Benkei's Splitstaff is a Splitstaff in Nioh 3. Splitstaves are staff-like weapons that can separate into two distinct weapons (like short staffs or blades) or function as a single, longer pole, offering flexibility for different combat ranges and style to deal damage to Enemies and Bosses. The Splitstaves is a Ninja-style weapon, and can only be used when the Ninja fighting style is active. All Weapons in Nioh 3 also come with their own Skill Tree, which can provide Martial Arts for Samurai and Ninjutsu (Ninja Skills) for Ninja.

A splitstaff said to have been favored by Musashibo Benkei, Minamoto no Yoshitsune's most trusted retainer. Benkei is said to have been capable of fighting with seven weapons, but as many of the weapons he is said to have used actually date from the Edo period, this is likely to be a posthumous fabrication, and the full extent of his martial mastery remains unclear. The splitstaff can be used in several ways, and even split into two to be wielded in both hands, so it is possible Benkei's observers mistook his familiarity with the splitstaff for a familiarity with multiple weapons instead.
