![]() Most shinai have glue stuck to the tilt so do not remove it by force. ![]() You can remove shave off the splits even with the tsukagawa on, but there is a chance of creating small cracks in the inside of the bamboo, which can cause bigger cracks, so it is recommended that all parts be removed. You first remove all the parts like the hilt-leather ( tsukagawa) and the top-leather ( sakigawa). Prepare the damaged shinai to be taken apart. The things you need to prepare are: a shinai-sharpener, shinai-file, walnut oil, tissue paper, old newspaper, and working gloves.įirst, spread the old newspaper on the floor so the floor does not get dirty. ![]() In this article I would like to show you how to repair the splits in the shinai. Yet, if you keep training the shinai will inevitably become damaged. To avoid such accidents, it is mandatory that you check your shinai before and after training. You can get splinters in your fingers or in your eye, and there has even been a reported case of someone accidentally swallowing a splinter! Simple negligence can put not only yourself but also your opponents at risk of injury. When you keep training with a shinai that has splits it can be incredibly dangerous. The turbo mode and extraction increase titles are so bizarre in their ways to acquire them that I have no idea how it goes.When the cold and dry weather drags, on, the shinai become more vulnerable to splits. When it comes to weapon upgrading, there's essentially two choices you can make (that don't involve strange things I didn't figure out): Either you take a shortcut on getting max strength by acquiring an attack power title (caps out at 1000 kills = +250 attack power), or you make the weapon indestructible (intentionally break and have smith polish the weapon 200 times). The key things to be tough enough to handle higher difficulties in the game are possessing a style that reduces the damage you take by 75%, a weapon with 500 attack power (max) and 2000 durability (max), and a big pile of weapon oil, chocolate and wine. After that, you must always use Recasting option to improve the sword. Each upgrade via tempering uses up a point of degradation. What Degradation is about, is how much you can upgrade your sword with straight-up cash payment. ![]() Okay, so what option did you use for repairing the sword at the blacksmith? And did you think Degradation reduction is damage? Polish is the weapon repair option and does not damage your durability capacity, and always preferable to whetstone if you have the opportunity due to cost efficiency. The last sidemissions are actually the hardest in the game, and the side missions in general become harder than the main storyline.Īnyway, I'll dig deep into my memory here, so I might remember stuff wrong about the peculiarities of sword repair and blacksmith. And get a fuckload of personal skill points beforehand (those are used for making custom styles out of your list of moves learned from premade styles for the desired stance). In general, the most important thing for a custom style is always the 75% damage reduction. The most important styles to master for creating a custom style are Unarmed (aforementioned True Ending path stuff), where the two most important ones are Dojima's Master's style, and mister hat's style. If you guys want to powerlevel styles in order to unlock a larger selection of moves for building a custom style, the key is to be badass enough at the difficulty to easily clear the sub-faction apology quests (repeatable), which involve killing a fuckload of weak mooks.ĭoing this with guns needs lots of weapon oil (stops weapon degradation for 5 minutes, can be farmed or purchased for loadsamoney), since guns wear down really fast from shooting (especially Jet Jenkins' revolver due to being able to shoot so fast and repeatedly).
