2. 🗡️ Ninja Blade (忍刀) Weapon Skill DPS TOP 3
· Introducing the main Weapon Skill DPS ranking for the Ninja Blade.
| Rank | Weapon Skill | Features |
|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Throwing Kick (投げ蹴り) | Fast attack, activated with the Triangle button, allows for an additional 2 hits High power, short animation, excellent Ki damage Good for use as a primary weapon skill A phenomenon was observed where back damage decreases when the enemy's Ki is 0 (limited to human-type enemies) |
| 2nd | Kurama Sword Dance: Wind (鞍馬剣舞・風) | A modified version of the Samurai Sword's Kurama Sword Dance Same animation but imbued with Wind element, resulting in high elemental accumulation Total frames are somewhat long, so caution is needed against enemy counterattacks Back elemental damage also decreases when Ki is 0 |
| 1st | Wellhead Strike (井点頭) | High activation difficulty (Left Stick Left/Right + Triangle button) Moves during attack, making hit count unstable Very short total frames, resulting in high DPS with a maximum of 3 hits Theoretically highest DPS, but difficult to activate and land hits consistently |

|---|---|---|
| 3rd | Water Form Sword: Water (水形剣・水) | Continuous slashes activated by holding the Triangle button Holding it to the maximum consumes all Ki and leaves you vulnerable Total damage is very high, and it can apply Water elemental status Due to many hits and complex modifiers, accurate damage measurement was difficult |
| 2nd | Water Form Sword: Two (水形剣・弐) | Similar to Water Form Sword: Water, but attack speed gradually increases, resulting in higher DPS relative to total frames |
| 1st | Shadow Slash (影切り) | A Hellfire Weapon skill activated with a strong attack (Square button) High power, simple animation, and long reach, making it easy to handle Back damage is 1.82x due to Hellfire Weapon characteristics, but the strong attack portion is 2.6x, totaling 1.97x DPS of 5216, far exceeding the strongest Samurai skills Frontal DPS of 2646, on par with the strongest Samurai skills Disadvantages: Low Ki damage, and the sidestepping motion makes it somewhat difficult to hit consistently |

5. 📈 Ninja Dual Blades (忍二刀) Comprehensive Analysis and Usage Tips
· Shadow Slash (影切り) boasts overwhelming performance, and even from the front, it can achieve Samurai-level DPS, making it an excellent primary skill.
· Ninja Dual Blades generally have low Ki damage, so in situations requiring Ki depletion, consider switching to Samurai or another weapon.
· The Mystic Art grants an attack buff when landing aerial attacks, so it's good to mix in skills like Cutting Top (切りコマ) or Fire Flow Mountain (火流山) for the buff.
· Fire Flow Mountain tends to have a lower multiplier when used from behind due to reduced hit count.
