Ghost of Yōtei Endgame Builds: Best Loadouts & Charm Synergies for Post-Game Domination

The path of vengeance may be complete, but your journey through Ezo’s unforgiving wilderness is far from over. The Remnants of the Yotei Six and New Game+ challenges await, demanding sharper instincts and stronger builds than ever before.

While most guides stop at the ending, this breakdown goes beyond victory — revealing devastating loadouts, charm synergies, and armor perks that transform Atsu from a survivor into a legend.

Let’s dive into the most powerful Ghost of Yōtei endgame builds that dominate even the fiercest post-game battles.


⚙️ Core Mechanics for Late-Game Domination

Before assembling your ultimate build, you must master these crucial systems that define endgame combat efficiency.

🗡️ Weapon Alignment Mastery

Late-game battles feature enemies with complex attack patterns. Weapon alignment — a rock-paper-scissors-style system — dictates who wins the clash.

Matchups to remember:

  • Katana > Sword/Katana users

  • Dual Katanas > Polearms/Spears

  • Yari (Spear) > Kusarigama users

  • Kusarigama > Shielded enemies

  • Odachi > Brutes and armored foes

Being “weapon aligned” accelerates stagger damage and guard breaks, making this system essential for top-tier play.

🪶 Charm Slot Expansion

After collecting 15+ total charms, your Minor slots upgrade into Major slots, unlocking up to six Major Charms at once. This upgrade is a game-changer, allowing specialized builds that adapt to any encounter.
