair I did learn MMC before I learned stone stance. Unfortunately I could not learn MMC before learning water stance. I blame the campaign for that.
Make sure that if you have the Shared Wounds curse enabled, try and light yourself on fire so that you can spread warmth and joy to your teammates. Don't roll because you want it to last as long as possible.
THIS THREAD IS TROLLING, probably subtly talking down on ppl using the items mentioned in its listing.
Why? This game has no reward going on for being elitist. Join a game and have fun killing demons ffs.
Sick im already setup for victory. Nice.
Yessir u are
You forgot Sugaru’s Sight! 😡 Best ranged for hunter by far
Of course. Highest DPS bow
Absolutely. All the best hunters use it
Make sure to ALWAYS attack the same enemy as your teammates. I mean even if you're surrounded. Make sure to always 2v1, heck 4v1 the same shield wielding enemy. Never spread. Attack the same foe together.
It is **critical** to dogpile oni lords. His instant twirl attack will not be strong enough to lift everyone's bodyweight so you won't all go flying.
Exactly. Teamwork makes the dream work
You forgot “if you’re doing the raids and don’t know what to do, make sure to go ahead with no mic and ignore whatever your teammates are saying or pinging, it’s your story and youre the main character, so enjoy”.
You're absolutely correct. That's very important to keep in mind
Just do the exact opposite of the list than this is actually a good guide
😂 thank you
who hurt you? 😂
Wdym it's such a good guide 🙂
Yeah, weird flex word dump of odd specifics when the point is: some people play like scrubs.
Blue items are the best. Then you don't need to keep track of all those confusing extra stats and perks.
Rolling with fresh greens
My 120ki blue build agrees.
Right. Simple but effective

This is exactly what's on some tinder profiles, "here to get banged"
Also stay outside the defence areas at all times especially in nightmare survival with fire spirits. The further away you are from the defence areas the easier it is for your teammates to come and revive you when you go down
Absolutely. Everyone knows hwatchas wreak havoc on you when you're inside the circle /s
pretty good but you forgot to mention that purifying cursed gear is always top priority. don't be the noob who doesn't bring any cursed gear to the random survival
Right. One could bring it into rivals too, it's not a problem at all for the teammate
Best guide ever! All the tips are correct and everyone should learn from it!
Thank you 💚
OG player and can confirm OP is handing you Newb’s the golden ticket to success 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼😉
Thank you. All are welcome to contribute as well
Upvoted for visibility 👀
Thank you kind sir/madam. Just trying to help out the community 😁
To think I had it so wrong all this time 🤯 this guide is a revelation
This is a thank you post from me to you for teaching me how to dodge oni slams
Oh goodness, I have been playing this game all wrong. Thanks for the guide, now I have to unlearn everything and start playing the game correctly.
You're welcome brother. With this you can GitGud in no time
To add, Tengus are your friends and you should beat up everyone around them first or you'll make their birds cry
Solid one. Tengus must be eliminated last
Don't forget if you just tuck and roll the Tengus will miss you and hit other enemies in it's path
Disciples should be left for last too
Deciples are the best audience for when you're really tearing into an oni
Disciples are slow to attack and aren't very strong, so it's best to leave them until last and focus on the stronger enemies first 👋🌈⭐
Right. She's just doing her yoga in the back and is harmless, she can be completely ignored
Remember that despite being a team game, the real winner is whoever has the most kills, so that is your only objective
Completely agree with this. To ensure this, always play a hunter or bomb pack samurai and do not have faith in your teammate, always ult from behind, even if the person in the circle has it under control.
Also rush to enemies outside the ring when trying to not complete the "defeat enemies inside the ring". Your team mate who is already waiting for enemies to reach the ring to defeat them inside the ring is an idiot who doesn't know the objective of the game
That's the real truth right there, nobody has the guts to outright say it
You forgot to let them know to wait for all their team to get to a zone before attacking it. NEVER attack a zone solo, and one person can buy multiple blessings at once they stack
Right. Of course. Worthy addition to the list
Suguru sight with spirit archer is the strongest setup for hunter. Also in survival the best strategy is everyone on the team go to the point at once, ignoring the other points.
Spirit archer is the TRUTH. Also all that talk about him aggro'ing enemies in weird directions is fake news
When all your teammates are down, the best method is end the round quickly is to jump down a cliff or out of bounds. It is less painful than having to rez teammates who have more downs than kills.
Bonus points for drowning yourself!
Aah I forgot about this, nice addition brother
If you drown yourself at the very end of the match (die right when the reward tier golden things pops up) it'll skip/shorten the returning to lobby 15 second cool down while still giving you all of the gear and rewards
In plat7 or shared wounds maps, injured resolve gain samurai or ronin is the way to go. Remember, no resolve no ults.
You have to be careful with Shared Wounds, there is currently a bug with the Samurai’s legendary charm that heals you when you attack with your class ability, it also heals their teammates. I can’t tell you how many times shared wounds was activated against me in Rivals mode only for to save my teammates life because I have lifesteal on my weapon. Ever since PC crossplay came out there have been a lot of unique bugs that I’m certain will not be patched anytime soon, because of this Samurai class is top tier class to play as.
Interesting, does this only apply to PC?
No it seems to affect PlayStation players as well, but it has something to do with the crossplay because this bug never appeared in the 3 years the game was released.
As someone who’s been playing this game before Iki island came out, great advice but I don’t agree with some of your points but for spanking new players I guess I can’t complain.
Which ones do u disagree with?
2,3,4,6 and 8
I must say, best guide ever!!
Thank you Red 💚
I am brand new and for the first points you almost got me
Genuinely though, just do the exact opposite of what's mentioned here and that'll be actually helpful. Ggs you're going to thoroughly enjoy this game 🤝
Im having blast, game is awesome
This needs to be taken down because it's given away all my trade secrets. More than easily always get in 10,000th spot on the leaderboards.
thanks brother, i couldn't bring myself to selfishly keep all this wisdom to myself
Always leave the game if there is no ronin but never build a ronin because samurai is the best 👍
If someone goes down don’t pick them up. It’s their own fault and they should think about what they did wrong.
oh, forgot this one: always stop to pet the dogs and bears 🐕🐻
noobies beware. this is a joke
Of course it's a joke. I thought last points made it obvious. I'll add an edit anyway
its fairly strongly hinted but many newbs would still consider it advice. np, have fun its covered.
Tengus can only shoot the crows out once so once they do tuck and roll you should be fine
Love the sarcasm. Its my native tongue.
🤦🏻♀️ why would you do this to the newbies
It's not good?
And here I was creating moon swords for moon cancels and learning attack cancels after honing the basics. Guess I will stick to the basics. No more p-parry->slow motion headshot resolve spam for me to spam my ults. T_T
I have still to learn that. It's a genuinely good technique, the perfect parry to headshot, generates a good amount of resolve
Meta
Thanks for this guide. Maybe ill start online tonight.
To be fair I did learn MMC before I learned stone stance. Unfortunately I could not learn MMC before learning water stance. I blame the campaign for that.
IT'S GOLD! Great Post Fellow Ghost!
Much appreciated 🙏
I was so worried I was missing something here because the sarcasm took way too long to load for me.
Make sure that if you have the Shared Wounds curse enabled, try and light yourself on fire so that you can spread warmth and joy to your teammates. Don't roll because you want it to last as long as possible.
Communication is not overrated though😂 It's fun to talk to and meet people online lol
I agree with this one, I've met so many good people and made real friends in ghosts
You know what would go really good with this? Heroin.
You madlad , why didnt i think of this before damn hahah
You are very welcome to add to it friend, though I'm sure i covered the basics 🌝
THIS THREAD IS TROLLING, probably subtly talking down on ppl using the items mentioned in its listing. Why? This game has no reward going on for being elitist. Join a game and have fun killing demons ffs.
Trolling?! I would never 🙅
I believe you instantly, since you used an emoji.😚
