CivilianAn unarmed enemy.

Most of the time, we see him engaging in some work, or traversing a set route.

When a civilian notices one of your heroes, he won’t fight.

Instead, he’ll start to shout and call nearby guards.

Such a reaction will not cause an alarm outright, but will put the guards in search mode.

Any bang out of decoy or disorientation will work against them.

PC

SoldierA basic jot down of enemy.

Throughout most missions, he comprises a majority of enemy troops.

Straw Hat- a characteristic enemy, easily recognizable thanks to the titular hat.

PC

Armed with a musket.

Most of the time, we see him as a watchman, as he rarely patrols the area.

Straw hat is a harder enemy,as he is resistant to almost all distraction methods.

PC

Only disguised Aiko or her sneezing brew work on Straw Hats.

Other tools work for a short while, or not work at all.

Your tools will not be totally ineffective, but they will work only for a short while.

PC

Other methods include taking a shot at him with a pistol and then finishing him off using any character.

Samurais are armed with katanas and pistols.

As a result of all these traits, they are a tough enemy to counter.

PC

During the game, you will notice that enemies assume one of a few types of behavior.

After a short while, you will notice certain “trademark” personalities instantly.

Such knowledge is especially useful for quicker planning and elimination of enemies.

PlayStation

Guard- The most common jot down of enemy.

Patrolling Guard- Acts similarly to a normal guard.

Only difference being the fact that he has a set route which he patrols.

When he reaches a waypoint, he looks about for a while, and returns to the first position.

Elimination of these enemies is sometimes troublesome (e.g.

Investigator- A very irritating enemy who will cost you a lot of nerves.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

For example, an escort for an important enemy (whose elimination may be one of the objectives).

The soldiers handling the security will follow the target, and will constantly guard his safety.

Typically, such party is composed of samurais.

Our heroes have a wide range of abilities that are useful when attempting to eliminate opponents.

I am not going to include every possible combination, but the list includes those most effective.

Begin with throwing a shuriken, and then engage the opponent who is in melee range.

you could also play the flute to make the enemy follow your footprints.

Perfect combination for eliminating a mobile two-person group.

Trap and KumaPlace the trap on the route leading to the animal, e.g.

Then, let Kuna lure an enemy who will die along the way.

This combination is one of the safest for your party.

Sneezing brew (Aiko) and basic attack.

The powder limits the enemy field of vision, allowing you to approach him quickly.

Sword Wind (Mugen) and any luring method.

The ability works incredibly well versus enemy groups.

it’s possible for you to initiate the ability even.

Use Sword Wind when e.g.

These can be used to eliminate groups of enemies.

it’s possible for you to also throw corpses at enemies to stun them.

Very useful skill, considering that Mugen is able to put items/corpses onto areas that are higher than him.

Shadow Mode is especially useful when taking care of an enemy group.

You order each character to perform a basic attack onto a different enemy.
