In Shindo Life, you can gain skills and abilities from the kenjutsu of your character, and some kenjutsus give very powerful moves that you should consider for your build.

Kenjutsus have 4 unlockable skills that both require you to have reached a specific level with your kenjutsu and a specific number of Ryo to unlock.
The lower the rarity value of a kenjutsu, the harder it is to roll.
Like bloodlines and elements, you have to roll for kenjutsus in Shindo Life. It costs 10 spins to reroll your Kenjutsu, compared to 1 spin to reroll bloodline or element.
You can get your first kenjutsu by pressing ‘M’ in the game to open the menu, clicking Kenjutsu at the top, and then clicking the ‘Change-Kenjutsu’ button. It doesn’t cost any spins to get your first kenjutsu.
After you’ve acquired your first kenjutsu, you can reroll it by clicking the ‘Change-Kenjutsu’ button again and then selecting ‘[RANDOMIZE] 10 SPINS’.
To see the name of your current kenjutsu, click the ‘Change-Kenjutsu’ and look above the icon of your kenjutsu at the bottom. Its name is displayed as X Ken Style, with X being its name. You can also see all of them on the right side.
That’s the tier list on what the strongest kenjutsus are in Shindo Life!
