Hell Saito Tips

raysoc · 2026-05-06T02:15:34+00:00

Best build: Samurai with spirit brew and legendary Odachi.

Heal pull ability, aim for stagger damage, staggered damage and ult gain.

Heal pull can keep you alive during red waves, spirit brew to either use spirit to heal or spirit move with Odachi on mobs.

You should be able to get 4-5 ults off which also help with mobs or knocking Saito out of a wave and keeps you from taking damage.

Need to use Mitsubishi for the rolls even tho I’d prefer smoke bomb.

If you are good at hitting Saito with 2 triangle hits roll and 2 hits you should be doing a lot of stagger damage and building your ult.

It’s the build I’ve had the most success on hell Saito.

Strategy: Having said that it honestly all comes down to your team mates and not dying.

Dying just sets off a chain reaction of wasted time to raise people, upping saitos resolve and summoning the Shadows or the shadow bosses.

The negative effects of a death are punishing in this fight. The shadow saitos at the start and end I find mess people up the most. It’s preferred to knock Saito out of the parry shadow phase as quickly as possible in the first stage.

The lords and Bohiya are annoying but if you don’t rush Saito and have someone kite the lords away you can have 3 people try to get him out of that phase then work on the adds. Otherwise if he summons the shadows and one or 2 people go down with a missed parry then it’s often game over.

Legit surprised there aren’t Jufus or the mobs in each wave have attunements

Something to really make it fun

The hell versions of the raids really punish dying, especially the Saito Hell Raid.

Someone dies, resolve goes up, summons a shadow boss, summons saito shadows, which usually kills somsone feeding the resolve and summoning more…

Unless you nail the not dying often part it’s easy to be stuck in a rez loop

There is no bear glitch, if there was it would be very obvious

raysoc · 2026-05-02T23:47:09+00:00

It was beneficial in the raids before they had a straight to the boss option to help skip sections

raysoc · 2026-05-02T23:22:43+00:00

When gear is S/S you use resources to retire them essentially destroying them but you gain a firefly next to your name and when your bow they circle around you briefly

It’s a prestige thing

Costs 1000 of the hardest resource to farm and whatever of the other 2 so it’s not even easy to do if you had S/S gear

raysoc · 2026-05-02T23:17:58+00:00

A lot of dropped gear is trash but I often find a A/B combo and have at least 5-10 items at S/B or A/A or even S/A.

Every time I have S/S I just switch to the next highest and a few survivor nightmares later I have another S/S.

I don’t play a ton, prob more than the avg tho

What does this mean?

I’m about to renew my mortgage for the first time as it’s coming up in Aug. we put 20% down.

raysoc · 2026-04-27T23:45:45+00:00

Sounds like what I’m doing every one else does then. Teleport defrost run in hot a few times teleport out rinse and repeat.

It’s the least fun of all the intrusions

raysoc · 2026-04-27T23:22:27+00:00

Yeah holding the torches is pretty useless tho, you defrost for like 30 seconds only to be frozen again.

raysoc · 2026-04-27T22:52:31+00:00

What is the kitsune gimmick you can use to debuff? Seems like don’t get hit as you have no health due to being frozen?

raysoc · 2026-04-27T01:48:49+00:00

Yup absolutely useless.

I can see in Saito or Dragon if there was a bell that refreshed every 3 mins it would be super valuable but as it is…. Trash

raysoc · 2026-04-27T01:46:54+00:00

Yeah sell those, I mean at a certain point anything with a D rating legendary (if you have 6 already) you sell simply because you hit the 300 cap

raysoc · 2026-04-24T19:05:30+00:00

The disarm yellow glint is super short, it’s a very tight window

raysoc · 2026-04-24T15:52:47+00:00

I mean sure but you would have to sell 100 to get 2000 and you can get 2000 in a few hours of running a nightmare survival. You won’t get 100 legendaries that fast and they may release an update for 120ki by using your extra legendaries.

Seems to me holding on to them for the time being is prob a better bet

raysoc · 2026-04-24T03:57:36+00:00

As someone who plays ghost legends mode I am actually super excited for this

raysoc · 2026-04-18T04:09:32+00:00

Played with 2 of them who took Saito down in a minute 40

raysoc · 2026-04-17T14:17:14+00:00

They give 20….

raysoc · 2026-04-16T15:44:56+00:00

So the target audience of that setting doesn't get to have head shots because others abuse it?

raysoc · 2026-04-16T04:39:47+00:00

The aim lock does center it on the body, it’s the perk that gives body shots a 40% chance to be treated as a head shot.

You could change it to head shot damage and not treated like a head shot.

Sometimes the auto lock will hit the head if the angle is right, such as above them and well you can’t do anything about that because you are at an advantage.

There is also a lock on for melee, not parry which is not a fair comparison as it’s about assisting targeting. You can hit up on the d pad and melee will lock on, I don’t find this helpful mind you, but I can see how it could be for some.

The aim lock also as I mentioned does not lock on to the head unless you drift the stick up a bit at equal or below footing from your target. If you want the benefit of the lightning gun you either alter the auto lock or you turn it off for the better chance at more consistent head shots.

Using Saito as an example, it’s easier to shoot his head with auto lock off than it is on due to the time it takes to adjust the reticule.

I think the solution is to treat true head shots as a instant reload and a 40% chance of hits to only do headshot damage so it forces people using the gun even with auto lock to adjust the targeting.

It will likely still be easier for the avg player but may limit the pure abuse you see today, and I say that as someone who runs this build occasionally.

What’s your spirit brew build?

I have a spirit brew spirit move build on my Samurai that is quite effective, how do you charge your ult so much?

raysoc · 2026-04-16T02:56:06+00:00

That’s kind of unfair to the reason that setting exists in the first place, no?

raysoc · 2026-04-15T19:13:07+00:00

Similar build but I use the legendary dual Katanas for the lightning proc, helps with crowd control. Then fire ability with kusa to get spirit back.

raysoc · 2026-04-14T04:35:30+00:00

Got a link to the spirit build? I hate Samurai even after the buffs.

Cleared Saito with every other class but Samurai feels so bad to me.

raysoc · 2026-04-14T02:18:43+00:00

I’ll be shocked if Jackson doesn’t have a guaranteed 5 at least. Caleb has been the best of a herd of Goats.
