System
Essence
- Enemies drop essence on death.
- Essence can have different colors and effects.
- Essence can be absorbed by holding Y, which makes Ryu gain a charge level instantly.
- On max essence charge, the charge attack changes its animation and power.
- Essence absorbed by charge attacks does not heal or give yellow essence points (needs confirmation).
Yellow Essence
- Yellow essence is a currency used at the Muramasa statues to buy items and weapon upgrades.
- The amount of yellow essence that is dropped depends on the enemy killed (this is static between difficultes).
Blue Essence
- Blue essence both heals the player and grants additional yellow essence currency depending on the enemy's yellow essence drop value.
- Small blue essence heal 125 HP.
Red Essence=
- Red essence adds +1 Ninjutsu stock.
- adds yellow essence points? confirm
Green Essence
- Mission mode only
- Increases Karma multiplier
20-Hit Essence Rule
If the hit count is over 20, yellow essence is a guaranteed drop, preventing blue essence from dropping. Intentionally reducing hit count is necessary. It is unclear whether this is per enemy or total hit count. Source: wiki
