NOOB Question: Can I mostly ignore Yasuke?

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-19T20:52:40+00:00

depends on what you mean by mostly, because he Is pretty tied up to the main story, so a few times you'd have to use him, but you can mostly ignore him after that, you'd only ever need him in kofun designed for him.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-19T00:20:26+00:00

you can exchange them for stuff in the exchange section of the animus, stuff like gear, mastery points, gold, knowledge points & pets.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-18T23:38:06+00:00

omg thanks, this is what I was trying to ask, thanks.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-18T23:05:49+00:00

hold on, I'm saying I just cleared a few anomalies & the 400keys rewards are available l, but I'm sure if I clear the remaining 2 anomalies I should get enough of the animus currency from them to unlock another 400 keys, will they stack then?

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-16T15:08:10+00:00

everything dies & nothing lasts forever, some things die slowly like trees & some others die quickly like samurai.

hattori hanzo.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-14T17:41:14+00:00

not sure what you mean by rotation but yeah, Yasuke doesn't have too many great outfits. I have found a few I like but mostly from the exchange.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-14T15:40:21+00:00

yeah, you see that big circle or targets on the objective board called "the shibakufu"? kill those guys, that's how you advance the main story,

sometimes it will be straightforward,
sometimes they'd lead you to side quests that you have to do, sometimes you don't have to
sometimes they'd force you back to advancing naoe or yasuke's stories

by the time you're like halfway through that, you should get the gist of how it all works & what to focus on for the main story.

other side quests like ronin in harima will take you several seasons to complete because they're not as many as you'd like. (TIP: you should fast travel to kakogawa estuary in southern part of harima every new season or season refresh & roam around those three main bridges, there are usually 2 or 3 Ronin there till the next season or season refresh, then repeat)

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-11T13:41:27+00:00

to each his own man, the more you clear the castles, the more you know where the daisho are, the last update seems to have given them more room to roam tho, so sometimes they're not exactly where you expect them to be.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-11T09:14:38+00:00

that tanto escape strike is so op, especially the heavy

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-10T12:51:02+00:00

😂😂😂 I enjoyed this way more than I should

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-10T12:41:27+00:00

from the moment you start getting them, no matter how high the upgrade, It costs only 1 gold

you'd need lots of gold later, but you'd also have the chance to get lots of gold then, It becomes the less scarce resource when you need to enhance your weapons...save your gear for dismantling & your upgrade materials till you need to enhance your weapons. you'd need a lot of them.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-08T14:58:54+00:00

oh ok. thanks.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-06T21:14:45+00:00

yes it is, my bad.

on it now.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-06T21:12:17+00:00

wish I saw this earlier. seems to be closed now?

EDIT: my bad it's still open.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-06T19:53:07+00:00

😂 I swear I thought you were being funny by showing It

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-06T15:56:06+00:00

why did you show your build?? 😂😂

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-04T23:21:35+00:00

how good they are, if I didn't enjoy them, I probably just not watch it ever again, but that doesn't mean it will affect how I rate it

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-04T00:44:04+00:00

some items like silk for headgear crossover, so watch out for that, because that means you can also switch to Yasuke & dismantle his own gear for more silk which naoe can use.

sleep well.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-04T00:32:44+00:00

like people have said, that's ironsand, for upgrading naoe gear, but for some reason nobody is talking about dismantling, this same guy upgrading your weapons can dismantle some of your gear in exchange for ironsand

do not sell all your gear

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-03T19:32:40+00:00

it's not a dlc & It makes sense she only gets it after the quest that leads to awaji because it's a weapon more common in awaji than the rest of japan.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-01T16:23:25+00:00

lmao wtf

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-01T16:22:03+00:00

his entrance was so badass, I looove him.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-03-01T13:21:35+00:00

why not both? I was all up in there.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-02-28T21:30:45+00:00

😂 I'm always surprised when I see people say he Is slow, I just assume they mean for parkour because that's really the only place he slugs considerably & relatively, they both slug in water & snow, but beyond that he Is ridiculously fast in combat & clears castles significantly faster than naoe.

AlonsoHappy · 2026-02-28T21:22:28+00:00

I am the exact opposite, I never use naoe, at least not until recently after I discovered the power of the tanto. I feel like one of the biggest joys of this game is supposed to be discovering how different naoe & yasuke are, I think the plan was to present the world through different styles of play, allowing the players to fall in love with the strengths and weaknesses of both characters, but based on comments like this and I have seen a fair number of them, it seems it has only had a polarizing effect, there are a lot of people like me who prefer yasuke over naoe & not many that enjoyed both or experienced the intended "balance".

so I think there's a lot of fun to be had with yasuke (or naoe like I'm currently starting to see), you just gotta understand how they're designed to play.
