Tips for using Toya

Toya is a solid addition to your crew as a silent assassin. His Katashiro combined with Shadow Step can make him travel great distances unnoticed and also immediately attack and kill a targeted guard, when it is safe to do so. Should you wish to knock out or kill in the normal way, Toya has a quick animation making him a perfect candidate to execute quickly. Just note his carrying of bodies is done whilst standing and so this makes him highly visible to other guards.

His Bird’s Voice ability is a great distraction technique that covers a large radius. It can lure guards into an unsuspecting ambush, which works well if you use it, and then hide Toya nearby (not exactly where you used it) and then sneak up on the guard as they inspect the exact area you used the ability.
