DPS Ronin Build "Ghost Striker" | Ghost of Tsushima Rivals Legends Director's Cut

[@Dannydarko27]

I like how my Samurai with blessed bombs heals other players more than the ronins I've been encountering in survival

[@GooshyG]

😂 it’s not a ronins “job” to heal. With this update, every single class has multiple ways to heal. You can’t go into a game expecting someone else to heal you. Granted, this is a RIVALS BUILD. Survival is different. I def throw on healing incense and group heal.

@@DiZtheJedi if you need a ronin, then just stay in gold lol

[@KlyosXA]

We are doing our mastery challenges and most of them involve picking up downed allies. So we are letting you bleed for the challenges and revenge/personal amusement. If you cannot complete anything without a Ronin as your handicap, you're not as good as you think.

[@conflicc5505]

I dont like healing with my ronin ult only because 2 seconds later someone goes down and now you have to manually revive them

[@Dennisdpr12]

i’m glad, now i can finally play a fire ronin build without teammates who need to be constantly healed or revived, they can do it themselves

[@yonipele]

You can go with poison blade instead of burning blade, it synergise with the special ability of the stone striker

[@EhpicPlays]

FIRSTTTTTT BITTCCHHHHH! Love the build bro! Acutally INSANE!

[@GooshyG]

Aaayyyeeeee! Thanks dawg

[@Jojotheprocrastinator]

Makes no sense that the ronin charm doesn't have boosts for ghost weapon damage lol but great build will likely try this out

[@nickyukvn]

Ronin charm list and assassin is already too long to read, they have many properties to cover that's why

[@CatJuiceSays]

True I tried the legendary charm with ghost weapon damage it doesn't stack up at all

[@Jojotheprocrastinator]

@@nickyukvn that's still strange considering Ronin's boosts is all I'm saying. I see it from your pov, but a little text shrink would've been okay. No one will die from reading. If you ask me ghost weapon damage should be on utility charm instead of stealth. Unless the blowgun is also considered a ghost weapon not sure on those specifics.

[@joeyjones9041]

@@Jojotheprocrastinator I think he is referring to rolling perks taking too much time/honor to get what you want because there's so many possible outcomes on those charms.

[@Jojotheprocrastinator]

Yo thanks for this build, I’ve been a Ronin main since day one, and it wrecks in Rival! I can hang with Samurai & Hunters using the gourd

[@GooshyG]

Yeesssir! Loving it.

[@KorbanDallas1914]

Strong build right there!good job with this one m8. other option would be stealth charm with status effect dmg +fire dmg and firemaster +resolve increase. Add the fire ult to it and it will melt them in no time. The stack with ronin's new fire ability is just crazy.

[@pongknuckle8933]

Cool, I used the same Spirit Kunai approach stacking status effect and Ghost Weapon dmg on the Hunter for endless Explosive Arrow

[@GooshyG]

Dude! I have to try that on hunter. It’s sounds crazy good

[@nickyukvn]

On Hunter, instead of focus on aim and getting quick resolve, u have to lower enemies health in order to finish them off with Kunai, then u can shoot Explosive arrow once they group? The process seems complicated

[@HoopleHeadUSA]

TIP: Go into Gold Survival solo to work on Mastery Challenges (if possible). At each point when you start there will be a bunch of dudes, ez kills! Got my poisoned challenge and others super quick there

[@GooshyG]

Oh yup! Spirit kunai ftw!

[@pure_chaoz9736]

I think Ronin can have at least 1 more build with Animal healing, max ghost dam is not the way anymore

[@SU.66]

@@nickyukvn the problem is that no one depends on ronin healing anymore so it is useless to heal as ronin

[@joeyjones9041]

Black Powder Bombs, then Flaming Roar, then Kunai what's left. On the really gnarly boss waves Fire Breath or Staggering Breath can be your ace in the hole. Works amazingly for survival. I think Rivals can be another animal altogether depending on the map and if you know where the groups spawn.

[@Mr.Erikstad]

Even though both ronin and samurai is in a bit of an identity crisis right now this build slaps and it did before the update aswell. Before the update I'd just use sticky and of course the healing incense.

[@GooshyG]

Hell yeah it slaps !

[@havoc501arc]

Instead of running burning blade I put on water instead to give a lot of versatility. Great vid helped a lot for rivals

[@BAThePickle]

Munitions is an option for caltrops too

[@sunniedunbar6889]

I've been really enjoying the Ronin since the update. Been using heavenly rebuke charm and the new fire ability and the new gourd for more lightning powered heavenly strikes 🙂. I keep my healing ult for emergencies,which the gourd helps with as well. So much fun. Nice build by the way. Enjoying your ghost content.

Ult damage + ghost weapon damage with the new ult rocks! I use the legendary caltrops to weaken as well. New ult oneshots everything except oni and the bigger guys

[@CrackyTheWizard]

Finally a good ronin build let's goooooo

[@GooshyG]

Hell yeah! Bringing ronin back into the meta!

[@TheVDaddyo]

Yo Gooshy... here’s some followup. I tried your ghost striker ronin build lastnt, and like it quite a bit. I was concerned re: NO healing (except health regen on stealth charm + increased self healing by 50%), HOWEVER I’ve found that it is plenty healing for me... PLUS I’m much more mobile (no sitting in one place at incense pot) & allows me to focus on *offense* (like Hunter) and not defense!! This allows quite a refreshingly more aggressive playstyle for Ronin (which I like... since *everyone* can heal now!). Requires very specific playstyle/strategy... *especially* throwing ALL your ghost weapons out there *before* using your spirit kunai to get them all back... this is KEY !! Much more effective offensively 😎. And the crazy thing is... never missed my smoke/munitions?! Thx

[@GooshyG]

Ayyyeee. Glad you like it! It def rewards you the more aggressive you play

[@MrJgormley]

I'm so used to saving everyone's ass as a Ronin, now you want me to be the offensive power house?! 🤔🤔 I might have to check this build out. I'm not sure if I have the Stone Striker sword though. I'm normally using a water sword..also, I noticed you jump a lot during combat. I guess this helps when larger enemies strike the ground, I've never tried that I'm normally rolling away, which takes me out of the action and I have to awkwardly try and come back to it. I'm going to have to try that too! Thanks man!

[@nabaker25]

Would be nice if you update this build per the 2.18 patch.

[@_Soturno]

Thanks

[@reiniersoralde103]

As much as I do agree that the ultimate where the ronin weakens is annoying when it blasts everyone away, I use a build where it revolves around it. I have a charm that has super impactful and fire master where I set them all on fire with flaming roar then use the ultimate to weaken everyone killing most enemies and finish the rest off with the legendary spirit kunai with super massive and hidden blade reseting my flaming roar and then I have enough resolve for my ult again. I think it's a pretty neat build and what's good is that the ultimate causes all enemies including purple oni and brutes to be blasted and be affected by the super impactful so I can use critical strike on them or just to stall them out for my spirit kunai. In public games tho I use healing incense and use black powder bombs. I think it's a pretty nice build that focuses on a new ultimate that is kind of overshadowed by fire ronin and ghost weapon ronin but is still pretty decent and different play style too!

I really feel like suckerpunch needs to buff up the resources we get because I run out of all 3 now because it's so expensive to get that perfect build. I just don't have the time to grind endless hours for minimal rewards and resources. I sure hope in the coming months we get more dlc for legends because I am not a fan of rivals and the new chapter 3 raid. I would like brand new raids and gear 120 for rewards. As well as newer modes and new missions for everything in the game.

I personally enjoy samurai more because you don't need to look for ammo refills all the time. Samurai can do major aoe damage with his new fire ability and every now and then add some black fire bombs

Combat Regeneration unfortunately does not effect Quick Regen.

[@sneaksgeeks9008]

Would there be any benefit using the heavenly rebuke charm in place of stone striker with this Ronin?

[@GooshyG]

Def is a good alternative. But the charm properties can’t have fire damage and status effect damage. So with heavenly rebuke you’d have to run oni dmg and status damage. Not as high high but will def buff your concussion bombs and HS

[@sirswifty4640]

@@GooshyG also afaik, the charm does not give you the extra damage to staggered enemies. (you know, the ghost stance kill animations from singleplayer) I've just tried it a few a times, but if you have to choose between the Stone Striker and the Heavenly Rebuke as a legendary - I would always go for the sword because of that. great build, Gooshy. keep up the good work. I've been using something similar for ages now aswell. Us ronin mains need to get back in there with the new update ;D

I’m gonna have to lab this. I just ran a match and got my ass handed to me. No other health other than combat regen is rough going.

Haha yeah it get a while to get used to playing around drums and ammo stations to regain health. Def try using the smoke. Smoke automatically triggers the combat regen

Given the fact that Heavenly Strike costs 1 resolve per use, wouldn't it be better to go for Resolve Increase rather than Quick Regen for perk 2?
