Weaknesses

When playing as Tsukuyomi, there are some important weaknesses that you have to keep in mind. Watching every angle of his weaker gameplay elements is what’s going to keep you alive and continue to keep the tide of battle on your side.

Though Tsukuyomi is great at a distance, he’s extremely slow and gets ambushed very easily. That’s why it’s most important to keep a good distance from enemies at all times, especially since his defenses aren’t that strong either. Make sure to be most defensive if a player is Hercules, Chang’e, Scylla, Ravana, or Thoth, as these are the best gods to use against Tsukuyomi.

Abilities

Tsukuyomi’s Passive Ability is called Shingetsu & Mangetsu; an ability that allows his weapons in both hands to gain 50% cleave and restore mana as well. So even if you need to get close to an enemy, this ability will come in handy to keep you alive and inflict some major damage to those in your path of violence.

His other abilities include Dark Moon Shuriken, Kusargama, Silver Moon Caltrops, and his ultimate, Piercing Moonlight. If you’re playing for distance though, then Dark Moon Shuriken is for you. It’s a beast of an attack and allows Tsukuyomi to get close enough to make some melee attacks too if you wish to. His ultimate is definitely worth using as well since it too allows him to attack at a range.
