Ninja Build Playstyle

With a Ninja, you will rely heavily on stealth to carry out your tasks. You will have time-slowing abilities at your disposal to make sneaking and direct encounters very easy. In case of direct encounters, you can use your katana to slash enemies into pieces.

Remember, this build requires good timing to pull off critical dodges, counterattacks, and proper swordplay. Once learned, however, you should notice how quickly the cyber ninja can eviscerate even the toughest opponents.

 

Whether you’re a new or returning player, now is a great time to jump back into Cyberpunk 2077 and explore all the new changes that Update 2.0 has brought.
