Abilities[]

Most ability names are unofficial.

Interruption Resistance
While performing any attacks, the Nobushi's Interruption Resistance is greatly increased.
Sword Slash
Performs a single upward or downard slash at the player, dealing 100% ATK as Physical DMG.
Iai: Thrust
Readies their weapon on the hilt before dash-slashing at the player, dealing 150% ATK as Physical DMG. This move is always accompanied by the signature glint on the hilt, shared between all variations of Nobushi as they prepare to unsheathe.
Mechanical Thunderbow
Draws a crossbow and fires 3 bolts at the player if they are too far from the Kikouban, dealing 68.75% ATK as Electro DMG with each shot.
Taunt
Spin their katanas to taunt their opponents. They are left open while doing this.

AI Logic[]

  • An ability will only be used if all of the following conditions have been met:
    • The ability is not on cooldown
    • The target is within the range and angle required by the ability
    • The ability has the highest priority out of all that meet the previous 2 conditions
      • A lower priority number indicates a higher priority.
      • If multiple abilities share the highest priority, one will be chosen at random.
  • Global CD is shared with all nearby Nobushi and Kairagi.

Descriptions[]

Samurai who have fallen into banditry. Though they are called the Nobushi, they do not have a centralized organization.
They possess highly-advanced sword skills and also use crossbows to ambush opponents, using any means to win. Those who have abandoned the title of a martial artist often abandon their dignity as well.
Sometimes they even collude with the Treasure Hoarders or Fatui out of a greed for wealth — or simply to survive.
