Quick Throw lets Naoe whip out tools mid-fight and chuck them at enemies like a true shinobi with no time to waste.
Here’s how to unlock Quick Throw, how it works, and why it’s handy when things go sideways.
How to Unlock Quick Throw
Unlock Requirement:
Knowledge Rank 1 (Unlocked early through basic activities)
Spend 1 Mastery Point to activate it
Tip: You earn Mastery Points by completing quests, taking down targets, and doing pretty much anything that doesn’t involve hiding under a table.
Quick Throw Controls
On Controller: Hold LT + Tap RB
This auto-throws your equipped tool at the nearest target—no aiming required.
What It Actually Does
It’s fast.
It’s automatic.
It’s perfect for interrupting enemies, or hitting environmental traps without fiddling with menus.
Works on tools like kunai, bombs, or other throwable gear.
Upgrade Effects
Quick Throw improves with rank—spend more Mastery Points to reduce cooldown, increase damage, or unlock special effects depending on the tool.
Why Use Quick Throw?
Let’s be honest—when you’re surrounded, fumbling through your inventory isn’t ideal. Quick Throw gives you instant offense or utility when you need it most.
It’s especially great when stealth fails, and you’re trying to create chaos (or distance).
Final Blurb
Quick Throw turns Naoe into a walking toolbox of pain, letting her react fast and stay on the offensive. Unlock it early, and you’ll never look at your inventory the same way again—mostly because you won’t need to.
