Weapons, techniques and tools in Joe Musashi's arsenal, explained by fans.
According to the game's official description, Joe Musashi's arsenal includes the great Katana Oborozuki, Kunai, Ninjutsu arts and Ninpo, together with Amulets that enhance his abilities and Ningi tools that help him overcome obstacles and uncover new paths. The cards below explain each part in general terms. They do not list effects, rarity, upgrade costs or unlock requirements.
Weapon
Kunai
Throwing knives that extend your reach. They are useful for engaging from a distance and for situations where stepping closer is risky.
Kunai TechniquesNinja Art
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu arts expand what Joe can do beyond weapon strikes. Experiment with them to understand when they suit a situation.

Ninpo
Ninpo is a further branch of the ninja arts. Treat it as an additional option in a fight rather than a substitute for solid fundamentals.

Ningi Tools
Ningi tools are discovered during play and help you overcome obstacles and open up new paths, which makes them closely tied to exploration.
Exploration & Ningi ToolsLearning the Ninja Arts
Master the basics
Get comfortable with the katana and kunai first. The ninja arts work best on top of solid movement and basic attacks.
Experiment safely
Try Ninjutsu and Ninpo against ordinary enemies, where a mistake costs little, so you learn how they behave before a serious fight.
Revisit with new tools
When you discover a new Ningi tool, think back to obstacles you could not pass earlier. New tools can open new paths.
Does this page list every technique?
No. The site only describes the categories named in official game descriptions. Individual technique names, effects and unlock conditions are left out until they can be confirmed, so nothing here is guesswork.
Can I buy or unlock abilities through this site?
No. This fan site has no shop, no codes and no unlock tools. Everything in the game is obtained by playing the game itself.
How the arsenal fits together
It helps to think of Joe Musashi's arsenal in three layers. The first layer is his weapons: the Katana Oborozuki for close combat and Kunai for range. The second is the ninja arts, Ninjutsu and Ninpo, which add options beyond ordinary strikes. The third is made up of Amulets, which enhance his abilities, and Ningi tools, which help him move past obstacles and find new routes.
Weapons as the foundation
Almost every fight starts with the katana. Learn its reach and rhythm before worrying about anything else. Kunai complement it by letting you choose when to engage. Together they cover most everyday encounters, and getting comfortable with both makes the rest of the arsenal easier to use.
Ninja arts as options
Ninjutsu and Ninpo are best understood as tools for specific situations. Rather than trying to use them constantly, notice when a fight feels awkward with weapons alone, and test whether a ninja art changes the situation. Over time you will build your own sense of when each one is worth using.
Amulets as personal choices
Because Amulets enhance abilities, they let players shape how Joe plays. The best choice depends on your own style and the challenge in front of you. This site does not rank Amulets or list their effects, because those details are not confirmed here, and a ranking would only be an opinion presented as fact.
Ningi tools and exploration
Ningi tools connect the arsenal to the stages themselves. When you find a new tool, it is worth remembering places where your path seemed blocked. Read Levels & Exploration for general advice on hidden routes and revisiting areas.

Choosing the Right Tool for the Moment
The arsenal is most effective when each part is used for what it does best. These general questions can help you decide what to reach for. They are fan suggestions, not rules, and they deliberately avoid describing specific effects.
Is the enemy close?
Close range is where the Katana Oborozuki shines. If an opponent is already near and open, a confident sword combo is usually the natural choice. If it is near but not open, consider stepping away first.
Is approaching risky?
When walking towards an enemy would put you in danger, Kunai let you act from where you are. They are also useful for starting a fight on your terms rather than reacting to it.
Do weapons feel awkward?
If a situation feels clumsy with weapons alone, that is a good moment to consider Ninjutsu or Ninpo. Pay attention to which situations make you wish you had another option.
Is the path blocked?
An obstacle you cannot pass may be a hint that a Ningi tool is needed. If you do not have the right tool yet, note the location and come back later.
Does your style feel off?
If the way Joe plays does not match how you like to play, look at your Amulets. Because they enhance abilities, trying a different one may suit your approach better.
Did a plan fail twice?
When the same approach fails repeatedly, change the tool rather than repeating the attempt. A different opening, a ranged start or a ninja art can change how an encounter unfolds.
How to Experiment with the Ninja Arts
Many players never fully use the tools a game gives them. They find one reliable approach and stick to it, even when another tool would make a situation easier. Deliberate experimentation is the cure. The suggestions below describe a low-pressure way to learn the arsenal without spoiling anything about specific techniques.
Choose a safe place
Experiment against ordinary enemies in an area you already know. When you are not worried about losing progress, you can pay full attention to what a tool actually does: how quickly it happens, how enemies react and where it leaves Joe afterwards.
Ask three questions
For each tool, ask what it is good at, what it is bad at, and what it costs you to use it. That last question matters: every action takes time and may leave you exposed. Understanding the trade-off is what lets you use a tool confidently in a real fight.
Keep simple notes
A few words on paper or in a phone note can be surprisingly useful. Write down which tools helped in which kinds of situations, and which ones you tend to forget about. When you return to the game after a break, those notes remind you of options you might otherwise overlook.
Combine tools gradually
Once each tool feels familiar on its own, try pairing two of them: opening with Kunai before a katana combo, for example, or bringing a ninja art into a fight that you usually handle with weapons alone. Add combinations one at a time so you can tell what actually improves your play.
Revisit earlier areas
Because Ningi tools help uncover new paths, gaining one is a good reason to think back to earlier obstacles. You may find that a place you could not reach is now accessible. This site does not list where those places are, so the discovery remains yours.
Common Misconceptions
“There must be a code to unlock everything.”
This fan site does not publish codes, cheats or unlock tricks, and it cannot confirm any. Websites promising instant unlocks for this game should be treated with caution. Abilities and tools are obtained by playing the game.
“One tool is always the best.”
Every part of the arsenal suits different situations. A tool that feels weak in one encounter may be exactly what another one needs. Rankings would be opinions presented as fact, so this site does not publish them.
“Ninja arts replace good basics.”
Ninjutsu and Ninpo add options, but they work best on top of solid movement and weapon skills. Players who neglect the basics often find the ninja arts less effective than expected.
“An APK version has more abilities.”
The game is available on Google Play, and this site does not provide APK files. Modified or unofficial files can be unsafe and may not reflect the real game at all.
