Kunai

The Kunai is a throwing blade and the first Ghost Weapon Jin unlocks. It staggers nearby enemies on a quick throw, giving you an opening to finish them or escape a crowd.

Category: Thrown

Good to know

Unlocks when your Legend reaches The Wandering Samurai rank, for one Technique Point.
You throw two at a time, three after the Hidden Blade technique.
Serrated Blades (2 Technique Points) doubles Kunai damage.
Capacity: 3, 4, 5, then 6 in New Game+.
Capacity upgrades cost 10, 20 and 30 Predator Hides at a Trapper.
High-tier Mongols and leaders throw Kunai at you when you hide out of reach.

How to use it

Equip it with R2 and left on the d-pad, then aim and throw with R1. It shines against a single tough enemy: stagger him, then follow up with a heavy attack or a finishing blow.

Techniques

Hidden Blade (1 point) adds a blade to each throw. Serrated Blades (2 points) doubles the damage each blade deals. Both sit under Ghost in the Techniques menu.

Where it comes from

Ghost Weapons are tied to Legend. Each of your first rank-ups opens a new tool, and the Kunai comes first.
