Ashina Arts (葦名流, School of Ashina) is a skill tree in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, this skill tree focuses on combat and swordplay. This is the Skill Tree for the player who plans to be in direct confrontation with enemies often, and who does not care too much for stealth tactics. Because Bosses are likely to be fought in this manner, placing some points into this Skill Tree is recommended to all players.
Each Skill Tree consists of a variety of skills that are categorized as Combat Arts, Shinobi Martial Arts, and Latent Skills that will allow players to alter and customize Sekiro's overall effectiveness in combat and survivability.
How to Acquire Ashina Arts
- The Ashina Esoteric Text is given by Tengu in Ashina Outskirts. After you assist him with his rat problem, return and he will give this to you.
