Charms in Ghost of Tsushima allow players to customize their loadouts and buff certain aspects of Jin's abilities to suit their respective playstyles. While there are tons of powerful Charms to be found on Tsushima Island, the Iki Island DLC offers unique Charms not found in the base game.
One of these Charms is the Charm of Versatile Skills, an incredibly powerful Charm that doubles the effectiveness of other Minor Charms Jin has equipped, provided the prerequisites for activating it are met. Here is everything you need to know about it.
Ghost Of Tsushima: 6 Best Early-Game Armor Sets
Players will acquire new armor sets throughout Ghost of Tsushima's campaign, but some of the best armor overall is found in the early game.
How to Get the Charm of Versatile Skills in Ghost of Tsushima
The Charm of Versatile Skills is a reward for reaching the Legacy Redeemer Legend level on Iki Island. For those unaware, Iki Island uses a separate reputation system from the base game. There are three tiers of Jin's Legend of the Samurai in the Iki Island DLC.
- Heir to Infamy
- Unwavering Son
- Legacy Redeemer
To increase legend on Iki Island, players will have to complete activities on the island itself; nothing you do on Tsushima Island counts towards this goal. Fortunately, the path to the top is relatively easy. Completing the main story and doing a couple of side activities like clearing Mongol Camps, competing in Archery challenges, and playing through Tales will allow players to achieve the Legacy Redeemer rank fairly quickly. Once reached, the Charm of Versatile Skills will be immediately awarded and added to the inventory.
How to Use Charm of Versatile Skills in Ghost of Tsushima
The Charm of Versatile Skills doubles the effects of Minor Charms if they are the only Minor Charms of the same category. This means that if players have two Minor Attack Charms equipped, the Charm of Versatile Skills will stop working; its effects will be completely nullified.
Minor Charms are Charms with grey icons that can be equipped in Minor Charm slots.
Each Minor Charm falls under one of five categories. The categories are:
- Attack
- Defense
- Ranged
- Stealth
- Utility
You can identify which category a Charm belongs to by looking at the icon to the left of the Charm's name or the subheading under the Charm's title when selected (screenshot above).
Only Minor Charms need to be of a unique category. Players can have two Major Utility Charms alongside another Minor Utility Charm equipped, and the Charm of Versatile Skills will still work because it only looks at the categories of Minor Charms.
To use the Charm of Versatile Skills, it's best to equip four Minor Charms of different types. If two Melee Minor Charms or two Stealth Minor Charms are equipped, the Charm will not double any effects.
Best Charm to Use with Charm of Versatile Skills
There are many powerful Minor Charms that work extremely well with the Charm of Versatile Skills. Here are some standouts from each category.
Charm | Category | Effects |
|---|---|---|
Charm of Inari's Might | Melee | Increases health and melee damage. Find all Fox Dens to max out this Charm's effects. |
Charm of Concentration | Ranged | Increases time inside Concentration by a select amount. Complete all Archery challenges to improve this Charm's effect. |
Charm of Resistance III | Defense | Reduces all damage by a massive amount. |
Charm of Silence | Stealth | Reduces enemy detection speed by 15% and increases Resolve gains. Find all Inari Shrines to max out the Charm's effect. |
Charm of Perfect Landing | Utility | Gain 2 Resolve after successfully performing a safe landing. Versatile Skills doubles this to four. It can only be used after unlocking the Safe Landing Technique. With Charm of Silence, the Resolve gains can reach up to 8 per successful attempt. |
A Minor Charm can be equipped in a Major Charm Slot to bring out the fullest potential of the Charm of Versatile Skills.
