Kensei Armor Stats and Passive Armor Effects
| Effects |
|
|---|
The Kensei Armor gives you massive increase in Resolve gained and damage dealt using Ghost Weapons, making it the most versatile armor for dealing with any situation. You will be accumulating Resolve very quickly to continuously throw out powerful techniques such as Heavenly Strike or Dance of Wrath on foes.
The armor set’s best feature, however, is allowing you to significantly reduce the attack and defense of enemies hit with Ghost Weapons. When fully-upgraded, any foe will lose half of their combat potential when struck by a kunai or any other throwable Ghost Weapon in the game.
