Skill Techniques
Musashi’s Skill 1 can effectively interrupt enemy projectile skills, so timing is crucial. Use Skill 2 during duels and jungling to negate tons of damage. It’s best to use the ultimate in coordination with teammates to ensure kills. Frequent minor controls can be very troubling for Musashi.
Musashi Combo
Recommended Combo Sequence 01: Illuminating Slash, Extreme Speed, Niten Ichi-ryu, Extreme Speed, Niten Ichi-ryu Maintain at least 1 stack of passive at all times to make the combo more versatile.
Recommended Combo Sequence 02: Niten Ichi-ryu, Extreme Speed, Illuminating Slash Try to hit the enemy with Skill 2, the halved cooldown allows for a more versatile combo.
Best Partners
- Yao can keep up with Musashi’s high mobility and enhance his survivability. Additionally, Yao’s Skill 1 can compensate for Musashi’s lack of hard control in his minor skills.
- Musashi needs to fight continuously in crowds, but his survivability is not strong. Liu Bang can help compensate for this weakness.
Musashi Counter
- Musashi’s ultimate has a long preparation time; Jin Chan can use her Skill 1 for quick restraint, preventing Musashi from advancing to the enemy.
- Musashi relies on continuous fighting and refreshing shields for survivability; frequent control by Niu Mo makes it very difficult for Musashi.
Counter Techniques :Miyamoto’s ultimate has a maximum chase distance; quickly moving away from him when he locks onto you can dodge his knock-up effect.
Gameplay Techniques
Detail 1: Skill 1 can block bullets and provides a brief period of invulnerability.
Detail 2: Hitting enemies with Skill 2 reduces its cooldown by half.
Avoid being the first to enter the fight and try not to attack the front line. Flank and target the back line directly.
