Striker Legendary and four other great charms in Resident Evil 4 Remake

1) Illuminados Emblem Epic

The Illuminados Emblem of Epic rarity is one of the best charms in the Resident Evil 4 Remake. It boosts Leon’s melee critical hit rate by 20% which is a significant increase. Players must try to conserve ammo in the game and use the myriad knives in Resident Evil 4 Remake to defeat weaker enemies.

This charm jives well with such a playstyle and enables players to get rid of weaker enemies without resorting to guns. In some instances, a knife attack can result in an instant kill. While there are a vast variety of guns later in the game, knives are ideal for inflicting some quick damage on isolated enemies.

2) Striker Legendary

It is sometimes wise to avoid encounters and run away from formidable enemies in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Those inclined to adopt this strategy can rely on the Striker Legendary charm. This legendary trinket enhances Leon’s movement speed significantly (by 8%).

While it may seem like a small boost, it is sufficient to enable players to escape sticky situations and evade foes with slower movements and attack patterns. Furthermore, this charm is a lifesaver when you run out of ammo amidst a tense encounter wherein the only choice is to flee the battle.

3) Merchant Epic

The Merchant charm of Epic rarity is essential for all players aiming to upgrade their weapons. This charm offers a 5% reduction in upgrade costs. An added advantage of this charm is that players have no need to keep it equipped on Leon’s Attache Case as one can equip it when approaching the Merchant for some transaction.

Although the upgrades are cheaper in the early parts of Resident Evil 4 Remake, acquiring higher tiers of enhancements costs a lot of money. The Merchant charm is therefore a necessity to save heaps of cash in the long run. Players can refer to this guide on how to earn money faster.

4) Ashley Graham Epic

Resident Evil 4 Remake continues the series’ tradition of offering green, yellow, and red herbs. While one can resort to the trusty first aid spray, they are bound to run into situations wherein they only have green herbs. The Ashley Graham charm boosts the health restoration effectiveness of green herbs by a whopping 50%.

This is yet another charm players can proactively plan to use in safe areas rather than equipping it during combat. This enables conserving first aid sprays that are better used in the heat of combat. Those with no yellow or red herbs left to combine with green herbs should not hesitate to consume the lattermost with this charm equipped.
