Shuriken Wheel (Loaded Shuriken)

The Shuriken Wheel, also known as the Loaded Shuriken, is one of the earliest and most versatile Prosthetic Tools available to Sekiro in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It allows Sekiro to hurl a rapid volley of shurikens, proving useful for interrupting enemy actions and dealing consistent chip damage.

The Loaded Shuriken is typically acquired early in the game, often found in the Ashina Outskirts or a similar starting area. Its primary function is to provide a ranged option for Sekiro, complementing his melee-focused combat.

How to Obtain:

• The Loaded Shuriken is usually found in a chest or on a corpse in an accessible area early in the game, often near the Dilapidated Temple or Ashina Outskirts.

Usage in Combat:

• Interrupting Attacks: A quick burst of shurikens can stagger enemies, interrupting their attack animations and creating openings for Sekiro to close the distance or land hits. This is particularly effective against enemies with predictable attack patterns.
• Ranged Damage: While not dealing massive damage, the shurikens can chip away at an enemy's health or Posture from a safe distance.
• Aerial Combat: The Loaded Shuriken can be used effectively against airborne enemies or to knock them out of the air.
• Initiating Combat: Firing a few shurikens before engaging in melee can soften up an enemy or test their defenses.

Upgrades:

The Loaded Shuriken can be upgraded by the Sculptor using various materials. Upgrades might include:

• Increased Projectile Count: Firing more shurikens per use.
• Enhanced Damage: Increasing the damage dealt by each shuriken.
• Special Effects: Some upgrades might add secondary effects, though the base Loaded Shuriken is primarily focused on rapid fire.

The Loaded Shuriken is an indispensable tool for any Sekiro player, offering a reliable ranged option that can be utilized in a wide variety of combat scenarios.
