Make your loadout work for you in combat! Up to three items, such as one that boosts poison resistance or one that gradually restores your health over time, can be equipped on your character in either Story Mode or VS Mode. Choose wisely because the game offers a wide variety of stuff to unlock!

-
Training Paths

Put yourself up against the Hashira! Players will move through a succession of tournament brackets with constantly shifting victory criteria after deciding which path to take and which Hashira to fight. This keeps each tournament round interesting and novel.
