Inugami | Vendettas The Darkness II Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Inugami is a perfect character for a melee fight, because his favorite weapon is Kusanagi katana. This character has also some bonus to the sprint, so he can efficiently move on the battlefield or escape to the safe place in danger situation. It is worth noting that his katana is somehow similar to Jackie's right tentacle well know from the singleplayer campaign, because you can perform standard attacks or more precise slashes (these are faster but inflict less damage).
The Darkness power available for Inugami is Swarm. This attack perfectly integrates with eliminations of opponents with katana, because it is very easy to get rid of them after stunning them. I recommend using Swarm particularly in those locations where you have to fight at least several people, especially since it requires relatively long regeneration time.
Full list of Darkness powers:
CATEGORY | POWER NAME | REQUIREMENTS | DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS |
Demonic | Dark Aura | 200 essence points | It raises maximum health limit of nearby players. This power is useful only in multiplayer and it is definitely worth to unlock it, because it increases chances of survival for your team. |
Demonic | Demon's Rush | 800 essence points + Dark Aura | You get less damage while sprinting. This is one of the most important powers for Inugami, because sprint is the most efficient way to approach enemies in order to attack them with katana. |
Demonic | Dark Melee Aura | 400 essence points + Dark Aura | Nearby players get bonus to melee attacks. It is not very useful talent, especially that other characters are not as efficient in melee fight as Inugami. |
Demonic | Kusanagi Master | 600 essence points + Dark Aura | Dealing more damage with katana. You can also hit multiply enemies with one slash. It is very important to buy this talent, even if you do not often use katana. |
Demonic | Kusanagi's Wrath | 1500 essence points + Demon's Rush | You're invincible for few seconds after performing execution. This is very useful talent, but you have to remember that this bonus doesn't count when you perform regular katana slashes. |
Demonic | Demonic Melee Aura | 800 essence points + Dark Melee Aura | Nearby players get large bonus to melee attacks. Same as with Dark Melee Aura, this talent is only useful only in multiplayer. |
Demonic | Kusanagi's Power | 1200 essence points + Kusanagi Master | Possibility of speeding up regeneration of Swarm attack by killing enemies with a sword and/or destroying their hearts. I suggest unlocking this power, because Swarm attack is very useful and you'll be able to use it more often with this talent. |
Guns | Infidel Darkness Mod | 300 essence points | Increases pistols' clip (regular and machine). It is worth noting that it works only when Inugami stays in the dark. I recommend unlocking this power as soon as possible, because it is cheap and perfectly fits if you prefer using katana and pistol at the same time. |
Guns | Active Pump | 600 essence points + Infidel Darkness Mod | If you press the right mouse button after shooting with shotgun, your next hit will be more accurate. It is not a priority to buy this talent, because it is far better to use katana and pistol instead of a shotgun. |
Guns | Warlord Darkness Mod | 600 essence points + Infidel Darkness Mod | Increases shotguns' and assault rifles' clip. It is worth noting that it works only when Inugami stays in the dark. You can buy this power, but only if you will use assault rifles and not shotguns. |
Swarm | Swarm | - | You can send swarm on your opponents, so they will be stunned for few seconds. You do not have to buy this talent and of course you should use it from the very beginning. |
Swarm | Black Swarm | 500 essence points | Swarm attack lasts longer. This enhancement is useful in later stages of the campaign and during play on the higher difficulty levels. |
Swarm | Swarms from Limbo | 750 essence points | You're able to attack more enemies with Swarm. I recommend buying this talent, especially if you use swarm mostly during fights with groups of enemies and not to eliminate single tough opponents. |
Swarm | Killer Swarm | 1000 essence points + Black Swarm | Increases damage inflicted by Swarm. This is very useful enhancement and I strongly suggest buying it. |
Swarm | Swarms from Hell | 1500 essence points + Swarms from Limbo | Possibility of attacking a very large group of enemies with a Swarm. This is of course enhanced version of Swarms from Limbo and if you've unlocked it already, you should buy this one too. |
