Cyberpunk 2077 has an intricate perk and skill system, which can seem confusing at first. As you play the game more and more, you’ll learn new things about character customization and builds. In this guide, let’s talk about the Shinobi skill and how it works in Cyberpunk 2077.

Shinobi Skill in Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Explained

you may find all your skill levels, including Shinobi, in theSkill Progressiontablocated in theCharactermenu. Although the game doesn’t explain what it stands for, Shinobi is synonymous with Ninja and refers to a stealth-focused playstyle. Leveling up this skill can grant your character significant movement and stamina-related buffs.

How to Increase Shinobi Level

While Shinobi is supposed to promote a stealthy gameplay style, I don’t think that’s entirely the case in Cyberpunk 2077. It’s associated with usingbladed weapons, primarily theKatana. Furthermore, I’ve also gained considerable amounts of Shinobi points while usingAssault RiflesandSubmachine Guns, and they weren’t even suppressed. You should also try unlocking perks from theRelfexandCoolattributes and incorporate movement into your attacks.

You are rewarded skill points after every combat and the points allocated pop up on the left of your screen. What you’re able to do is travel around Night City and take out goons, who can be found in small groups everywhere. Try different weapons and attack styles to figure out what else increases Shinobi XP in addition to the methods I talked about above.
