Rise of the Ronin - Starter Combat Guide

Thank you Playstation for sending a copy of Rise of the Ronin.
A little late, but better than never. Here`s my first video guide for Rise of the Ronin, starting with a beginner tutorial on how to start improving in combat! Throughout this video, we will be learning the core aspect of RotR gameplay by understanding how the mechanics work. Hopefully, I can work my way on making more guides and montages after playing the game this time.

Patch (17 april 2024) -Violent Gale is faster to use and can now be canceled by Martial skills, but not blade flash (same for flash attack). -Grappling hook (air) faster animation.

[@BWX4]

Hot damn. This is what I was hoping to get a long time ago, if Sony allowed Team Ninja to put out a demo. A certain cowpoke might have been more open-minded, if this type of showcase about this game's depth existed a month or so ago~!

[@davidtsmith33]

I see what you did there.

[@SomeUnkindledAsh]

LtL is GOATED once again. Excellent video. I also appreciated having a voiced narration.

[@Noodle10-ss9nj]

Waiting for the combo mad video brother.

[@terrorblegamez]

Iv been waiting for this, your nioh 2 tuts helped me out during my nioh 2 playthrough :D :D

[@brucelam115]

First of all, Fantabulous guide as per usual, Second of all, CONGRATS on getting sponsored (kinda) by sony!!!!! U deserve it my budddy!!!!

[@davidtsmith33]

Excellent research, testing and very informative. Liked and Bookmarked.

[@Z11004]

Glad your back good guide.

[@KaioKevin93]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. As a nioh vet, I put points into flash attack out of habit and thought I would be maximizing dmg in my combos but you have opened my eyes. The synergy of a hardswap instead of transition attack is a MASSIVE tip, great video as always

[@nizzynick9298]

Keep up the awesome work man 👍

[@Xelod93]

That was amazing guide Sacred! Very good job Man!

[@LasttoLoad]

No problem!

[@cartoonvideos5]

This was an excellent video

[@MasterNinjaRyu]

Interesting and very useful guide, great job ^^

[@LasttoLoad]

Hey thank you!

[@BboySquidfoot]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@hoshinoarts]

Thank you so much!!

[@kbeezy32]

Thanks man. This is really helpful. I didnt level the flash attack to make switching weapons way more fluid. You lose stats but gain way more sauce in the combs

[@LasttoLoad]

Glad it helps! this method definitely opens more options playing the game.

[@nh_nomad]

thanks

[@Abod_420]

good ASMR video

[@LostConjugate]

While having an advantage in stance makes no noticeable difference in damage or Ki damage received, some sources are stating that it makes a massive difference in Ki damage applied to your opponent. Great guide!

[@LasttoLoad]

where is that source

[@LostConjugate]

@@LasttoLoad Having trouble replying with links but Gamesradar is one source and Reddit is another.

[@thebuddah1253]

Tips on dealing with multiple enemies at once would be appreciated

[@AJ_Psycho]

When is walking and jumping tutorial? 🤔 Good vid btw, doing great man 👍

[@LasttoLoad]

ಠ_ಠ ಠ_ಠ

[@thebuddah1253]

Can you turn violent gale off?

[@LasttoLoad]

unfortunately no

[@jeffreyhodes]

gibe more parry frames plz TN

[@LasttoLoad]

yep, frame parry feels as strict as wolong demo lol

[@wallacesousuke1433]

How about, keep the parry frames tight, but make the game not revolve around it, you know like both Nioh games.. Crazy, right? Team NinJOKE prefers to rip off Sekiro/From games than to stay true to their roots, spineless studio, and now they are after the casual audience lol screw their niche and traditional target audience I guess

[@basara_1175]

is the parry like sekiro or like wo long?

[@LasttoLoad]

Feels like Wo long old demo parry frames

[@LasttoLoad]

As i played further, I noticed a combat style with counterspark having higher frames than others.

[@thebuddah1253]

Violent gale not being cancelable with counterspark is a terrible idea

[@donlalo7079]

Much appreciated, SENSEI ! 🫡

[@meowmeow16119]

Ok you convinced me to get rid of the flash attack skill lol. Awesome works as usual 🫡

[@kbeezy32]

Me too. Although you lose the skills point in the strength category and can only max it out to around 96. Honestly tho it make switching weapon way more fluid and I'm find way more flexibility in the combat Note my skills tree is completely maxed out so I did the blade repair kit thing so I could get rid flash attack.
