Rise of the Ronin is an action-adventure game that takes place in late-19th-century Japan. Team Ninja has paid a great deal of attention to combat in the game, and that is evident from very early on. Before players start their adventure in Rise of the Ronin, they have to choose a Blade Sharpening Origin.

Once they have made their choice, it is time to dive into the world of Rise of the Ronin. After a few hours of playing, gamers will immediately notice that there is no shortage of loot in the game. Players can find tons of different weapons, but they will have to increase their proficiency to properly utilize the armament.

How To Increase Weapon Proficiency In Rise of the Ronin

Rise of the Ronin: How To Increase Weapon Proficiency

In order to improve weapon proficiency, players will have to use a particular weapon in all their fights. For instance, if players keep using Katana in their fights, the weapon's proficiency will go up and, ultimately, increase the amount of skill and stat points gained. So, keep using the weapon that suits your playing style the most.

On their journey, players will have to fight other Ronin. They can be found in towns and on the road. These enemies are dangerous, so players must approach them with the utmost caution. After engaging in a fight with a Ronin, players will get an opportunity to test their skills. By defeating these Ronin, you will increase your proficiency in the enemies' weapons. One thing to keep in mind is that attacking the Ronin will cause your wanted level to increase, and once it is maxed out, you will be chased by peacekeeping authorities.
