Ghost of Yōtei: Legends is finally here, and depending on your experience with the original, it can be quite the doozy of a co-op experience, especially on greater difficulties. Sucker Punch Productions hasn’t exactly addressed balance concerns with its enemies, but a new patch has introduced various other changes.
For instance, the active Challenge Cards will now display on a leaderboard, and you’ll now know how much time is left to put your score up. Quickplay is available by default for Survival Missions, which should improve matchmaking significantly for those interested in the mode’s main attraction.
As for player abilities, Spirit Kunai will stack with other related weapon perks. The drop rate for Caltrops, Ultimate Charge, ammo and Spirit have also been adjusted, and Shadow Flaming Arrow will now correctly ignite enemies. You’ll even receive more currency from gear dismantling, which means more for upgrades and rerolls.
Unfortunately, those leaning on the Archer for the admittedly strong True Aim Yumi will have one last crutch to rely on, as Ultimate Gain has been “significantly nerfed.”
Of course, this is likely the first of many such patches, so expect further adjustments (and nerfs) down the line. Much like its predecessor, Legends will receive a raid next month, so stay tuned for more details when it goes live.
