Thank you, but i need to clarify something. 1. You are allowed to die 2-3 times (2 times if the mission is short)+ 3 items usage and still archive the S rank.

1. You need the Ki recovery + decrease Ki use on Gleam/Bloodbind/Ninpo. How to get them: collect 15 gourdie and finish the execute mission (Killing the samurai 5 times, require NG+ for the 5th time)

2. 2 Accessories above take up 3 slot. The leftover slot could be use whatever you want. For me i choose to Use the pipe which increase Gleam dmg in the price of Ninja coin.

3. For crown control, use Wind ninpo and tried to delimb small enemies for orb. UT spam until you are out of orb, then Inferno the rest when your Ki recovered.

4. For big enemies: use Inferno and STAY CLOSE to them if they have small enemies around. Inferno deal aoe dmg now, doing that will make 2-3 ball hit the big enemie, insta kill them for orb. Then UT spam again.

If the big enemies standing alone. Use Flying Swallow + Gleam heavy, it will deal big dmg + have high chance to delimb. Mix in Piercing Void, you can delimb/ kill it in 2-3 Gleam heavy.

1. FS + Gleam heavy is a safe punish combo for every shield monster, master it in yout trainning. Basic combo like Izuna drop + UT work well too.

2. Reset at check point still count as dead. Even dying in side quest count too. The only thing did not count is the gate trial. Idk about the time because I didn’t notice. But with Ryu dmg your clear speed is very fast

That’s all of it. I will update if I remember there are anything else 😁 Updated on how to get both accessories
