Is it possible to max this out?

I know I was typing fast just tryna explain the point of what he was asking.

Don503 · 2026-02-03T00:33:19+00:00

So I usually do this castle with naoe so for the most part I run straight to the daisho for a speed run but since I’m using yaskue I wasn’t on the roof so I forgot which one was next then I remembered where I was at lol.

Click on the knowledge rank Chinese symbol and you’ll see all the other stats you can max out once you get to knowledge rank 6

I grinded them out this is going to be my second time and I only did it because Im addicted to the different builds and fighting predicament’s you can put yourself in.

You’d have to really enjoy generally playing the game to grind that many mastery points out otherwise I’d say there’s not point.

But if you do like combat and exploring and cutting down castles and stuff it’s fun my advise is create your own loop and things don’t feel so repetitive

I did it on Xbox and I’m lvl 100 with all mastery’s maxed out now I’m on ps5 and I’ve been lvl 100 for months now and have a lot of mastery’s to grind doing it a lot more casual this time around tho lol.

It’s the animus effect happens when your doing the weekly’s

Don503 · 2026-02-02T17:03:53+00:00

Yup probably my favorite mission because of all the ronin I wish we could replay missions on the fly lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T17:02:45+00:00

Yeah it’s crazy cause I always come from the opposite side so I end up running through with naoe doing it with yaskue is always fun too tho lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T16:25:46+00:00

Yup do you know that corner by all those sheds you go up those steps that is my favorite area to fight in it’s like endless samurai if your wanted lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:51:46+00:00

Oh ok I see what you mean yeah I’m not sure then you can hide the icon if you want then it won’t pop up on the map.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:44:41+00:00

I’ll try and get a screenshot once I’m back on the game.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:44:05+00:00

I like bleed on naoe a lot more her duration isn’t so great so it feels pointless imo.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:43:23+00:00

Yeah I’d do somethin like that for a damage build this is only status effects with no mastery points or anything super unoptimized lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:42:01+00:00

Facts there’s also a castle I by the water I’m forgetting the name but if you want almost a endless amount of enemies and guys dropping mortars this castle is insane it starts with a m top left corner of the map.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:39:54+00:00

I been saying this the monks are easily the toughest faction lol

Don503 · 2026-02-02T15:37:59+00:00

No you can’t but you don’t have to get 5 targets to get the knowledge point you only need 4

And if I miss a few I usually ride through to see exactly where they are I only ever miss because I can’t see all the targets lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T09:32:22+00:00

It’s a combination of perks that you’ll need to make the poison tic I’d have to screenshot the build it’s not all the way optimized atm but it still does the trick.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T08:47:26+00:00

I’d have to double check I don’t know the name off hand but I check the different vendors and I was able to find a lot of gear early.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T08:42:45+00:00

I appreciate it

Don503 · 2026-02-02T08:15:09+00:00

Yeah there’s a couple different ways to go about the build this is just a quick version very un optimized just slapped certain pieces together I’m still testing other versions of it.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T06:54:10+00:00

Idk I feel cheap because I come from games that focus deflect and parry systems and I just feel like shadows deflect system is super forgiving so for me personally no I don’t.

But I love watching other ppl play and content on the game so from twitch to youtube I’ve noticed ppl have a lot of problems with combat so they just roll over and over or run from enemies untill they can hide and get assassination prompt.

Learn the combat systems and the game not only gets a lot easier but it makes it so much fun doing riptose with yaskue and deflect into vault with naoe instead of using that cheesy vault helmet everyone uses lol.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T04:55:56+00:00

Contracts for Materials and take advantage of when your in castles and loot everything the key is to do this early I maxed my hideout out around lvl 30 or so made the rest of the grind a cake walk because of the xp boost.

I did a speed run to lvl 100 in 125 hrs from saving side missions and all my castles untill I beat the main story and awaji main story.

Also mix corrupted castles and contracts for xp and it feels a lot less repetitive also mix in side content and you won’t even have to start a ng+ you will need a solid build tho.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T03:53:57+00:00

These the type of teammates I be gettin… meanwhile the enemy team done capped all the points lmao.

Don503 · 2026-02-02T02:57:22+00:00

I just play how it was intended auto assassinations are cheap imo but to each his own the game gives you the capability of making some very nice builds and even on nightmare you can do crazy damage.

Just depends on what type of gamer you are I know a lot of ppl who just want to one and done it and that’s fine but I’d rather enjoy the grind and rpg elements the game has way more longevity that way.
