How to make the best of warrior classes in Ghost of Tsushima Legends

To make steady progress in the new mode, players need to rely on team effort. An assorted team can overcome any obstacle because every class has a distinct set of valuable characteristics. The Samurai plays as the duelist in the team, by engaging first with the opponents.

The Hunter has a height advantage that helps him evade headshots from above. Another class warrior, The Ronin, has a very important ultimate ability that resurrects the entire team.

Apart from Ronin, every warrior’s ultimate ability helps in tackling multiple enemies at once, and players can trigger these abilities by pressing L1+R1.

Importance of mobility and map knowledge

Players should use their parkour skills and grappling hook to increase mobility. They should not refrain from swinging their way around the map because there is no fall damage in Legends. There are several obstacles that hinder player mobility and players must learn the quickest routes on the map.

Play strategically to win defense points and purchase gifts

Players can always expect better results if they work in a pair of two. Losing a defense point will affect the health of the entire team, and that’s why players should never give up on it. Also, every fifth round is the boss wave, and winning it restores control over all the defense areas.

Every round offers some bonus objectives that add extra coffers to players’ Magatama total, and every map has a shrine. Players can buy gifts from the shrine. However, only a single player can buy gifts from the shrine, and a single purchase also starts a cooldown period before another purchase. Players must choose gifts wisely and use them to win more and more rounds.
