• Ancestral Spirit

[edit] Equippable Items

[edit] Martial Artist Items

• Caltrops: Not really recommended. Onimaru has better choices. Only useful if the opponent wants to escape a double slash

• Flash Powder: Because there are many enemies that can easily counter Onimaru, this item is recommended.

• Origami Crane: Fairly useless since Onimaru's attacks are all high percentage. However, this could come in handy against characters such as Popo, Yoshiro, and Amaya.

• Scroll of Inner Focus: Highly recommended. Double Slash and Sword Flurry are both very expensive and Onimaru usually needs to do a range change before he can execute them.

• Jade Figurine: With Ancestral Spirit, allows him to survive a Touch of Doom.

[edit] General Items

• General's Insignia: Since Onimaru doesn't have any single hit attacks, this item is useless.

• Girdle of Iron Will: Double Slash is slow and susceptible to stuns and interrupts so this might come in handy.

• Healing Salve: When played correctly, Onimaru will be able to stay in battles for a very long time due to his high HP and physical defense. This results in many potential healing turns.

• Stoneheel Totem: Very useful item. Since Onimaru can only attack at close range, people will be switching ranges a lot. This insures you come out ahead in energy.

• Yellow Rock of Cowards: Not really recommended unless you like to chip away the opponent's health. There are better items for Onimaru.

• Mindreader's Chalice: If you can set yourself up for a Double Slash, most players will want to switch. Onimaru can spend a lot of energy changing ranges so the energy boost is very valuable.

[edit] Strategy

[edit] Strengths

• Powerful when at close range.

• Very high hp.
• Very high physical defense.
• The only character that can survive a Touch of Doom.
• Can remove enemy buffs such as Enchant Blade using Sword Flurry

[edit] Weaknesses

• Must be in close range to deal damage; virtually worthless if he is kept at far range.
• Very susceptible to light and dark damage types, unless Ancestral Spirit is used.
• Against characters with high physical defense, Sword Flurry is useless.
• Double Slash is slow and expensive
