Kendo
Fighting StyleSword fighting style — guard breaks, aerial combos, synergizes with Anubis.
Combat Ratings
Overview
A sword-based fighting style focused on guard breaks and aerial combos. Kendo has the highest skill ceiling with 4 moves and strong guard-break utility. Whirlwind is a guardbreak slash that forces enemies out of block, Whirlwind Air delivers vertical slashes in mid-air with ragdoll, Silent Edge is a forward dash with a flurry of quick cuts, and Rising Tempest stomps the ground to drag enemies in before slamming them. Lower combo potential (6/10) but highest damage per hit of any style. The Samurai Master is inside Kame Yu Market at Bus Stop 15. Pairs best with Anubis (unique Weapon stat scaling), Made in Heaven, and C-Moon.
Moves
A slash attack that hits nearby enemies and guard breaks them, forcing them out of their block stance and leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
Two upward slashes that launch the opponent into the air. Use this after a ground combo to extend damage in an aerial chain.
A dash-slash combo that creates stun flurries. Excellent for closing distance and chaining into follow-up attacks with rapid cuts.
Stomp the ground, dragging enemies upward with 3 slashes, ending with a powerful knockback. The highest single-move damage in any fighting style.
