Summary
Rise of the Roninhas one of the best mechanics an RPG with a lot of loot can have. If players find a piece of armor whether it’s a nice plated mail or a funny-looking hat, they can use it with the game’s transmogrification function. Players can swap out armor patterns at their Longhouse, which is their HQ, and retain all stats from the highest piece of gear equipped.
The Longhouse is also how players can connect with others forRise of the Ronin’s co-op feature. Going back to armor, players can equip a piece to their head, chest, arms, and feet. There is a wide range of stats and bonuses to look at in the early hours, so let’s comprise a good list for wood-be samurai to check out along with accompanying Special Effects.
8Hunter’s Cap
Defense 72
The Hunter’s Cap is a stylish-looking cabbie hat to make the player’s samurai look like a hipster. The big draw is the Handgun Perfectionist Special Effect, which, like many gold-plated ones, will carry over between pieces of armor. The more players are equipped with the Handgun Perfectionist Special Effect, the better they will be with handgun weapons. The increase in item drops is good, too, especially if players need more bullets. Plus, Zoom Magnification Up will help playersbecome better snipersusing rifles.
7Retainer’s Headband
Defense 77
There are a lot of sword-based weapons inRise of the Ronin, but the classic samurai go-to in a game has to be a katana. Marvelous Sword Saint will increase blade work with the Retainer’s Headband from attack power to Ki consumption. Bolster Effect Up is a nice Special Effect to have as it will increase stat buffs from items like if players want to increase their defense temporarily with a pill.Karma builds up over time inRise of the Ronin, which will lead to gaining skill points, so Karma Acquisition Up will give players more from defeated enemies.
Finally, Ranged Cowering Effect Up (Assassination) will put an enemy in a state of shock if players perhaps snipe and kill their partner while hiding.
6Wandering Samurai’s Kimono
Defense 117
The Wandering Samurai’s Kimono is a traditional garb for a samurai in a game if the name wasn’t obvious. Eagle-Eyed Archer is a good rare Special Effect for the bow lovers out there inRise of the Roninto help with attack and range.
Health Recovery (Counterspark) will heal players for a well-timedCounterspark, which isRise of the Ronin’sversion of a literal counterattack. Burn Resilience will lessen the likelihood of getting the Burn status effect from fire.
5Western Workwear
Defense 130
The Western Workwear suit is another dapper-looking garb that would look great with the Hunter’s Cap attached. Commanding Champion will effect flash attacks using Ki and the Blood Gauge and is not one of the better rare Special Effects. Health Recover (Low Health Counterspark) is slightly different from The Wandering Samurai’s Kimono as it only heals in dire straights. Paralysis Resilience will reduce Paralysis chances in battle, while Fast Swim Speed Up should be obvious for the avid divers out there.
4Fair Weather Gauntlets
Defense 74
The Fair Weather Gauntlets is a good set of hand-based armor with the Mighty Warrior attachment. It will provide an increase to attack power, bring Ki consumption down, and other things as players stack the property with other armor.
Bows, Rifles, and Firebombs are considered Sub-Weapons, so their attack will increase with Sub-Weapon Attack Up, Firebomb Attack Up, and Attack Up (Rifle). It’s a good lineup of Special Effects for players who like to usearcher-based gear more in RPGs.
3Gentleman’s Gloves
Defense 63
The Gentlemen’s Gloves is a more subdued set of hand armor. It fits perfectly with the Wise Doctor bonus, implying that deft hands and a fine pair of gloves will help doctors treat their patients better. Wise Doctor, to be blunt, will help players heal more as one example.
Piercing Attack Up will increase the chances of breaking through enemy armor. Players can get a variety of grappling hook-based killskills inRise of the Ronin, and Grappling Rope Attack Up will help increase the deadlines of the tool more.
2Kago-Bearer’s Cherished Object
Marvelous Sword Saint pops up again with the Kago-Bearer’s Cherished Object. This is a foot-based piece of armor that would pair well with the Retainer’s Headband to increase potency.
Ki Attack Up is good for Counterspark attacks or weapon-based attacks. Enemy Evasion Up will decrease the likelihood of enemies finding players if they escape their vision during stealth attacks. Finally, Enemy Panic Duration Up will put enemies on edge, sort of like the Cowering status effect from the Retainer’s Headband.
1Veiled Edge’s Socks
Defense 71
The Veiled Edge’s Socks are more traditional for samurai in the field. The Clear-Headed Samurai Special Effect will improve health conditions as it will give players more HP and heal through Countersparks. Max. Ki Attack Up increases Ki gain limits and its attack potential. Most missions inRise of the Roninallow players to have two alliesjoin, which is why these next Special Effects are good. Ally Attack Up will help non-controlled characters in a mission to hit harder, while Ally Blessing Effect Up will share benefits with the player’s Blade Twin if a partner uses some sort of buff technique or item.
