VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
What charms actually do
Capcom states that equipping charms strengthens Miyamoto Musashi's abilities. The storefront does not publish an effect description, numerical value, stacking rule or ranking for the named charms.
That means a responsible build guide can map ownership and access now, but should not claim that Lion Dog raises damage, White Monkey changes health or any Deluxe charm is best in slot until the final game or an official manual establishes those effects.
VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
Where and when to equip them
Charms are changed in the Charms section of the Equipment screen accessible from the Main Menu. Capcom warns that Spirit Mirrors, Change Appearance and the relevant equipment interfaces unlock separately through story progression, so a redeemed charm may not be immediately selectable in the opening minutes.
- Confirm the bonus is installed or redeemed
- Progress until the Charms section becomes available
- Open the Main Menu Equipment screen
- Change one charm at a time when testing an effect
- Separate charm effects from cosmetic sword appearances
VERIFIED OFFICIAL FACTS
Edition and exclusivity caveats
The Deluxe Kit is bundled with Deluxe and Premium Deluxe editions. Preorder rewards depend on the purchased tier, and Capcom says preorder bonuses may be made available after launch. They should therefore be described as early-access bonuses, not permanently exclusive items, unless a newer statement changes that status.
