Fighting Style
Samurai Warriors
Kuniochi is the fastest character in Samurai Warriors. She is the fastest runner, rolls far, and has the highest natural jumps, and her pre-existing double jump adds on to this. Her running speed makes her ideal for Castle Stages as she can zip through floors, roll through any trap and jump into special ninja paths to make life easier. On the field ninja paths are again useful, and her speed is such that a horse is optional, and although she can't run as fast as Matsukaze, she comes close with high leveled Tenku Shoes.
As for her fighting strengths, again the word speed applies. She is annoying to fight against because she can pull off an attack before a lot of characters can even begin their swings; when using her, make note of this. Her moveset is useful for the situation. Her , , (), () is used for killing generals, her , , , (), () kills crowds if your element is either Fire, Lighting, or Ice, and arguably most multi-useful attack is , , , , (), () as it hit crowds, and damages generals and it is useful for taking on multiple generals at once.
Kunoichi, although horses are optional for her, is a great horsemen. Her string comes out fast and combos generals enough to be deadly, and for crowds her , , and , , , kill crowds quite nicely, the former has more range, but the latter more power.
As far as ranged combat, Kunoichi isn't quite the best. She doesn't do horrible at it however, her main drawback is her lack of power, so she has to use multiple shots (Which means unless your knocking them off a horse don't use on fleeing foes), but her forte in ranged combat is her reload speed which is among the fastest, like her enemy Hanzō, and the ranged expert Magoichi.
Weapon Suggestion
These are some Suggested Weapons for her, playstyle however differs among players, so some might not work for you that are listed, and some that aren't listed may work miracles for you
Some suggested stats for weapons for her are:
Flame or Ice Elements - Flame greatly improves her combos as they are multiple hit and keeps foes in the air, on top of this it gives huge range and area to her , , , (), ()'s explosion. Ice glues an enemy to the ground allowing more damage and easier combos
- Attack range - Kunoichi's reach is rather low. This helps improve it.
- Attack - Kunoichi's attack isn't the highest, so this helps her kill easier.
- Speed - Kunoichi's speed is one the highest so this takes advantage of that and improves it further if augmented with Tenku Shoes she can run as fast a horse easily
- Things not suggested
- Lightning or Dark: Lightning screws up her combo's especially , , (), (). Dark changes her explosion to a thin projectile without much area, and it's effect is almost negligible.
- Hare Greaves- her jump is high enough to reach any ledge she needs to, and she is already augmented by double jump.
Warriors Orochi
While her C2-3's explosion was reduced from its introduction, Kunoichi's power, most especially due to her special skill is undeniable in both games.
Kunoichi's main offense tool is her C2-1, which is fast and triggers elements, and would remain with her even after Warriors Orochi 2 removed most C2's triggering elements. As she is a Power character, she will rarely be interrupted, and paired with her special skill, which makes her completely invulnerable, ensures that she will almost never be interrupted as she chips down crowds and officers. The primary drawback to this, however, is the special skill's high musou cost, but this can be mitigated by having Absorb on her weapon as well as the Conserve ability.
