There are many different ways to play the game, which also means that there are many ways that players can build their character. With that in mind here are some of the best builds to help players take down the Mongols and take back their island.

Updated June 28th, 2021, By Aden Carter: Even though Ghost of Tsushima has not received any new DLC updates, Suck Punch has been kind enough to add new charms into the game for players to mess around with. The game already has a large assortment of charms that players can take advantage of. This has lead to many new builds appearing since the game's release. Nowadays, players are capable of creating builds that deal enough damage to take down enemies in two or three hits on the hardest difficulty. There are also builds that allow for even more survival when coming face to face with lethal enemies.

10 Offensive Mastery

One of the biggest aspects of Ghost of Tsushima is the combat. While some players may be tempted to beef up their defense, others have taken the offensive route. The offensive power of this build comes from the combination of the Charms of Dual Destruction and Charms of Fortune.

These charms work perfectly together to give the player a huge chance to deal double damage. The build is tied together using Gosaku's Armor. This gives the player health back for killing a staggered enemy, and also increases stagger damage. In the right hands, this build can even one-shot enemies at times.

9 Great Defense

Nothing is better than marching into a Mongol camp and having them need to use their full force just to take the player down. Builds around defense typically use the Samurai Clan Armor, which is unlocked from Lady Masako's questline, and charms that benefit defense while offering some attack bonuses.

The armor reduces all damage by a major amount. Additionally, charms like the resistance charms give major and moderate reductions to damage. Mix these with some health charms like the charm of vitality, and players can be a walking fortress.

8 Terror Build

Terror builds are great for when players want to instill fear in the Mongol hordes and have them running away like they just saw a ghost. For a build like this, players will need the Ghost Armor.

This armor is great because it gives a thirty percent chance to terrify enemies that witness the player kill someone. Stack the charm of Ikazuchi-No-Kami on this, and players will get a fifty-five percent chance of enemies running away from you. Use moves like Heavenly Strike to help further increase the fear factor. Terror builds are simple, yet fun to try out and can lead to some hilarious moments.

7 The Fire Lord

The Fire Lord build uses charms and the Ghost Armor to terrify enemies more effectively than any other build. This is done by combining the effects of the Charm of Ikazuchi-No-Kami,  2 Charms of Fire Doctrine, and Charms of Fortune I & II.

These charms work together to increase the chance of inflicting Terrify on enemies. When the math is worked out, the chance to Terrify enemies falls around 70%. This effect occurs whenever the player catches an enemy on fire or kills an enemy.

6 Ghost Weapon Mayhem

Ghost weapons are something to help players throughout the game and give them an edge, but they can also be useful at taking down enemies without the need for a sword. For this build, players will need the Kensei Armor. This piece can increase ghost weapon damage by up to thirty percent, and decrease enemy damage by up to fifty percent when struck with a ghost weapon.

Mix this with the charms of Hidden Blades, Advantage, and Inari's might, and players will be doing absurd damage without even needing to draw their sword. The Charm of Advantage increases ghost weapon damage by twenty percent. Put two of these on, and that is an additional seventy percent damage when the armor's bonus is factored in.

5 Gatherer Build

Since this game has many secrets to discover, fans have taken the time to craft a build for those who want to find every record and Mongol artifact in the game. First, players will need to get the Traveler's Attire, which is most likely the first armor set they will discover. Then, focus on the charms.

The armor increases the amount of Fog of War that is cleared from the map, while also allowing players to track artifacts using guiding winds. Charms like the Charm of Inari increase the number of resources players pick up. If players want to ignore combat for a while, they can also equip charms that will make it harder for enemies to detect them.

4 Stealth & Assassination

Many fans of the game want to focus on stealthily kill every enemy they see. They lurk in the shadows and strike when the time comes. This build will help these players become the assassin they have always wanted to be. For this build, players will need the Ronin Attire because of its abilities that reduce enemy detection speed and keep players hidden when leaving pampas grass. The best charm to use with this build is the Charm of Silence, because of its decrease to enemy detection speed.

Players can also equip the Charm of Toxic Demise to make wind chimes release toxic vapors. Furthermore, the charm of Tsukuyomi will make assassinated enemies drop more supplies.

3 Camp Clearer

Like terror builds, this build focuses on using terror to help clear camps faster, though it isn't its main focus. It uses a lot of swordplays and focuses on increasing standoff streaks. Get the Sakai Clan Armor from act two and upgrade it so the player's standoff streak is at its max (5 people). Equip the Charm of Ikazuchi-No-Kami for that terror bonus.

The benefit from terror will help clear out some enemies, but then players must deal with the stragglers. For this, players will want the charms Amaterasu, Well-Being, and Resolve. These will give health back for each kill, increase the player's resolve gains, and give more health when healed.

2 Stagger Master

This is by far one of the best builds to use against bosses. It increases the player's stagger to amazing levels, so they can easily wipe the floor with many enemies. For this build, players will want to use Gosaku's Armor because of its increases to stagger damage and health. It also gives players the benefit of gaining health each time they kill a staggered enemy.

Mix in the Charm of Amaterasu and players will gain loads of health from all the stagger kills. Equip the Charm of Bludgeoning to further increase stagger damage. Players will also want the Charm of Shinatsuhiko to further increase stagger potential. It allows for uninterrupted melee attacks for six seconds when staggering an enemy. Top it off with the Charm of Susanoo, to give staggered enemies a thirty percent chance to fall down.

1 True Warrior

This is a build for anyone who wants to maximize their damage potential and run headfirst into combat. Gamers will need the Ronin Attire for its thirty percent increase to melee damage.

Add on a few charms like the Charms of Inari's Might, Ferocity, Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto, and Kagu-Tsuchi to get additional increases the melee damage no matter the player's level of health. Gamers can round this build-out with a few charms to increase your healing or resolve, but the main focus is melee damage and quick deaths to the Mongol hordes. Equipping the Charm of Takemikazuchi will allow the player to get increased melee damage as well with each kill.
