Fudo
Type | Enemy Core |
Description | Enhance the time when enemy cores are exposed to 1.75x/2.5x. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked/15 SP |
After you unlock the Fudo skill, it will increase the time the enemy’s core remains exposed. Thanks to this, you won’t have to worry about instantly rushing to the downed enemy to extract their core. Instead, you can first focus on the surrounding enemies and then proceed with extracting their cores.
As the cores will remain exposed for a longer period, you can focus on exposing the cores of multiple enemies and then extracting all of them together. This way, you’ll eliminate an entire group of enemies quickly.
Tatenui
Type | Eather Regeneration. |
Description | Perform a Perfect Block that causes ether to appear on the scene. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked. |
If you have the Tatenui skill equipped, then not only will you stagger your enemy, but you will gain Ether as a result as well. This means that you’ll be able to easily gather Ether during combat without worrying about looking for it elsewhere. You can also upgrade the ability to II by spending 15 Skill Points to unlock Ether Boost. Through this, you’ll be able to generate more Ether than before.
Hakkei
Type | Eather Regeneration. |
Description | Start striking the enemies with strike attacks that can cause ether to appear. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked. |
Next up in our Ghostwire Toyko best skills or abilities guide is Hakkei. Like Tatenui, Hakkei is yet another skill in Ghostwire that can help you gather Ether. Again, as mentioned earlier, you won’t constantly be running out of Ether as it’s not difficult to acquire. But since you can’t risk anything in the game, it’s best to have something as a backup.
Amenokagami and Amenotori
Type | Glide and Gripple. |
Description | Travel through the air for 2/3/5 seconds. This Time can increased by spending SP. |
Requirements | 10-15 SP. |
By upgrading the Amenokamgami skill to level II, you can increase the glide duration to three seconds, which can be further increased to five seconds by upgrading to level III. This will provide you with better mobility as you can quickly move from one rooftop to another, which will help you acquire more items.
Similarly, progressing through the story will unlock the Grapple, which is another useful piece of equipment that can help you in every place quickly. By upgrading the Amenotori skill in the Skill Tree, you can upgrade this Grapple to reach places even more quickly. Therefore, as you can judge for yourself, upgrading both skills is important for getting better mobility in Ghostwire Tokyo.
Kukrihime
Type | Enemy Core. |
Description | Extend the enemy core speed extraction to 1.5x/2x. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked/15 SP + 3 Magatama. |
At its base level, the skill increases the core extraction speed by 1.5. This isn’t much, but these few seconds can save your life. This is because your character will always be vulnerable while extracting cores, and if you start pulling out cores quickly, you can prevent enemies from attacking you. By spending 15 Skill Points, you can upgrade this skill and increase the speed by 2x.
Overall, the Kukrihime is one of the best skills in Ghostwire Tokyo that you should get, especially if you have the Fudo ability unlocked. Thanks to these skills, core extraction will become easier.
Shinatsuhiko
Type | Ethereal Weaving. |
Description | Charged Wind Weaving attack’s fired shots have been extended. |
Requirements | 15 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked. |
With the Shinatushiko skill unlocked, you will be able to fire three Wind Weaving attacks instead of two. And if you upgrade this skill further, the number will increase to four. By using more Wind attacks, you can expose the core of strong opponents quickly and easily.
Even if you’re facing a group of weak enemies, you can use the increased number of attacks to target multiple enemies at once. You can even use it to keep the downed foes on the ground until you’re ready to extract their cores.
Omoigane II
Type | Spectral Vision. |
Description | It makes it difficult for you to use Spectral Vision to check for hidden objects in your surroundings. |
Requirements | 10 SP for 40m, 15 SP for 50m. |
The first skill in our Ghostwire Tokyo best skills guide that focuses on stealth is Omoigane. There are times when you need to move around without getting noticed in the game. It is not always necessary to fight with the enemies, as sometimes you should walk past them as well. This is done at times when you’re either low on health or if you don’t have enough resources to take on them. In any case, you’ll need the Omoigane skill for this purpose.

Takehaya II
Type | Charged Attack. |
Description | Reduced the Ethereal Weaving attacks charge time by 25%/50%. |
Requirements | 15 SP/20 SP. |
The Takehaya ability in Ghostwire is powerful, which is why you can deliver powerful attacks to your enemy. It is something that can even prove to be useful against large targets. The type of attack will depend upon the element you’re using.
Wakumusubi
Type | Enemy Core. |
Description | Enhance the enemy core extraction HP restored by 10/15. |
Requirements | 10 SP/15 SP. |
When you extract your enemy’s core, the Wakumusubi skill will restore ten health. This means that you’ll be able to restore your health during combat without using anything. All you need to do is focus on eliminating your targets, and your health bar will keep on going up. This skill can prove to be extremely useful when you’re fighting against a swarm of enemies.
Fukurokuju
Type | Prayer Beads. |
Description | You can easily have 2 sets of prayer beads. |
Requirements | 10 SP. |
When you unlock the Fukurokuju, it lets you equip one set of Prayer Beads. And when you upgrade it to levels II and III, it lets you equip two and three sets of Prayer Beads, respectively. Thanks to this, you can use multiple buffs and become unstoppable in combat. This makes it one of the best early skills in Ghostwire Tokyo.

Yumitsukai
Type | Bow and Arrow. |
Description | It can be used to wield a bow, which can eliminate enemies at a distance and carry 10 arrows. |
Requirements | Acquire the Bow (During X of Chapter 2). |
Unfortunately, arrows in Ghostwire Tokyo are hard to come by; therefore, you must make every shot count. This is why you need to focus on upgrading the Yumituskai skill in the Skill Tree.
As you upgrade this skill, you will be able to carry around 13, 15, and 20 arrows, respectively. You can also unlock another skill called Yuminarashi that will increase the Bow’s draw speed by 1.75, something that will let you shoot arrows quickly at your target.
Tajikara
Type | Grounded Enemies. |
Description | You can use Quick Purge to eliminate the enemies. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked. |
Tajkara is yet another skill in our Ghostwire Tokyo best abilities list that can help you extract cores. As we discussed before, extracting out cores faster can put you at a great advantage against your enemies. While the previous two skills focused on increasing the amount of time a core remains exposed and increasing the core extraction speed, Tajikara makes the process even quicker.
Inubashiri
Type | Sneaking. |
Description | Enhance the movement speed at the time of crouching 30%/60%. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked/15 SP + 3 Magatama. |
As mentioned earlier in our Ghostwire Tokyo best abilties list, the Omoigane skill lets you spot enemies through walls. This can help you with knowing the exact location of your target. You can use this luxury to sneak behind them to perform a silent takedown. However, to stay undetected, you must move while crouching. Otherwise, your target will hear your footsteps and alert nearby enemies. But with Inubashiri skills, you can overcome this problem.
Daikoku
Type | Consumables. |
Description | Enhance consumables carrying capacity to 5/7/10 for every single object. |
Requirements | 10 SP + “Takehaya I” unlocked/ 10 SP/ 10 SP + 3 Magatama. |
By unlocking the Daikoku skill, you can increase the number of consumable items you can carry to 5 for each item. By upgrading this skill to II, you can increase the number to 7. And finally, at upgrade level III, you can carry around 10 items of each type in your inventory.
You can either purchase consumable items from the shop or pick them up as loot from all over the map. Either way, it will be wise to keep your inventory stocked as these consumable items can prove useful in almost every situation.
This marks the end of our Ghostwire Tokyo best skills or abilities guide. We hope that it will help you select the right skills to use against the enemies.
