My character looks like she stole her fit from Yamato from deadlock...>cleared 5/8 zones on heian>not a single 1kat has dropped the entire time
Virtually every samurai weapon got huge buffs but odachi. Did this weapon shit into someone's cereal?It's still strong but why the fuck does it have five hold triangle moves while lacking two guard X slots?Why doesn't bolting boar works on yokai anymore? Why does mid stance bounce off guard now?The new abilities it has are all fun, but the weapon could easily be way better.
can every single human enemy in the game be cheesed by spamming parry? the window is generous as fuck and the cutscene locks them out of any counterplay. I charge up a martial attack when they're down and just chain parries over and over
>>733605341>yamatai is just a classic nioh levelit's kino
>>733607151>cheesedNo, parrying is the highest level of skill expression possible. The entire action game genre is built around it now.
>>733607151yes humans without living weapon mechanics are just training dummies in nioh and they always have been
None of the ninja weapons are that fun
>>733607463Wrong. Hatchets are insanely fun.
>>733607357nu-humans (Kunimatsu, Okita) are more powerful than LW users (only Takeda Shingen I think?)
>>733580723which side quest?
>>733607775I'm counting all of the passive hyperarmour stuff in the same category and I don't care about the lore
>>733607463well, Im having a blast.
They should add aerial flash attacks in both trees. You can style switch to a different weapon mid-air at least, it feels more like a coincidence that some moves can chain together rather than intentional design. If you could stitch together every aerial move on a single ninja weapon with unique inputs it wouldn't feel like such a gimmick. That's not happening, so flash attacking from hatchets to something else in the air while keeping momentum would give that playstyle more options.
Why the fuck are there so many red graves around that big Jailer Oni near the Edo Castle: Inner Gate shrine?
>>733607936They regen Ki so they aren't LW
What's my bread and butter on 1kat? I'm trying to switch over from 2kat and I'm getting absolutely wrecked. The martial arts take forever to pull off and the regular attacks seem to have poor range. Help.
Bros, Bakumatsu is so fucking BIGIs NG+ meaningfully different with enemy placements? I'm immediately thinking about an Onmyo focused run, but I don't know if I should start over instead.

>>733607962The important part is that you can't lock them down because they don't stagger, which is necessary because the Nioh MC is overpowered and clowns on interruptable NPCs

>>733608763Same reason there are a million bloodstains around the only place you can die in Fromsoft hub areas. Because it's the only place you can die and the game is still going to try and load X number of graves/bloodstains for the area of the game you're in
So do I just go completely on the defensive against Okita? There seems to be a random chance he decides to hyper armor grab me.
>>733609313>on an enemy who ignores every single aspect of the game established thus far :)))))))))Boy do I have a game and boss for you!
>>733609313He has one simple rule: Don't attack first.(you can break the rule with some broken sturff)
!
>>733609595With tonfas you can just wail on his guard with pulverize until he does his super slow hyper armor overhead swing and then kannagi out and continue until he runs out of ki or hops backwards. The grab is super easy to dodge.

>>733605341So what's the gold farm for this game, I know a couple of the good item farm spots but not the gold spots.

>>733607463for me, its the 1kat
>>733610031Splitstaff bros, what happened
>>733609882Best gold farm is also probably the best item farm, that room full of angry red dudes in the Bakumatsu crucible.
>>733605341I platinumed the game last night after 80 hours just taking my time. I think I'm done, I have a level 148 character decked out in green gear ready for the DLC. Hopefully there's a new weapon I jive with, because I really didn't care for anything besides Fists, Axes, Hatchets, and Kusarigama
>>733608375Kek, I wonder how much easier Way of the Samurai: Veteran would have been with that. I know that scroll is probably child's play, but I hardly ever use Samurai. I had an Odachi equipped and basically alternated between Moonlit Snow and the repeated sweeping attacks (Ground Sweeper, I think?), which made that fight very easy. Also, Jesus Christ, the ninjutsu you unlock at Veteran are insane and I'm not even heavily geared or specced (currently got 20 in everything) into it. I'm tempted to forge an Iga Jonin set just for the recharge and damage bonuses.
>>733610179There's also the 6 guys in final crucible, I kind of prefer that one right now because I can just warp right to it as long as I don't kill final hirako.

>>733611354because your supposed to attack him as he wakes up
>>733610098I'm using splitstaff and it has many issues, one being that the attack extension gimmick is simply does not go well with ninja playstyle. It has way too many martial arts locked to a single input. Also the basic light combo string is complete ass and flows terribly, with your character awkwardly taking time to split the weapon apart and whack with it like a caveman. The weapon also has only one heavy attack, airgame that keeps you dangerously stationary and it has some issues with input queueing
Yokai drop the puddle way too fucking fast. They do that and the dark realm shift within half a second of running out of ki.
>>733611354>we have dragon ball burst limit at home
I tried out a couple of samurai weapons after 1kat but I gotta say the feeling of variety for 1kat is what's really missing in other weapons. I appreciate all the different vibes other weapons bring like the chaining of fists or the ungabunga smacks of axe but it gets a bit monotone. 1kat has just so many different visuals, movements and angles, sometimes slow and heavy sometimes fast and snappy for martials arts.
>>733611485yea, it's just not very impressive. I guess breaking his combo is nice but the low stance parry seems better. and easier.
>>733611427What's the difference then? On A Toughness, the only time I notice getting staggered while attacking is when I run out of ki. I slotted that skill recently to check it out (I had some free points since deflect window increase didn't buff 1kat with mystic art and 2kat), and I didn't notice anything different.
Does style shift spam at low ki with ninja 2kat and a decent speed samurai weapon ever stop working on human enemies? You get infinite free attacks and force them into constant blocking until they run out of ki, then grapple them and rinse repeat
>>733611760human enemies are there for you to bully, have fun
>>733611649maybe if he was confused it would feel better maybe then his ki wouldn't recover as fast
>>733605517all gamers are faggots
>>733611853I haven't really figured out a good way to apply confusion. I'm just kataning my way through the game. Might check that out in NG+.

I have a theory on why ninja players die a lot to Kunimatsu. They're used to playing extremely aggressive. If they poked to regen ninja weapons and then just statused him with that, most of his attacks are not that threatening far away. If you try to fight him like almost every other boss and just go crazy on him it will take a long time to perfect the reactions to his attacks. Also he has some attacks that are designed to fool ninja specifically who will go for the back, like his wind attack that if you dodge it leaves his back exposed, then the convenient sonic boom after it comes in and hits a ninja as they move in.
>>733611981someone post their dumper, they get lost on purpose
Why do you think they chose to make the fields more linear after the first? Do you think they realized the open field was a mistake and tried to course correct? Was map 1 hell to optimize and so they went a different route? Or is it just how different level designers interpreted the task?
>>733613082Budget probably.
>>733611653You're right there is no difference
is there any reason to gather the little kodama homies and molest the weasels in ng+?
I've seen like 4 of these "increase attack on deflect" skills. I assume they stack right?
>>733613082habit? preference?>>733613234no, there's tons of sources of increased attack and they all overwrite one another, including the very short, very weak "increased attack on elixer" from the kodama blessings
>>733610332Yeah, ninkat's strong hold attack with the strong followup into that is just obliterating enemies. I've been trying to only use it on annoying enemies, though it is fantastic for revenant farming.
What's the optimal loadout for ninja? I like pinwheel because of the long animation it keeps you in the air to regain your ki and the storm kunai does massive shotgun ki damage but it doesnt really feel optimal. is it worth it to slot 2 calamity skills?
>>733607960Probably because they're actually dying to the boss and the game is changing what they died to to prevent spoilers.
>>733613082First map was made with the understanding that you wouldn't have any of the Spirit Vein abilities. It had to be flat and plain.Heian has many wallrunning and ninja gaiden jump spots, so putting a bunch of tall walls and towers in a bunch of places became part of the layout design.And Bakumatsu goes all out with extreme verticality since you get the grapple and flight.Heian and Bakumatsu are also a lot more dense and object heavy than Sengoku, so those tall walls and long flights are surely for the sake of large object culling.
Bro's I think we're gona make it...
>>7336135133 calamity and hiruko set are the go to if you want to demolish what little challenge the game has to offer
>>733613576>to to prevent spoilers.lmfao
Is this really the only decent spear set in the game? I guess its nice that its only 4 pieces but holy macaroni spear is totally neglected in 3.

>>733613513It depends on what you're trying to do>full magic onmyo/ninjutsu buildYou'll want 3x calamities. With a specific setup you can one hit almost every enemy with them>physical ninjutsuFire shuriken and enhanced shrapnel bomb are both very good, though the bomb has the drawback of having a huge windup time which makes it not feel good to use. Poison shurikens can be good if you have status ailment buildup buffs in your build, but they don't contribute to confusion. Storm kunai are good for what you've described, but normal shurikens seem better than normal kunai since they don't deal that much less damage, charge faster and you can hold a higher stack>utilityLightning step is amazing for movement and cicada shell is very good for both evading attacks and then immediately doing backstab damage, but because having 3 slots is so limiting it can be hard to fit them in

>>733614109Giga shrapnel bomb being unusable in the air is a death sentence for me.
>>733614190Yeah it's good on paper but I personally hate using it. I use lightning step, fire shuriken and currently poison shuriken since it only takes 2 for most enemies for me, but I'd like to replace the last one with something else
>>733613513I fall back on an overall utilitarian set.Thunder Calamity because it's the fucking railgun.Fire Shuriken for utility, a bit of ranged chip damage and stalling enemies' Ki recovery with delayed explosions.Shrapnel Bomb in the third slot for burst damage and crowd control, but I swap it out for some other stuff depending on the situation, or something gimmicky to fuck around.
I'm running out of things to do and I'm getting sad as I have more I want to do.
>>733614013if it's the same buff icon it doesn't stackif it's a different icon or no icon it stacks mostly. for example these two stack
>>733614116that anon is fucking retarded. they didn't do that to avoid spoilers. it's a bug and definitely not intentional. the takeda gauntlet mission had a revenant bug as well before they patched it. and it still sometimes shows up if you replay the mission after beating it
>>733614013if its a temporary buff, activate it and then activate another buff of the same name to see if it overwritesfor example, last stand does not overwrite carnage talisman because the buffs both stay togetherelixer damage buff overwrites carnage talisman because the buff refreshes with the shorter elixer durationthis anon is also correct >>733614395i believe there is a menu in the stats screen to show what all of the icons mean, and if they share an icon, they overwrite one another
>>733613513any calamatyfire shuriken for ranged dps and sniping waspspoison breath for instant and consistent application. does insane damage to larger targets and ticks for over 1k damage against itsumade, and more for bosses
>>733613898you're better off stacking generic bonuses. people dickride reduced damage during attacks but its not that hard to get some really high martial arts damage bonuses, and arts proficiency damage bonuses as well. if you get lucky on weapon graces or dont mind losing a grace 7 piece, the 2p warrior of the east gives like 10% martial arts damage and 3p brave demon hunter give 15% martial arts damage.if the damage bonus (spear) is anything like the damage bonus (axe) from the kintaro set, you are looking at like a 1% increase in damage vs those bonuses. a ton of moves on spear arent even thrusts. grace of inari 7p is a full 28% additional final damage too
>>733614846all the best damaging spear attacks are all thrusts so its probably worth it. triple threat already gives you full poise and ki pulsing when you time it right, it's a super powerful skill.
>>733605341Yokai owe me sex
>>733615009>tornado>flying monkey heavy follow up>resounding lunge>windmill>spear bash>spearfall>high stance light attacksmiss me with that shit, thrust damage sucks ass. there is more to spear than triple threat, it is one of two good thrust moves, and the other (twisting spear) takes fucking forever to come outyou also literally get a bigger damage bonus for 3 pieces with yasakani, or 5 pieces without, and actual toughness instead of paper armor
What are some bugs you've encountered so far? I just now had to do the Black Feather Sanctuary quest a second time, it was the first main quest I did in the 2nd zone, I just killed the fag that summons yokai to fight with him and my marker sent me back to Otoroshi's boss level, and I had to kill that ugly fucker for a second time before I could progress into the castle.This game needs some serious patching.
>>733615240you forgot piercing thrust which is also insane damage. tornado is really the only other spear skill worth using since they nerfed the fuck out of spearfall.
>>733613082I think they identified the open map bloat as a problem with Rise of the Ronin's design and tried to strike compromise with the demonstrably successful level design they've had in their other Niohlikes
>>733615348that's fair, i forgot about piercing rain, but its still literally better damage to get martial arts bonus than to just do thrusts
does anybody know where to farm for goemons set? I want to try an aerial 2kat ninja build to see how cheesy it gets.
>>733614452Take a look at the graves by the boss door. They all say killed by Jailer Oni, which would be impossible since that one cannot fit down there. It makes more sense to me that the devs would change the cause of death to prevent new players from getting spoiled to maintain the surprised when they open that door. The Four Kings bug involves red and blue graves spawning in an area that they shouldn't be, not changes to their cause of death.
>>733615714>to prevent new players from getting spoiled to maintain the surprised when they open that door.NTA, but you genuinely are retarded. Especially when the fight takes place at the same place it did last time and how obvious it is what the level is leading up to, with Kunimatsu disappearing after the yokai invade the dojo.
if i wanna try out different weapons in the post game do i really have to respec my samurai/ninja points all the time? seems like such a downgrade compared to previous games
>>733616009I'll check the very first Edo visit when I get home to see if the mass graves are present and if the deaths are attributed to the Jailer Oni. A new player would potentially have no clue who or what is behind that door, which is the group that the devs wouldn't want spoiled.
>>733616484It is pretty dumb. At least there is the Skill Loadout Customization save slots.But then it's even more dumb that it doesn't unlearn/relearn the skills; you have to manually reset one weapon's skill tree and learn another's, then apply the skill loadout.

Stats power rank!1. IntellectEffect duration affects both buffs and debuffs (like Confusion) so it's more important for magic than Magic. That alone would be enough for top 3 and arguably top 1, but INT also gives free Ki regen. THE best stat no contest.2. MagicMagic OP as always, but this time the stat doesn't increase buff/debuff duration. Still mandatory 40 at least.3. Skill Core for both Ninja and Samurai, boosts their primary methods of outputting damage.4. Stamina Necessary to wear your stuff, if you wear stuff. First thing to get early-game.5. ConstitutionHP is nice to have, doesn't give all that much so it's down here.6. StrengthDoes fuck all (10% ki damage at 99), but it's needed to activate some gear.7. HeartDoes fuck all. Just pump INT for Ki regen.
this forest was probably my favorite area in all of nioh 3. the game really has no variety in environments and this small minizone stood out. shows you how grim areas are in 3.
>>733616567I checked for you. There are no graves on the intro version of the mission. You're also ignoring the point the other poster was making in that the boss kills shouldn't be spawning revenants.

I finished Nioh 1's main missions but the side missions with the yokai are kicking my ass. Am I supposed to be on NG+ gear? Same with the DLCs
bloodedge demon in ng+ is annoying as heck. im trying to add difficulty by using no buffs and debuffs and this guy actually puts up a fight.
>go to assassinate random mook>he sidesteps it with style as I assassinate the guy standing behind himok, thats new
Huh, so funny story, the boss that took me literally 50 tries in Nioh 2 only took me 1 try in Nioh 3 and I don't know how
>>733620431casual slop
>>733620431because you have a l \ot more tools to fight him compared to then
>>733620431why is he in a jojo pose no matter what frame you take the screenshot in
>>733619665It's all good, anon. Apology accepted, even if I'm not thin-skinned enough to let bants like that get to me.Now, to shift things away from my retardation, where has everyone been placing their benevolent graves? I'm still running through NG (currently at the first shrine after Antiquity), but I've been placing them at the start of stages and at the last shrine before the boss. The only one of my three I haven't overwritten is the one that's located in Warring States. It's right at the slope that leads towards the fields where a named enemy fights you. For some reason, that one has nearly 75 summons and gets close to 10 per day. I'm kinda tempted to go and place new graves down around Pride's and Envy's arenas to see how many summons I can get that way.
do enemy bases matter for ng+ i know the chests can give decent rewards but is it still worth it?
>>733621508Some Enemy Bases and Dark Realms spawn new Crucible Wraiths that will increase their Rare Core drop rate.
>>733621508nothing gives new rewards in ng+ except crucibles/crucible spikeseverything else can be safely ignored, since the best farming spot is in the last mission and will give you everything you need
>>733621578>>733621587i didnt think team ninja could make a worse endgame than wo dong or SoP but here now there's nioh 3... atleast rise of the ronin gave a lot of exclusive endgame missions for online and the alternate timelines to play through.
>>733621839wait for dlcalways wait for dlc
>>733620431ninja stance shits on this guy so hard in particular
Anyone have any luck finding a crucible weapon with Tornado Edge? Been farming for fucking hours. Or is 100% random and any hammer from any crucible can have it?
>>733620431bro...he was easy in nioh 2...
>>733621984full rng
>>733621984can you trade crucible weapons with revenants? might be a way for players to trade like in the old days.
>>733621984it really should not take that long to find itthe crucibles drop different weapon skills based on progression. i thought it was pretty early, but i could be wrong. i know i had it at least before antiquity, so try the crucible missions before then
>>733610597holy shit source?
>>733622173it is clearly AI slop
>>733622173its grok slop from one of the random anons who was in a nioh thread a few days ago, no artist or handle
I have to say, the default healing button being D-pad Up is dumb as fuck, how the fuck am I supposed to walk and heal? The claw grip?

>>733622782>schlorp schlorp schlorp
>>733622782nigga i just wanted more of it, are you brain damaged or something?
>>733622782its called slop because its low efforthe pasted an image someone else took and asked it to jiggle the boobies and copied that over here, it took him all of 5 minutesi dont care if you jerk off to it, i checked out the grok slop thread on gif earlier today, but it is categorically and inarguably slop
They really didn't do enough with jumping and "air combos" to justify them. You stay in the air for no time at all and most enemies aren't even built around it anyway.
>>733620431They didn't really do much to improve the preexisting Yokai. They were obviously still built around the movement and options from 1/2, but now they're in a game where you can jump, spam ninjutsu without limit, drop pokeballs, etc. I like it but compared to 2 it just feels messy, honestly.It feels like a mod almost. It doesn't even feel as long of a game.
>>733622985Yeah, probably because they didn't really design enemies to handle you being airborne. A couple bosses and new enemy types do account for you jumping and air-stalling (some like Soji will attempt to jump up and hit you with a Strong), but most will helplessly whiff under you if you're high enough.Most of your airborne attacks really suck, too. A couple weapons like Hatchets get great Mid-Air moves, but most are so bad and short range that you're best off disabling those skills.
>>733623268Feels like they sort of fucked themselves over with the decision too. They literally ran out of buttons so they had to rework the controls to account for this new option, but it's not that great and now everything just feels sloppier by comparison.Can't say I -ever- fucked up any button combinations in 1/2 but some skills just seem needlessly stacked on top of each other because X is now dedicated to jumps. I tried different control schemes but I still fuck up basic shit like how Kurama Sword Dance and Swift Step since they're both mapped to L1+Square. The window to trigger Swift Step is pretty small and of course it locks into Kurama which is a longass animation, making either seem less viable than they should.
>>73362270930%
>>733620431combination of you were probably still new to nioh combat back then and you're much lower level when you first encounter him in 2 with no set bonuses yet, barely any skill points, no magic, no ninjitsu.
>>733621984that was my very first crucible weapon in the demo lolwhy I dropped axe so early, yeah it's strong but goddamn is it boring af to play at that point just turn on cheat enginewent fists and never looked back way more fun.
>>733623485the input window in this game is needlessly tighti have a shit ton of muscle memory for cestus and never had any issue stacking the passive in 2, or even in wo long since it has the same passivei am regularly only stacking the passive maybe once per fight one time in 3 because the "sequential" window is so fucking small, it literally has to be buffered as far as i can tell
>>733622985They're just throwing in a bunch of shit they liked from sop and wo long in an open world and hoping it all magically works outIt makes sense since that's what they did with nioh
Is Sword of Meditation really that good?
>>733623761Try it bruh. Respec is free.
>>733623761it does a lotta damage and is free to pull off since you can get hyper armor with the cum gauge and one passive skill (and a big damage bonus, and you can do it over and over)yes its that good, it is good enough to do the "kill x boss without taking damage" titles even up to and including the final boss.
>>733623761super good, but a bit boring to focus an entire build around it
has anybody had any luck with the sudama blessing? it doesnt seem to do much at all.
>>733623932It works. Farm enough shit and you can see the loot bias working.
>>733623932its placebo, i've gotten one yasakani drop and it was for the style i hadn't selected for
>>733623901>cum gaugeremember to see a doctor if your cum has a blue-ish tint
>>733620431to be honest, he was definitely nerfed, he stands around doing nothing a lot more (like the Gaki) and his tranformation to Dark Realm he doesn't even do the immediate tornado spin. And if you remember in Nioh 2 his stupid kick always des 100% of your Ki, now because of Deflect it kinda never happens.
>>733623706I get wanting to try to do more but I honestly would've preferred 2 again with maybe 2 new weapons, 20 new Yokai, and slightly better graphics. The bigger more open environment isn't that impressive, the game isn't good looking enough to impress me. I do appreciate some attempt to gate certain areas to progression using guardian spirits, but they hardly devoted a lot to it. 95% of each map is totally open once you get to it, it's not like they gated entire portions of it. Just small side activities. You never get to see an area but not reach it, they're just small arenas or master fights.Some of this is just bitching but as a whole it just feels sloppier than 2 in every way. I am one of those fags who thinks 2 is one of the best games ever. I can see myself going back to 2 after this. Not so sure if I'll ever return to 3 after this year. :/
>>733623932Works pretty well for me. My item box is packed full of the same gear.It seems like if you fill out every slot on the wishlist, it favors some pieces of gear over others?
>>733622709biggest noticeable change is low stance dodge distance on Samurai, you go really far with the little step
Does wearing two Yasakani Magatama stack the effect, or is it redundant and you only get -1 while wearing two?
>>733624163No
>>733624163The latter
>>733623901It has infinite hyper armor no matter what
>>733622870whenever someone uses the word slop i assume they're retarded.
>>733624112i've noticed its a pretty big effect for ninja even although i dont think it really matters all too much.
>>733624279only because you're a slop enjoyer and don't like being reminded of it
>>733624163>equip 2 Yasakani>every 2pc set bonus in the game activates all at once
Can a blue Sentry Core even drop? I've been farming this shit for hours
>>733624057Nah the game's a big downgrade in a lot of ways, the open world is ubislop and people are coping about how it's actually a bunch of small nioh levels because it's pretty clear within a minute of playing that the levels are way less elaborate and more sparse and a lot of movesets are gimped from the split. Despite all the recycling there are also still a lot of enemies they left out so you're just fighting gakis and jailer onis the entire game. It's still good but a lot of third entries have a problem with changing the scope for no reason.
I love my lil green niggas, but I hope one day there'll be a Nioh game with the option to mute the kodamas at shrines. I like taking a break there but I could do without without the constant sfx.
>>733622985You can stay in the air a long time with ninja 2kat.
>>733622841>>733622870>i liked it so much and thought it was so high quality that i wanted more>then i found out it was made by ai>nevermind i dont like it and think its actually low quality nowretarded niggers LOL>>733622842>i wanted more>but when i found out grok make infinitely more videos i got mad??????you should be celebrating that grok can make videos that good. go prompt grok and make more
>>733624570how
>>733622985with air dodge, enemy hopping, and mid-air ninjutsu canceling you can actually stay in the air for a pretty lengthy combo depending on the weapon.
>>733624620you are mentally illnobody has complained about it being AIthe mermaid slop they posted earlier was good too, its still just slop
>>733623932i get more drops of the chosen items, but shit luck getting crucible modifiers on them, at least on the 170's
>>733624680Divine Flight can be continuously chained together for as long as you have ki. You can do two normal attack in between each one as well. Certain GS skill can be used while in the air and also keep you in the air after using them. In particular, the tengu girl is fantastic for air time since you can use the feather barrage three times in a row and regain ki while still airborne. The only thing that limits your air time is ki really. Well, that and Divine Flight does have trouble sometimes with the way the game limits your travel distance while airborne.
>have a ninja set specializing in air attacks>be heavy as shit>uses one of the worst ninja weapons for actually attacking in the airdid goemon have autism?
I will never understand this practice of having the main hub town be disconnected from the rest of the map (Eternal Rift, Roundtable Hold, ect). The main problem with the open world meme is the player not having much reason to interact with the map outside of sprinting straight for the objective. Having a the hub or even several hubs scattered across the actual world would help with this immensely. That being said I think Nioh 3 is one of the better implementations of open world shit. Bloodedge Demon's are a really interesting idea to give you a reason to actually revisit the world instead of just rushing Battle Scrolls. Now they only need to make them actually drop enough rewards to make it worth farming over just camping and resetting a shrine in a Crucible. More dynamic shit like the Bloodedge Demon's like rare spawns and respawning field bosses or something could really go a long way with this concept
>>733625086I have the feeling they intended us to farm the Minor Crucibles seeing as they respawn naturally and can even be forcibly spawned but those don't drop enough to be worth it
why is there no way to reduce weight from armor? are they saving it for dlc?
>>733625016Talons have that hold heavy in mid-air rush attack that lasts for quite a bit.
Team Ninja has the perfect opportunity to introduce greatswords in the dlc and they better fucking do it.
>>7336254672kat has a mystic art that buffs you for attacking and staying in the air as long as you can.
>>733625815saber and pistol or we riot
Are there some weapons that can't roll as crucible weapons? Any way of checking which ones?
>>733625448does defense actually do anything? “Physical resistance” stat at bottom of armour is meaningful, but the primary “defense” stat seems just pointless. By lategame players have like 2000 Defense, but what is it actually doing? It can’t be that meaningful.Reducing weight option would just be the obvious meta choice for everyone except builds already stamina maxxing for other reasons.
>>733625815We already have odachi I rather have them give use some transformation weapon like switchglaive or sword and pistol
What the FUCK do you do with amrita when you hit 250?
>>733626125silibar ingot and save for DLC
flying kato is my favorite ninja set. i know its not meta but it allows easy A agility with ninjitsu spamming.
>>733626109>transformation weapon... sword...Why not both?
>>733626109Bayonet rifle calling it, plays like a shorter range spear but with some ranged comboes.
>>733626109a more smashy axe style greatsword could be cool, maybe with a big overhead charge smash since we dont really have a traditional "monster hunter greatsword charge swing" style attack or naginata that plays with more swipes than speari'm really hoping we get whip from wo long, would be a great ninja weapon
>>733626253Is it time?
is it me or is kasha a bit shy, I had to dodge around for minutes for her to finally grab me.
>>733625980>It can’t be that meaningfulit literally fucking is, hugely so. It "seemed" not meaningful because you keep getting small bonus over many different mechanics (each piece of armor, soul core, guardian spirits etc)Try getting hit by anything in the first zone and you see you take like double digit damage, compared to the beginning of the game where the first Gozuki can do 1k5 and one shot youThe way they balanced it this way is so you don't care too much about any particular part of your build, as in you can equip a level 10 helmet while the rest at level 100 so that you don't get punished for not caring about the diablo loot system. But in the big picture the math is absolutely there, it's just very unnatural to have a low defense across every part of your build so you never notice it.
>>733626109greatsword from rise of the ronin was quite different from odachi. i would really like to see them add naginata or bayonet too. a dual wield 1kat revolver weapon would be pretty awesome too.
>>733626514That wheel curbstomp at the end is looney tunes as fuck
>>733626514Enemies in general feel a lot less aggressive. I don't mind this for archers because they were always turboniggers but you can be in someone's face and their buddy will just sit back and watch.
>They brought back Kasha, Joro-gumo, and Hino-Enma back as brothel sluts.>Meanwhile my yokai wife remains undespoiled.Sucks that she wasn't brought back though.

>>733626369>big overhead charge smashaxe lumberchop or ochachi thunder bolt is literally that tho>naginata it's clear since nioh 2 that they "intended" for the switchglaive to be the naginata of the series, it's kinda dumb looking since the blade section is fuckhuge compared to when equipped by NPCs like Himiko's glaive or Princess Noh's. But the mid attack is basically slashing naginata already. I personally hate how our glaive looks.I'm not opposed to your ideas in any way, just saying they kinda pidgeon holed themself into this way, they have to get real creative to make new gimmick weapons now

Are you telling me the katana has the most over the top anime attacks like Swift Step and Severing Spin, but the actual strongest attack is just your character slowly walking then slowly swing the sword?
>>733627143what do you mean chad walking and ignoring any knockback not over the top?
>>733627143Being cool > looking cool
>>733626996lumberchop is a nice golfswing, but i mean something that'll pancake the enemy. thunderbolt is meme territory with how bad it is in 3, comically low damage even if you successfully tradethey are kind of pidgeon holed unless they really break out into some fantasy weapons. the revolver is a popular one but i just dont see us getting it, or if we do i expect it to be extremely underwhelmingwhip > some kind of thrusting sword could be possible > one handed/small sized mace weapon > sai/daggers i could also see something like a chakram, or two smaller chakrams as weapons

>>733629263>lived in worldunderrated, Nioh feels kinda empty
>>733630046Because 90% of nioh 3 is just nioh 1 and 2 being copy and pasted. It's a series that takes minimum effort to develop thats why they will keep making them.
>>733630103don't mind that too much honestly, beats waiting 10 years between each game, will always leave me wanting more though
>Hmmm today I will.... hang out in a thread about a game I am getting filtered by and seethe about it!mad because bad. next.
>>733629843It's ridiculous, something like 20-30% more damage for free. You can run it AND another clan bonus too if you're coming from a clan where you're already a decent rank
>>733626750That's because in mythology, Tate Eboshi is Suzuka. I know that Nioh is fantastical history, but it largely stays true to the source material, so if you're going to have Tate Eboshi back, Suzuka has to come back too.

>>733630432Yes
>>733630218Does it go up with your clan rank like other bonuses? I'm assuming it doesn't
>>733630638Taking STR from 5-99 gives like 5% more ki damage.It’s worthless unless your build has no incentive to level any other stat.

>>733631794Yeah, you should stack strength on non-magic builds because there aren't many too many sources of increased ki damage multipliers and increasing the base amount is significant if you're already working with a 40% bonus.

>>733625016Hmmm... Set has a stamina bonus to attack... Stamina reduces equip load... Big think.mp4.jpeg.tiff.exeIt's probably far from ideal, but I can at least see the build direction that set would want you to go.
>>733632589even at 99 stamina its B agility. im willing to give up that extra damage for A agility when everything already dies so fast anyway. NG+ has yet to be difficult aside from a bloodedge demon which still wasn't too bad.

Just beat the three demon gauntlet with my hatchets and these things continue to be awesome. I loved them in 2 and I still love them in 3.
>>733632668How about 99 Stam with the Warrior skill that boosts maximum equip load by 10%? Does that get you to A Agility? It might make for a midair meme build with 2kat and the Ninja skill that boosts Ninjutsu damage while airborne. I haven't tried doing a flash attack while airborne, but it'd be hilarious if it works and you could use Senju Rush on Talons and then swap to 2kat for Divine Flash w/Ninjutsu cancel shenanigans.
>>733632381There is one I killed in the demo that had 130k+.

>>733632173>>733632809Just make a macro for one of your back buttons bro, no one will ever know.
>>733605341i really really really hate that they sacrificed missions for open world, i have almost no desire to do ng+ because of it. also the enemy variety in ng was abysmal especially considering the roster they had to pick from that said the revamped combat is amazing (even if too easy) and it will be hard to go back to 2. so it's kinda cursed in that way
>>733613420Damn sounds like everyone should remove the elixir buffs thenDoes anyone know how much luck on amrita absorption you get? I tried checking my luck stats with the buff up and it doesnt seem to change my luck at all, i wonder if the luck talisman is just better but its a pain to rebuff before a boss dies
>>733632870it's still B even with it. overall i think A agility is way better than extra damage per hit since you can stay in the air a lot longer with the ki you save. i haven't done any extensive testing but there's a lot of bosses where you can stay in the air forever as long as they are somewhat stationary. flying kato also gives a shitload of ninjitsu charge which helps with loops since casting mid air is required to regain ki. it's a very fun build, i have no idea how useful it actually is but the game has been piss easy with just me button mashing playing mario 64 on every enemy i come across.
>>733633061NG+ and beyond has some changed enemy placements if that helps.>>733610030
>>733633056That's gay and haram
>>733633056I have no idea how to do that on controller
>>733633149Perfect execution, 100% of the time.
>>733633162Take the chink controller pill already
>>733633101Sounds like a pretty fun build. I prefer Talons over 2kat, so I'd probably roll with the extra damage since I wouldn't be as concerned with my airtime. That's assuming I'd even be running Goemon's stuff. I'm not sure what ninja set I'll be shooting for yet.
Wish this game had more girly outfits for my Gracia playthrough.
Ok, axe might be a little TOO braindead for me.Someone sell me on 1kat, spear, or odachi please.
>>733633443Take the fist pill
>>733633103>and beyond there's only a single ng+ cycle
>>733633498Already did actually, that and a ninja playthough too.Just trying to find something else that clicks with me.
>>733632709>cropping her best part
>>7336333542kat has a mystic art that gives you more damage the longer you are in the air. you can combine that with the skill for ninjitsu too that just makes everything hit like a truck. divine flight is also amazing for chasing down enemies and positioning yourself since it typically clips behind enemies to start mashing away for back damage.
>>733605517Me on the right wanting to marry the guy on the left.
>>733610030how is the jailer, skeleton, gaki and dweller spam? i grew so fucking sick of them during ng that i almost don't want to play anymore
>there's a less covered version of Nure-onnaWhat the fuck I finished NG+ and I just noticed
>>733633741Yeah, she got like that in 2 when she was out of ki.
>>733610030That's pretty cool, guess I'll be playing NG+
>>733632516we'll never see such a high number again, way less players and most people don't struggle with him anymore
>>733633802How the fuck haven't I noticed that either
>>733605341I can't beat Hiruko bros ;_;
>>733633912which one?
>tfw Kunimatsu fightI don't like this. This isn't fun.
>>733633443Odachi has not been impressing itself to me in Nioh 3, but 1kat is insanely good. Doubly so in that it sometimes feels braindead when you use Severing Spin and Sword of Meditation. Both are coincidentally crucible skills, but even without those, 1kat has a vast moveset with an answer to just about anything. Spear is also solid but it has nothing that hits anywhere near as hard as SoM does. I don't know if any weapon has a skill that can smack a bitch for upwards 15k damage in a single blow.
Triple threat is just budget Beyond Infinity
>>733634148triple threat is actually doable reliably
>>733634093https://files.catbox.moe/zrnimn.mp4Unfortunately you gotta be really defensive due to his hyper armor. Once you swallow that pill it's not that bad, just takes a while.
>>733634148>use Beyond Infinity>first strikes push the enemy back>has little forward movement so most of it misses
>>733634196So is BI if you're not a mouthbreather
i really dislike how fucking busted ninja mode is. i want to use it for variety's sake but it just trivializes everything, it's honestly badly designed
>>733634093I beat him with kat's severing spin, just push that button and WIN.
>>733634465you can replace "him" with "Nioh 3"
>>733634093Body swap spam with Spear. Bolting boar with Odachi. kick spam combo ninja 1kat. Though, with ninja kat, that's really the only thing it has that works reliably on anything.
>>733634416same, I just can't get back into the samurai flow after nuking everything with calamities
Do they ever do balance patches? Some of the weapons are too one note.
>>733635071They do
>>733635071>asking if team motherfucking ninja, the ones doing some of the best balance patches in the entire genre, are going to release balance patchesHow fucking new are youIn Nioh 2 they completely rebalanced most of the yokai cores and made them generally more useful, in wo long they did a fuckton of quality of life improvements and weapon rebalances/moveset additions.
>>733635197>they rebalanced>the yokai cores
>>733635226There are now more cores worth using besides Ippon and Kasha, and maybe Otakemaru.
>>733635226Yes, gachatard. They rebalanced some cores like 2-3 times too.
>>733635270>>733635263Neither of you beat the game btw
>>733635314Go back to pulling jpgs, trash.
>>733635314
>>733605341>Nioh 3Is it boring like second one was?>run through same map 10 times, killing same 5 creates repeatedly
>dem gauntlets at the brotheloh mama>>733634416Entering Bakumatsu I started to abandon it and now near the end I actually completely forgot to level the equipment up, which is why Yoshinobu keep one shotting me when I'm trying to apply poison kunai. I don't know, ninja just gets boring.
>>733635431If that's all you remember about the second game then it's not for you. You probably need some pretentious game design to stimulate you over your lack of gameplay creativity
>>733635551>retard shitter way to say YESOk retard, keep coping.
>>733635590>already loading up the retard cannonYou lost before it started
I wish Kurama Dance was interruptible. It's such a deathwish.
>>733635645I like to believe a move not being spammable is good design. But I guess people overfixate on what's the strongest in these games
>>733635645It is interruptible, retard-kun. You have your Guardian Spirit skills that act in the same manner as the yokai abilities in Nioh 2. Stuck in an animation you don't want to be in? Just use the GS skill. Out of ki and don't want to be grappled? GS skill. It's the same shit, but stricter because all guardian spirits ONLY GET 2, and you can't change them.
Just finished the game. It was fun and I kinda want to try NG+ with a new build but how fast can I rush things? I finished around lvl 140-150 after exploring basically everything 100%. If I just speedrun the game to focus on the bosses will I be up to level like in most fromsoft games before I need to level again, or will Takeda Shingen fuck my ass the moment I go through his door? I don't want to empty every camp and all all over again...
>>733635695levels don't matter as much as you think
>>733635695NG+ is pure freedom. No more checklists, I managed fine in map one just soul matching the gear I finished NG with a bit
>>733635812how are the new enemy placements?
>>733635802Your level doesn't really matter. The level of your gear tends to matter more. A fight with 160 and 160+15 can be very different.
>>733635812cool, thanks
>>733635851Not that impactful for 90% of them, until you do some of the enhanced crucibles and you get Juro-Gumo and her posse of spiders or the Itsumade gank squad in Bakumatsu.
>>733605517you don't look like the guy on the right
>>733635925Juro-Gumo's posse...
>>733635645>>733635685>>733635689Your design logic is all wrong here, moves need to have strengths AND weaknesses to create a structure where you can make decisions about which is the best choice in the moment. It's a good thing for there to be some moves with longer commitment which are higher risk and can't be used in all openings. The problem with Kurama Sword Dance is that it is NEVER worth pressing because even when you have a suitable opening to use it the move deals less damage and less Ki damage than kickslashCompleting a full Kurama Sword Dance safely should hit like a truck
>>733635925that sucks, i genuinely don't understand what they were thinking with the enemy choices
>>733636085importing everything to the new engine mang, personally I'd rather they just import the ENTIRE series enemies then designing a single NEW one in a massive asset flip nightlein lite that encourages co-op in ETERNAL JIGOKU over fields
>>733622709https://old.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/1r1miix/advanced_tips_and_guide_on_samurai_stances_and/
>>733633094That anon is wrong.If you have multiple buffs that do not stack then the strongest one always takes priority. When it expires it moves to the strongest one that is still active. You are never hurting your damage by taking those effects, but depending on build it may be pointless. But it’s never gonna downgrade you.
>>733636085You get some earlier encounters like Enenra and Itsumade in a powered up crucible in the first map. Or Magatsu Warrior and skeletons in the port where only humans used to be. It's something, NG+ in 3 is like DotD lite.
Why the fuck do they overuse Gaki so goddamn much in this game? They've never been fun or worth fighting, yet there's billions of them everywhere while Yoki's basically extinct. And out of the handful of new youkai, we get a fucking Gaki in a hat.
>>733636303The fucking Gaki in a hat is a good addition desu
>>733636212i'm a ninja player because they ruined spear in nioh 3.
>>733636303Club gaki is funny
>>733636303TN saw that in recent times gakis were trending but not the kind of gaki they're thinking of
>>733636303In the first game Yokai were supposed to be big and scary and you start out mainly fighting humans. Yoki were initially placed as a kind of mini-boss. Except Yoki as a mini-boss no longer works because the player character has been buffed and buffed and buffed and Yoki are now mechanically incapable of posing any challenge whatsoever, but their model is still big and imposing so there's a complete disconnect between their design and their function in the game. Jailers and Gaki were designed as more appropriate looking fodder for a game where there are hundreds of yokai and you mash them all down like you're playing a musou, which is what Nioh 3 is
>>733636450well, that an hiddy was pretty good at clearing out yokai before wirriam arrived
Karasu Tengu, what the hell did they do to you?I was terrified of it in the previous games, it's a trivial joke in 3. Does NG+ improve things much?
>>733636303They also screwed up importing them- Gaki's weak spot is meant to be its big Amrita gut, but in 3 it's just the head.
>>733636729Karasu Tengu already suffered back in 2, he's unfortunately been burst fodder ever since. Many enemies could actually put up a much better fight if some of their more threatening moves couldn't be this easily stopped in their tracks. If Karasu could spin on demand maybe he would manage better against ninjas jumping all over him
>>733636303If you haven't played Nioh 1, go and do it as Gaki doesn't exist in that game.
>>733636729he hasn't been scary since 1but 3 seriously has NO scary enemies in my opinion, the player has just gotten too powerful
>>733636939Bloodgedge should be their blueprint for scary
>>733636965that's a boss, i was talking about regular enemies
>>733636874Red attacks are totally a player buff, like everything else. I remember Nioh1 Tengu as being uninterruptable tanks that would threaten to 2 shot you, now they do fuck all damage and stun themselves
What yang summons are actually GOOD? Closing in to end game now and I feel like 99% of them are trash
>>733636976My point stands. He should be baseline for elite enemies with the tools player has
>>733637027yeah i agree, only difficult non-boss encounters in this game are gank fights which can be cheesed with ninja mode anyways
>>733636979I genuinely wish they would actually remove red burst properties from some attacks in higher NG+. The burst attacks, when they go through, are often the more interesting ones to deal with.
>>733635858+15 is cheater territoryyou're meant to enter ng+ with +0 and finish at like +5, if you grind hardcore maybe get to +8 or +9
>>733637106>I genuinely wish they would actually remove red burst properties from some attacks in higher NG+They typically do.
>>733636450The only time yoki were big and scary was when you, in your not even fully equipped William, faced the single one by the building and got one shot by the overhead. Their move sets were more lethargic in 1 than both 2 or 3. They gained combo attacks, variable combos, faster attack timings, more cancel windows.Secondly the enemy placement wasn't a result of trying to gas up Yoki. Fucking the Source of Evil uses 4 Yokai. Axe skeleton are spawned and placed alone. You kill these enemies in literal seconds at this fucking point. The hardest part of that mission isn't the Yoki, Umi-Buzo's are spawned and faced alone, the most dangerous part of that entire mission isn't the Onryoki, the skeletons, the bozu, the yoki, nor the Onryoki. It's the revenants. I read shit on here and it's always so very fucking clear that the people involved don't replay these games.
>>733636965Nozuchi, mainly because it's a tube with no discernible features besides its mouth and I can't tell what the hell it is doing until it hits me.
>>733637190Yeah they do, but they also switch them around. Some enemies in 2 actually were made easier for it inadvertently
>>733605517jjk is trash btw
>>733637023Gozuki is my go to, it hits hard enough and has decent range
>>733636054The problem with Kurama sword dance isn't that it's just a long animation (that you can be kicked out of if you don't have enough toughness) is that it requires a long animation AND doesn't deal enough damage to warrant using it. There are better skills available to both samurai and ninja 1kat that I've never once said to myself "I should kurama with this opening I've created". That there are animation canceling abilities isn't a weakness in design, it's a way to further customize the players tools for dealing with enemies and situations. The issue is that some of the tools given are invalidated by better tools in the tool box.
>>733637106The player being able to cancel anything they're doing to interrupt them also means you can go HAM on enemies before a red attack comes out and if the enemy happens to do their "most dangerous" attack when you greedily commit to a long animation then not only do you not die, but you get your greedy damage followed by a massive free chunk of Ki damage plus ANOTHER big damage opening immediately after. Then due to Ki mechanics if you get the opportunity to shit out a load of damage all at once like this then you are probably further rewarded by getting a Ki break which gives you ANOTHER big damage opening, probably followed by a cutscene Mortal Kombat fatality. So the risk/reward for just wailing on stuff is completely different to the balance of Nioh 1.This is the same design being used by lots of modern soulslikes and people keep praising how this "rewards aggression" which is a politically correct way of saying you get to brainlessly smash buttons into enemies and they fall over instead of killing you
>>733637023ibaraki and green fatty for their respective element+nukessukuna, skeletons and magatsu warrior are still as good as they were in 2apparently hiruko is good but I find it whiffs half the attacks it shits out
>>733637198>They gained combo attacks, variable combos, faster attack timings, more cancel windows.Doesn't matter with these animations because they have no reach and loads of recovery while the player can now sprint backwards at mach5 double jumping and dropping nukes from the air
>>733637367What I notice is that most yokai enemies simply do not survive the very first burst counter or horn break you perform on them. The damage preceeding, dealt by, and following a grapple is just too damn enormous
>>733637408>green fattywhat?
>>733637450demon of obsession, big fat fuck
what are your honest thoughts on missions vs open field?
>>733636303Gaki are great, they are overused but the game could've used more unique yokai like them. Instead it's jailer oni, big jailer oni, and occasionally a skeleton on a horse or cold ubume. There's no way they already ran out of interesting folklore that the only thing they could put in was a worm that just rolls around and sucks you up.
>>733637450Demon of Comfort Eating When You Can't Be Shogun
>>733637464>>733637563oh shit i thought he meant the worm things lol
Can you do a rifle build in nioh 3?In 2 there just weren't enough bonuses to make it work
>>733637552Open field in nioh 3 is among the best open world designs i've seen, unlike its peers it constantly rewards you for exploration which makes it very fun to traverse.There are still fuck huge side missions, too.The only issue i have with them is that in previous niohs missions took place in radically different settings and time periods. Here they typically have to adhere to a particular "theme" of the era. But i also think Nioh 3 has some of the best individual level design they ever did. Finale alone was fucking mindblowingly good.
demon of envy/pride yang summonspure power
Usually I just block red attacks because they tend to have obtuse timings :)
>>733637696gotta love the ones where they wind up for a million years and then hit you with a one frame slappity bonk. of all the things team ninja copied from elden ring, that should not have been one of them
>>733637696I just yolo into them with any of the quick lower cost guardian skill even if it makes me take damage
>>733637556I fucking hate the suckworm. They're so bad.
>>733637742The long wind up burst attacks are fodder for a GS skill burst counter. Even slow as balls ones like Ohs wing slice attack will come out faster than some of the burst attacks enemies do.
>fuck all Guardian Spirits compared to 1 and 2>considering the roster, there's fuck all characters, especially when every female character is actually HimikoWhy even give me a quest to find tea set shit for Matsunaga if you're not going to give me Itokuri for it?Also whose brilliant idea was it that you can't use Switchglaive and Sohaya armour at the same time? Did nobody question that?
>>733636874what's the fit? looks good.
>>733637442Getting a grapple also gets you more free damage as they're standing back up. Same problem in every soulslike, the rewards are too high for this stuff and it devalues safe attacks in open play. I LIKE horn breaks because locational damage is cool and targetting weakspots specifically is a fun mechanic, but it is now very easy to break horns by accident if you just run up and start shitting out damage.If I had my way Ki breaks and other interrupts would be something you had to specifically aim for, not something that happens incidentally while you're killing shit. The best attacks for dealing damage should not be good at breaking Ki and visaversa, horn breaks should be unlikely unless you are deliberately timing and placing your attacks to make them happen.
>>733637432> have no reach and loads of recovery Oh yeah like Yoki were bastions of fucking aggression and range before when they were factually slower, and shittier.The only reason the axe yoki could land anything at all is because of the dark souls 2 shockwave on his slam that takes literally over 4 seconds to to fully resolve>stone throwing buildMan I used to be so cool.
>>733637552The open field sucks and I hope the DLCs are tighter and more refined. I'm not opposed to the idea but everything looks too similar and the areas are too sparse and open for their own good. There's not really any verticality or platforming either. Even the "proper dungeons" are way less interesting than the levels in earlier games. 1 has a lot of stinkers but the ocean temple alone blows pretty much every part of this game out of the water.
>>733638206>>733638206>>733638206>>733638206
>>733637943Authority chest, heirloom gauntlets and greaves, vassal's waistguard.
>>733638420cool thanks
>>733638561I've got better fits for the chest, it's just that this one fits the lightning build better
>>733637552Missions were far better. The open field adds very little imo.
>>733637552I like missions but the overall level design in Nioh 3 is far better than the previous two games. The levels are large but dense, they never waste your time and have a lot more verticality, and they did the most important thing to make an open world good which is to actually put useful things to find everywhere that makes you feel rewarded for exploring. The average open world game gives you a fucking Arteria Leaf or glovewort for clearing a dungeon, meanwhile in Nioh 3 you get unique martial arts, skill points, and permanent stat boosts.
