What is The Ronin Class?
In Ancient Japan, a Ronin was a Samurai without a lord or master, which is why inGhost of Tsushima: Legends,a Ronin is just as capable in battle as a Samurai. However, the ability that separates the Ronin from the rest of the classes is its ability to revive players instantly. Of course, in a co-op game, the healer is one of the most vital members of any party, given that a quick revive could mean life and death in the heat of battle. Moreover, the most important factor why many players are choosing the Ronin among the rest is its Ultimate.
Ronin Class Abilities and Equipment
As previously mentioned, players who are efficient in playing the role as a support character would most definitely feel right at home with the Ronin. Given its importance to any party,the Ronin is given a series of buffs and nerfsthat are scattered around a wide-range of skillset that players can utilize in every enemy encounter. Having the ability to control the effectiveness of ally attacks while being able to damper down the critical strikes of enemies is certainly the best skill a good Ronin should have.
Heading over to equipment, the Ronin Class utilizes the Kunai and Smoke Bombs, making them perfect for stunning enemies allowing other team members to make an effective offense. Moreover,the Ronin also has a unique skill called the Spirit Animal, which allows players to summon a friendly dog for a short amount of time. Now, for those who are interested in the full skillset of the Ronin, here is a breakdown of each of them and what they do.
Is The Ronin The Right Class For You?
Overall, the Ronin Class is the best one for those players who wish to play the role as the primary support for the party. It’s best skill is Breath of Izanami, which could come in handy during a tough battle given its ability to revive all downed allies. Moreover, one of the best abilities that makes the Ronin an essential part of the team is its ability to buff the skills and abilities of allies, while weakening the attack of nearby enemies. However, it is important to note that given all the abilities and skills that the Ronin must utilize perfectly, it is probably not the best class to pick for beginner players or those who wish to serve as the primary attacker of the partysuch as a Samurai.
