Rise of the Ronin Respec Guide: How to Respec in Rise of the Ronin

In Rise of the Ronin, players must choose their character's Blade Sharpening Origin at the start of the game. This choice is important because it decides how the character's stats are spread out and what special skills they get. However, as players progress through the game, they might find that they don't like their initial choice and want to change it. Luckily, Rise of the Ronin allows players to respec their character. In this article, you will find all the information about how to respec your character in Rise of the Ronin.

Unlocking the Respec Feature

Before players can respec their character, they need to unlock the Longhouse. To do this, they must follow the main story quests until they reach the "Follow Your Blade Twin" mission. This quest takes players to the Pleasure District, where they meet Taka Murayama. After talking to her, players need to go back to Ryoma and then meet him outside the Longhouse in Yokohama.

Once players have access to the Longhouse, they can go inside to find various options, including the ability to respec their character.

How to Respec Your Character

To respec a character in Rise of the Ronin, players need to follow these steps:

1. Go into the Longhouse and choose the "Relax" option.
2. Select "Blade Repair" from the menu.
3. Use a Brush Kit, which is a special item needed for respecing.
4. Choose a new Blade Sharpening Origin for the character.
5. Reassign all the Skill Points and pick new Special Skills.

It's important to note that players need a Brush Kit to respec their character. This item can be bought from the Black Marketeer NPC which is located just outside the Longhouse. Each Brush Kit costs 10 Silver Coins.

Players should think carefully about which Blade Sharpening Origin they want to switch to when respecing, as it will have a big impact on their playstyle and effectiveness in combat. The ability to respec in Rise of the Ronin gives players the freedom to experiment with different builds and playstyles without being locked into their initial choices

Just remember to spend those Silver Coins wisely on Brush Kits, as they can be quite valuable throughout your journey in Rise of the Ronin.
