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 near Bus Stop 4 (444m at 75° East). 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.
