>used ninja styleu didn't beat the game>used samurai styleu didn't beat the game
My favorite boss in the game. Not the hardest fight, but the way his body is covered with amrita crystals that glow at different times during different attacks means that you have plenty of ways to control him and interrupt him during his strings by using positioning.
>activate living weapon>get caught in a grab>living weapon ends in the animation>diefeels real bad man
Remember what you're fighting for!
Open world is a mistake.
>>557594904it's not even really open world, just the menu select screen but you have to walk between missions instead of choosing from the list

>>557596094but no one is ever responsible for anything it's always amrita/demons fucking up dey head
Ew, what is this timing of Flash Attack in Nioh 3? You have to press R1 + down WAY before it's the normal Ki Pulse time.
Baba O'Riley is a tough boss in NG+ too damn
Deflect is so fucking amazingIs there a weapon that benefits the most or leans the most into the new deflect?
>>557596982I was wondering that too. 1kat has the mystic art that makes it easier, but 2kat has the post-deflect attack. But deflect basically gives you a plus frames situation, so you can start charging a powerful skill in response to blocking a bosses attack, that's way better than a 400 damage 2kat slice.
Maybe I'm retarded but the samurai weapons other than the odachi aren't clicking for me, I "feel" 0 flow with them.
>>557596982Probably 1 katdeflect on the mid stance ki-pulse attackDeflect on severing spinMore generous deflect window
I guess it's because he's 60 levels higher than me but I guess I kind've expected every boss in NG+ to get dunked on at least until bakumatsu+
I really wish the exalted armour didn’t have pants
Have any of you checked your bestiary to see if Itsumade is there? I’ve killed 10+ and I’ve triple checked my bestiary and he’s not there. Is this a known bug or something?

What resets in NG+?Do you need to collect kodama, jizo, and chijiko again to get additional bonuses?I'm hoping I can just go through the story missions again without losing bonuses from collecting.
>>557596094Sabers weren't really a thing yet then. At least not the ones we think about from the 1700s forward.
I'm stuck on shingen takeda. any good way to farm ochoko cups?
what the fuck do i actually do with the red sparkles that fly off in a random direction when i beat a revenant, i've gone looking a bunch and never found anything.
>>557600503Kill reds, put down a blue and whore yourself out for glory. If you can join someone else who's at the same spot or further back than you are and co-op that shit.
I need a Gain Amrita (Strong Attack) accessory on my Samurai. Is there an easy way to farm accessories (NG)?
>>557599809I've never used any of these except extraction talisman
>>557599809>doesn't mention clan todointeresting admission by silence
>>557601765Yes i forgot to mention the health on amrita clan aaaand i have the ki recovery speed clan tooReally i should also change to the melee ki damage one but i mean I beat ng+ anyway, so...Maybe I will play again tonight and minmax my build, but desu i was thinking of restarting nioh. I need my multiple ng cycles and ethereal slop.
Did people actually do the yoshinobu fight without doing the sword mission that lets you kill the sickly faggot so it doesn't turn into a 2 phase boss battle?That must have been a huge pain in the ass lmao
>You beat the gameYou beat the game
>>557602512I guess I did
>>557602512Wait, that's a thing?
>>557602608>>557602694I did it by accident in ng, then in ng+ when rushing through I encountered him before yoshinobu and thought "wait, wtf, this wasn't in ng".Yeah if you do the solitary blade side mission, you get a temple key, which lets you go and fight okita soji by himself, and when beating him he doesn't appear before yoshinobu. Makes it way easier.
>>557602961Oh, solitary blade comes after you get the temple key... I can't remember the name of the quest before it, i think its something like a legendary blade or something?
>>557581124i meant the booru tag
>>557602961>>557602512I love shit like this
I hate ledges so much in these games it's unreal>If there is a ledge with a deadly drop nearby, the enemy will always move there and refuse to move even if otherwise they would be the most aggressive unga bunga monsters ever>Any hits you make near a ledge will push the enemy towards it from almost all directions>Player character will randomly do a sprint turn instead of a normal standing still turn while turning around near a ledge>Ledges in Bakumatsu where you will slide off while standing still
>>557594904>>557595779I really miss the mission select music that changed with new areas...
>>557604662Water and gravity are more dangerous than yokai.
Oh wow there was an actual quest where you had to go to another era to solve a thing on another. More of those please.
>>557600503>I'm stuck on shingen takedaTook me a bit to beat this cunt. He hyper armors through everything and has fucking shockwaves. My advice is use a fast stance/weapon.
>>557604662you may not like them but instant death ledges are an essential part of souls level design
>>557605394this game really isn't very time travelly. CV2 is way more so
>>557605652Dual swords worked best for me with him, specifically low stance, attacks just come out so fast. Took my time deflecting/blocking then punished small openings. Took ages but got there in the end.A lot of bosses in ng are only challenging because at the time you fight them you don't have access to a lot of skills and have no real build setup
>have over 48 hours played and still in the first areadidn't realize I was so slow...
this was way harder in ng+
>>557600503literally just deflect his asshe does double hit into small delay into double hit from the other arms
Kurama is actually the last place I visited in Japan. Certainly different from Nioh 3.
Yasakanis... yasakanis everywhere
>>557602512i did on ng+ and it was fucking miserablewont be making that mistake on ng++ and ng+++
>>557606521I haven't gotten one. Sad!
what does the "item drop rates have increased" message you get after killing wraiths in ng+ mean? just more luck?
>>557606379The main difficulty spike I found in NG+ was the fucking death veil gauntletMy build relied on onmyo magic and because you can't restock between crucibles i kept dying.Also FUCK the ice crucible. Holy SHIT what an aeful experience.>slowed movement and ki recovery>the fucking ubume that spawns which can fucking send you into NEGATIVE KI ehich takes ages to regen because you're constantly iced up>then if you get hit by the slowing effect of the ice yokai woman that spawns alongside ubume its basically fucking game over because your speed is literally like fucking 1/5th of normal, or even lower>this bitch spawns again but with an ice oni and a fucking paralysing umbrella>then the boss spawns with a load of adsLiterally the most difficult segment of the game for me by far, aside from individual bosses.
>>557606687doesn't luck only affect the quality?
>>557606341how
>>557606887correct
>>557606687>>557606887Killing crucible wraiths allows any of that yokai core in the future to drop as rare, and the more wraiths of them you kill the higher the chance to drop as rare becomes.That's all that means, i believe.
>>557606948fighting every enemy at least once while collecting everything probably
>>557606670My holy grail right now is an accessory with +1 shadowstitch or enhanced shrapnel bomb. Hopefully we get twilight missions soon because I can feel my brain rotting farming the last mission for the 100th time. Reminds me Nioh 1 all over again...
>>557607056i did that and i was done in 20
How do crucible wraiths work, anyway? Is it random? Sometimes they seem to pop up on the map overview randomly, and some wraiths just don't seem to appear. Like I haven't found a single wraith for the fire or water oni-bi but had one for the wind one and found multiple for the lightning one
>>557607278afaik they have set spawnsi doubt you found 2 of the same one
>>557607943unless they get rando'd in ng+ in which case idk
>>557607943>>557607979Yeah sorry this is in ng+Maybe i just need to explore more. The icons carrying over what you completed in a previous ng is so fucking annoying and makes it difficult to filter things. Also crucibles constantly reforming due to negative ki.
Before starting ng+ what do you guys recc i finish? Should i do all title collections?
>>557602521Thank you William.
wait, you can select multiple clans? i was wondering what the menu/selection was for
>>557606462im not a adhd zoomer. I can't
>>557608330You can mix and match blessings from all the clans in the blessing menu at a shrine, regardless of whether or not you're still with the clan. Its pretty based. They also keep the bonuses from whatever rank you were before defecting.>>557608301You can freely switch between the ng and ng+ map so its not that important desu
>>557600732They literally leave an arrow pointing in the direction of the bloodedge demon on your map.
>>557608330the tutorial tells you that you get to keep the highest rank of each clan you got beforehand. though it's a tad unclear
>>557606521Give me the ID of the Samurai Yasakani. I've got a billion ninja ones and I'm two seconds away from fucking quitting.
i switched to control style b by accident (i was cleaning my controller i spilled hot chocolate on) and somehow immediately gaslit myself into thinking -- okay maybe this martial art was always block + attacki thought i was (or maybe am) losing my ufcking mind
This game was ok, 50 hour to all achievments. Not gonna do ng+, hell not sure if i bother with dlc, ill see in a year, if i do ill just quickly beat it in ng. An unmemorable game. Glad i got it for 50 instead of 80.
>ESL>focus on achievements>didn't actually play the game
>>557609129it is what it is
it's crazy how unless it's explicitly spelled out or some streamer shows them, some people are too dumb to understand the essence of the game
>>557606879why u getting hit tho
>>557609129I left sunking cost fallacy a long time ago. I did nioh1 and 2, all of it. I move on from 3, do not feel fulfilled at all.
>>557609214What, to you, is the essence of the game?
>>557609262unless you can articulate why im going to assume your dopamine receptors are fried from whatever gacha you play and its a full (you) problem
>>557609262you need to go back to the learing center
mmm, hot chocolate
>>557609285combat/mastery w/ a strong roleplaying element. a loot aspect that can be used to tailor your experience and/or slowly evolve from struggling to comfythe game gives you all these options not so you can find the best and easiest way to win (you solved it, congrats), but to let you play your character and figure out your own challenges
Deflection expert is the "easy-mode" of this game, and I love it.
>>557610875the sfx and vfx for deflect are big dopamine hit
>>557608414https://litter.catbox.moe/htzgd4s6o546l5li.webmhe definitely killed me a few times until i learned his moves>don't attack into his counter fan, but even if you do, you can dodge the followup>if you stay point blank he will spam his grab, wait it out then counter>his fire moves all hit frontally so get behind himquite shrimple really
>>557610875based. you dont even consider ninja as playing the game
>>557596930pretty good theme song though
>>557603081>i think its something like a legendary blade or something?Peerless Katana
just finished the tutorial, I really enjoy the animations that let you know character motivations.
I feel like we didn't get many guardian spirits this time
>>557611640ninja? never heard of him.
>>557612610>I feel like we didn't get many guardian spirits this timeGuhin and Tengu are all you need desu.
>>557609970>strong roleplaying elementi get zero roleplay satisfaction from this game.unless you're saying character building is roleplay.
>>557611635>webmshould I be worried that I can't tell whether this is ironic or not
No ng++, huh?
>>557610875i am a clang sound enjoyer
Me and demon of pride were both at one hp so I just ran away and threw a shuriken at him before he could kill me with some bullshit since I had no heals. It's just that easy.
>>557612731yea-- we're talking ARPG, not ye olde roleplaying. the character building (visually and otherwise), and trying to work out a playstyle. a build, etc.basically if you aren't just following the path of least resistance (whatever's strongest), you are roleplaying. more or lessyour goals are open ended too. you can quit before ng+ and still get all the achievements, as esl anon mentioned
Do defense bonuses stack?Like what if I put defense bonus (heart) on my torso armor, but put defense bonus (intellect) on my arm guards?
>>557612747i was showcasing how absolutely dogshit you can play and still win
>>557613121you should say buildcrafting. roleplaying is used differently. but i got what you meant from context anyway
>>557612823they always dripfeed them in. it's the psudeo live service staggered release tactic that has become rather popular recently. capcom does it like every fuckin time
>>557606879the crucible would have been based if you had to actually do it all back to back without dying which i thought was the case as i died on the last one and was about to lose my shit
>>557613123check your status screen...in general all unique bonuses stack. buffs and debuffs of the same type generally do not e.g. power pill and carnage
>>557613023DoP is the worst boss in the entire series. He floats around and has no weapon so you're supposed to dodge his feathers as if they're a weapon... He also keeps backing up and is generally hard to hit because he's literally floating.>>557613121NIOH is all about the rule of cool. Play with what you like and have fun. A game with so much fun and game-breaking tech is anathema to stream-watchers that just want to look up "best Nioh build" and say "look I did it."It's only about impressing yourself and doing what makes you happy.
>>557613121we have very different views of what consists rpg then, in particular, this kind of meta objective (about ng+ and achievements) is completely out of scope to what I would say is or is not an rpg.but anyway that's just semantics, i know what you mean.
>>557602521Arigato gaijin man
>>557607278the game mentions that there are enemies which dont have crucible wraiths and you get the rare shit the moment you kill that enemy for the first time
>>557613374Honestly didn't think he was that bad, I liked his fight maybe my favorite in the game so far.
>>557613870For me, it's the yokai incense battle scroll. Absolutely peak.
>>557613758I assumed that referred to boss soul cores thoughbeit.
>>557606137I gotta play that one after I take a break from this game.
>>557614476it's very easy in general, i found it extremely relaxing to play. i also highly recommend not doing any time-shifts until you've gotten the bad and medium endings, it will make the feeling of fixing all the horrible things with time travel feel better
>>557614202When do you get that?
>>557614202this one was wild because i burnt my resources early not knowing it was a boss rush. i clutched the rest though
How does the Equilibrium skill work? "Changes reference stats" to be the other style doesn't make sense to me.
>>557615192weapon scaling stats
too many of the guardian spirit abilities for samurai are dogshit
>>557615251Yes but I don't understand how it changes one to the others. If I'm a stammaxing odachi glue eating hammertard, does this mean that my Ninja's 2kat in the first slot takes on the scaling of the odachi my Samurai has in the first slot, and my Ninja's claws in slot 2 take on the stats of the hammer my Samurai has in the second slot?
>>557615367very trueno idea what they were thinking, especially the 60 cost ones
>>557615412read the description carefully. i believe there's one for each of the 2 skill categories that changes that style to the other style's.
>>557615367I'm really annoyed with how many are just reskins of each other
>>557615367The chargeable claw uppercut and rapid slash is all I need.
>>557615317>>557615392>>557615575>>557615635Very nice. Keep them coming.
>>557615367>>557615510They should've let you swap guardian spirit abilities, like clan bonuses. Also it sucks that the triangle input ability is always just a summon.I get you're not a yokai anymore, but guardian spirit abilities just feel like extremely neutered soul core abilities from nioh 2. It's nice you can burst with them now I guess, cause the actual burst parry feels like it's 1 frame. And at least Guhin just happens to be a good spirit with a faster version of the magatsu warrior soul core ability, which was one of my favorites from 2.
I will not fall into the blackhole that is RNG farming and gear optimization until the DLCs come out. Doing it right now, knowing full well that there will be at least two extra difficulty cycles coming with the two DLCs, is a fool's errand. I'll just slowly finish Shogun's Journey over the next month (I've been literally no-lifing the game since it came out and have used every single bit of free time I've had to beat the Heir's Journey cycle), maybe do a slow and steady LV1 run of all the bosses on NG+, and then shelve the game until the DLCs come out.That said, good luck to any of you who are planning on doing that or are already in the process of doing that. You're gonna need it.
>>557616348>shelve the game until the DLCs come out.literally me
I haven't dug deep into 2 for a while.Weren't there three slots for soul core abilities, and you could have two swappable guardian spirits for access to six slots?
The second form of Hiruko is so fucking ugly and unreadable. He's just a big fucking blob.
>Going through final zone in Bakumatsu>Collection achievements slowly start popping one by oneI know I still have a the whole of ng+ left, but I'm really starting to get that bittersweet feeling of finishing a great game.
>>557616489yes
I just have one question; why the fuck did they reuse Imagawa's elephant sound effects on the fucking bird yokai?
>>557616348i tried for a bit, but the scaling/drops were fucky and everything seemed slow... and i wasnt going to just farm soldier mobs in a hallway. so, same. im going to set it aside for now
Is it true nioh 3 lies to you by making the first area open world but the rest are all linear ?
>>557618721No.
I have no idea how to get the other combo enders. I'm playing caestus and i've had the multiple punch one all the time. I've also had another one in high stance multiple times but I have no idea how i'm doing it.
>>557618783Then why did the fellas on gigaboots podcast say that was the case with such confidence ??? Fuck that podcast, man
Is it just me or do some bosses ignore guard.
>>557619423who the fuck is that?
>>557619842you're getting deadangled, everyone's hitboxes are extremely generous in this nioh games so it happens a lot. back up and it'll stop
>>557619423it is a bit like that, yea. it doesnt feel as wide open in the proceeding main areas, and there are shorter segments that are not open
so how exactly you get to keep different clan buffs and switch between them?
>>557619910ah gotcha. I assumed guard was a 360 hitbox.
>>557615635>>557615575>>557615392>>557615317Can't believe people like this generic red/purple + Doodmagiccrystals slop
>>557618721The first area in the demo is open in the sense that a big empty field is openThe rest of the full game is open in the sense that Dark Souls 1's world is open, except it's all on a flat plane instead of vertical so more like DS2
>>557618898
Definitely hitting a stat wall with Tokugawa Kunimatsu. I'm barely pecking him with 1k damage per hit.
>>557618898tutorials are tough
>>557613374>Worst boss in the entire seriesI sentence you to the amrita mines and tell me he's worse than Giant Guardipede, or you can take a trip to Hideyoshi's Freaky House of Holes He Stuck His Dick In and tell me Ms.Off Screen Projectile Spam isn't a more annoying experience. Yes the bouncy projectile is a bit dumb as is how long the ball-guardians on phase change last but I find them manageable, former can be dodge spammed and the latter has an attack that sends them forward + opportunity to projectile spam yourself with the damage done previously.
>use online fix>literally not a single living soul onlineI mean, I don't even summon people so whatever
>>557613374Skill issue. I fought him last night and he was really fun. His moveset is fairly basic and it ONLY gets tricky when he enters his phase 3 where he gets the water balls that will now follow his attacks. The rest of his moveset is pretty easy to dodge through and his tracking isn't amazing.
so is samurai/ninja equilibrium just the same thing if you were to remodel your weapons?
You're damn near forced to make an OP build when bosses just slap your ki down to 0 with one block.
>Level 115>Become visitor randomly>It's the first boss of the game you can summon forOh, okay.
>>557622191Let me guess, you're playing ninja, the super mobile style with an emphasis on perfect dodging.
>>557615412 (me)It does work like that. Great skill, I can use whatever weapons i want now.
>>557622337Nah, im probably playing a scuffed samurai. Focusing on deflect because it's fun.
>>557622191You don't take ki damage if you deflect, also dependent on your toughness (how heavy your armor is functionally), Nobuhara takes 2 attacks to ki-break me on medium armor.Also posting breakthroughs in cased others missed it last night/thread.>Cognito Hazard; Nioh 1 Living Weapons levels of brokenLilac set extends all debuffs you can apply and there's no diminishing returns to how long you can make them all last.

You don't need to use the switchglaive if you want a different weapon for your carnage + with Yasakani you can stack it with any 6 pc grace you want. With it being heavy armor you can uungest-bungest with Life Leach talisman as they'd be too slow to outpace your healing.>Inari GraceElemental Weapon DMG is to all damage dealt when you have a weapon talisman/Tengen Kujuku used (sadly too slow to burst counter), including Ninjitsu and Onmyo Magic.>Increased DMG (Amrita Absorption)According to 1st Captian and Shuri-no-Sake it might be 10% all around, easy to maintain with amrita on strong attack on helms but probably best to test if you have a different source for the effect.Do plan to test Moonprayer when I get a full set just to see if the Last Stand Talisman that lowers your max HP sets you in critical for the 18% boost, maybe also look into what the damage numbers are for Versatility exactly.
I really feel that the faster Onmyo casting is just strictly better than the cast Onmyo on the move Mastery.
Is there any reason to use Iai on 1kat anymore? Like severing spin is just better.
>coop>host runs around like a headless chicken and diesEvery time
>>557623570I'm glad the tradition continues
>>557622980Because you can spam it more easily.
>>557622980Is it still the optimal zero ki combo?
If I'm spamming coop for extra amrita/glory because it's more interesting than just wandering around ng+ is it better for me to do expeditions or just become a visitor.
>>557624145What's optimal about it. Like I said severing spin just does more damage and fits perfectly into that period where the yokai stands still to refresh their ki. Also maybe i'm crazy but it doesn't feel like you can quick sheathe anymore? using the old tricks (walk forward, aim weapon, switch weapons) doesn't seem to sheathe faster than just doing it raw
I played Nioh 2 for 800 something hours. I forgot how you get spells again? Rejuvenation all that good stuff?
>>557624927I think I remember back in 2 that you could fit two or 3 ia in before the ki came back
Spearbros, please observe
>>5576251643's spells are different. There's some on the left side of the Ninja skill tree, others like Sloth, Barrier, Familiars, Steel are attached to specific types of yokai soul cores that you can slot in a few of at a time.
>>557625554I'm too retarded for this.
i just spent 2 hours putting more time into ninja 1kat and this shit is so fucking broken
>xbox controller i bought 4 months ago and never use without clean hands, suddenly RB only works half the timeholy fucking shit, how is it this hard to make a decent controller in 2026? My friends and i would eat doritos and play smash bros until 4 am every fucking day for years and the gamecube controllers never had any problems whatsoever. I got a Dualsense and within a year it was experiencing unbearable drift. So I think fuck it, Xbox controllers are the most popular nowadays so i'll try that. And here I am 4 fucking months later and the thing shits out already? What the fuck is this stupid chink bullshit. Fucking nuke that whole god damn continent.nearly 1-shot kunimatsu even with that issue, no idea why anybody said he's worse than Hiruko. Not even remotely close (Hiruko is the worst boss Team Ninja has ever shit out).
>>557620226i would prefer less/no gay magic crystals but it's still nice looking.
>>557622191>blocking without deflect or mid ki pulse skill or a whole blocking builddo not
>>557625554>CharacterI wonder why they covered her face in Nioh 3. Did they use an actress for Senji Toyo.
also thank you to the person who reminded me i should save a shadow stitch +1 accessory
>>557625554I need to put more time into spears
>use axe with heal on amrita absorption>kintaro set>kato and toyotomi buff>heavy atk > titanic strength water > victory rush spam>use guhin’s skill when run out of ki>can tank any boss attack and stunlock themLmao this shit is so OP. Just finished NG with this build. This is the real easy mode. Will this build eventually fall off in NG+?
>>557626023Yep my dualsense is sitting there unused because of drift.I went the chink way because they have hall effects and they never drift but yeah buttons still breaks. I'll have to open up my vader 4 and fix LB.. Right now I just guard using LT.
>>557627640>kato and toyotomi buffHow?
>>557627719>>557626002somehow this was a software issue and my controller is actually fine. Team Ninja really has some shitty coders. I restarted the game and it's back to normal. Also yeah kunimatsu might be worse than hiruko just by virtue of the unpredictable hyper armor. They completely shit the bed from Kusanagi on. Not sure i'll bother finishing if the rest of the final region is this bad.
>>557625554Yeah it looks cool, but it's still not as combo happy as the others. Spear is sadly, C tier.
>>557616526open your eyes
>>557627865>get toyotomi to group leader or something>transfer to KatoYou can mix & match buffs in the blessings menu as long as you get high enough clan position in one of the clans
>>557625554>same combo as before
>>557628127well fuck thanks
>>557628124He's totally right. The boss intentionally shits out a bunch of AoE clouds and stuff to block your view, but not in a cool and readable way like Baba Nobuharu, more like a shitty fromsoft boss. Hiruko is total trash, probably the worst boss Team Ninja has ever designed.
>>557594342Some say the Scampusses once formed a tower to the heavens and were punished for their hubris by each meowing in a different tongue.
>>557599372UNTIL WHEN?
>>557628346yeah that boss is pretty ass
>>557625554i cant tell what youre demoing; pulsing with rainbow ruse after heavy stance attacks?here's my trick... vs. staggerable humanoids (you probably need the extended ranged mystic art)>easy versionmedium stancewalk backwardsif the enemy is walking towards you and just out of range, press heavy attackthey get hit every timerepeat until killed>bonuspoison them in ninja, then switch back>advanced (actually apply pressure, faster kills)medium stance:heavy (optional: heavy again, and maybe heavy again), let the combo drop while walking towards them then ki flourish to hit flinch whatever their response would have beenthey cant really deal with it, your attacks come out too fast and the flourish is bully shitif it sounds simple/retarded, it is
>>557618721Area 1, 2 and 4 are open field.Area 3 is just a somewhat bigger classic Nioh mission. It's about the size of the first mission in DLC3 in Nioh 2 (the one where you fight Otakemaru with pants as the first boss and Tate Eboshi as the final boss of that area).Area 5 is basically the final level of the game, and is smaller than area 3. In terms of size, between the three open field areas, it goes from Area 4 (a bit too big in my opinion for how ugly the place looks) > Area 1 > Area 2. But they're still all fairly big.
>>557628670hehe. i need to give that ninjitsu more time. at a glance: lightning >> fire >>> wind > ice
>>557626572The actress NPCs always have a kind of uncanny look to them, so I doubt itThen you have Hiruko and Himiko looking nothing alike, like one looks Jomon and the other Yayoi
>>557628346hiruko final form is kino and you guys are blind
>>557620737NinjaLight attack onceMistRepeat
if (you) havent fucked w/ it much, the poison mist ninjitsu is more than enough to keep the bosses poisoned up (maybe with that 1 expensive 8pt ninja skill)dont waste your time with poison shuriken imo, or the ground one
>>557628885Ice has the highest dps of the 4 calamity ninjutsu. It does stupid damage if you use it while behind an enemy for the backstab bonus, and even if you don't, it will also build up a ton of affliction if you land all the shards.
>>557618721Honestly, the Heian map is kinda linearBakumatsu is a bit more interesting but still visually a hellscape, I want something nice and idyllic looking for the DFC but I won't get my hopes up. Maybe something autumny, but I don't think that lines up with the known DLC events
>>557628972It truly has nothing to do with eyesight, retard. The fight is intentionally designed this way, and it's a bad design choice. The big AoE clouds block the model of the boss, they did this on purpose to make it "challenging".
>>557618029Whatever divine gear you spend dozens and dozens of hours grinding for right now is going to become immediately obsolete as soon as you enter the new NG+ cycle introduced by the first DLC. Really, all that divine rarity gear is going to be obsolete anyway when ethereal rarity gear gets added in (presumably) the second DLC. So if you're gonna grind, might as well wait until the last DLC. Besides, there's really nothing in NG+ that requires insane gear optimization. You can slap together a full set of random divine gear that's all LV170 (which I believe is the highest level cap of gear right now in NG+) and you can still beat any main mission, side quest or boss just fine. Just like with previous Nioh games, the gear minmaxing at this stage of the game (pre-DLC) is there if you want something to work towards that can melt enemies. If you're into that, then by all means go ahead. But like with previous Nioh games, it's not necessary for reasonably timed clears against bosses. You can still beat bosses in like 3 minutes (or even faster if you abuse buffs and debuffs and Confusion). It's not like having a terribly optimized set means that you're taking 10-20 minutes to kill bosses.
>>557628684>i cant tell what youre demoingThat's a low stance followup to a high stance quick, and a high stance pulse attack following a move in low stance. The restrictions aren't real
>>557629314when i saw the nioh 3 trailer i was already dreading the gnarled rocks/bullshit and crystals eveywhere. man, i dont even want to see japan.
>>557629314>Honestly, the Heian map is kinda linearIf I recall, it was only linear for the first 2 areas of it. Once you're tasked with purifying the 3 barriers, you have the same freedom to choose how you want to tackle these 3 barriers like with Hamamatsu.
Any high level players I should keep a tab on? I'm too shit at the game to figure out combos for weapons I don't play, but want to try out. Honestly even for weapons I do play I watch videos and get good ideas too. In particular trying to give hatchets a try and I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing.
>>557629789It's like, you can go one of two paths and sort of branch off slightly from there, but far from truly open
>>557629526ah, word. i had just taken it for granted at this point (ive played way too much)i recently started using the quick cancel swap skill and am now incorporating ninja into my combos. i have the longer mist skill, and ill swerve to the side and start winding up a big attack as samurai while they whiff their attack at my after imageyou can also bail out of some long attack recoveries easily, too
>>557628346>Hiruko is total trash, probably the worst boss Team Ninja has ever designed.Really? More than Lady Osakabe in Nioh 2? More than Orochi or the triple Kelleys in Nioh 1? More than Taotie in Wo Long? I can understand having problems with Hiruko, but hyperbolic shit like this makes you sound like a bad-faith shitposter tourist from /v/. You don't have to resort to these blatant exaggerations just to make a point.
>>557614767In Bakumatsu, not sure when exactly.
so why are people complaining about this guy again? he gets a lot of hyper armor for no reason but you just get behind him and he misses, only took me a few tries
>>557602521Thank you white savior.
>>557625701Cheers, anon
>>557630802I randomly came across that guy yesterday. All I can say is that mid stance odachi is so cheesy.
>>557631321yeah i died at 5% hp 1st try, is this the guy that can show up later in the main mission or something?
>>557607197I know it won't happen but I would love if they added twilight missions as a free update sometime around say June or July, in the middle between now and the first DLC in September. Get people playing the game again for drops and materials to build hype for the DLC, make it tied to the first DLC story somehow as a bridge.
Hmm 1kat severing spin is kind of weird. For some reason if the pro art gauge is full, when you use severing spin pro art just drains completely before you can chain into anything else? But if you using severing spin mid combo, it doesn't do this. Very weird. I don't know if it's a random attempt at balancing or what. I'm trying to use severing spin as a starter for combos, since it has a very lenient timing for blocking attacks. Can theoretically use it to parry the end of a yokai enemies attack string and get a ton of normal and ki damage off and drain their ki completely to start a full combo but it seemingly only works if the gauge isn't full and severing spin itself brings it to full (which then lets you chain into other moves).
>>557610875Same feeling as deflecting an enemy's whole combo in wo long.
>>557621036>>557621636You guys aren't reading what I wrote. It's not an issue of DoP being too quick, unfair, spammy, too tanky, etc. He's not "annoying" in the sense that he punishes the player. He's the worst nu-TN boss because of his animations and lack of a weapon. He basically kills you through contact damage, and contact damage is AIDS. Most bosses are visually affected by gravity and swing something threatening at you. This guy just slowly rubs his clothes on you and then floats away. Even with his burst attack it doesn't even seem like he's moving fast enough to even hurt you. Watch out he's going to caress you with an (unbladed) fan! It's so apparent in the 3 Oni mission because you fight the floating gayboy and then two real, intuitive bosses.
>>557630802he's hard if you actually have to interact with him and fight him for longer than 30 secondsnow that ive fought him like 50 times i can nearly no hit this boss, so it was worth it (probably not)
>>557631472>I know it won't happen butPretty sure the best fight in Nioh 2 was added post-release like that though
>>557630802If you don't beat him there he pops in to gatekeep you from the region boss. You did not beat the game if you did Okita's side mission tbqh
>>557631993i mean he does punish you for dodging backwards
>>557632302i don't dodge at all because im actually playing the game
>>557631962Are we talking about the same boss. What are you talking about he kills you through contact damage. What. Anyways i've beaten every TN arpg + dlc and i've very rarely had a problem with attack telgraphs or w/e and demon of pride is not an example of that either. Even the first time he did his super super delayed burst attack I countered it first time. I genuinely don't know what is supposed to make him so special that he's got your panties in a twist. Him floating doesn't actually do anything to stop you from hitting him with your attacks. Him not using a weapon doesn't matter when he still has fair telegraphs, with reasonable recovery to let you dodge and punish. I was deflecting some of his combo strings after like the 3rd death he's not doing anything wacky.
>>557629526You could've just said that instead of posting a long webm to prove something advanced players already figured out and people who have played spear in previous games already know you can switch stances mid attack to get whatever ki pulse moves you want
>>557632654>you can switch stances mid attack to get whatever ki pulse moves you wantYou could not switch stances mid attack to get a strong attack combo followup from the wrong stance. That's new. Spearfall can not be equipped to High stance in Nioh 3
>>557632439>a woman's skirt gently brushed me as she walked past, and I flew into the street from the impactAnd yes his burst attack is super super delayed and very uncharacteristic of literally any human or animal that fights. He's floatslop. Even other flying bosses in the game like the Great Tengu and Hino Enma acknowledge the in-game world's physics. DoP might as well have been a slowly rotating cube.
>>557633237that's his gimmick tho
>>557633236>That's new.Did you not read the part where I specified "ki pulse moves". I'm saying you could do that to get flourish or rainbow ruse off of any spear attack. Being able to switch and do any stances strong followup or hold strong is new but again it's stuff advanced players already found out since the demo.
>>557633237Okay so you're just autistic and you don't have a real criticism of the gameplay. You're literally just upset that he floats? Christ man. Get a grip on reality. Also, his super delayed burst attack isn't a problem (if you're implying it is) since you can use guardian skills to fully interrupt it (which is more fun than using burst counter)
where the fuck is the tengu mask in this game? I saw it on that one bandit boss.
>>557633831You get the smithing text as a reward for something in Bakumatsu. Just do everything.>>557633814Gameplay? When did I say anything about the gameplay? I don't like him because he floats (a design feature that makes him stand out in a bad way). Way more powerful yokai can't hover like that, but he can and he's some starter zone chump. Bad design. They could have at least made him a sexy woman like Envy.
>>557633691I read the part where you were an obnoxious homosexual complaining about how long a 28 second webm is
>>557634235>Gameplay? When did I say anything about the gameplay?where do you think you are
>>557634540You didn't show anyone anything useful. Get over it.
>>557634540i appreciated your webm
>equip Oppressive Strength>still get staggeredI guess I'm doing something wrong.
>>557634540it was a shit webm tbf you didnt even kill anything just stand there in the hub like cmon nigga

>>557637151>deflect the slower combos and single attacks>dodge the fast combos and spinning in the air leaving damage puddle attack
>>557637276i'll try, but he's hitting me for 1500 on a normal swing.
>>557637276You beat him on the first arena. Since he scales with the player, his stats get cracked.
>>557636237You didn't get the gesture that lets you pet one whenever you want?
>>557637276wrong, DEFLECT EVERYTHING!
>>557637954I think a few of it's attacks are impossible to deflect.
>help somebody beat horse yamagata>get to the crucible>host kicks me>"co-op defeat"This has happened like 10 times now
I'm not even gonna bother fighting niggeredge demon with samurai style, I'm just gonna abuse ninja style until it dies.
*cums in your hairy ass*how do you deflect this realistically?
>>557642179With a Kappa summon up my ass to protect it.
>>557641658Use a self-healing build, and then realize that the game isn't about skill but about how must ki damage you should be doing.
>>557593316We're back. I feel like KT's appeal to casual players to double down on the gameplay loop is a good strategy, but it's not perfect. Split Ninja and Samurai was clearly a bait & switch technique since the game overwhelms you with a billion different things. At first, it feels frustrating for older players and accessible for newbies. What bothers me is that if you've played previous games, you want to go straight to that hardcore experience. And these decisions slow that down.
what is blud talkin about lmao
>>557642179>*twirls*You actually came in my shadow clone's ass, gomen, you're still unfortunately a virgin ronin with no fief nor master

>>557642179Merely an afterimage
>mist has no iframeswhy the fuck not just dodge then
YUP YUP dogwalked bloodBITCH demon with Ninja. Now I can finally play Samurai again.
>>557645121it's better than dodge if you arent going to get an evade; so mainly used offensively. and it buys time if youre against a lot of little fags
bloodedge is like legit bugged (undertuned) and doesnt do enough ki damage vs block, so samurai is actually decent vs it. fucking gaki do more ki damage
>>557645121cuz it doesn't consume stamina and can be cancelled immediately into ninjutsu.DUH
why is demon of obsession so easy
>>557645121it does tho
Kunimatsu's quad tornado lightning storm dropWtf is the timing for thatWhen he starts falling?I tried like 4 times and gave up parrying it

>>557645484Magatsu already fights like this except for the huge slamIt's why so many people die to magatsu is they don't blockThis one has the added bonus of chipping you to death from element
is luckbringer talisman worth a slot
>>557643123I have 3k hours in Nioh games and Ninja is a cool addition that I find fun to play around withBack damage is a mechanic that more soulslikes should lean on
Bros I fucking love the way Axe plays now. Deflect has solved every issue it had.
>>557646593I imagine souls players simply enjoy being punished with a quick back sweeping attack with no rewards and incentive whatsoever
>>557645683you mean this? i think they intend you to interrupt it early
>>557646593idk Nioh 3 switching is worse than SOP and Ninja didn't feel unique like ROR ninja who felt more like a proper ninja and the game has better traversal mechanics and an attempt at open world. Back damage has always been OP now it's just more reliable because you have better movement. But my point is that KT should try to stop trying to appeal to casuals and do their thing. The best thing would be for everyone to leave Koei Tecmo and start over with a new IP. My Twitter already has some Nioh clones in development...
>>557647079Oh I mean I guess that was always an option, I was wondering if anyone can with confidence style shift the attack itself You know, for style points
>>557647273"Stop trying to appeal to casuals"All they did was add ninja gaidenYou literally can't make it more obviousFucking living artifact ninja looks like ryu's super ninja
i havent tried cestus yet; i also havent heard much about them either. sort of scuffed?
>it's another n**** Host walks in front of a kamikaze chariot episode
>final crucible>onyroki at the bottom of a big pit againcinema
>>557647747I have zero clue about clawsBut cestus is still good imo>Charging attack is still cheesy as FUCK vs human enemies>Spazzy combo is great against broken yokai, especially when martial arts proficiency is activeKi pulse directional input followups that make weapons like tonfa great>
>>557648235I say broken, i mean ki-lessI don't think any enemy is brokenAlthough I imagine there's a doppler effect or something happening with Yamagata on his fucking horse
>>557647985>Have a host>Just casually dash in front of him and style parry since he's clearly froze up like a deerBruh help or play by yourself
>defeat the source of the dark realmLiterally doesn't exist.
if these 99999 poise motherfuckers could fuck off back to wo long that would be great thanks
>>557649247what you just attack them when they're attacking to do damageodachi just laughs in stonevolley
>>557647273>But my point is that KT should try to stop trying to appeal to casuals and do their thingYou're retarded, this game is a compilation of all the mechanics they've been playing around with combined with their first attempt at making bigger themed environments rather than just mission corridors. None of this is about attempting to "appeal to casuals". You sound like you're 12 years old and your self worth is attached to your ability to Ki flux, this IS KT doing their own thing, that's what they've been doing the entire time.
>>557649247They've been this way since nioh 1.
I can fix her.
>>557649247You have the correct amount of IQ to be playing hammer
>>557649498> Worse platforming and traversal than ROR.> Endgame is DLC, again.> The game treats you like a baby. Are you sure?
How does Bloodegde scaling work? I heard something about it scaling with Revenants beating but can’t find anything when searching.
>>557649879>I really REALLY wanted a gliderwhy don't you go play zelda?
>>557649498You're both wrong. TN doesn't try to appeal to casuals, they just copy what other bigger devs are doing.Nioh was their Dark Souls, RotR was dogshi- their ubislop, Nioh 3 is their Elden Ring.

Saw a video earlier on this, if you were looking for a reason to spend your excess points on weapons you don't use, you can just use it for these skill types to give yourself a boost in attack power

>>557661136Does this work for samurai and all weapons?
>>557645121You can upgrade it so it dispels yokai pools, upgrade it so it counts as an attack so it keeps enemies stunlocked, and it actually recovers ki with the talons.
>>557660053cats, bloodedge, demon of pride, ibaraki, kasha can be good but usually just spins around doing nothing.

>>557661901I just really hate monkeys
>>557593316I really dislike that it's creeping out tryhard "crappy weapon" players. The game needs endgame content ASAP. I also think the game should support larger crowds of enemies. Bring back double bosses too.
>>557660053I haven't done intense testing but a few safe things to assume>AccumulationYou have a couple of exceptions that are Decent but otherwise trash in this role, elemental damage is a trap, especially if they're multi-element (Hiruko would get mogged by Otakemaru's pinky-nail, let alone pre-nerf Otakemaru).>SkillsYou will want the ones that give you untouched seals + animation cancel to make them nicer to user. Note these two alone is 10 on your universal and will have to suffer the summoning seal cooldown preventing spam (really hurts them as a primary source of accumulation).>BossesI don't feel the x1 cores are worth using because of that strict amount. Add 9 points to the earlier mention to double this to 2, and still hope you can get enough untouched seals to help could make them sing better than some of the onmyo they come with.>Good ones I've foundKoroka/Mermaid: Forward projectiles are very good, accumulation is solid as a supplement.Ninja Yoki/Kyokutsu/Scampuss: Nice options that work as a ki-damage button, Yoki/Kyokutsu feel more forgiving on the range department but Scampusses can put in work if you can keep the enemy close.Raiju: Most reliable element applier summon, unlike Ibaraki you get multiple too for exploration/dark realm shifts. Oni-bis and Biwa-Siwas could also work as they have a lot of accumulation but testing had them be unreliable in dishing it out whereas Raiju more likely to land.Skeleton Archers: Ranged pokes with some fire to pair with bombs. Megatsu Warriors are a good no-element alternative.Kasha: No fire accumulation but I recall being solid damage when her wheel hits.Gozuki: Seems good but was hard to fit with my playstyle, requires you to keep an enemy at a location to work. Mezuki maybe more reliable?Onmoraki: A good source of poison if needed
>Shogun mode crucibles still increases your spirit meterNeat!
>equipment transmog location has the shittest lighting in the entire game

PS5 is the cheapest version of the game. But the frame pacing is so bad in that version, how can you stand it?
>>557660053sentry does a shit ton of damage but it's slow and hard to time though that makes it satisfying to use imo
>>557661887Is Kasha not the wheel that she was in 2?
Th-thanks...
>>557665817tracking feels worse so sometimes it lazily circles the boss instead of hitting it. usually this happens on human bosses but sometimes the faster yokai as well.
>kill revenant >1 glory>kill enemy in expedition>1 glory

>>557666246well at least coop gives gear
>>557664882consolefags just don't notice these things and don't care. But that version should be relatively smooth? I assume the drops wouldn't be too noticeable with VRR.PC is always better imo, it also has the $0 version.
is sword + dual swords a good combo for samurai and ninja? I feel like there's too much overlap but I also dont know what I'm doing

>>557671595>how the fuck do I beat maria in nioh 1?Watch.https://files.catbox.moe/zeb2bd.mp4
What’s the fucking point of the sand consumable in new game plus if every base and lesser crucible reactivates on it’s own without the sand?
>>557672395So that you could force it to reactivate now instead of waiting for it to potentially do so later.
>use switchglaive for the first time>game crashes for the first timeInteresting.
>>557672529Why would you want to do that though? There’s no reward and I’ll reactivate on its own anyway
>>557671835They were having a sale
>>557671835Who the fuck knows? I don't know why they made Himiko into Naotora. Naotora was actually in Nioh 2 too. You could summon her as a helper and she even had voiced lines. Also you could fight her revenant in that one picture scroll too.
Himiko seems to have an innate knowledge of her timeline in relation to yours so as to when to start talking to you like she properly knows you
>>557673813She's forgotten you in the bath event for that achievement through
>>557672395If you're new to it, that shit does not persist through sessions. And the order that these things activate is wonky.There are some bases I flat out won't see randomly reactivate so I have to do it myself.
Explain the story in one sentance.
>>557674119It's shit
>>557674119Your supposed brother decides he wants to be shogun but is possessed by the ghost of a guy you angered 3000 years ago when you stopped him from being king however in doing this he sets off the chain of events that leads to you stopping him in both the past and the present in a closed time loop.
>>557674119Time travel to undo time damage and eventually kill the guy possessing your brother!
I do appreciate in Nioh the ability to go back to earlier stuff to practice without any risk of dying
redpill me on a build
>>557673986Oh okay that makes sense to me. Thanks anon. Spent my first session on new game plus playing whack-a-mole with bases and crucibles like an idiot. Was getting tired of that shit quickly, I’ll just ignore them now
>>557674119Power corrupts unless you have a shiny special Pokemon then it's divine might to make right.
Whoever designed Bloodedge Demons should be shot, pure artificial difficulty
>>557666246wha? I always get 40+ glory even if the rev is absurdly underleveled
>>557674675The only thing that's felt right to me is damage reduction on attack stacking. I hate waiting my turn and it lets me take that back every time no matter the scenario, no matter my weapon.
>>557671595power of the dick
>>557674119fable where you time travel to learn what makes one a shogun (you are gay(
I find it funny that of the revenant masters, the odachi and axe are still the most dangerous. The former because he can instantly one shot your ninja stance
>>557678618a lot of the masters can oneshot you desu
>>557671835Spirit Division doesn't have tangible scarcity you just send yours into someone else that projects your life story and then they have one of their own
Can two Yasakani be active at once this time?
>>557679934I'm wondering this too because last night I randomly dreamt that I had 10 of them for some reason lol
why do the fuggin nioh heroines be too normal despite being based on actors
>>557681467She should be like 78 here historically so presumably she was already immortal
>>557681467and then yokai bitches be liek
>He chatted with the other samurai about this and that, until finally he arrived on the subject of the local legend. “I’ve heard that there a creature called a shunoban who appears on this road at night. Have you heard this legend?” asked the first samurai. The other samurai turned to him and said, “Is he supposed to look something like this…?” As he spoke, his skin became red as if covered in blood. His hair grew out into spikes. His eyes began to glow like the stars. His mouth split open from ear to ear revealing a row of razor sharp fangs! The samurai was so frightened that he fainted right there in the road.>Some time later, he woke up. The monster was nowhere to be seen. The samurai ran as fast as he could down the road and stopped at the first house he saw. A woman lived there, and when she saw the terror in the poor samurai’s eyes she invited him in. As his nerves settled, he found the courage to tell the woman about the horrible monster he encountered.>“You poor thing. What a horrible sight to see alone on the road,” the woman consoled him. “By the way, did the monster you saw look something like this…?” As she spoke, her face transformed into the shunoban he had seen earlier.lmao
>>557682187HOLY
>Benevolent Graves from the previous difficulty appears in Shogun's JourneyHuh...
>>557682682Do the revenant ones from Shogun appear on Heir? I swear I saw a bunch referring to enemies that weren't in the area
I fucking hate the inventory management minigame50 fucking subsystems for every single bitwhat a dogshit game, I don't give a fuck, I'm giving myself infinite materials and crafting what I want
>>557682929Not that guy but I think so though the level of the revenants aren't right.
>>557683197there's filters to make it easy, this shows how retarded you are.Just equip your main set, main wep and then right trigger and break down everything else instantly in 1 button press, not hard little lad.
>>557682929I noticed this too but I don't think graves are placed exactly where someone died like in previous games, it feels like the game randomly places them now in the general area.
>>557683197I love how the filter is on a different button in different menus
>>557683893or maybe I can not give a fuck about 50 different currencies the game has, and just craft what I want? get bodied, faggot
>>557683197Dont forget not having an alphabetical order to any of the menus
>>557684153>set game to auto sell all loot blue and lower at the shrine>lock anything you want to keep, then pray and have everything auto sell. >lock divines and purples you want to keep, dismantle everything else at blacksmith
We've all died plenty of times, but how many here besides me can say they've beat the game without losing their grave even once?
>>557685069I've probably lost graves like 5 times total throughout the entire series.Okay I actually dont remember for Nioh 1 but Nioh 2 I can recall like 3 times max and I haven't lost one yet in Nioh 3 but i've also only died 20~ times not counting battle scroll bosses
Shill me your clan choiceI maxed out Kakizaki and want to level up a second one
>>557684153They should add yokai coins that you can spend to have sex with yokai girls
>>557599372The tall blue lady with the voodoo doll is missing too
>>557685875I've got Yasha in the illustrations
beat takeda 2 first try but cool fight.
>>557684153you were whining about inventory space I told you how to have space with single press of a button, faggot loser.
>>557685915wtf give her to me
>>557682187what is this made it
The adventure finally begins again
do accessories count as armor for the title to beat a boss without armor?
Oh you're a nioh fan? describe every female demon's toes
>>557687196couldn't you just remove everything and just go beat the first crucible grandma with ease from the battle scroll?
>>557687679yeah but it would be nice to know if accessories count or not regardless
>>557681467the first time someone posted this pic I thought you guys edited her to be doing the osaka hyberborean meme
>>557682376wtf how come we weren't this funny when we were half-yokai
ya know, letting you refight bosses seemed like the most obvious use case for battle scrolls so I am disappointed to see that not really being a thing
>>557688752They do for the main mission bosses at least, you just have to go through that whole mission they're in again.
You guys happen to know where the Vermillion spear is dropped?
so apparently for the title you need to unequip armor from both samurai and ninja
The Inari set interests me. Is there a good way to get buffs on weapons permanently or semi-permanently or at least very easily that doesn't involve using a billion talismans or using Tengen Kujaku?
>>557690381Also, the first crucible DOES NOT work for getting the title for not killing any enemies besides the boss. Indirect kills still count against you.
>>557691532i got that one entirely by accident
>>557682187I have given up on human women
>>557691964they gave up on you long ago bud
>>557687926true just do a quick run to find out, keep only accs on if you get the title theres your answer
can yasakanis start dropping as soon as im in ng+ or do i have to reach a certain point/enemy to farm?
>>557683197Will say even as an inventory enjoyer, this game has a bit worse UI than Nioh 2. Not being able to search set bonuses sucks when graces enter the premises, how you access the storehouse is a bit scuffed (have to be praying at a shrine and go into inventory), and that the filter settings are shared instead of being per-item type (so if you search for specific pants, you have to reset it when looking at gloves).>>557690913The main methods of elemental weapon at present are talismans and Tengen Kujuku. The oni-bis don't buff your weapon anymore, instead being slow grenades. The one mercy is that if going Ninja (Tengen Kujuku), ninjitsu titles can be used to drastically help with spirit force if you get the spirit force generation one. My setup is Shuriken/Shrapnel Bombs/Thundering Calamity.I'm back in Training Ground and got a few updates>Elemental Weapon DamageApparently I was reading numbers wrong because it only boosts melee damage, ninjitsu isn't buffed. I swear it did last testing session but it didn't here.>Damage Reduction (Amrita Absorbed)/DefenseSadly can't test to pinpoint what is going on but something fucky is because I did update a couple of Iga Ninja pieces and got much tankier, was notable for the Minamotos boss fights when sparing them. I think this affix and/or the defense stat actually help a lot if you are having issues staying alive, even if you've >Gain Amrita (Strong attack)Spawns on ranged weapons too in case you wanted to turbo optimize your sets.>Yasakani Magatama StackingNo they do not stack.>BlacksmithThe exponential costs thing might actually be region related. Noticed in Heian that I could level guardian spirits to 40 without spending 500k+ soul fragments (~8k instead). Perhaps progressing the story makes these systems more tame? Just hit Antiquity but managing inventory first to update my finds for my builds (Ninja + Inari is operational even if I'll miss A Agility).
so now that the dust has settled, what do we think of ninja style? i think i'm gonna have a melty over them butchering my nioh 2 fists with this godawful talon shit they replaced it with
>>557694138but samurai has fists too
>>557694138who's gonna tell him
>>557694226>>557694248wait samurai gets fists as well? i thought last weapon was gonna be the shitstaff. fucking saved
the hardest boss in NG is also the hardest boss in NG+ imagine that
>>557694979I am 30 levels below, what's the fastest way to level up imo
>>557694979The hatchets chad?
>>557694346Shitstaff is a ninja weapon. There's a fist weapon for both sam and nin
>get summoned>fall of a cliffhow embarrassing
>that time Wo Long had a collab with Lies of PHow long until it happens with Nioh 3 and Ninja Gaiden 4?
>>557694346samurai fist is amazing get A toughness asap and you can just pose through everythingI love comboing the tackle into multiple martial arts feels more like a kino samurai wrestler
I'm at the end of my NG+ run so I supercharged a bloodedge demon just to see how it behaves at that level, it one shots with most of its moves but I got it down after about 30 deaths because it spawned in a Heien snowstorm and the performance slowed down to a crawl like I was afflicted with the lightning debuff
>>557698404Using ALL of your tools lmao
>>557700478I tensed up the whole time and retreated to just guarding on a single weapon because most of my deaths were getting clipped in the middle of a style shift or flash attacking between four weapons which put myself in a bad position to get one shot, on top of the bad performance adding input lag in the middle of the fight with all the effects going off on the ground and the snow. Now I know why all the Japanese players no hitting bloodedge use axe since the openings are too short to make use of everything comfortably.
I will now proceed to pleasure myself with my 1kat
the game has this weird fucked up lighting effect in the 2nd era I can't tell if its supposed to be like a weird glare or if its meant to make it look like things (player character included) have snow on them. its fucking jarring when things have or dont have snow on them depending on the camera angle
>>557701939water and snow get on your character same with the poop river area
How well can i run the game on a 3070 and a ryzen 7 5800x? For comparison i can get around a 100 frames on nioh 2.
>>557702736poor
>>557702782Sad. Maybe ill wait for more opttimization or for pc parts price to go down but either doesn't sound likely.
Final update for now because I need to sleep, good news is that I finally have a build that wasn't made in a cave huffing copium.>InariKi recovery buff is pretty potent but of a short duration, intellect/Effect Duration (or Sage on Ninja if it's a Samurai-Inari build) would be appreciated here. Doesn't work on summoning seals because fuck you, Explosive Shot/Hellspark/Geyser Shot/Familiars are good to have on standby if not using elemental weapon talismans to help with application.>Amrita Absorption buffsSo it does seem the DMG boost is universal as even the affix for it is a 10% boost, the DMG reduction version is 20% less received. These are both multiplicative so it's very hard to argue not having these + Amrita (strong attack) ranged weapon. For the latter it's under the Drops affix category but you can reforge for it on bows.>Skill Issue QuestionAny tips on how to better hit the backs of mobs when on Ninja? Doing Dual Kat + Tonfa and while I don't have issues with Tonfa (it is strong as hell, tons of mobility and ki damage), Dual Kat has been fickle (when things go right, it fucking shreds but that hasn't been as common as I'd like). Maybe need to retool my skill-loadout (Spinning Dragon maybe is bait?).
>>557703184Try using the 1kat lb+X aerial attack. Unlike the 2kat one which maintains your altitude, the 1kat attack is aimed slightly downward, which will push you through your target and put you reliably behind them.
Can the "Increased Damage Dealt" buffs stack? I have one of them being triggered on my gloves, but my gears set bonus also has it.
>discover sword of meditation>sword is fun againdamn, bonking is fucking based
>>557704378its even more funny with this and obscene amounts of damage reduction while attacking tanking
>>557703525Might tinker with replacing my tonfas for ninja 1kat if I get an Inari one just to test it out. Really want to keep ninja 2kat and make it work because I multi-slashes going brr. Tomorrow I should be fighting Kusanagi who might be a better test run than Yoshitsune?>>557704315The affect buffs don't stack like how you want, what happens is that the newest one gets applied so its redundant if you are running the 1st Captain set and have the increased DMG Dealt on Amrita on your gloves. It also makes it where Power/Carnage Talisman isn't worth it because of this overwriting system (can be fine as its less upkeep to manage in terms of buff application).
doing way too little damage in antiquity ng+
does the xXBLOODEDGEXx demon get stronger if you kill more revenants or what
What should my build look like at lvl150? I need a few basic spells and maxed attack on my spear. Only lvl63 right now
>>557704993It literally says so on the summoning thingy.
>>557705565they might be gaslighting me
Is there some way to only select Samurai or Ninja get? All the settings seem to include both. I just want to disassemble all samurai shit
bro how do I get back to heianI returned to warring states after being teleported to heian after the final area boss and now I can't find a way to go backam I bricked?
Just got some cestuses for the first time. How the hell do you play with this shit? What's the easy mode shit and what are some cool combos?
Does Odachi have anyway to do absurd damage under the right circumstances? Like Dual Blade has that ten trillion hit stand still thing or Katana has Sword of Meditation.I feel like I'm doing insanely low damage compared to just about anything else...
So fucking tired of all these ledges and this game's dogshit jumping to let you get back onto them when any random thing lets you fall off>b-but Nioh 1 and 2 had death pits everywhereAnd they were gay for it too
>>557707568check battle scrolls maybe?
1kat looks so cool but I can't into the gameplay
>>557707825i feel the same way about it after going from 1kat to odachi even the charged moonlit snow that eats all your ki feels like wet paper compared to 1kat moves
>get hit once by enemy>switch to tonfa>delete them
>accidentally hit a mujina
>>557708185It was actually because that's not the starting area whoops
>>557707825i've tested it (extensively) and it's damage really is too low. should be like 30% higher for it's regular attacksit has some very abusable martial arts thoughswitchglaive also does too little damage on some of its' high commitment attacks
>>557593316Just met that nignog Kagetoki, is this a joke? I easily beat all bosses with my Odachi build but I just keep dying to this little shit. It seems he has infinite HP and can summon a yokai out of his ass while I'm comboing him.
>>557709370think about this; they're surrounded by death and suffering, and if you fail their little game they decide you should diekill all mujina
ferrets are friends
>>557709143https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PdvVd-t1Voyou when you switch to your tonfa
>>557710454>when he hands you a katana and you're like "bitch I don't use 1kat"
>>557709513its*i just woke up and it was haunting me
>start off with Axe>don't realize it's insanely powerful and easy to use just want to be a big boy>blocks mean nothing, just keep hitting>incentivized by stats and armor pool for axe to wear heavy armor>innate moveset has tonnes of poise, even best end game set makes you unable to be staggered while charging attacks>have a ki pulse attack which makes humanoids insanely easy>try other weapons>suddenly enemies blocking makes me feel slow and retarded>can't just poise through everything>go back to axeI'm sorry... It's a skill issue I guess...
>>557710894wait until you experience [A] toughness full heavy armor todo clan with a epic fist weapon with 50+ para on it
>>557702736you can get 60fps if you set DLSS to 40ish
>>557706167for auto disassemble? no
>>557709143you didn't beat the game
>>557595779and that's a good thingfuck 'missions'
>>557706167to be fair it takes awhile to hit 2k items just right trigger while on the all samurai armor category so it mass breaks down in 1 button when you need to dump your inventory
In Nioh 2 playing anything but light armor load feels wrong but in 3 it doesn't really feel like it matters all that much.
>>557711543its because you go above 70% load as a stamlet
>>557710894I'm aware this is just a fun post, but if anyone doesn't know this, even in low and mid stance at C toughness if you execute active skills without the starter hit bouncing off enemies' guard it will break through just like if you were attacking them in high stance. Same thing applies to Ninja, people just need to space it out instead of bashing their quick attacks against an infinite ki bar.
i think all of these are sick. it's too bad you have to pick
>Getting my ass beat by Ryoma Shingen>lvl 62>Recommended level 50Oh well, time to go ninja and just dodge instead.
Most of the achievements were fine but this dung roller one kinda sucks.
Bros which summons do you like to use? I love the Kamaitachi summon and Tsurara summon.
>>557714286sentry
>>557714286I'm still playing around with the summon cores
Why does the ferret animation have to show its asshole
spear is pretty fucking bad isn't it
>>557714807Bros is this true? Spear was my weaponfu in 1 and 2 but I haven't played it yet in 3 because I'm trying other weapons.
>>557714286Thorned Gaki is deceptively good and you get a bunch of them
>>557714447Ever had a cat? They're way too comfortable with just showing you their assholes. Mustelids are the same.
>play talons>decide I want to try new weapon>play hatchets>this is kinda fun even if it's slower>get Talon's version of Beyond Infinity like 10 mins laterFuck sakes here we go again
>yashas in the pleasure districtIsn't Yasha supposed to be a noblewoman turned yokai?
>>557714807I can't really tell since game is easy with every weps
> I want to play KT MH clone.> But I have to pay for the maximum tier of Gaypass.No, thank you. I'll grind my Nioh Deathless.
STOP GIVING ME NINJA LOCKS
>>557715389What's KT MH clone?
>>557714807what's bad about it?
>>557715287you'll have more fun if you chill out on the talismans and summons
>>557715536damage/Ki damage dealt for the length of the animation commitment required
>>557715481wild hearts
>>557715584OoohI forgot about that game, was it any good?
A bunch of skills deflect/parry/evade attacks without actually specifically saying that they do so in the text. Is there any sort of comprehensive list that has all of just those skills listed? I'm curious on how many there are and it would be fun to compare how many active frames the deflection window is as well.
For the anons in NG+ right now, is it really worth it to clear all the crucibles and spikes just for +1 spirit force from each? They're painfully easy and I wish there was a less time-consuming way to do it.Also if you press Y in the map you can place custom icons so you know which ones you've done when they reset.>>557714807Piercing Rain is the tonfas of samurai. It's a shame there aren't way more crucible skills.
>>557715803just look at the animation lil bro
>>557715823I'm really hoping they just add more crucible skills to the game. Coud just be an update so we don't have to wait for the DLC.
>make guardian skills cost less>increase enemy amount, better enemy placement and make them harderDo this and the game will surpass Nioh 2 for me.
>>557715583you should probably learn how to use it before you comment
>>557715823>Piercing Rain is the tonfas of samuraiExcept Tonfas cancel their atatatatataa into gigantic i-frames on demand and then restart it on demand with zero windup while Spear is committed for like 4 whole seconds worth of animation time after a slow heavy starter which whiffs on people who casually walk left
>>557655614I'm levelling my magic up to 25 just for her. I don't even use Onmyo much (I main Versatility).
>>557660443>Miyamoto MusashiHe was already in 1 iirc.
>>557717342you should probably learn to use it before you claim otherwise
>>557661136Anyone got a list of cheapest of those?
>>557717448i've played through most of the game with it, included the boss rush battle scrolls in ng+you're just a dogshit retard
>>557717253The open fields are not as good as missions that can be much more tightly designed. It was worth an experiment but wasn't worth it conclusively.
>>557671895Not what I expectedout oa catbox link.
>>557718241yeah personally i expected either porn or good gameplay and i saw the most pussy-ass shit i've seen in a hot minute
>>557717343>gigantic i-framescmon that's not really true
>>557718238Nah I like the open field a lot just as much as the mission structure from 1&2 at least the vision of it but the first demo showed a lot more promise with enemies than the full release since it had a lot more enemies around every corner and was a bit more difficult in general, it's like they nerfed the game because too many people complained. Missions in the first 2 games ranged from meh to alright with some great missions here and there. 1 was the best in this regard when it came to the mission structure quality and difficulty but I don't think it level design was anything to write home about in general, Team Ninja's best quality was always being mean sons of bitches that always kept you on your toes which is honestly what is missing in 3, the devs are being TOO NICE even though the game is very fun.
>>557718303Someone asked how to defeat Maria, and I presented a video on how to do it. If you want combo slop, play one of the later games.
>>557719651>Team Ninja's best quality was always being mean sons of bitches that always kept you on your toes which is honestly what is missing in 3, the devs are being TOO NICE even though the game is very fun.Fucking this. Where are the ambushes and the instakill pitfalls etc? Game has like 3 nure-onna on the ceiling and I don't remember a single gaki dropping on you after the first scampuss you encouter.
>two favorite weapons (Spear and Odachi) are absolute trashWell this sucks...
>>557720135For real? Damn I liked those weapons too.
>>557711958These skills are all shit and whoever forgot to add deadly spiral is a nigger
>>557720135Spear is ass, but I make it work. Odachi is busted as fuck and only really needs like...3 attacks.
This should be good for anyone on Steam that was having issues finding other players
I've seen many posts about splitstaff and kusarigama being bad but why are they bad?
>>557721594skill issuesome weapons could use some balancing but none of them are down right bad except maybe odachi
>>557721389what are you doing with odachi?
>>557721694>>557721594splitstaff is actually okay, but kusa... what is kusa good for?

>38 hours in the game>mfw i just unlocked an entire new maptime to go autistically exploring again for another 35 hours
>>557721715low stance is the best
>>557721715Focus on Spirit Gauge for your build, and spam enhanced Ground Sweepers.
>>557721892I am impressed, the final map seems just as good as the first one. I think it's smart for devs to sorta sandwich the best maps. Really, there doesn't seem to be a map that didn't get a fair amount of attention.
>>557660053just use raichu because it looks cool and you get 2
>>557721892Bro go to the golden chest on the first map when you get the new spirit trust me.
Quite literally every single death I've had in the past 20 hours has been from random retarded areas to fall off
>>557721561So there was a region lock?
>>557720135what weapons are good then? Tonfa, axe?
>>557721854its not that good
>>557722465Any weapon with nigh combos pretty much outclass anything that doesn't have a "final slash" OHKO move like Katana or Odachi. All weapons are viable though.
I can't imagine the torment this poor shmuck must have suffered being the gatekeeper to all the other bosses in this scroll
Almost beat fish guy on my first try but then I got one show by one koi slap
the bosses are too hard
tfw you don't do an optional mission and have to do an Okita Soji into Fishman boss battle.
>>557723373i also just found this out yesterday. odachi's swirling snow can do this too
>>557723863>>557723373also the x finisher does a lot more damage, no?
>>557723373oh yeah baby that's the gameplay i'm looking for
>>557717887>i've played through most of the game with itAll you're saying is that you have zero perspective
>>557724376it was about whether or not i knew how to use it. keep up ive been done ng+ testing the other weapons sinceare you even in ng+?
>2 retards who will never let the other have the final wordNo one cares faggots
>>557723840I heard about that. I just did all the side stuff and tha fag didn't clearly even die when you beat him.
>>557723917X finisher?
>>557723830which ones?
Finally finished my retard baby mode build. I could optimize it a lot more, but I'm already at the point where I can safely do nothing but spam attack and nothing else. No blocking, no dodging. And having 4k HP without Todo clan is pretty funny too.See you all in the DLC, I guess.
What do you guys do with your excess gear primarily? I'm working through the titles for dedicating and taking apart at the blacksmith, but wondering what's the roughly best plan when I've got the titles. I'm guessing just donating to the shrine is at least not a bad idea until I start hitting higher levels
>>557724740so far, all of them, but now i'm stuck on shingen 3.

We need more boss rush missions.
>>557724765i auto sell blue and under (CASH), then ill deconstruct ninja gear, soul extract samurai... or viseversa
>>557725185Oh I haven't found that one But I remember it being pretty bad in 2, did they change it?
FYI for crucible weapon farmers - did the last mission again and farmed the castle passageway shrine on others' recommendation while looking for a divine crucible demontear sword. After about an hour at the shrine and then finishing the mission, this is what I got from it.Seems like specific enemies will only drop certain items as crucible weapons, even if you have items specified at the sudama menu. Not sure where to even start searching for the sword I want now, since the only things I can guess would drop it are ninjas or ninja yoki.
>>557724765unironically it doesn't matter that much since price and shit raise exponentially with item level. generally you want to balance money and extraction about 50/50, and you want to donate enough to get max rank on a clan. new ion nioh 3 you can keep your old clan bonus at the highest achieved rank so imo you should do that first.
>>557724787There's a shingen 3?But I can't imagine that being much harder than Shingen 1 (push over) or Shingen 2 (even easier)
>>557725461>Seems like specific enemies will only drop certain items as crucible weaponsNow I'm wondering if there's a reason I keep getting weapons and not the magatama I actually need since I've been farming Yokai and not humans
>>557725254does big damage
>>557725461pretty sure the weapon type is tied to mission not enemies
>>557726175Pretty niceDoes it give enough time to continue the loop?
>>557725461that's cursed. which one was this? very last battle scroll? ill see if i get the same stuff, or if theres something more sinister going on
>takeda's four heavenly kings>actually it's five because uhhh fuck you
>>557726240I'm not sure if that's the case because, despite there being a clearly large quantity of the same few weapons, there is a handful of other random ones that would have come from the enemies I had killed along the way as well.>>557726298Yeah, "A Sinister End," at the 2nd to last shrine where there are 5 human guys sitting around in a room
>>557726397It's like a band name, "Takeda and the four heavenly kings"
>>557726254yep, you are swinging into them while theyre getting up
>still have to put skills on specific inputs instead of mapping them yourself>also lets change what skills go on what input every gamecan you please fuck off with this shit
is there much point to continuing in NG+ or should I just delete and reinstall when they release half of the endgame at the end of this year? I had fun but its pretty much just complete and wait now, yes?
>>557727578yea id recommend it. im just fucking around with a few more weapons then its probably the same for me
>>557725082LMAO
Ninja is really growing on me
Splitstave has two skills to pick from, one for "Attacks that add hits" and one for "Attacks that increase range". What the fuck does holding X/Y count as? It extends range but it also hits multiple times.
>>557729524Cicada shell is crazy
>>557689563There's literally battle scrolls that're just bosses, but they couldn't be assed to make one for each boss I guess.>have to go through the stage again to refight themYup. Welcome to character action games.
>>557730001For me, it's lightning step.
>>557729524>>557730001>>557730319Improved shrapnel bomb with only 20 points into skill will almost one shot large bosses, even toward the end of NG.The second time you fight the big tittied oni with one arm, I threw a single bomb at her to take her to half health and it didn't even fully hit her. Ninja is absolutely broken, and people say onmyo magic is OP.
>>557730474damn i never unlocked it, i thought itd be a meme
I HATE YOSHINOBU
One bomb does more damage than a summon I only get one charge of per shrine, one bomb replenishes in like 2-3 melee attacks. I have no focus on ninjutsu, my shit's mostly into magic and buffing myself. Legitimately a busted skill. The only downside is the windup time, but you do it when an enemy stands still for a second and you're good. Larger enemies like the large one eye yokai you can just walk up to and one shot easily. (It also causes burning if they don't die instantly.)
>>557729524I do not "style change", I don't use "skills", I do not use "omnyo magic" or consumables. I DEFLECT, and if I die then I JUST TRY AGAIN.
>>557731890If you used any weapon other than your bare fists then you didn’t beat the game

>>557732690Same, don't know what's going on with that
I heard takeda's armor set and weapon do exist but you have to bother fighting his human form only?
>no justice ministry set>no dreaming demon set>no genmei onmyo set>no pit viper set>new red demon armor is a downgrade from the old set>no tsuchigumo set despite their fists being in as talons>no demon king set>no kingo set>no onmyo warrior set>no vice minister set>no suzuka set>no yatagarasu set>no sarutobi shinobi set>no genius strategist set>no hayabusa set>bakumatsu era only has a couple really good looking sets, the rest range from mid to set bonusless trash only trash mobs and noobs wear>nothing totally western like in nioh 1 though>there's literally an npc with a suit you can tell is wearable, but he never gives you one, he isn't even transformable iirc>every armor set is either exclusively samurai or exclusively ninja>you're (nonsensically) not even allowed to mix them in the transmog menuGuess it's gonna just be First Captain and Shock Troop for me until the dlc blesses us with more fashion.
7 months till the first DLC is so bloody stupid, I hope they have plans to add free stuff between now and then
>>557732690>>557733008Yeah same
Can someone help me with odachi? I'm trying to use it but I seem to deal pretty low damage while my ki usage is through the roof. I keep trying new skills and combos while also trying different set combos to try and pull as much damage as I can out of this shit but I'm seriously lost. Where is my damage?
>>557734184i'd also like to know this. odachi is either shit or we are.
From still having ptsd from nioh 1/2's tengus to killing the great tengu first try in 3.Still a great boss, I appreciate how very little bs the game has so far.
>>557733480I suspect they'll give us battle scrolls with old bosses that didn't make it in in them that'll hopefully drop smithing texts for old armor sets that didn't make it in either.There's too little battle scrolls, and too much perfectly good old shit missing.I know they can't just slap em in, otherwise they would have already. They gotta remodel everything for the new engine and everything, but the conceptual design and most of the animation work would already be done.They've dabbled with non dlc content updates for nioh 2 before also.
>>557733440Considering how much this game took from rise of ronin I'm surprised they didn't just add in all of the fashion from that game.
>>557734184>>557734268its damage is shit... BUT it has a bunch of cheese:there's the arts gauge ground sweeper spamyou can stack reduced damage while attacking and use thunderbolt/whateverswirling snow can consistently ki break humanoidsand moonlit snow (redux) is ol reliableaside from CHEATCODES, the stance switching combo stuff is pretty good and undaunted/cuckoo's call (and your deflect counter) are pretty good defensive skills
>>557730319I knew it would never come off my bar when I found out you're still silent during it can can dash across the room and still get a sneak attack
which wep has the best parries THAT ACTUALLY WORK ON YOKAI
>>557734771what's really fucking gay, is that it's a giant sword and the little katana has harder single hit moves
>>557734607maybe Sony has the rights to that shit? idk, it is a crime though, that transmog system and those outfits were so much ebtter
PSA: The roger rabbit soul core is the most powerful soul core in the history of Nioh. (in NG+ at least).I was fighting Takeda Shingen (human) and it completely depleted his ki from full, giving me a free grapple + enough time to water sword (sam2kat) half his health.Absolutely busted.
>stack healing on amrita gain>stack reduced damage taken>stack reduced damage taken while attacking>equip either caestus or axe>equip amrita gain on arts proficiency>equip unable to be staggered during arts proficiency So is this the meta? I can't be killed, can't be staggered. With axe I do substantially more damage but with caestus I hit so fast and so much that I have several hundred health per second
>>557734771also while they nerfed it, bolting boar is still cheese against any human
>>557733241I got the smithing text for his glaive and armour off of his Yokai form in Tiger's Cause, but he never dropped pieces of his set.
>>557735131probably doesnt get much better than that
>>557734591>I suspect they'll give us battle scrolls with old bosses that didn't make it in in them that'll hopefully drop smithing texts for old armor sets that didn't make it in either.>There's too little battle scrolls, and too much perfectly good old shit missing.Yeah fullly agree. Scrolls ahve some of my favorite stuff in this game like the woman yokai guantlet for example. I really want more.
>>557735106what the fuck is roger rabbit soul core lmao
Okay seriously Hatchets need to be the standard for Ninja. If Nioh 3 is gonna be the last Nioh, at least mainline title, they need to put a lot of effort to bringing all of the ninja weapons up to it's standard. Hatchet has a good amount of moves, mobility, and especially air options/attacks. There's a lot more choices in what I can do at any given moment that completely trumps other weapons.
>>557733440You don't really get transformations quite as cool as nioh 1 and 2 either.No edgelord shit like Edward Kelly, Ashiya Doman, Kashin Koji, or evil Tokichiro.Sever lack of sexy females, like Okatsu, Okuni, or Maria. Of course Nioh 3 lady's hottest outfit is the one version of her that's untransformable.No Wirriam transformation is actually just crazy.
>>557734771I was saying this since Nioh 2 brought us Switchglaive but there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why Odachi's stance switch combos don't work exactly like switchglaives. Having to not use many of Odachis cool and good finishers if you want to use the stance switch moves is GAY and RETARDED
>>557735687I assume he's talking about the screaming gremlins that mostly show up in the forest.
samurai 2kat, bros, what do you use for your mid stance lb+y?
>>557736347punish
>>557735687>>557736302Yeah you know the scene in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" where Roger Rabbit has a shot of whiskey and starts shooting out steam and he screams so loud all the windows shatter? That's what it does to your opponent's ki.
>>557736347this is what i use
I noticed a deficiency of using the old control scheme.Take the kusarigama for example. It has a jumping slash skill.New scheme: Up + TriangleOld scheme: L1 + SquareIn the new scheme you can do the skill immediately after doing a heavy attack. However in the old scheme if you have a light attack after heavy attack skill equipped (Triangle -> Square) then you cannot do the skill immediately after a heavy attack since it does that other skill instead.Does that make sense? I should just make a webm. Still using the old scheme despite that, but now im wondering if there are any other similar scenarios.
>>557737225I know what you're talking about but you can still get around this by just ki pulsing
is it just a coincidence or why do I constantly get the same armor drops everywhere?
>>557736842no, this movie is cringe
>>557738232there is soft weighting towards item types and items you have equipped
Finally decided to edit my character and actually make it look less default, how'd I do?>>557738232I think it's related to the area you're in and possibly weighted toward weapon types you're already using.
>>557738632>>557738668I guess that makes sense. It's also heavy armor yeah.
>>557738668Forgot my image like a retard. Now 120s later I'll post it.

>>557738898Nah I'm a zoomzoom, I just like cinema.>>557738563No, that movie is basedNG+ so far is too easy. At Heian now, expecting it to pick up.
I played Nioh 1 and 2 without focusing on breaking boss ki. It would happen from time to time but it wasn't a priority. Now I'm focusing ki damage after years of watching bossrape and toonf webms and it's actually so much more fun than just fighting normally.
>>557739809he spends 8 years to kill the boss while a samurai chad just spikes him down and doesn't have to run like a little weasel for a million ages
mfw several full gear sets are blueprint only
>>557732601We're decimating them.
>>557740681>everyone abusing todo nowdamn that shit caught on fast lol
>>557740518
>>557740535>reduced damage taken while attacking>reduced damage taken while in semen mode>infinite hyperarmour in semen mode>life restore from attackingYep it's time to OUTSKILL this boss because I'm such a chad
>>557739809what’s wrong with it
>>557740889
>>557740535I wish there was a swap attack for switching to ninja like there is for swapping weapons. Or that it was just more instantaneous and less momentum breaking.I want to supplement my samurai with ninja more, but I mainly just switch to ninja to lightning step once, or throw kunai at crucible flies, or take advantage of the second set of item slots, and that's it. It's kinda too clunky to switch mid-combo.
Somebody explain why thundering calamity does >5000 damage and pierces targets, and recharges every few melee attacks yet lightning shot gets 12 charges total and only does a couple hundred damage per shot even though I have 40 points into magic and dedicated into onmyo damage skills?I fucking hate ninjutsu.
>>557741203there is. it's on a skill.
>>557740795>EveryoneI'm on Watanabe. But I was tempted when doing Yoshinobu.BTW, final boss on NG+ went much, much easier than on NG for me. First timed it on NG+ and even had elixirs to spare, and on NG I struggled with him the most out of all the bosses.
>get stuck in the fight against dipshit brother>can't get past his bullshit hyper armor to even remotely lower his ki>this goes on for like 15 attempts>decide to just say fuck it and whittle him down with poison>works on the first tryFuck that fight
>>557741293Yeah once you try thundering calamity you can't not use it.Same with nin1kat aerial attacks and Life Leech talisman. You have so many tools that I find myself only playing Nioh (samurai style comboing) when the boss is staggerable. Arts meter is great though.
>>557742338Mom said it's my turn to be shogun

Just got back to Edo castle, wtf was Antiquities, it was like 1 dungeon and a quarter of an area. Might as well been a scroll mission.Did they run out of money while making the game?
>>557743192>getting hit by the absolute easiest attack to avoid:skull:
>>557743192Kunimatsu wants to be Shogun, but his grandpa won't let him
>>557743192nothing personnel brother
>>557743497The game is essentially split in 3 "acts", heian->yamatai->Edo 2.0 Reloaded is essentially one very straightforward act before you go back to open world shenanigans.
>>557741293The short answer is that you're comparing the strongest lighning ninjutsu to the weakest lightning talisman. The long answer is that you're supposed to use both together with shadow ninjutsu being your magic filler and onmyouji talismans being your strong attacks. You're complaining about the distinction between edgelord magic and nerd magic when it's all magic at the end of the day.If anything you should be pointing your anger towards guardian spirit skills shitting all over it.
>>557746364Guardian spirit skills are also better than onmyo magic.
do I need to play 1 and 2 to enjoy this game?
Took me 75 hours to see the credits. Honestly I think it was kinda downhill after sengoku map.
>>557746691You will probably enjoy 3 more if you didn't play 1 and 2, actually.
>>557746691nope
>>557746364how come your dojo yokai don't die in 1 hit like mine?
>game crashed after I beat the boss and put me back before I beat himnig
>>557746834They updated the game so that they have a lot more HP now
>>557746691No but Samurai will be absurdly overwhelming for a complete newcomer and ninja wont really teach you the skills to use it (though you can just use ninja only and not really suffer)
Are the special effects of your 2nd weapon also active while you have weapon 1 equipped?Like Amrita Gauge Charge or Life Drain?Or are they only on when you're using that weapon.
>>557747942amrita gauge yes lifedrain no
Why does it feel like I'm missing a ton of spirit guardians? Are there optional ones hiding around warring states and heian?
STOP GIVING ME WIND SPIRITS AIIEEEEEEE
>>557748773There's at least one from a scroll mission but it's just another ninja stance spirit.
>>557748773There is in heian for white flag iirc.
>>557748773there just aren't very many
What is the level cap?
>No new skill points in NG+But why?Was kind of expecting to at least be able to max out every weapon skill trees since it's a minor inconvenience to reset an entire weapon skill tree in case you want to switch to a brand new weapon.They also give you a ton of those passive skills but gave you so little points to use them.
>>557750463You can create sets for armor and skills that you can easily switch between at shrines
>>557750409people are saying 250
>get to choose a clan>heard about Todo>"well I'm pirating anyway so the bonus will likely be nothing anyway since it's offline">life really doubled anywayThe fuck, why?
>>557750993Don't question it lad just enjoy it.
>>557750631>just hit 100 recently>"ok surely I'm almost to lvl cap now">see this postsheesh nioh is the game that keeps giving
>>557750993it's a glitch
>>557751514>Not patched today yet again You sure they didn’t just buff a shit clan bonus into an actually usable buff. If you thinks it’s too easy then don’t use it.
>>557751884yes because it works based on all stats or there's a misplaced decimal or something. it's supposed to increase your hp based on stamina but gives the maximum bonus with 5.
I have defeated the brotherlord and restored honor to the shogun nation.
>>557749583There aren't nearly enough guardian spirits in general it's genuinely a flaw of the game compared to 1 and 2
anyone found lvl 170 gloves and can remember where?
>>557733440The style transmog segregation is such a headscratcher like why even?
>>557623570I have spent around half of my time in the game doing co-op. I have found there are 3 kinds of people who summon.>The KidLiterally just a child who probably shouldn't be playing this game. Easy to distinguish. Walks slowly around. Reacts to nothing. Never checks corners. Always stays in a single stance and does only quick OR heavy attacks, never both. Will always die to something dumb like standing in lava. If you get summoned for a boss, they will stand in the back of the arena watching and not helping.>The ADHDGo fast eat ass. Always Ninja mode. Tonfa or 2kat. Never grabs a single collectable. Will instantly tunnel vision on the first enemy they see. Not to be confused with someone farming the mission who is actually compentent. These are perma-CoD brained people. They WILL die to the boss because they keep eating the red glow attacks because of some long combo string animation they commit to or because they haven't opened the Equipment tab within the last 2 days. >The NewbieSimilar to The Kid, but checks every single corner, playing through levels very slowly. They will try to find every collectable, but will blindly walk past them. They are always lost and will try to follow you if you ever get too far. They will use every bloody grave they see. Tries to Ki-Pulse but forgets to during stressful situations. They clearly have no idea what they are doing, but are trying their best.
>>557753047https://www.nexusmods.com/nioh3/mods/50
>>557753583Not as good when mods are client side and your coop partners only see whatever messed up fashion you have officially
>>557752827There aren't nearly enough most things. Rushed game.
>>557753863according to the comments, other people see the proper armor since its not replacing anything, also kinda funny that its only a single line in an ini file separating the transmog so more than likely they'll patch this in soon
>>557753868Antiquity era was done so fucking dirty
>>557754515>don't even unlock himiko as a transmogfucking tragic
Brother's demons are by far the coolest demon designs in the entire series and it's not even close, how the fuck can you even create something like this, it feels like it came from a fever dream which fits their narrative purpose i guess.
>>557754515It should been the first region after timeskip
>>557755397If it was for me, i would ditch Heian entirely and focus on antiquity instead of it. Sengoku and Bakumatsu have a ton of content but Heian is nearly twice as small.
>>557754515Splitting Yayoi and Bakumatsu periods as only sections in a game was a mistake. They're both worthy of their own Nioh games (RotR doesn't count).
>>557692561I think the Tokugawa fish man in Bakutetsu is a guaranteed drop the first time. Haven't fought him again to check
So I completed NG+ and finally got a yasakani, so it's time to finish the build. I want 7piece benzaiten (the final bonus is super nice when spamming water sword on 2kat), but what do I aim for as the 5 piece (straight up samurai, no focus on ninja, onmyo projectiles etc)?I'm currently considering:Grace of Vaisravana (Life ok, gold earned poor, damage taken nice, martial art damage nice)Grace of Hotei (here I'll probably go for 4 or 3 and add something else as I don't evade, but stackable auto recovery, auto recovery on deflect and increased effect duration could be nice)The God of War Looks Down (projectile damage taken reduction, damage taken reduction, equipment weight damage bonus, damage taken reduction, decreased elemental damage, all nice).Anything else that's nice that I might have missed?
>>557753863>>557754480yeah i hope they patch it, or else they're cunts
>>557757584check out 5p General of Ruin if you're a deflect enjoyer, which i assume you are since you're going 7p benzaiten
>>557751335The dlcs usually raise the level cap.It was 750 in 2 by the time its dlcs were all out. They'll probably raise it by 250 in 3 with each dlc, eventually back up to 750 again. Plus they had a post max level leveling system in 2 as well. They'll probably do something like that again too, but maybe even more in depth.
is the skill cap 31?
>>557757861That'd be nice, but it's only medium armor :(
>>557758145don't need heavy armor if you deflect everything anon, less stamina needed too
>>557758374I deflect more occasionally. I trade often.
>>557758145I have really high stamina and a yasakani magatama. Plus I'm using the 1kat. So I only have to wear 3 pieces of the armor and I get the 5 piece bonus. And I'm maintaining A agility.
>>557758465ah ye then i guess it's not the best for you
>>557758953What's your toughness?
>>557758953VERGIL???
>>557759129
>>557714948>Thorned Gaki is deceptively goodIn what way? They don't seem to do a ton of damage.
Well this was depressing as fuck. I have to say, this version of Bakumatsu is superb, i have no idea why they decided to waste a full game on Ronin when they could just do an entire ass Nioh in this setting.
>>557759740>BThat's not for my playstyle. I need my hyperarmor.
>>557759768i thought the Bakumatsu setting in Ronin was cooler
>>557760178Same. I hated the endless ruin of bakumatsu in Nioh 3.
>>557760308I kind of hate the endless ruin of everything in general in Nioh. I mean yeah okay there has to be a reason why there's yokai everywhere, but does it have to be so goddamn depressing
>>557760614Yeah, the first region kept that more in balance, but after that it was ruins and ruins and ruins.
>>557757861where do you get outfit mods?
>>557760708And there's so little variety in yokai too. Would it kill them to swap out a few gaki and jailer oni for something else
>>557752827>There aren't nearly enough guardian spirits in general it's genuinely a flaw of the game compared to 1 and 2They're saving it for DLC.
>>557758465Played 80% of samurai as heavyI'm too block and safe to take the risks and always felt like i was running on 25% kiFinally lv150ish making the switch to medium and the extra ki is way too nice
What do you do with non-ethereal gear on ng+? Sell? Disassemble?
>>557762103>>557762103>>557762103>>557762103
>>557760308That's kinda the point. It's a future you want to avoid because your bro in his infinite wisdom raped the country for 250 years.
>>557761945I main the heart constitution and stamina (or whatever the first three stats were), so I've got plenty of ki. Maxed Benzaiten with stacks means I can water sword for like 10 seconds (it's almost ki free, until I run out of stacks).
>>557762121Both are importantIt takes like 2000 salvages to have an acceptable amount of resources and essences to reforge and remodel 1 set of armorIt takes as much money and soul extracts to max out a single piece of gear
>>557760842https://www.nexusmods.com/games/nioh3/mods?sort=createdAt
>>557762443I dunno, if I beat the game heavy I think it was intendedI just have to sacrifice long and frequent combos, which I kind of enjoyHeavy is just short and sweet, but takes full advantage of smaller windows I think
>>557727578Aren't DLC usually scaled based off NG+ difficulty in Nioh?
>>557709370if you jump on their head after doing the gesture they freeze, disappear, then come back and drop stuff lol
