Make good use of ninja tactics to attack from behind to cause greater damage."Ninjutsu" is different from previous works. It can be used by consuming the gauge accumulated in the battle, and can be used an unlimited number of times. As the skills are acquired, one can even move freely in the air, facing powerful enemies with a sense of speed that surpasses all previous "Nioh" series.
