Ishin! Like a rat: cheesing through dungeons

Introduction

DISCLAIMERThis guide is made to help you beat the dungeons the easiest way and get the achivements: ''Bandit Rustler'', ''Bandit Wrangeler'', ''Sanada Takedown''

IT MIGHT NOT BE THE FASTEST, It's the most deadbrain method that I could find

I'll be also be showing you how to cheese the AI easily.

Most importantWe'll be using the Wild Dance style (the most OP style)

The only skill needed, will be the Wild dance: First Step

This skill will help through a lot in this method, just becouse it let's you keep the basic combo infinitely without pressing the heavy attack, wich is not needed here, as long as you hit X/LMB/Square constantly, it will work.

Weapon needed

+

The second most important thing, will be a sword with the thunder element, you can also try to use a Fire element sword but (from my experience) I've had better results with the thunder element.

The reason this is needed with the Wild dance: First Step it's just becouse of the stunlock,

you can choose between the Firefly or the Thunderstop , the only difference between the two, will be how much time it would take to defeat an enemy.

Reasons on why:

while using the ability First Step, the thunder element will make shure that the enemy stas stuned and on the ground making it an easy punchbag.

How to get a Firefly katana for dummies:if you don't wanna waste any materials or money to craft a Firefly blade , you can steal one from the Golden Sneaks enemies with a yellow saya

Just for you to know:

Yellow saya: thunder

Red saya: Fire

Purple saya: poison

-In order to get it you'll need the ability ''Splendid Skill:Rustling Leaves'', its like the komaki parry but for swords and it also makes them drop ther blade (also heard that the higher grade your blade is, the higher the chance to make them drop it but idk)

Once you have it I'd recommend to upgrade it Into the Thunderstop so that way this method becomes easier.

Optional Equipment

In this section ill only tell my recomendations and tips to make it easy

Gun:

Not really needed for this method but I'd recomend something that can break guards easly( although the Wild Dance:First Step will brake it eventually if you keep spaming the attack bouton)

Aromor

For armor, you can choose whatever you feel is best, but I'd highly recomend the head equipment: ''True Grit Emblem'', mainly becouse of ninjas and their ability to stun lock you with throwing blades and instantly kill you.

Troops

For troops you might wanna use Ichiban's card(ill show later why) and healing troops

Method

Once you have the ability and the blade you can start with whatever dungeon you wanna start.

The moment you enter into a room full of enemies, quickly start spaming the light attack button and don't stop until its dead, you won't have to worry if he gets up, becouse this is where the thunder element shocks them and makes them fall to the ground.

AI cheeseFor some reason the enemies will stay back and watch while you stun lock one of the enemis, I like to call it ''the patient NPC from Assasin's creed effect'' where the AI will patiently wait in line their turn to attack you, but be aware that the moment you defeat one of them, they will jump at you like a rabid dog, so you'll need to quickly change by dodging or caughting another enemy during the combo.

Dealing with bosses

In order to deal with the bosses you will need to focus mainly on the boss himself and leave the minions for later since apparently the boss do not respect the ''patient NPC from Assasin's creed effect'' and will attack you no matter what you are doing, luckly if you foucus on the boss the minions will stand buck and finish him without interruptions.

Also keep in mind that some of the bosses will be more resistant to status effects, meaning they wont get stuned so easly, so be careful.

Tip:

By the time you reach the boss room you'll probably have your heat gauge at maximum, this is where Ichiban's card will help.

Once you step in the boss arena use the Troop card and also activate the wild dance special ability and keep close to the boss, this will make so it could insta kill it or, leave him with half health.
