The Stone Striker is a legendary gear item from the multiplayer Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. It is a legendary weapon that goes in the Katana gear slot.
How to Get the Stone Striker
The Stone Striker is obtained as a legendary random drop when completing Ghost of Tsushima: Legends missions.

What Perks Should I Equip on Stone Striker?
Below Level 120
Way of the Flame is a great overall ability because it sets targets on fire but also makes your melee attacks unblockable.
Stone Master is also great for unlocking faster heavy attacks.
Level 120 with 2 Perks
Way of the Flame & Water Stance gives players a consistent option to deal with shieldmen. Also, the Water Stance charged heavy attack can apply the way of the flame quickly.
Any 2 stances also give the player more flexibility that will be similar to the Master’s Katana.
