Rise of the Ronin

Site Positioning

The Rise of the Ronin site is part of the 500-site expansion plan. It starts by covering four search-heavy needs: story route, skills and gear, combat tactics, platinum and achievements.

This site begins as a stable index. Future work should split it into specific quests, gear pages, map routes, system explainers, update notes, and video-led guides as demand appears.
