How to increase your Shinobi level fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty (2.0)

If you are looking to go the way of the ninja or even the samurai in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, then you might be looking to get your hands on all the Shinobi skills as quickly as possible.

The movement speed and stamina bonuses that it offers are incredible when it comes to making the most of your katana and stealth gameplay, allowing a good deal of gameplay versatility.

Here are some of the ways you will be able to level up your Shinobi skills fast in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty.

1) The way of the blade

One of the best ways to get experience points in the Shinobi skill line will be to use blades to hack through your enemies. Katanas, Mantis Blades, Knives, and Machetes are some of the best tools in the game to help you rank up your Shinobi skills as quickly as possible.

2) Take out enemies while dodging, sliding, and Dashing

Movement is key when it comes to becoming the best Shinobi in Night City, and you will have to master ways to weave around the battlefield without taking much damage.

Dodging and Dashing (unlocked in the Reflexes Attribute tree) will let you cover distance and dodge enemy attacks while at the same time allowing you to take them out by closing in on them.

This will allow you to get more points in the Shinobi skill line.

3) Rely on crouch and crouch-sprinting to take out enemies

Crouch-sprinting is another skill in the Reflexes Attribute tree, and it will allow you to cover a lot of distance quickly, remaining undetected and without making any noise. You can take out enemies while crouch-sprinting, which will provide you XP for the Shinobi skill line.

4) Parkouring and vaulting over obstacles

Vaulting over obstacles and parkouring your way as you explore Night City is another great of gaining more Shinobi XP.

5) Getting Shinobi Skill Shards

Enemies, lockers, and chests might have Shinobi Skill Shards on them. They will provide a direct level-up in the skill line.
