I don’t get why the lazulite sabimaru is better it spits out poison gas and has can hit enemies through there blocks
10. There
9. Is
8. No
7. Best
6. Tool
5. They
4. All
3. Have
2. Uses
1. Firecrackers
Firecrackers are pretty fucking good. Lol
I dont know why people find firecrackers so useful considering their spirit cost
@@Cplusplus745 because they stagger EVERYTHING
@@SomeUnkindledAsh yeah but loaded umbrella is OP because it can block 360 and when it's smoking you can wreck with projected force all for 1 emblem.
Firecrackers cost more and don't do damage all alone.
@@TypicallyUniqueOfficial not with charm less and then it becomes a parry tool for newbs. That's semi useful against long arm centipedes
Miyasaky: Shields are for cowards
Miyasaky the troll: Here's a magical hat that 100 times better than a normal shield.
It deflecc, it reflecc but most importantly it protecc.
*Miyazaki
@@user-ti4bm4md5y It also atacc
no. It's just as effective as a normal shield. Shields are insanely effective against a katana or a spear. Never understood why samuraï didn't use them.
@@benjaminthibieroz4155 cuz they aint no bitch bro!
Mist feather is the best because every time you use it you can say Teleports behind you: nothing personal kid.
You gotta make sure you say "Teleports behind you" too or it wont count.
mike dog nah nah nah, you gotta say "nothing *personnel* kid"
Eat Hotdog you must say when behind an enemy
OH MY WAY WOO SHIN DE ROO
With contact medicine or when naturally poisoned you can just use it whenever you want
@@zeianestraca9429
"Wait, did you just actually say teleports behi-" *gets stabbed*
The Loaded Umbrella shoots back projectiles?!?!?! Nice!
Also, I've noticed that there will be attacks that will push you back, despite deflecting it perfectly, but the Loaded Umbrella can negate that knockback.
ChemicalDeviantX those ones are so cinematic though, Sekiro digs his sword into the ground and the camera basically goes “DAMN.” Then you recover
not always, enemies that hit extra hard do push you back, e.g., ishiin sword saint in 2nd and 3rd phases, where he uses the spear.
@@allvideos123 if you deflect those atks with umbrella, there will be no knockback. only blocking with umbrella will have knockback
@@zhiyangzheng2402 yes, and i do realize that the window to parry using the umbrella is a little longer, but even so this boss have this capability, specially because he hits super hard.
@@allvideos123 not often mentioned but, while the parry window is longer than normal sword, it has a slower start up.
also, wdym? the whole point of using umbrella to parry is to negate the effect of knockback on parry. So it is no longer an issue with umbrella.
Pre-video: It has to be the firecrackers
They arent that good
Pre-video: Shuriken
@@_doop8257 ye it is not good it is best
@@lander9324 firecrackers is definitely not the best. For 2 emblems, it doesn't do much.
Pre-video: umbrella.
The spear ended up being my go to tool for boss fights. Almost every boss had an attack that I would jump backwards to avoid. The spear let be close that distance and counter attack. Sometimes I could get off the follow up slash but they normally began deflecting at that point.
Or your can shuriken+slash to get back to close combat, which is both faster and more versatile
@@ivan5328 I don't really use that as much because the endlag on the slash is really bad in my experience
Agreed, the spear is the best weapon, especially for the Great Shinobi Owl and Owl (father) fights
The Spiral Spear was great for finishing off mini bosses when the posture just needed ONNNNNE more hit. I abused all the 1 Spirit Emblem Prosthetics. My favorite load out was Laz Shuriken, Suzaku's Lotus Umbrella, and Spiral Spear.
Spiral Spear absolutely trivializes Headless Ape, the jab and pull from the spear after deflecting that overhead strike destroys the posture.
This guy really underrates the spear like most people. Its a high skill cap prosthetic you have to use its range mixed with your own mobility. Its a shame the ignorance surrounding this game. Hes right about the shield and shuriken but spear is top 5 definitely, I have it as #2.
@@jaeyoo5188 umbrella becomes trash with no kuro charm
REVILO tionary for real it actually useless in no Kuro charm run
@@kmn9568 I know, it was an oversight to put chip dmg on shields.
The Loader spear owns ninjas (not counting Owl) and can do amazing damage against the Giant Ape in phase two. I'm not even sure I could have beaten all those ninjas without it.
Which ninjas, the nightjar or the interior ministry?
@@carbon5261 Both and the Ninja bosses as well, the spear charge is obscenely effective hitting three times then pulling them toward you for a quick sword slash. There's a reason the Ninja Hunter in the estate uses a spear. Not counting Owl (seriously do not try it on him), I haven't found a quick enemy that it's not effective against.
My favorite weapon after using katana and spear in Nioh
Michel
Bro that's actually some clever worldbuilding with the ninja hunter using a spear
Mist Raven hands down my #1. Getting past that snake in that cave using this was so cool, I just died no matter what before using this.
The second phase against prime owl, where he used his spirit animal to teleport behind me, I used it against him, never felt more badass.
Did you try making the monkey a puppet to get past the snake?
@@miehackhd5027 this😅
I can only agree with this list for NG. When you go to NG+ or later or when you have the debuff from not having Kuro's charm. This list looks different imo
Exactly, in NG+ without Kuro's Charm umbrella loses it's blocking, which makes it way worse, the spear, on the other hand, is great, since it can outrange and keep you safe.
Um hello, larger deflect window and the ability to spin the umbrella? You don't need to block anything unless you want to.
@@twelveandthreequartersduck6769 deflecting repetitive quick attacks is extremely difficult with the umbrella, also I loved the blocking when going through places like Gun Fort
good through gunfort bridger is a pain in the ass without kuro’s charm
What would your list be?
The only thing I disliked about this game was that I wish we had dlc.
no need for a dlc, the story wraps up fantastically. what we need is a sequel, based on the dragon homecoming ending.
Lord of Cinder yes. Dragon’s return ending leaves plenty of room for a sequel.
@@allvideos123 while i agree about the sequel thing, a dlc about tomoe would be pretty nice
The Shura ending also leaves the things prepared for a sequel.
The hirata estate story feels a lot like dlc
I broadly agree with this list, except for a charmless run where the umbrella becomes way more situational! Great vid
BUT SEKIRO NEEDS A EASY MODE
Just use Prosthetics
TwilightYonder720 most are trash to be honest. Plus low amount spirit emblems means you’ll be able to take one enemy. If want easy mode don’t buy any skills and lvl atk power.
Mafee Fitomo
Before I knew much about the game and just started, I made sure to farm as much spirit emblems as I could and it paid off, I've never run out
@@unknowingreaper6556 you do realize that most enemies drop spirit emblems like candy, right? furthermore, you can also buy those in any sculptor's idol.
I've hardly used prosthetics, and I'm breezing through the game.
You have to find the prosthetics, in order to use them.
Mist Raven is the true butter, when there is no hope to dodge or deflect and you're cornered it will save the day. Only those who have endured the same trauma will understand
I just beat isshin and cannot agree more, when the attack will damage through parry, great flame Raven is amazing especially with the follow up skill
@@slicvic00 You could also use the umbrella in cases like that.
Omg your videos short brief and very easy to understand thankkkkkk
Damn, I have been sleeping on some of these prosthetics.
this game is so awesome, i'm on the verge to complete it for the 6th time, i want to get 99 attack power.
@@allvideos123 Did you ever get it?
@@MasDouc yes i did, i stopped at ng+6. 99 attack power at ng+6 isn't that great, but since it stops escalating the difficulty at ng+7 i think it's well balanced.
@@allvideos123 get help
@@CDLightt try and do it better, friend.
Great list! I love the loaded umbrella as well, but always found it kinda strange. In a game where you have to fight aggressive and ruthless to get your way one of the best tools is practically a shield. It occured strange to me - which just makes me like the umbrella even more!
I play really aggressively, so spear was exactly what I needed for gap closing and making sure I didnt let their posture deplete when I scooted put of range to heal
Flame vent combined with living force is OP!
I platinumed this game and still watching videos on it
Same
Great fucking game. I'm sad I'm almost finished with my 1st playthrough
Haha same🤣
me too
I find all of them useful, and I liked your rankings.
actually, sabimaru was most useful if you read the description. if you take it to the fountainhead palace it INSTA poisons the okami warrior women. with poison active it reduces their endurance for posture and life. they basically become unable to defend themselves after just 1 hit from it. sabimaru is top 3 for making all enemies in a single corner of the map easy.
Great video, my top 3: Firecracker, Axe and Umbrella.
My god, my love for combat games with effort and passion behind them surpasses my current dilemmas and issues, fucking love this game
I agree The umbrella is the best generalist tool and it’s so good at dealing with the inner bosses or just general protections from moves that catch you off guard and plus you can get a lot of posture damage out of it
The Mist Raven allowed me to obliterate Great Shinobi Owl.
lemme guess you cheesed him?
@@beaairey4096 Not really. I dodged behind his attacks and then used Chasing Slice to get free hits in. I still had to dodge/deflect his attacks so I wouldn't run out of Spirit Emblems.
I like the list but in NG+ the shuriken, the flame vent and especially the firecracker are the prostetic tootls that you'll use the most, the spear only has utility for the guardian ape boss imo. annyway good vid
amazing demonstration !
Sabimaru is an instant kill on alot of the enemies in the divine realm
That's a palace, in the 'real' realm.
Enemies in the fountainhead temple aren't really hard anyway
@@djoxer especially when one of them spams lightning in a group and it becomes reverse -UNO- lightning
My NG +7 Charmless Bell Demon opinions
10: Divine Abduction - Can be used to get a quick buck for Sen Throw or some sugars
9: Finger Whistle - Useless if not malcontent, hard to justify the cost when a mortal draw will do way more to Demon of Hatred. Can still be useful to get heals and buffs in.
8: Loaded Spear - Useful for phase 2 Guardian Ape and Headless Ape, can be used with proper spacing to help deal with large groups of enemies
7: Loaded Umbrella - Really suffers with chip damage, still has slightly larger perfect parry window and can be used to avoid annoying grabs like Emma's
6: Sabimaru - Useful on sword vs. sword boss fights, especially following up from perilous jump counters. Extends combos, builds a good chunk of posture and poison stops posture regen. Also makes fountainhead palace mob fights a breeze.
5: Loaded Axe - Does a ton of posture damage, especially useful against Armored Warrior. Also a good follow up for perilous attack jump counters. Jumping attacks to build burn is likely the best strategy.
4: Mist Raven - Very useful for getting out of tough combos and huge AOE attacks on the toughest fights in the game like Inner Owl and Inner Isshin. Directly goes into lightning counter when hit with a lightning attack. Very useful for extending combos and keeping posture pressure up. Would recommend trying it out a couple times if you're struggling against all 3 "Inner" fights.
3: Flame Vent - Burn status is huge on bosses with high posture recovery. Does good health and posture damage. Generally useful on a big portion of boss fights. Would be ranked higher if Kusabimaru buff lasted longer.
2: Shuriken - Lazulite Shuriken is fantastic for dealing with ranged enemies and dogs. Cancels posture recovery as well, just generally useful. Sen Throw is a whole nother beast. Sen Throw just does a ridiculous amount of posture damage. So much so that it's used in every Gauntlet speedrun. Would be ranked lower if Sen Throw wasn't busted.
1: Shinobi Firecracker - Just the base version is still the best tool in the game. Useful in every single boss fight besides Demon of Hatred and Divine Dragon. Completely trivializes Monk Illusion, both Snake Eyes, Folding Screen Monkeys, and Phase 1 Guardian Ape. It's just busted beyond belief. Kinda sucks that the "best" version of the prosthetic is just a straight downgrade compared to the previous upgrades, but that doesn't change a thing.
Obviously every list is subjective, just thought I'd throw my two cents in since game knowledge has matured since this video was released, and playing Charmless specifically changes the whole dynamic of the game by quite a bit.
the two i use the most are the lazulite shurikens and the umbrella, more often the ones that protect from fire and terror. the 3rd slot is changed often to another tool i might need, mostly the spear, the flame barrel, the axe and the sabimaru.
Fantastic guide.
I did not realize how versatile the umbrella was.... I'mma start using it now
gg the spear and sabimaru are my favorites
Pretty spot on
Mist Raven and loaded umbrella are so good because you don't need to learn boss patterns, the drawback is limited uses but umbrella costs a measly 1 emblem. I personally find the axe easier to use than firecrackers but that's just preference.
If you drink sake with the sculptor you'll know that the sculptor used to train with a certain partner in sunken valley who used to whistle. Sculptor says he really liked listening to that whistle . Later after we fight the guardian ape we find that whistle in his stomach, which points that the certain partner was defeated by the guardian ape and it also explains the sword in his neck . Later it's the sculptor that due to his grief of loosing her (the partner) tuns into demon of hatred and that is exactly why the whistle works against that demon. I found this very emotional side story of the game.
You need to drink a lot of sake with people to find this , sekiro while defeating the demon of hatred addresses the demon of hatred as sculptor if you drink enough sake with him .
Everyone talks about how the Firecrackers are the best,
and I can’t deny they are useful, but I think a majority of the positive outlook comes from the fact that they’re so easy to use, and use effectively. A lot of other prosthetics have more effective and powerful utilities, but take more planning and skill to use. Also, the amount of times I trade hits and die while using the firecrackers is more than I can count at this point.
Yeah i could confidently say that the umbrella was the most useful for me even while doing charmless + bell demon runs because it ignores stagger, has higher posture damage when parrying, good follow-up damage, a slightly higher parry window, can ignore both Terror and Burn status, blocks grabs, and mostly it only causes one emblem.
Most of the time i mix up my parries with my sword and umbrella especially to the end of enemies' combos like Geni's floating passage , Headless ape's wind up , Corrupted monk's 5 360 swing, Owl father's heavy slash and many more.
Critically underrated the Sabimaru, in my opinion. No mention of the fact that it quickly sounds and poisons Okami warrior women - which is really useful later on.
Also, during phase 2 Isshin, you can poison him twice and get him down to half health.
Umbrella is truely the goat. I would have put firecrackers up at #2 and probably flamevent at 3 though
I would like to add that I didn't realize that the Okami referred to the people in Fountainhead Palace, I thought it meant the Gun Fort people. With that said, the Sabimaru triggers poison almost immediately and deals a lot of posture damage on almost every enemy at Fountainhead.
Just got the game! And I AXE everything!!!
I dunno, mist Raven’s been a life saver throughout. That’s the beauty of From’s entries though - their tools are only as good as their master.
I just got done with a NG+4 playthrough to finish off my Platinum, and I don't think I ever used mist raven throughout any of my playthroughs. It's cool that the game still offers unique gameplay strategies even without so many different weapons like DS/Bloodborne
Kollin I’m on my last run through for the plat as well, and Mist Raven is always equipped for me, and genuinely saves my life against Sword Saint
You can totally wreck many of the mini bosses using the spiral spear only
Umbrella is tool I never use on first run, but on 2-3 run I made me really easy to kill almost all boss and mini (almost)
It hard to use at first though, so I agree with you on this, but other order isn't really same
Thank you so much!
I was really afraid u would rank the ax low but it's my favorite prosthetic behind the shuriken that being I completely disagree with the loaded umbrella being number one but I always Max out early since spirit emblems cost 10 Sen in the early stages of the game so I never had to worry about emblem consumption but that's way I love about sekiro everyone has there own favorite tools, skills ,and techniques. Great video I learned a lot way hing this video
decent listing with awesome statements, gj
For NG+ and especially NG++ and beyond with path of hardships enabled where chip damage and posture breaking will get you killed quickly, the whistle is good for stealth killing tough enemies in groups. But most useful I have found is the mist raven. So damn good against tougher minibosses and some bosses. The loaded umbrella becomes effectively useless due to chip damage breaking through it though.
Sabimaru and shuriken my all time favorites. ❤
The loaded axe is always my main because of how much posture damage it does
It´s posture dmg is indeed good but it´s problem is the long wind up animation.
I was almost certain Cas was gonna put Firecrackers at the top.
Not that good
for me, the shuriken is my most use prothetic tool cause it's likely force the boss to come at me (like Saint Isshin phase 1 or Orin...), make it's easy to prepare or bait their attack. Second is firecracker, it's like Ichimoji but with faster speed.
Oh yes another video from the amazing fextralife
I was today years old when I found out that the loaded finger can also be affective against the headless, I shall take this knowledge with me in my next run of Sekiro
The Axe is my absolute favourite, it absolutely demolishes posture
I used spiral spear like crazy on mini bosses.
Loaded umbrella was one i dident use ever might try it
Sabi wrecks Ori's posture . Was a huge help at that point in game when divine confetti was still scarce
Benjamin Johnson
Wait you were supposed to use divine confetti .-.

O-rin
I did not expect that order. Nice to hear differing opinions. I expected:
Top, Flame Vent, Firecracker, Umbrella, Axe, Finger Whistle, Fan, Spear, Shuriken, Sabimaru, Mist Raven, Bottom
Mostly ranked by how much I use them but with Umbrella & Whistle being higher due to how strongly they counter bosses and Fan being higher for the increased drop rate of mercury. Maybe I should try to find a time Mist Raven is better than deflect/block.
The only time Mist Raven is technically the "best" option is when you're trying to do a Lightning Reversal-- you can use Mist Raven to avoid the damage and still reverse the lightning back at the boss/enemy.
Iirc the reasons why they didn't use shields was due to both the cutting strength of the katana and due to requiring 2 hands to properly use the katana.
The katana is one of, if not the, most impressive advancements in military science even to this day. The way katanas were/are made allowed it to literally cleave a shield in half if used by someone proficient enough with it. It could jab through steel. It's ranked with the AK-47 as being one of the most effective devices when made for killing. Even to this day it's one of the sharpest and most durable swords that can be made.
Wish I could give links... It's an insanely powerful weapon in the right hands and requires quick mobility, light on the feet 2 handed use.
The armor was more for arrows and bullets as the katanas are some of the sharpest swords ever made.
Sabimaru absolutely wrecks enemies in the fountainhead palace. Plus it wrecks snake eyes shirafuji (the one above). Its also helpful at the farm spot just b4 the divine dragon
Gotta be honest, I find it kinda hard to experiment with some of these as often as I'd like. (Maybe it's cuz unlike Bloodborne there's no clear pattern like "gun wielding enemies = guaranteed bullet drops" or stuff like that)
Clear any previous area again .......u will get more spirit emblems than u need
Late game (and even mid game) there's nothing much left worth buying anyway so just farm some sen and buy as much emblems as you want. If you don't use any much emblems while farming, you'll also get a bunch stacked up after defeating them too. And that extra emblem drop skill in the monk tree is also pretty helpful.
loaded axe I didn't get much use out outside of the enemies that you have to use it on. it's lazulite variant is amazing if you have trouble with the corrupted monk spirit battle but I'd recommend just getting better at the battle without it because unless your only going for the shura ending you'll have to fight the monk for real and it wont help you there very much. in general my favorite tools are the flame vent the sabimaru and fire crackers. combo'ing mortal draw with fire crackers might be a resource drain but it pumps out SOOOOOO much damage. I will say that sabimaru doesn't really feel great when you get into ng+. I don't think it scales with enemy HP so the health drain is pretty minimal after awhile...
Interesting video. I'll say that this ranking woefully underestimates the Finger Whistle. It is an absolute godsend for stealth killing enemies. You can wall hug and whistle around a corner at someone, (isolating them if they're with friends, which is something Ceramic Shards can't do) and then 1-shot them when they get to you. Same with ledge-hanging. Mountain Echo is great for doing similar things without having access to a ledge or wall to hug. Finally, you can wipe entire groups of animal mobs like wolves or monkeys with a single whistle, and can use them to hurt nearby human enemies.
You get it
holy shit i've been avoiding prosthetic arts for a while now cause i really wanted to save my exp up for something else, but now i see how much i need them
Eh, they are hard to rank cause I use most of them but it depends on the situation. I use the spear on both ape fights and for tearing armor off, axe for shield and hat guys and the Armored Knight, firecrackers for Gyoubu/first phase ape/blazing and sakura bull and for knocking Sword Saint out of his charged spear spin, flame vent I use with oil on the ogres, the Juuzou's/Tokujiro and sometimes on Ashina Seven Spears and the samurai generals, sabimaru I use on snake-eyes and the okami women in Fountainhead, finger whistle I use for stealth kills and Demon of Hatred, umbrella I use on both ashina elites and the shichimen warriors plus to deflect Genichiro's mortal draw then hit him with projected force, shurikens I use to stop enemy posture regen, close distance with the follow-up skill, knock Lady Butterfly down, kill dogs and to keep the one mini-boss in Hirata estate from calling for his dogs. The two prosthetics I never really use are the fan and the feather, but I know the fan is good for farming and for getting rid of the monks and I've seen people do cool shit with the feather (like doing return lightning without taking damage), seriously going to try out the feather more next playthrough.
You can tell the Spear’s placement especially regarding the spiral spear is a bit of a outdated opinion in hindsight because it is the only other tool that uses only 1 spirit emblem like the shuriken. But has a lot more damage especially with the very short charge up, and it has some niche usage with things like the drag. Underrated part is that the spiral spear can take on grouped enemies very easily with the charge up, run through a crowd and do a lot of damage, and then pull one alive target away with the drag and finish them off.
Lmao i loved using puppeteer ninjutsu on the second snake eyes and watching him get hit by all those missiles
Can’t believe I beat dis update it beat all d boss Nd hv all my d skin💯am so proud...knowing a lot of people still struggling with d update boss
Right now the mist raven and loaded umbrella are my favourite. I really want to upgrade teh umbrella so I can finally beat the shichimen warrior
>“If this tool costed less spirit emblems it’s be higher on the list”
>Saibimaru uses one spirit emblem.
Murda Vic I was just thinking that
Not really, since the full combo takes 3 spirits.
1 every 2 hits. 3 for the 6 hit combo.
firecrackers, shuriken and umbrella are my top 3 i have bearly used any other prosthetic on my way to the plat
Flame vent is #1 for me. Allows you to do multiple times more damage than anything else when combined with oil and living force. It is completely game changing
@@tomasdelcampo2 Loaded axe is great to break posture, you can also stagger lock some enemies with it.
could not agree wit this list more
Mist raven and umbrella can make both ishin(Ashina and sword saint) a breeze. All his cancer attack can be avoided and countered. You just need to get good for his second phase (Sword saint).
Just run until he doss the jumping spear attack, followed by the slash and then run in and punish him for a hit. Using that method and running side to side the entire fight will work outside of phase 1, really. In phase 3, things are largly the same, just be ready to lightning return. Lol
Loaded umbrella is by far the best Prosthetic tool in sekiro. Although I didn’t use it very much, but it helped me a lot in the fight with Isshin the sword saint, especially against his mortal draw attacks.
With the spear during the fight with the headless ape you can actually use it to pull the centipede out and get extra damage to its health and posture which I think should earn it a little more respect
Honestly, the whistle is probably my favorite
Fire mist raven is really useful on NG+, I just throw oil on some annoying enemies, and just use the Fire Mist Raven. It puts them on fire easily (easier than the flame-thrower) and can make you deals a lot of damage instantly after
recently u made guides ? lol it was forever ago xD still nice videos ! :3
I usually rely on Purple Fume Spark just to give me time to use Ceremonial Tanto & Healing Gourd.
My top 3: 1.loaded umbrella with projected force 2. spear any form it is just a great tool taking out mobs 3. Axe great posture damage to most enemies. What i like about this game that all the prosthetics are useful when used in the correct situation
I only use the firecrackers really and it’s just because I can use it to gain some time to heal and use divine confetti. I’m sure the umbrella is good but like I’ve used it once and it’s in gum fort. I got firecrackers and use it all the time.
Sabimaru was good for extending combos, and building up health bar damage. Used it all the time in my playthroughs. Sabimaru til you get deflected, use normal attack evasive spin thing to avoid the counter and sabimaru their side. Wrecks most faster paced enemies.
Normal attack, evasive spin thing? What's that?
Read the Improved Sabimaru description@@mountaineerpaultalksfootba4782
I think the firecrackers should be top 3, if not number 1! Aside from using the stun to get hits in, I used it defensively to great effect against bosses like owl or isshin, who will punish you when you try to heal. Just pop firecrackers and heal, they will charge into the blast and stop on their tracks. It's the most useful tool imo, to the point that it's almost a crutch.
I used the loaded axes a lot as well, just because it looks bad ass mostly, but also its a nice burst of posture damage against mini-bosses and some bosses as well (if you are not saving the spirit emblems for the crackers of course)
Are you planning to make a vidoes for each weapon art just like for each prosthetic tool?=)
Yes my favourite umbrella is number 1!
Loaded spear made some encounters super easy when ripping off armour.
I think you forgot how useful the Sabimaru is against the Okami warriors in Fountainhead Palace, it poisons them instantly and stuns them for a long time.
Is this still up to date or was something changed in a patch? I just got the game recently
Good list! These tools remind me of Bloodbornes weapons in which almost all are viable if used properly and in the right situation.
literally all the weapons in BB are good, it would be kinda dumb if even one of them was straight up bad. some of the prosthetic tools become pretty much useless on a no charm playthrough
Fun Fact: I beat Sekiro 3 times without using the Firecrackers once. I only used the Spear, which was and still is my favorite tool lol.
Can you have all modes of the prosthetic arm at once in a battle and change them during combat or you need to go to menu to change them?
What's the outro? It's awesome.
It's axe all day for me. I tried messing with the umbrella but couldn't get the hang of it
Umbrella is definitely top tier but if you play without the charm it becomes way less OP and can basically only be used for offense. I'd still put it above the flame vent though.
With charm the top 3 is probably firecrackers, umbrella, shuriken, without charm I'd say mist raven replaces it in that ranking
IMO, Firecracker is definitely the best prosthetic tool. It makes most bosses total pushovers (i.e. Corrupted Monk). Even if it doesn’t completely cheese the fight, it can certainly give you a head start.
Mist raven allows you to cheese that first owl fight in a way that makes it the easiest boss in the game.
I only used shuruken to to get all the achievements. I feel the combat arts felt really separate from the core game when double ichi is so good.
