Ronin – AJ’s class mod

Ronin - Class Mod by AJ

*"The katana carries the soul of the glorious warrior. Today, it is just a tool for killing."*

A disgraced swordsman from the far East. He was once a proud warrior of a powerful vassal, but his own greed and sin led him to the road of destruction. Now, with nothing left to lose, he has come to this abandoned land to seek his only remaining purpose: to die with honor as a warrior.

🎭 Role positioning

Ronin is a textbook frontline glass cannon. He can deal extremely high potential damage, but has poor dodge ability and low health.

Not only that, he is a technical warrior with a handful of skills to overcome his weaknesses. It requires a specific skill set and team composition to unleash his true damage potential. He can now also be trained as a tank killer, capable of breaking through the protection of high-defense monsters.

✨ Design instructions

Wow, finally a brand new class (not just a port from). I've always wanted to make an oriental-themed career, and a conversation in chat inspired me to make it happen. It took a little longer due to other work and commitments, but it's finally done! While functionally speaking he doesn't bring anything entirely new to the table (plays like a cross between a good girl and an assassin), I think he has a pretty good theme.

⚔️ Skills

  • **Flash Slash**: Basic attack. Nice range.
  • **Swift Continuous Slash**: Attacks all enemies, needs to be used from the back row.
  • **Dagger Technique**: A high-damage attack that can only be used from position 1.
  • **Meditation**: A skill to self-heal health and stress. Can only be used from the rear.
  • **Yan Hui**: A weak long-range attack that can increase its own damage.
  • **Defensive Stance**: Improves own defense and adds a counterattack effect to increase dodge when hit.
  • **Mind's Eye**: Weaken the target and increase own hit and critical hit.

💡 Game Tips

  • Many of Ronin's skills have position restrictions, but he also has a few skills that can move him. Try to find skill sets that work.
  • I also like to use **Defensive Stance** at the beginning of combat because the dodge bonus from counterattacks lasts longer.
  • You can also team up with other team members who have displacement skills to help him adjust his position better.
  • If needed, use movement skills to try and get off the front lines to avoid some powerful attacks.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
