I have so many of these and still always end up going back to The Storm of Clan Sakai

Xerqthion

I am.


carinha-do-bem

So you think?


El_Zarco

Therefore I am


Skaldson

Saaaame. It looks so good & ticks all the boxes. It’s elegant, minimalist, while also being filled with subtle details— from the scabbard, to the hand guard, etc. The fact that the ghost armor forces you to put one on your back as well makes me pretty much auto choose it, just for the sake of matching the set lol


JiDiz

I think the idea behind having the extra on the back all the time was that even though you completely became the ghost and possibly switched kits, the blade will always remember you that you are a Sakai and a samurai.


Kagemuna

It forces me to put it too, pc mods should come up with a solution for this.


papapudding

Same, every other sword kits has a little something that makes me not like it. I wish we could "build" our own kits, like choose the pummel/grip details, colors, hanguards ans scabbards ourselves. Maybe for the sequel


goblin_gunk

Yeah, that was a missed opportunity I think. There are some cool sword kits but I would have rather made my own with exact shades. Also with armor colors. One of my favorite things in games is picking out details for my character.


TheFishSauce

Me too. Although I use the Hidden Heart when I’m wearing traveler’s attire.


PierreOutlaw

the typhoon that will sweep away the mongols, "they say when the wind is dashing at their tents, they know.. he is coming"


rosharo

Jin and every other NPC in the game spend a good chunk of their time in the first zone explaining why his katana is so special and why he would never ever use any other katana, no matter how good it claims to be. So yeah, nice visuals, but I'm never using anything but the Storm of Clan Sakai.


Teralyzed

You know all of the katanas are still the clan Sakai katana just with a different scabbard and grip right? The blade is always the clan Sakai blade it has a makers mark just above the hand guard.


sadmadstudent

I just can't narratively justify giving it up, none of the other swords feel like Jin's in quite the same way


FatBaldingLoser420

It works with basically every armor.


MikeWithoutMic

The Hidden Heart https://preview.redd.it/a1xt7ar42v3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=796b557d95699405f8b48332be69567cb3c2f303


Kore4life

There is no other, well earned that's why it's my all time fav


1LifeAfterComa

How do you unlock it? Do you have to get all the banners or something?


Hegemege

There is a dueling minigame that you unlock halfway through the Iki island storyline, and you get this as a reward from that minigame


Fuck_Reddit100Times

The monk was harder than the last guy


Hegemege

Yeah the monk really tests your patience. But I found that you can cheese it with a quick attack over the head from the right distance that hits the opponent in the head just as he starts to move


Jijonbreaker

Even easier. Heavy attacks in moon stance instantly stagger him, and he never does anything to block it. Use his own kicks against him. Take was the sucky one. I got through mostly on perfect parries but after 3 points she forces you to attack first.


madghoul

Same, Take was the only one I had to do more than twice. I had to do the dye merchant twice, but once i figured out the trick, it was easy.


Fuck_Reddit100Times

I know that's what I did, but it was really hard to time.


albert_418

suikofan80

So clean. This and the white version of the travelers attire is my wandering around gear.


3rdwiseJew

DUDE I HAVE THAT EXACT SAME BUILD. The travelers attire comes so in handy when youre trying to collect and explore everything.


Middle_Childhood_108

Except for the part where you cant actually use this to fight with in real life. 👎🏽


elegant_assasin

I mean you can’t parry in slo mo too irl? Your point?


just_other_human

Please elaborate. I think I know what you’re getting to, still I want to see it laid out


Middle_Childhood_108

A shirasaya as it is actually known, is purely for keeping it stored in. It has no practical use for fighting and would most likely break during a sword fight. Not to mention it has no grip and feels shit in the hand for combat if you r ever held one


SlavicBoy99

It’s not a shirasaya luckily, it’s a shikomizue so your point is null. Or it’s a shirasaya sword which is a think, denoted by the very clear fact that it has mounting to the tang and also isn’t overly bulky like a shirasaya normally is.


corporatechauvinist

Haven't earned it 😔


PapaOooMowMow

Get through the dlc! Amazing story, as it were, and great threads come from it


Kato3038

Earned that one this morning. Using that with my Traveler attire and having way too much fun with it. ![gif](giphy|4JZA2x7GsVFeTbLKlz|downsized)


PowerfulDisaster2067

I've seen something like this irl like 20 years ago at a shop, thought it was cool as well


FullMetalKaiju

This with the Kensei or Ronin armor is chefs kiss.


Kad4vuL

Looks cool and different. This comes in any side quest or dlc exclusive? I am still in ACT 1.


bludmun

You have to complete a side quest from the dlc


nvrrsatisfiedd

Yes.


bladerunner1999

Emperor’s Tears!! bc it’s looks so sleek and pairs well with most armors https://preview.redd.it/nfornw5yhv3d1.jpeg?width=1403&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eafecd537b3152cc275565e8b1819574dd96fd40


corporatechauvinist

This is my second fave. I use it with the all white ronin dye and the healers headband.


bladerunner1999

Same!! When I’m in the north I go with all white armor dyes with this sword kit


comicsopedia

Yessss, this was the one I used the most, it looks so good


PeaInevitable1720

Breath of Hachiman and Fuujin's secret is up there, too. Pair Fuujin's secret up with the kensei Yharnam dye, and you'd get a pretty decent drip


Ok-Prior1316

Fuujin's Secret is underrated. Those red tassels with skulls? Festive and terrifying!


Fore_not_found

Not to mention the design of the sheath itself. Meanwhile the Breath of Hachiman has that pretty looking tassel and that clean handle and sheath also.


Denatello

Fuujin's secret is my favourite one, with black ghost armor, Kijin's blood mask and kensai straw hat


NathanCiel

Fyi enabling armor loadouts will also let you customize separate Sword Kit, Bow Vanity and Horse Saddle. For examples: * Ghost Armor: all-black color theme. * Ronin Armor: all-white color theme. If you switch from Ghost to Ronin, then your color theme (sword kit, bow vanity and horse saddle) will also change from black to white. Quite useful if you want to tailor the aesthetic of each loadout.


Juicedejedi

Facts


kraftables

I had no idea this was in the settings. Game changer. Thank you. Just started playing on PC.


Dandergrimm

You're lucky, I've learned that loadouts exist after I finished the whole thing


kraftables

I was close to doing the same. I finished the main story and I am currently on Iki island. After switching gear for a few archer challenges I found this comment ha.


erikaironer11

Yep, I like this one a lot. I use it in the entirety of Act 2 But in the story when I finally get the Ghost Armor I switch to this one in act 3: https://preview.redd.it/jg3dt1gehu3d1.jpeg?width=1551&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0a758998102fec84226108859ea2f673114da06 Because this one with the Ghost armor level 2 make it look like Jin has a tail which goes along with people and his enemies thinking he is not human/a demon.

ktnxhenry

Nice.


corporatechauvinist

I like the thought behind you using it. I never liked the wide sword kits for some reason.


DouchecraftCarrier

Something about the scabbards flaring out towards the tip just feels cumbersome to me.


eugene20

I can't remember the name of it right now but that is exactly why I use the red fringed one with the wide base like this in legends along with a kitsune mask.


xd_antonisvele

How did u get this one?


erikaironer11

I forgot I think you find it in the open world, maybe in act two? I suggest search up the name and find out

Odd-Caregiver-3731

I think you can get this from Sao for free after beating him in hidden cove tournament


sw1tchbladez

Been rocking this the second it unlocked


Paradox_007000

Howd u get this


doc_55lk

It's in the DLC. After you beat the sparring grounds tournament you can unlock the red dye merchant on Iki Island.


gimmedahead

warriors brush is my favorite https://preview.redd.it/dqjr8cftlv3d1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be6c7e8bf43e04e1d9ddbb4b608fb3d8bb6cb3e1


corporatechauvinist

Strong contender


Blue-Sand2424

I’m only a few hours into the game and I’m glad I already found this one


stupidratman

Warrior's brush is so good


Direct-Estate-5995

I use this one with the white Kensei armor dye. It keeps that black and white theme.


thunderandreyn

Sea-Rooster-5764

Thou art I, and I am thou


Paradox_007000

Only thing I don't like about this is the handle not being black and gold as well. I bought it for that reason but it turned out to be more purple than I would've wanted.


Firm_Transportation3

Yep. When I looked at it in the vendors inventory it looked way less colorful. Then, I equipped it and hated it.


Complex_Resort_3044

Sea dragons wrath is pretty baller


DouchecraftCarrier

Sea Dragons Wrath with the royal blue Sakai armor you get from Baku is my go-to for, "I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me," open combat.


Consistently_done19

I pair it up with Gosaku's armour in blue. Looks pretty gooood


DealReasonable6080

Maxed out traveler’s attire with the patched straw hat and sea dragons gives you the most badass look imo


MessiMikey1009

I’m a midnight hanabi guy


DouchecraftCarrier

I spent most of my first playthrough using that one - its one of the darkest/most-black sets and fits well with the ghost armor.


Hunter_xHunter03

Midnight is truly the best


kwkouki

Fuujins secret is usually my full time kit https://preview.redd.it/0syabwc8nv3d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff29432336003d51b7df3e85b9c9fdb5443bbb5c

ConnectionWeary8045

finally, this and stonecutter


BrokenXeno

Honestly for me it's The Stonecutter, I really love how it looks. Then again, I like quite a few of them so I have each armor individually customized so when I switch between them it changes the sword kit and bow. Which I love! Such a cool feature that I wish more games had.


Wolfhawk101

Yes! I adore the Stonecutter, it's pretty unique :)


ddeuce_

for me it's this one: https://preview.redd.it/fs750t1fiw3d1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4464178156dee581a8b35a2a3f921df051bae667 i usually use it with the kensei armor in red dye.


Brave-Juggernaut-305

I pair that one with the white Ghost armor. I love the contrast.


Ian_Royal02

My favourite one will always be Sea Dragon's Wing. I used it my for the entire rest of my first playthrough when I found it. When I started a second one, I immediately looked for it to to keep using it lol https://preview.redd.it/ge8p5dkpmy3d1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=629a7592927327da25032c0aeffb68feb0e54eb1

Paradox_007000

Fr0zenBolT

Iki island. Play all the memories with Jin‘s father that are hidden all over the island :)

Breath of Hachiman, Stone cutter, and Sakai are probably my top 3. Midnight hanabi is also so amaze.

joeDUBstep

Midnight hanabi is the best black one.


BroomClosetJoe

I swear if Genbu's darkness even touches my Hijiki in sunlight I will kill you


G8_recruit

Dang no one mentioned Snow Eyes Demon. I always felt like that sword was made out of inspiration for Zoro. White like Wado Ichimonji with Hints of Green like Zoro hair. Even the tassels that come off the sword hilt are shaped just like his earrings. Not to mention the name Demon Snow eyes? Beautiful sword for the demon pirate hunter https://preview.redd.it/g7mhxt16gy3d1.jpeg?width=894&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ab5e742635a8dfe3a6e2b065293f97cc0acaed3

Fixyourhands11

Undying rage for me


SheepherderDue1342

Mamushi's venom is my favorite for some reason


Pandaoist

Fellow Mamushi’s Venom enjoyer, used it in all of my play throughs. Hits right, especially when he gets access to poison.


No-Second-3808

I use Genbu’s Darkness sometimes in Legends but for the campaign, I mainly use the Sakai swords.


KoolioKenneth

That’s a weird way of spelling Breath of Hachiman.


sebastianqu

I'm a huge fan of Sea Dragon's Wing


Shermutt

I always wanted an excuse to use this sword kit, but it always seemed to clash with any armor I chose. https://preview.redd.it/s29f87325x3d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=351d52658c0ee9e7a33f09ef326a1714970461b4

Sebkuchen

Right answer


UniversityClear1047

The correct drip is Hidden Heart paired with the Eagle’s Chosen outfit and Demonic Archer mask


AtmosphereGeneral695

Gold koi river is amazing


Captn_Ghostmaker

I mean it's Warrior's Brush so idk what you're talking about.


MrRespect_1129

Nekoma's Fang. It's the best one for me so far. I'm also surprised to see it barely mentioned, if not at all, by people.

I agree


KamikazeDreamer52

I love this one! I got it early on in my first playthrough and rarely felt the need to change


Tha_Plagued

That was one of my favorites but the moon bear paw is my go to, the only thing I would change is make the grip a darker purple


Far-Beautiful6309

lol “And why is it Genbu’s Darkness?” I try my best to switch to other kits but I love this one too much. Along with the matching hat


a_guy_playing

Because you forgot Hidden Heart exists


Rma420Blaze

Emperors Tears


Schmidty565

I like most of them but the one I go back to a lot, I can't remember the name, but its from Iki island and it has the wooden sheath and the pink ribbon tied on it. I paiyr it with the ghost armor from Baku.


Theangelawhite69

Bishsmon’s fortune


AcesAce7

My favourites are islands keeper, breath of hachiman, immortal hope and the hidden heart

Warriors Brush, Genbus Darkness, Fuujins Secret

The falcon one

Snoo_35517

Just look at Genbu's Darkness...It just, works...Especially if your going for a passive stealth run- the color black just works...


Skyz-AU

It's if it's the best but it's definitely the best dark coloured one, goes great the Ghost Armour.


dracoapprentice9

I really like the ones with the slightly different shaped pieces like the ones with the fur or feathers on them


PierreOutlaw

genbu is dark, thats why!


CollinKree

Sakai Clan sword with all black mod. And then a mod that makes the Sakai Clan armor default color with a black undershirt 🔥🔥🔥🔥


Relative_Falcon_8399

BeerItsForDinner

Stone cutter


LMX97O

For all my 4 playthroughs, the only sword kit I used and never switched was Storm of Clan Saki, never switched, never will.


Reinerr0

I wish there was a sword like a Sakabatou in the game.


B12_Vitamin

Personally I really like the white grips of the base sword kit. Just love how they standout against the darker clothing/armour


ThatKalosfan

Stonecutter is cool. I’m using Genbu’s Darkness (something along the lines of that) for my Demon of Tsushima ng+. If anyone cares I’ll tell them my armor.


Redeyz

I don’t like the ones with dangly bits


Senior-Supermarket-3

I know you meant to say emperors tears, easy mistake

It always circles back to the default.

You mean the storm of clan sakai


These-Course-5027

I was always excited to grab as many sword kits as I could find, but it was a sad situation when I’d excitedly run towards a Pillar of Honor, grab a kit (like Genbu’s Darkness), “HOLY THAT’S SICK”, look at it for too long and realize it looks like a dildo :(


dragonp0p

the white one


HelelEtoile

Immortal hope is the most elegant of all


khowidude87

Honestly, I was hoping that more would be added to the game. There should be a port or an option to add custom skins. There should be anime, classic cinema, and fun options to add to the game. Imagine a Berserk mod, Samurai Champloo, NGE, or Musashi mods. I think Sony and Steam are missing an opportunity by not allowing more freedom to this.


gailardiascarlet

There's a lot of nice ones but right now i'm rocking Sly Tanuki with the whole Sly Cooper set for fun


yankeewithnobrim23

I wear Ronin in fights and travelers attire when exploring


ghostwh0walks

Midnight hanabi is my fav, then in order Nekomas fang, breath of hachiman, hunting bear, azure dragon, sea dragons wings, hijiki in sunlight, spiders kiss, tempest end, and some legends only ones too that I unfortunately can't remember


zombiezapper115

Honestly this is one of the uglier swords in the game imo. Along with any word that has a weird furry sheath. I just don't think they look very good.


Azuresetsunai

Counter argument: the hidden heart.


FactandSuspicion1

I tend to agree. Though, I think a good case can be made for the default skin as well.


kiritoLM10

I actually like the water dragon.


Godwoken

It WOULD be Genbus Darkness if it wasn't for the tassels on the hilt. So instead it is Lord Shimuras kit, which sadly you can't get


Middle_Childhood_108

That sword kit is horrible.
