Not only that, but each class in the multiplayer mode gets access to tiered gear that enhances their abilities. Some of this gear, of course, is legendary. These legendary items offer some of the best abilities to use against the Mongols, so it is only fitting to go over what they actually do.
Updated June 16th, 2021 by Aden Carter:Even though there are no new legendary items that have been added to the online mode ofGhost of Tsushima,many players have come to notice ways of making new builds with the ones available. Some of the legendary items in the game are able to be combined to pull off some impressive feats. Not all of these legendary items are created equal, however, so a few are avoided. New builds for the online have proven to be extremely effective against the Mongol hordes.
20Master’s Katana
This katana is an essential piece of gear for anyone who loves switching between stances to gain an advantage on the battlefield. Those who have played theLegends Modeknow that each katana has one stance. A second stance can be added if the katana comes equipped with it or is rerolled to get it.
This can be annoying and takes away from other abilities the katanas can have. However, that isn’t a worry with the legendary Master’s Katana. This katana comes with the ability to switch between all four stances, freeing up the perk slot on it for another ability.
19Demon Cutter
The Demon Cutter has got to be the Mongol’s worst enemy, or at least one of the worst. The perk of this legendary katana gives the player a thirty percent chance of throwing nearby enemies whenever they stagger an opponent.
In other words, this katana is made for crowd control. Imagine running into a group of enemies, staggering one, and everyone else getting thrown backward by a mysterious force. That is the power of the Demon Cutter.
18Stone Striker
Any fans of Heavenly Strike? If the answer is yes, then players should hope that the Stone Striker katana drops for them. This katana gives the player access to the Heavenly Strike ability without it consuming a perk slot.
Consequently, the player can have access to any of the other useful perks to add to it. Not only that, the Heavenly Strike ability granted by the Stone Striker is stronger than the original making it great for stronger enemies.
17Yonitsune’s Hand
Yonitsune’s Hand may as well be considered a slightly weaker version of the Demon Cutter. This katana gives the player a thirty percent chance to knock down an enemy stagger by the blade. While it may not be as powerful as the Demon Cutter, it still offers the player a serious advantage over tougher enemies.
Additionally, the ability is greatwhen combinedwith an extra stance perk so players can stagger enemies easier. This weapon is also most powerful on the assassin or samurai, since they are the most effective at staggering enemies.
16Masamune’s Edge
The damage that this weapon can stack is amazing. Combine Masamune’s Edge with as many damage buffs as possible, because its ability has a twenty percent chance for the player’s damage to be doubled.

That may not sound like a high chance, but when some enemies can take a fair amount of hits, that twenty percent definitely comes in handy. This blade is ideal for going up against an Oni, as those types of enemies can take some serious damage.
15The Weightless Spirit
The Weightless Spirit is the only legendary half bow in the game, but it certainly is useful for bow lovers. Arrow drop can be a real hassle for a warrior using these weapons. Distant enemies can sometimes be a pain to hit, especially when attempting to get a headshot.
This bow’s ability makes it so that arrows no longer drop on their way to the target. It’s super useful for anyone who might be struggling with their hunter build.
14Stone Skipping Bow
If headshots aren’t a problem, try the Stone Skipping Bow. This is the only legendary longbow in the game, but it is by far the most useful forthe hunter. It’s headshot ricochet makes it great for clearing groups of enemies, and is even more effective when stacked with ranged damage. Every hunter should consider equipping this bow, since they’re the only ones who can.
The Skipping Stone box works especially well when combined with Lady Sanjo’s Surprise, due to the hallucination effect. Enemies affected by Lady Sanjo’s Surprise have a chance to hallucinate. Since this is also a dirt throw, it blinds enemies for a short while. Let mayhem ensue while the player escapes to an area they feel comfortable aiming their bow, where they can cause the headshot ricochets.
13Forbidden Medicine
This item is for anyone who is a fan of theronin classinGhost of Tsushima: Legents. Forbidden Medicine is a bomb pack that brings out the true healer in any skilled ronin. Its ability allows thrown bombs to heal the player as well as nearby allies.
Furthermore, the bombs still harm enemies. This item is beyond useful when running survival missions with the toxic cloud modifier active. The bomb pack is more than capable of saving everyone’s life — and ending an enemy’s.
12Heaven’s Sting
The assassin class is highly skilled at taking down enemies without being seen, and each skill makes killing easier. Each ability allows the assassin to hide and carefully scout the environment before coming in for the kill.
Heaven’s Sting is another tool for the assassin’s arsenal that is designed to make executing targets easier. This blowgun has a twenty percent chance to instantly kill any non-Oni enemy, making it another deadly tool for a deadly class.
11Sacred Iron
Imagine if all enemies could just be a little weaker. It would make everything easier, right? That’s why the Sacred Iron charm exists. This charm comes equipped with an ability that inflicts the Weakened debuff on any enemy that strikes the player with melee damage.

Weaken causes enemies to simultaneously take more damage, and deal less damage with their own attacks. Not much can get better than that, now can it?
