Best Onryo Charms in Ghost of Yotei

Okay, so as someone who plays Atsu a lot, let me tell you about Onryo Charms. They’re seriously awesome for boosting her killer moves – basically, anything where she’s taking out enemies or scaring them. They also help with her ability to come back from the brink! What I’ve found is that these Charms make it way less risky to go all-in with her Onryo powers because they soften the blow when you *do* get hit. It lets me keep using those abilities more often, which is exactly what I want!

As a big fan of Atsu, I’m really excited about the Defense Charms! They’re all about keeping her alive longer in battles. Basically, these Charms give her extra health and let her withstand more damage before going down.
