DBest Ninpo in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 & How to Use Them

Ninpo are powerful magical techniques that can turn the tide of battle when used strategically. Here are the top Ninpo and tips for maximizing their effectiveness:

1. Inferno Ninpo (Flame Phoenix )

• Effect: Unleashes a devastating wave of fire, dealing massive area-of-effect (AoE) damage.
• Best Uses:
  • Crowd Control: Perfect for clearing dense enemy groups (e.g., Fiend Marbus clones).
  • Boss Fights: High burst damage against staggered bosses (e.g., Zedonius).
  • Emergency Escape: Invincibility frames during activation can save you from grabs.

2. Wind Blades Ninpo (Wind Run )

• Effect: Projects razor-sharp wind blades that slice enemies at range.
• Best Uses:
  • Kiting: Safe option against projectile-heavy foes (e.g., IS Ninjas).
  • Delimbing: Helps weaken enemies for instant kills (especially on higher difficulties).
  • Airborne Combos: Combo into →↓→ (Wind Path) for aerial dominance.

3. Art of the Piercing Void (Void )

• Effect: Absorbs enemy essences to restore health and boost Ultimate Technique (UT) charge.
• Best Uses:
  • Sustain: Lifesaver in Master Ninja mode when healing items are scarce.
  • Essence Farming: Use on weakened foes to maximize essence gain.
  • UT Synergy: Faster UT charging for follow-up obliterations.

Advanced Ninpo Tips

• Essence Management: Ninpo consume Ki (Essence), so prioritize upgrades (via Scarabs) to reduce cost.
• Invincibility Frames: Time activations to dodge unblockable attacks (e.g., Gaja’s grabs).
• Combo Integration: Cancel recovery frames into Ninpo (e.g., →YXX → Inferno for explosive combos).
• Boss Weaknesses: Some bosses (e.g., Volf) take bonus damage from specific Ninpo. Experiment!

Pro Tip: On Master Ninja, Ninpo are often your safest offense—spam wisely!
