Yes, charms do stack in Ghost of Tsushima. If you’re the type of player who likes to go all out on damage, that means you can equip several offensive charms and receive an increased boost to your attacking and staggering power. That applies to charms of different types as well. So equipping the major Charm of Kagu-Tsuchi (bonus damage when health is at or below 50%) and the minor Charm of Ferocity (moderate increase to melee damage) will see you dish out even more pain when you’re hurt.
By combining charms in this manner, you can focus your skills to a particular need. Fighting from a distance? Use multiple ranged charms to increase your concentration time so you can snipe multiple foes. Rescuing hostages? Several stealth charms will make enemies extremely slow to detect you. Like your special moves? Using the Charm of Fortunate Return will increase the odds of it refunding resolve costs.
