Ghost of Tsushima - Legend of the Ghost Fire & Fear Build - [End Game]

[@mercy3106]

I highly recommend changing the powder bomb charm too dual of destruction. With the fortune charmed. Its an 80 percent chance too do double damage

[@monoespacial]

That's a really good suggestion!

[@Dioliolio]

How is it 80%? What’s the charm setup?

@Nikhil Trivedi you level up your legend, don't know which level but it's pretty high

[@samuraiedge9761]

I fucking love how this game was designed. The gameplay and story in the first and second act seamlessly makes you wanna be honorable when possible but also do what you have to do when needed. The 3rd act turns you into an unstoppable killing machine that has nothing more to lose. The evolving gameplay that ties into the story makes it so you never get bored. It also makes sense for your character to do the side quests and they are all satisfying and rewarding.

[@ethanthomas3286]

monoespacial yeah this video has made me decide to get the game hands down!

[@Slade1135]

This was a fun build. I used something like it quite a bit in Act III on my first run. The charms from Iki Island really start making it crazy with fear options. Lately I've been going with: Ikazuchi-no-Kami (+25% fear chance) Versatile Skills [double the effects of minor charms, provided the charm is the only one in its category (melee, ranged, defense, stealth, utility)] Steadfast Fire (melee, increases duration of Way of the Flame) Fire Doctrine (stealth, 15% chance to terrify when burning an enemy) Fortune II (utility, any effect with a % chance to occur has that chance increased 50%) Terrifying Aim (ranged, 30% chance to terrify an enemy when getting a headshot kill) Once I get enough silk to upgrade the Ghost armor again, its fear-on-kill chance will rise to 40% before modifiers. The Fortune charm being doubled by Versatile Skills should be giving a 100% increase. 0.4 base chance * 1.25 Ikazuchi * 2 Fortune = 1. So fear-on-kill should rise to 100% if I'm understanding right. Right now I'm sitting at about 75% even without the upgrade to the armor, so it's helpful. Meanwhile the Aim charm charm has its 30% chance increased to 60% thanks to Versatile Skills. 0.6 base chance * 1.25 Ikazuchi * 2 Fortune = 1.5. Since 150% chance is a bit overkill, I know that using Concentration to line up the occasional headshot kill is a good way to get the dominos rolling if I'm having trouble getting procs. Having Fire Doctrine get doubled to 30% chance from Versatile Skills helps get it started. 0.3 base chance * 1.25 Ikazuchi * 2 Fortune = 0.75. So it has the same 75% chance that my currently unfinished Ghost armor does. Steadfast Fire with Versatile Skills ends up having the oil last a bit over 30 seconds or so from what I've seen. So far I've only used a second dose on one drawn out encounter. The way I've seen things go is generally me gathering people up, lighting one on fire with flaming arrow (or several with explosive), then jumping in to execute any downed enemies. Turn on way of flame and just go to town. The constant high-chance fear events just have most of the enemies running away or getting impaled while on the ground. I seldom have need to do a headshot, but it's nice to know I have the backup option.

[@Organicwatermelon123]

I made this samurai build last night Appearance: Sarugami armor Samurai clan helmet (red dye) Glowering warrior mask And the build: Sarugami armor: makes perfect parries and perfect dodge's more deadly Charm of susanoo: staggered enemies have a 30% chance to be knocked down Charm of mizu no kami: perfect parries and perfect dodge's are easier to perform Charm of broken barriers: breaking an enemies guard gives you 15% resolve Fortune 1: perks and abilities with % are 50% not likely to occur Resolve 1: 15% plus resolve gains Resolve 2: 25% plus resolve gains It's a very fun combat build for a ruthless samurai Gameplay and cinematic gameplay as well

@@Organicwatermelon123 I can see how that'd be fun to use. There is also a charm that increases the duration of status effects. Stagger happens to be a status effect.

[@Organicwatermelon123]

@@Slade1135 no I don't think I have it but on the internet you can find a list of all the charms

[@cosmic2750]

Heads up: the DLC charms make this even stronger. You get a charm to extend your chain assassination to four, for example. I don’t remember if that charm is exclusive, but there’s also a charm that makes it so that now you no longer lose your entire Ghost Stance bar when you get hit, only one tick. All of these combined make this build just that much stronger.

[@Staples673]

Personally I like to swap the charms of incineration and enduring affliction for the charms of silence and inari's might, the fox den charms because they make steath and sword play much easier too, and it makes it kind of like a terrifying samurai build.

[@rottensquid]

This is fantastic. I love how the build becomes an extension of the story. If they get around to the movie, and it actually follows the game's story, this should be what he becomes at the end. Except, of course, you don't want your lead actor wearing a hat like that in act three.

[@markwheeler4245]

Uh the dapple horse is the best bro! Spotty grey looks mint 👌🏻😁

[@ragnarX4]

This is exactly my endgame build! By far my favorite build. Usually my black powder bomb kills 3 enemies and terrify the rest, and if the rest don't run, one flame arrow will terrify the rest. It's specially hilarious when you encounter a large mongol groups, oh the screams! 🤣👹. For 🔥 and terrify, I couldn't find any way to make this build better. It's just boring that i can't enjoy this build on larger enemy camps in end game -_-. Enduring affliction could be changed for charm of inari's might if you like to go in close though.

[@monoespacial]

That's awesome! Yeah I really wish there was some way to replay missions of some sort of challenge fortresses of some sort. Also the AI needs to react as a whole in forts. To often kill 5 or 6 and have a guy 20m away not even blink.

[@ragnarX4]

[@monoespacial]

Hey man, glad you're enjoying it. It's really a fun build to mess around with.

[@monoespacial]

PSA: I might be wrong with the math but in any case it is a wild % chance of enemies being terrified. Let me know what you think of the build!

[@SideBackFlip]

Haha! This cracked me up. I have been confused about how the math of the charms works because there isn't really a way of knowing without a lot of testing. So when you went straight into "now let's do the math" I was saying to myself "what the heck how can he possibly know this?" A lot of the stats that the armor and charms give are a bit vague and confusing. Your math is probably at least somewhat near what the game's is. It's a cool build and a great video regardless. Nice job!

[@shomarc]

I interpreted the math differently. I think of the 2 charms of fortune as doubling any % effect. So with one you would get 50% ie if you had no other charms and say the ghost armor you would have 30% (from the ghost armor) + 50% of that 30% from charm of fortune which would be 15% so would equal a 45% chance. With 2 charms of fortune you would therefore double all % effects so I'd do the math as (30% × 2) + (25% × 2) = 110%. Of course just my guess.

The new charm that makes the Way of the Flame Heavy attacks spread to nearby enemies seems like a cool add. There is also a new charm that makes Way of the Flame last longer but ita probably not needed in a build intending to use terrify.

[@jacksonyoung6245]

The charm of Steadfast fire would be useful since the way of the flame lasts longer which could allow you to terrify enemies longer

Awesome build, I am extremely late but really enjoying this game and can’t wait to try this. I am hoping to find my second charm of Fortune real soon.

[@lambo2655]

My build is similar but I went more stealth. I used the same armour and charms to increase terrify but I use poison more eg. chimes & arrows. So I can take out enemy camps faster and remain unseen. The build also works great on Stand offs. After killing the first three in the chain the rest of the group usually runs off scared :)

love this build, i set it up with the ghost armor. cant wait to show this on my videos soon ^_^ nice work

[@anubrakahn2970]

I did the same but replaced enduring affliction with another fire doctrine to really max out the terrify %. They stack. The total is either 75% or 85% on kill and another 75% or 85% on burn. This is higher on techniques like heavenly strike and another modifier is added to parries from the last unlockable from the parry tree.

I modified the build a little bit by just changing incineration to ghostly fury so you can get more ghost attacks and less chance for them to get rid of ghost stance

you picked the right horse! I did choose it because it was way less polished and glamorous. In real life it would be probably a nice and loyal horse from the looks of it 😉

[@mcarr416ix]

If you don't use the black powder bombs often just use two fire doctrine charms to increase the chances of fire terrifying even more!

[@hajoon381]

You can switch the charm of incineration with the charm of inari's might.

[@mr.wideman2006]

Do you think the charm of ghostly fury would fit with the build (can kill 1 more enemy in ghost stance, getting hit only reduces the kill count by 1)

Yes, definitely. That would probably make it more consistent.

The worse? The Dapple horse is the best! The black horse is typical and cliche(not to mention the most picked and therefore boring). The white horse is bland and boring(No hate, my first horse irl was all white). The Dapple has all different shades of grey with some black and white throughout the tail and mane. From a visual design point, it’s the most well done out of the three standard horses.

[@wesleysmallwood413]

Consider replacing Incineration with Blazing Flame. Also, replace a Charm of Fortune with Charm of the Lost Mind. Instead of opening up with a chain assassination, hit a leader or brute with a hallucination dart. Be me, Mongol grunt: Brute rampaging through camp, wtf is wrong with this guy? My leader is decapitated by a literal shadow as my buddy starts choking to death in front of me. A cloud of smoke surrounds my friends, they die burning in agony. The Ghost of Tsushima emerges from the night. Flaming sword. Face of a demon. . . Fuck this, I'm out.

[@hwbierce6548]

Maybe I missed it, but when making a video about a specific armor set, it might be a good idea to mention how to get the armor, and that you have to wait until act 3 to get it.

[@anarchy3960]

Wouldnt kensei armour be better?

[@monoespacial]

No. You'd be trading the ability to spam Ghost Stance and the 30% chance to terrify enemies, which is basically an insta-kill, for 30% more Ghost Weapon damage, which isn't an insta-kill and won't make a difference most of the time. Then there's a debuff to enemy damage that you don't need since everyone will be too busy running away or dying. The 30% increased resolve gain is good, but so is reducing the Ghost Stance requirement from 7 to 5 once Ghost Armor is fully upgraded.

[@joelgarcia3907]

Um…math formula isn’t written correctly. But I think what he meant was 25% of 30 = 7.5. Add that to 30 = 37.5. Then 50% of that is 18.75. 37.5 plus 37.5 and add another 50% to that = the 84 he mentioned. Is that how the game stacks it up?

[@monoespacial]

Yeah, the math is something I'm not sure about, but at least in terms of gameplay, almost all enemies will flee if you fire someone up.

[@xjjkx4719]

Cant fight the Person to trigger the fire Talisman quest

[@phuocduong2796]

I don’t understand how he got around 85% chance to terrify enemies if he do the calculations, which surprised me. I tried doing the same calculations on my calculator and got way different than around 85%. I did 30%*(1+25%)*2(1+50%) on my calculator, but I got over 100% as a result. Either the math was wrong or I’m doing it wrong idk.

[@monoespacial]

The way I wrote the equation is wrong. It should be 0.3*1.25*1.5*1.5. Basically I take the 30% change and multiply it by 125%, 150% and 150% again. This approach might be wrong but the 85% I arrive at seems representative of what I see in game. The reason I start with 30% but then multiply by 125% (instead of 25%) is because obviously doing so would decrease the %, not increase it.

New game plus gives everything an extra upgrade making it 40% + 25% + 50%x2 which equals 112% this isn’t even including the fire doctrine charm
