Recommended Use of Kunai
Use against shielded enemies
It is recommended to use Kunai against shielded enemies. Kunai can stagger enemies regardless of their shield defense. This allows you to shorten the time it takes to defeat shielded enemies and efficiently take them down.
Use against Mongol dogs
It is recommended to use Kunai against Mongol dogs. Mongol dogs are small, agile, and have high stamina, so it is recommended to stagger them with Kunai and then finish them off with a sword.
Effects of Kunai
