    What are the Optimal Gear Stats for Kensei?

    What's the best gear stats to go for on a Kensei?

    I'm currently Rep 1 and going for high attack, a little bit of stamina cost reduction and a mix of defence and exhaustion recovery. Is this a good way to go?

    The decision is yours fellow Kensei.
    Attack,,stamina recovery,,exhaustion recovery,,defence are all good,,though go with you're most comfortable with.
    Personally I dismiss revive and debuff..
    As far as the one who says no one is crazy enough to play Kensei well I'd gladly accept a challenge and part company with their head as a trophy.
    Keep the faith with the Kensei,,forever gaining initiative and strive to achieve sainthood.
    Sorry that no one before has offered advice to your post.

    Gear stats are all based on playstyle. Aggressive players need Attack+, Stamina Cost-, Stamina Regen+, Exhaustion Recovery+. Probbaly Revenge on Block and Injury+, as well as Revenge Attack.

    Personally, I'm aiming for a small boost in all stats with my gear because it's more simply to deal with than trying to figure out what you need most, then looking for that specific gear stat modifier.

    as ulrich said i would go with stamina recovery and damage, maybe exhaustion recovery on helm. atm kensei is very predictable from my point of view, so you should get used to feint alot. gl on your quest. with love and affection, fellow orochi main

    Yooo friend are you still there as a Kensie. For me (imo) invest in these key stats because the Kensie as of now is in thee abyss. Focus on high defense- everyone in the game has a combo and if you sidestep with a Kensie you lose stamina so being able to take a few hits will help. So in short, Helm: Defense & Exhaustion recovery. Chest Plate: Stamina Cost reduction & Stamina regen. Shoulder: Defense & Revenge mode defense. Sword: Attack & Defense Penetration. Hilt: Attack & Execution Health Regen. Guard: Attack & Revenge gained. Good look tho.
