Best Ghost Weapon Damage
A thrown-weapon loadout that stacks Kensei Armor with damage and status charms to push Ghost Weapon damage as high as it goes. Kunai volleys and Black Powder Bombs wipe out whole groups in a couple of throws. Extra Resolve gain keeps your heals and special abilities available the entire fight.
Damage
Ghost Weapons deal +70% damage in base game (+80% with Tier V armor)
Survivability
Enemies hit deal 50% less damage, Resolve II keeps heals available
Boss
Kunai volleys, five per throw, with burn and +50% damage taken
The core of the build. It boosts Resolve gain, raises Ghost Weapon damage, and makes any enemy hit by a Ghost Weapon deal 50% less damage while taking 50% more. The final upgrade needs New Game+, but Tier IV already covers most of the value in the base game.

How to Obtain
