i need a cestus god to share gameplay
2kat.
>>558064474Are you having trouble using them?
>>558065141i want to see what others are doing (mainly in between beyond infinity)
its the korean mmo system
>>558064146I'm fine with 1cat as long as it's that one
>>558065318I usually do a combo like this in mid stance: attack, fracture foe (lightning), archer's impact, reckless charge+dreadslayer. During reckless charge or dreadslayer, I'll pre-switch to high or low to continue my combo. With high I'll often continue it with spinning kicks/kick cycle and then eventually into beyond infinity if I still have ki and with low I'll go into heavenly strike+dancing kick. Another chain that can be fun is to start with Flying Fist Fire and then go into strike+dancing kick. Just lots of pre-switching so I can combo together different moves from different stances. High stance kick combos of spinning kicks+kick cycle+frost moon is also fun. You should be using Battering Ram a lot for ki damage. Fracture Foe is pretty decent ki damage as well. Fists of Reckoning is good during AP if you don't want to use beyond infinity. Naturally, you need AP and the ki reducing mystic art to get these long fancy chains going or else you'll run out of ki. I don't like Limitless but I'm sure there's tanky grug builds for it. I just have Kick Cycle Water in high and the the normal one in low and Archer's Impact in mid.
>>558066670ah, word. not too unlike what i'm doing. is wolf claw worthless? i haven't made much use of low stance / flying fist fire, so ill play around with that more. i'd probably try to use it more if i were using gong or something
Do samurai yasakani exist in post-NG NG?What's the highest Untouched Onmyo Magic you've seen/managed/is possible?
So Hatchets are fun after changes to them compared to previous game, I like Ninja sword even though it's extremely simplistic. I don't like tonfa, they were more fun in 1 and 2. Any other fun Ninja weapons? Did any of the Samurai weapons get anything fun and cool compared to earlier games? 1Kat and 2Kat both seem fine to me so far.
>>558068346yasakanis are divine so NG+ only.
>>558069062I've gotten four in NG A Sister End but they've all been ninja.
>>558068191Wolf claw is alright, I have it set in mid stance and sometimes combo into it but not as often. You're supposed to use it to restore spirit, that's it really. Sometimes I'll also combo Defensive Drop after the retreating part of Flying Fist and then use the forward moving version of Sunrise to close the gap again and attack. Flying Fist can actually be used in AP combos because the normal attack before it is fast enough to use it before the gauge runs out. I didn't use it much before getting the fire version though. The mid/high combos are probably stronger but it's fun to mess around with low stance sometimes. I guess you can put Heavenly Strike anywhere but I like it in low stance.
>>558069168do you have the ninja yasakani on your sudama drop chance increase? if you you are weighting your drops towards ninja.
>>558069289Nope. Actually I haven't seen a yasakani drop at all since I added it. Got four in about 45 minutes, haven't seen a single one since in hours.
it would be amusing if TN would ever bother tracking the detail of your first answer in NG on how you deal with kunimitsulike killing him off some one else reports to you like hanzo or yagyu depending on if you used either nin/sam lessor if kunimitsu does the same but in your less used form
>cant raise droprate of Kintaro's hammerREEEEEEE
>turning in every scampus furball doesnt give you the scampus outfit from the old gamesshit game
>>558068823Hatchets were always fun but yeah, their ninja'd version is great in 3. The other ninja weapon I use is 2kat which is fun, it has lots of air combo potential. You can turn those giant Gaki chiefs into a joke with ninja 2kat and the tengu girl by just never touching the ground.Sam 2kat got treated well with frost moon attacks, improved Raijin/Raijin Lightning, Twin Dragons Water, and Earthrender. God of Wind and SotC are both still good along with their transformed versions.
>>558069925>demanding cat ears like a WHORE
>>558070220i wanted the fat cat hat actually
>>558070324
Killing that statue guy in his transformation animation when he activates his Yokai Domain doesn't spawn an "end mission" thing. It's happened to me a few times now
>>558070567wait wtf how do you get it??
>four ninja yasakani>'yo you should always use the sudama blessing for max chance'>farm for hours and get no yasakani at all>remove blessing>do two runs and gwt samurai yasakanilmao what the fuck ever game.
>>558069864don't you get a different smithing text or something
>>558070643ok nevermind apparently i had to go back to heirs journey rift to turn in my last furball since it wouldnt let me on ng+
>>558069446huh, just some bad luck i guess.
Okay so there's got to be a way to reforge better effects than +3 and shit right?
>>558064146>"Come to me, virgin"
>>558071952>AI gives mermaid legs>AI gives nureonna arms
>>558072110AI didn't give it arms, but gave it shoulders.
is the deflect ki damage good enough to make a delfect spam build viable?
>>558071891rumao
Woooow how was I supposed to know
>>558072879The General of Ruin ki damage?
I kinda miss the grace set in nioh 1 that increase the damage of normal attacks
>>558073257yeah i tried farming to see for myself but after an hour he refused to drop the smithing set or even enough different pieces for me to make it
>>558073192yeah this shit's a total gotcha
>>558073192honestly i wouldve expected it to be interrupted by winding him and probably wouldve done the exact same thing
>>558073192Classic
>>558073192That attack can also come out when he's on one knee waiting for the finisher
>decided to do the intro for NG+ for immersionOh my god this is so awful.
>>558073363I've got 5/6 of the set, do you have any enemies you want me to test it on?
>>558073608what do you mean
>>558073824i just wanna know if it does decent enough ki damage that you can wind bosses off of it or if its just a tiny little bonus chip on your deflect so any boss if you can i guess
>>558074116They disable all of your shit again and give you level 1 weapons against NG+ scaled enemies.>picked odachi>105 toughness>can't leave the missionFucking end me.
>>558073192Why do none of you niggas use Quick-Change?
>>558074432holy fuck
>>558074502it lasts like a quarter of the time it did in 2 and it takes up a ninjutsu slot
>>558074124Doesn't seem great to me but I'm a retarded Axe player
>>558071952holy shit where did you get this?
>>558074871Some anon made it.
>>558074749not completely terrible i guess but still kinda mehthanks bro
>still haven't seen a single 170 chest, helm or waist
>>558075238fuck, i meant chest, gloves or waist, i've had plenty of helms
can you interrupt yoshinobu's (fishman) grab? it seems impossible to dodge sometimes
>>558075238i wonder if they're going to fix shit like this in a patch or are we just playing early access until 1 or both dlc are out
>>558075526yeah i don't understand it, i still have side quests i haven't finished in ng+, but i kinda wanted to gear up and then do all that shit, but gonna try clearing everything now out of desperation, see if i can somehow "unlock" the remaining 170 drops
I just beat Nuritoboke or whatever first try but I sincerely could not tell you anything it did beside cast some spells.
On the one hand, this is the first game I've actually beaten in like five years.On the other, I barely got through it and only because of co-op.I still just can't believe how incredibly shitty games have gotten. This shit is so much worse than Nioh 2.
>>558075664also what about the one's with the rare/star modifiers? i dont think ive seen one in 100 hours
>>558075438almost all grabs are avoidable by dodging into the boss
>>558076172I agree that it's worse.. only because it's painfully, PAINFULLY easy as fuck.What exactly do you think is worse than 2 and how are you so shit at the game that you needed coop to beat it? Nevermind beat an actually serious game like Nioh 2?
limitless tough is so fun
>>558076907>What exactly do you think is worse than 2Just about everything, but especially the gear bifurcation and engine. The game's bones just are not good. It's also somehow smaller than both previous games.>blah blah blah words words wordsCan't see shit, only play odachi, too bored and unmotivated to practice the bosses. Post webms of you rolling bosses if itxs so easy.
>>558077290he won't share clips because he doesnt know how to play if the boss isnt moving in slow motion and/or permanently out of ki
are there any ways to increase my equipment limit besides just having 70 stamina?
>>558077506theres a skill that gives +10 weight
>>558075031It seems to be percentage based so this might be better than it looks on some bosses especially if you stack those "on deflect" things to buff yourself.
>>558076172>how incredibly shitty games have gottenlike since 2007? because they aren't too bad if we're talking 5 years. or are you on console or something
>>558077506The Ii clan will just give you an A rank in agility if you wear the crimson armor
>>558077506>>558077662it's 10%, not that great
W-Why does Odachi mid-stance bounce now? Will they patch it?
>>558077290blablabla, so just skill issues and blaming the game, got it. Though yes I odachi got fucked up a bit this time.Not tranny enough to record myself and I have nothing to prove to you.
>>558073192Hahahaha! You should've known!That attack one-shot me the first time I saw it as well.
>>558077984it's especially dumb because even axe low doesnt...
>>558077984Bounce? Do you mean rebound off humans blocking? If so, that's normal. High stance normal attacks are the only ones that don't rebound.
>abyss in nioh 1>gear too low to beat the boss>don't want to lose my defiled items>no one does co-op anymore>it's only floor 14owari da...
>>558077914>like since 2007?Maybe closer to '11 or '12. Games have definitely been on a downward slope since at least then. A couple gems have come out since maybe but only a couple.I think the last game I beat was Elden Ring, and I didn't even really like that.
>>558078178Did you play Nioh 2? Odachi in fact, did not rebound off human block in middle stance.
>>558078408>Did you play Nioh 2?Yes, a very long time ago.
>>558077476>uses [intended game mechanic]>game is now easyDo you see how that's a problem? It's the devs' job to balance the game, not me.Sloth was nerfed to hell btw (which is good), this isn't the gotcha you think it is. I haven't found a way to starve them out of ki and I don't think I need it but, isn't it very curious how you're aware of this only to project those cheese strats into me.
>>558078356sounds iike you've fried your dopamine receptors
>>558078547shall i teach you how to play and engage with videogames? retard
>>558078596I think games just suck fucking ass now because they're more worried about pleasing trannies and minorities at the most barebones cost possible than actually being good.
>>558078881ive been having fun w/ all sorts of indie/ish stuff on pc. there is an entire world of gaming out there that isnt influenced by shareholders
so you're crying because the only good coomer option for fashion in Nioh 3 is walking around naked? do i understand correctly?
>>558079241Yeah, Wicked Seed was honestly the best game I played that came out this (well, last) year. Too janky to really be invested in finishing it, but it was fun.>>558079276It would at least make the other shitty aspects easier to ignore.>play this inferior game with nice visuals>play this inferior game with shitty censored visuals because feminists can't handle visible hip bones or photomode in hot springsI know which option sounds better to me.
I dont get your guys' gear autism. You're just crippling your feature NG+ expreiences when the DLC come out by making shit way too easy and this game is already imbalanced with how little health enemies have
>>558064146We need to update the OP to say "Nioh 3 has been out" instead
>>558079701done with the game, still want to play the game, so we set new goals, like full 170 gear and shit, it's not that complicated
Didn't Cestuses have a parry that worked on Yokai in Nioh2? Do they have one in 3?
>>558080458duh
am i a bad human bean for finding this shit funny as hell?
>>558080547Got it, opportunist works against basically everything.
This stack is so fucked up... I hope they rebalance some of this shit
>>558080592You're a bad human for being in the Bakumatsu part of the game and still having the tutorial text option on.
>>558081124>>558081124they usually do, but right now they're trying to fix major bugs
>>558081124Why is it so overpowered? I've used all of them. They're okay. Not amazing. I don't see why they're overpowered.
I'm playing Nioh 2, one question I have is should I be doing every single quest for the loot? Because right now I'm ahead of the recommended level for every available quest, should I worry about getting too overpowered and start skipping sides?
How do you get the key for the chest in the hub?
>>558084319Give enough poop to the poop guy
>>558084397Huh, neat. Thanks
Hold up. I was doing terribly with Sam weapons and just played Ninja 1kat for the longest time, but in Map 2 i decided to pick up 2Kat since it was getting stale, and it was so simple it eased me into other Samurai weapons and now It's not looking that bleak.
>>558084182You could skip side quests by region and complete them on NG+ cycles, don't do it on an individual basis because they often are part of a quest chain that unlocks a key item or guardian spirit. You kind of want to minimize how many side quests you have to repeat, so you could sweep them all up in a single playthrough or work on it in chunks.
>>558084585I had a similar experience, but with samurai 1kat. Guess you've just gotta find the season that resonates with you for it to click.
>>558084994>seasonWeapon. Damn autocorrect.
>>558084585I wish 2kat didn't have so many skills locked onto single button inputs. Or have like 309483847032470 parries for some stupid fucking reason. Half the time on 2kat I feel like I'm only ever using two or three skills.I don't know who balanced the weapons this time around, but they need to get their shit pushed in.
Anyone who played Kusarigama in Nioh2, how did it fare in swap to Ninja weapon? I never played it in earlier game so I have no comparison.
>>558084014poison ticks for nearly 1k on bossesbig bomb hits 2~5k but sometiems like 10k+ (and often causes burning)lightning calamity hits 3k+ and can easily keep up its debuffyou get all this for dodging at attack, and then fire it from rangenot only do these overshadow most of the other ninjitsu, but onmyo is fucking moggedif you are lowkey about to tell me about your hyperarmor axe shit ill pound your face in
>>558085334Feels heavily nerfed, a lot of flexibility lost because you can't stance switch anymore. Plus it just does terrible damage now.
>>558085334it's just as shit
>>558085334More like KUSOrigama>>558085531Actually I turned my Ninja build into an Onmyo build and Onmyo is insanely overpowered. I can't imagine it being as braindead as Onmyo. Killing NG+ bosses in seconds with zero skill and doing nothing but spamming spells.
>>558085679>More like KUSOrigamaFeels good to see someone else has picked up my autoreply
>>558085861I thought it was hilarious, anon. So did my brother.
>>558079701I actually saved my NG completion set for future use in DLCs, actually considering experiencing it in Heir's Journey for a more balanced experience because it could either be that my build ends up too strong, or my NG+ handicaps become a bit too much to assess the actual difficulty of things.
survey up
>>558085679>I can't imagine it being as braindead as Onmyoi believe it, but the difference is it's low commitment... you can run it alongside what you're doing-- im not leaning into it that hard, but im more or less doing the same
>>558079701It is because you don't have autism. Testing builds and doing interactions like this is what makes Nioh my Heaven on Earth. It's a sandbox that fights back and I wish to see how all stack on it (even more meh powered builds). Mostly, my Lilac build is actually ready for reforging but I'm genuinely afraid for my soul to touch it. When I get Shinsengumi Five to be on my battle scrolls.>>558086134Care to link it?Got some notes for anyone looking at Ninja 2kat and Last Ninja>Last NinjaYou can't get A agility on it even if you 4 piece with a light helmet and max weight.It + Inari is better than Inari + Kusarigama master depending on two things, how often are you doing back-attack damage and how expensive are your ninpo. Pairing with Kusa does more damage 1% from behind but Last Ninja has 5% more damage when going for front hits. Now of course Last Ninja could go hard if you find a different 6 piece grace that you prefer, maybe Hachiman scales well (Idk) or tinker a poison splash with Kuzuryu>Abscession ComboYour way of guard breaking 2 kat when rev farming, can spam them on blocking opponents and you'll win the ki war most of the time, just need a little clip into the full send.
>>558064529I read it scat
>>558086834>Abscession Combothis is such a fucked up skill. ninja weapon breaking ki better than most samurai weapons
>>558064146Is this real?
>>558079701I like breaking the game in dumb ways that I like to play.It's a creative expression to get away with your own personal broken build.
>>558085679What's your onmyo setup? Mine barely seems to tickle things
>>558081124https://files.catbox.moe/6lffxi.mp4
>>558085334Feels fine. Neither buffed nor nerfed. I unironically think I like it more now as old kusarigama felt at odds with the stance mechanic already.
>>558087736catbox is down lil bro
>>558087858works on my pc
>>558087858No it's not? I could see it just fine. Also dear god that is filthy
>>558084871I see, I think it's worth doing them, if that's the case. Thanks!
>>558087705https://streamable.com/pnk4c3ng+ grannyTake skills in General for Untouched Onmyo and faster casting OnmyoThen in Ninja take every skill related to Elemental Damage and Onmyo Spells.3pc Shinto priest5pc flying katoAfter that it's up to you, I'd suggest Jurojin.Carnage Talisman and Fist Talisman (yes, fist talisman) work on Onmyo, though Fist Talisman is very clearly not intended. I tend to not use either though.This is only with 40 magic though because this is actually an axe build and I only use ninja for silly magic spamming.
>>558088158about as good as water sword seems fair
>>558088286My brother meta gamed it a lot more, his spells hit for three times harder than mine. But that shit is either not intended or.. well, it just looks boring.I can't imagine fist talisman is meant to work with Onmyo. Nor unarmed damage buffs. Plus, he also had 99 Magic rather than my 40 and also mixes in Jurojin which I don't have.
>>558087736>>558088158>ninja is 0 skill retard grug bullshitI really hope they nerf all this bullshit. I hate seeing this zero skill slop.
>>558088158How high is your Untouched Onmyo? How high can it get, if you know?
>>558088880Ninjutsu and spells were broken 0 skill slop in previous games too. It's the optional easy mode for shitters.
>>558088880most of the other ninjitsu don't feel overpowered, so i do think these are overtuned and should be nerfed (if they nerf anything). they need to tweak so much shit in this game man
>>558088158>>558087736This basically looks like different game compared to what I play. I'll stick to hitting things with the sharp edge or pointy top.
>>558089538i mostly play samurai i was just demoing/crying about it
>>55808889546%. I think I can hit 50%, not sure. I haven't really tried to get harder since this set was made in seconds. Just crafted both sets of armor then put on the skills. No farming or anything else.I haven't even bothered looking at passives of summoning seals to see if I can get more there. But if there is no rerolling to be done on blue summoning seals that give untouched onmyo or no passives from summons that give it, then you probably can't get higher than 46%.
>>558087858Try a different browser, Firefox can be pretty fucky with that website sometimes
>>558091202Works with Vivaldi.

>>558091093Ah okay so it's just Jurojin + Ho-oh + that-one-general-skill? I'm sitting at 44% with Ho-oh at level 21, so I guess I'll start saving fragments.
>>558091731There is an untouched onmyo set on Ninja, but basically yeah. Super easy to do.
>>558091714Completely fucking useless questions
>>558091714>If you have any thoughts or comments about the difficulty level, please let us know. >100 characters maxGonna need way more characters than that.
>>558091714>>558092080Scroll down to "what would you like to see in future titles"It has 1500 characters. I used that to complain about Odachi.
>>558092395Eh, I just said more games like Nioh 2 with less censorship and not on RotR's dogshit engine.
PSA: Drop your highest + item and pick it up. Increase it by +1 and drop it all the way to +15. Makes all your upgrades cost less on the way to +15. Full upgrade from +1 to +15 costs like 1.2mil gold and 1100 blue dust after you do this. Do this NOW before they patch it. Thank me later
>>558092632What the fuck were they thinking with the engine, anyway? It's terrible. They even drastically reduced the amount of options in character creation, I can't make my dopey hapa character I've been playing through 2 with
>>558092798I have to assume it was some kind of shakeup by upper management. Fire all the legacy staff to bring in a new crew of SJWs to build a new engine for a fraction of the cost.
>>558092971Christ man, not everything is your political boogeyman, it could just be moronic decisions
>>558092712After you create a +15 item and drop it, it will make ALL upgrades cost less. Only have to do the +1 upgrade and drop and pick up shuffle once. Cheers
>>558093073Yeah the censorship was just a coincidence.
>>558093125Censor this *shits on your face*
>>558093394TN's already shitting on our faces with this shitty game.
>>558092632>Eh, I just said more games like Nioh 2 with less censorship and not on RotR's dogshit engineYou know, they will take one look at your post and discard it due to your ignorance, because RotR engine is the same fucking engine as the Nioh games.
>>558093459Then speak with your wallet, don't buy the game and go play something else. Be an adult.
>>558093523I could make my hapa in RotR, not possible in Nioh 3, the lip and eye options to do it are missing
>>558093523Whatever man. I don't know how to explain the difference between Nioh and 2's visual style, CaC, and buglessness compared to RotR and 3 any other way.
this is the hardest these games have ever outplayed me I gotta admit
>>558093827That's the same bug that persists across the Nioh games. Why don't you upload that clip to catbox and send it through feedback for Team Ninja to fix.
They should remove CaC slop in future games. Waste of dev time.
>>558093808>>558094082>CaC?
>>558094164Create a Character dummy.
>>558094082I literally won't buy games without them. >>558094164Create-a-Character.
>>558094082Based. I haven't changed default appearance in any Nioh game
>>558094489>>558094509When did that become a thing instead of just character creation?
>>558094595"CaC" is easier to phonepost.
>>558094658"CC" is even easier.
>>558094509William is better than any tranny you'd make if we're being honest though.
>>558094082nah i prefer CaC
Hiruko is one of the worst designed bosses I have ever seen in a computer game and anyone saying otherwise needs to cope.> pointless first phase to pad the fight, only here because elden ring did similar and to make the gae Le Hard> awful hitboxes> inconsistent attack patterns, for example, Attack 1 consists of slash, slash. He'll do Attack 1 again, slash, slash. He'll do Attack 1 again, but this time it's slash, slash, then the ice combo that can stunlock you.If I have to explain to any of you why this latter point is bad game design, you don't understand what makes a good action game. You cannot have the attack startup be consistent but have the combo after random. It doesn't work.Elden Ring did similar and that game is shite.I don't expect a reasonable rrsponse from any of you since you're all still in the honeymoon period. There isn't enough criticism toward this game and it boils down to the simple fact that you, along with those on r/nioh, don't understand what makes a good action game. In your minds it's-> is it le fast paced and le "hard"? Then it's le good action game!It doesn't work like that. You are all either midwits or underage.Sekiro is better..
>>558095138>sekiroIt's 2026 unc. It's time to let go.
>>558095138i liked the hiruko fights, even like kunimatsu even though the cunt killed me a million times
>>558094847I'll take my Nioh 2 tranny over William.I did prefer his story to Hiddy's, though.
>>558095323I just want a real Tenchu game...
>>558095438The chiropractor guy from 3 had the best takedown animations.
>>558095138>I don't expect a reasonable rrsponse from any of you since you're all still in the honeymoon period.There's no such thing as a honeymoon period for these lot here because they're tryhards. It's their identity, so git gud, or be out skilled.
>>558091714Thank you samurai.>questionsAwesome TN/KT, awesome questions, wished I could've given actual feedback to explain my fucking response.>but the 1.5k character postStarted by sucking their dick because honestly TN is a seal of quality for me, even their worst games I've played (Wo Long) I'd still firmly hold is good, mostly didn't finish (as in all the NG+ cycles) from not fully clicking with me and computer troubles at the time. Then I put a list of tweaks I'd like to see + a Yoshitsune bug report.
>>558096179I liked Ayame's one where she lands on the guy's shoulders and twists his head around 180° with her thighs
>>558096917That's how I want to die
>>558091714You guys better put pc performance as a priority. It's criminal how heavy their games are for their level of visual fidelity.Having to lock ROTR and Nioh 3 to 60 because VRR doesn't work with the engine is retarded.
Are yokais demons or just spirits?
Hachiman info... Warning it's bleak>6 pc bonusIt isn't bonus damage based on your bow's attack number but rather bonus damage based on the affix, Bow Damage. >How much does it scale? Well having both the 7 pc + 3 pc bonus of Great Hachiyo, a total of 43% extra bow damage, gave about 8% (or 25% percent of your bonus bow damage). Hachiyo gives you 8% as a 5pc bonus.
Finally beat the gameCombat is overall still fun and I really love the ki pulse attacks, but ninja is meh and samurai losing half of its weapons for it is lame. Level design outside the crucibles and some battle scrolls was really weak, enemy density is pathetic. I was hoping it would ramp up as the game went on but I feel like it was even worse in Bakumatsu than before (worst of the 3 open areas imo), I heard it's better in NG+ and I hope so... Bosses seemed kinda decent but it's hard to say since they were all WAY undertuned and easy. Fish shogun and the Kunimatsu demons were the only ones that felt like challenges.Game is pretty good but I think it is disappointing and a downgrade from 2, and open field was indeed a mistake even if it doesn't ruin the game or anything that extreme. Thanks for reading my blog.
Is getting 20 in every stat still the GAMER build?
>>558098368Cons first step down in stats is 18 or 19, heart or stamina is like 15 or 16. 20 is a good place to put them, and you can always respec for free at the shrine.
love popping umi-bozu with guardian spirit arts
>having to wear double Yasakani just because they share the same graceThat is funny, only missing some pants to finish off the build idea.
WHERE IS THE THIRD SWORD IN HEIAN
>>558097931Both.Demon = Malevolent beingSpirit = Life force
any spear mans use tornado? it seems BAD
>>558099339Inside the crucible.
does nobunigga make an appearance ?
>>558100346even though this is a time traveling adventure it's missing wirriam and hiddy
>>558099339In the crucible, Shunka Gate statue, inside the building up there.
why isn't this 4/4? am I retarded?
>>558100762Probably missing a sidequest.
>>558100762Side quests.
>>558100882>>558100889Thanks. I guess the doctor's quest counts for that area even though she already left
>>558093125same game?
>>558101394Those are some very low hanging pants.
I feel like bosses are more obnoxious in this game. Ninja evade was a mistake.
>>558101471haha what if they slipped off when she was attacking haha
>>558102143just deflect bro
>>558102713>just deflect the 720 degree tracking grab bro

>just got to clan selection and picked todoholy shit
>>558101236>>558101394I'm going to get isekai'd and have a yokai wife.

I don't know if I've ever seen such a pathetic enemy in an action game as the horse spear guys...
>>558105232im just using the systems the game gives me. oh i didnt beat it? maybe they shouldnt have made it.

>>558105558they can patch it if they like big nig
Having never even unlocked let alone used the deflect skill, I can say that I, unlike anyone else here, have actually beaten the game :)
>>558105680sure thing ninja boy
>>558105680nice bait poser but you literally need to unlock deflect to unlock flux and the new frost moon skills.
Considering 70% of the playerbase is using Todo, I'm pretty sure the entire Nioh "fandom" didn't beat the game.
>>558105873i guess he didnt use flux or frost moon either then
>>558105873You literally don't...
>>558102936evading grab is about timing not position in my experience
there needs to be more high stance odachi moves. high stance is the patrician stance.
>>558106032okay go ahead and show me the skill tree where you somehow get around buying deflect and have flux and frost moon. I'll wait
...
>>558106256I kneel
>>558105906Nioh fans being hardcore action gamers is the biggest meme in the community. Just check any Nioh "builds" and it's all some cheese 1 shot slop that requires close to 0 player interaction.Souls games unironically have more sweaty masogamers than nu-Team Ninja games.
>>558106303you just know this nigga was running rivers of blood and moonveil
>>558106420Try again.
>>558106546Str builds are unironically the biggest easymode in all the Soulsbornes
>>558106303souls "vets" are this retarded
Are we sure Carnage Talisman works with onmyo? Doesn't seem like it, and RAW it seems unintended if it does.
What's the chance of a future patch breaking my game if I use the Unlimited Transmog mod?I hate that I can't use Sohaya as a Samurai. It's all I wore in Nioh 2. And it irritates me to no end I can't use it anymore unless I play cheesy Ninja slop.
>>558106736Cope. Summons and cheesing is frowned upon in the SoulsCHAD community while Nioh fags sit there doing their 30 sec buffcuck ritual just to one shot their "boss" with auto aim spells (repeat 100x).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p2VX76whQs
>>558106303>Tryhard nigger post
>>558106986>30 sec buffcuck ritualyeah, dont see that in souls games <:^)
>>558106986You're baiting, right? You seriously can't be this dense.
>>558101394
so out of all the unique main stats for all protagsWilliam has SpiritHiddy has Courage Takechiyo has Intellect
>>558107021>saying this in a Team Ninja threadI miss Itagaki
>>558106908>breaking my gamepretty lowif the mod stops working it will probably just make you naked or default armor
>>558106908It only affects the appearance of your armour, so I'd say pretty low.
>>558107187The funny thing is that William is by far better at Onmyo buffing which is Intellect's gimmick.
>>558107353Doesn't matter if you're a Fromsoft or Team Ninja tryhard nigger, both deserve ridicule for endlessly spamming boring e-peen points.
Is using double Hatchet's fine with Cestus? Aren't the stats going to be too spread out?
>>558108402Pretty early in the game you get the ability to remodel weapons to scale off of whatever 3 stats you want.
>>558108402this is nioh dog stats don't matter
>>558079276NTA but fashion in general is weak as fuck coming from RotR and I much prefer Nioh 3 as a game still
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/1raend3/it_is_slightly_harder_to_deflect_with_dual_swords/>Cestus and Dual Swords has fewer frames to pull off deflection and deflection expert doesn't affect it at alli'm playing the game on hard mode
>>558109079Between the odachi, sword and now this WTF actually happened in the balancing process of weapons
>>558107416>>558107502Thanks, anons. I'll get it then. Finally I can be Sohaya Samurai again.
>>558109079>>558109463>i literally only use odachi and 2kat >i wore all the shit that got ninja'dIt's like TN made this game as a personal "fuck you" to me.
>>558109463first release? nioh always has had a buggy release balance wise..
>sprint somewhere>enemies and geometry dont even load
>>558109463>SwordWhat happened with Sword? I haven't used it.Odachi definitely felt awful to use through most of the game until I finally gave up and switched to Axe.
You can't deflect as ninja, right? If you try to hit the deflect window, you just end up blocking?
>>558109463Japs don't know how to code and their games are nearly always held together by duct tape and belief.
>>558109670Sword is just braindead OP as fuck
cestus are for nerds
>>558109079Why are they so intent on making weapons feel shit to use;>Dual Swords has like 10 thousand different fucking parries taking up most of your skill slots>Odachi has absurd ki usage and little to no ki damage plus a whole host of other issuesIt's so fucking weird.
>>558109739only if you abuse severing spin
>>558109739You haven't been using axe if you think katana is unga bunga OP.
>>558109672some ninja weapons have "deflect" style abilities like kusarigama
>>558109818I wanted to like Cestus. But it's just Martial Arts Bruce Lee shit.I saw how bulky those fists were and thought you'd be some Louis Armstrong shit of pure muscle, throwing huge haymakers. I thought it was the "dual wield" variant for STR weapons like how Axe and Odachi are kinda like fast and slow variants of one another. (Or were in previous games)
what if the first DLC is just about iemitsu's historical "death" and (you) waking up in JIGOKU which acts like a valhalla and your divine mirror as a hub in which it turns the game into nightrein lite which is filled with the 6 months of worth porting as much assets in the old games with new tricks, as with the story of iemitsu figuring out where (you) went wrong which leads in to DLC 2 the christian rebellion
>>558109935Yeah but like, L1 deflect.
Does anyone have any good male character codes for Nioh 2 on pc?

wtf I can’t beat the first boss and it’s seriously pissing me off
Got a question and advice>Does Senji Toyo stop being a fucking goblin?I finished Shogun's Journey and its still 5 mil to raise + levels, did I miss a sidequest or is it stuck like this? (without doing the drop shenanigans)>Alt method to get moneyIf there's a clan who has a special offer for a specific weapon/item for money for the week (Kakizaki with Kamuis), than you can set the item out for your blessing to get some money. Sold a couple dozen of Kamuis and got almost 4 million out of it, and that was just casually going through the last mission, not hours in a hallway. Will require someone on the thread though to notify people of a money offer clan for you to start donating as you can preview a clan's special/daily offers.
>>558111473Dodge left(your left). Try to deflect the big(but not red or grabs) swings. Punish the big red attacks. Play it safe, don't get too greedy, you don't have nearly enough tools to get away with it yet.
>>558111737I think Toyotomi chads always have money as their reward for donating.
>>558111737There is a cheesy way to lower the + level price.Grab your higher plus level item.Drop it on the ground.Pick it up.Upgrade it by +1. Drop and pick it up.Repeat until +15.It works because the price and drops are scaled off the highest + tier you picked up.
farming scion of the gods has corrupted all my stats
>monster mats are only used for forging usables now
>>558111894Good to know as I did have them eyed on, tank build was likely wanting it (hoping to avoid Kato + Toyotomi but wait and see). Just need to farm out 40k more Glory to get my ki damage situated.>>558111908I was hoping to not involve>scaled off the highest + tier you picked up.So you mean doing this fixes the JCAT ass pricing for all items? The highest I've seen is +5, could try level sync at level 230 but I doubt that'll cause +15s to drop. Fucking hell I miss Nioh1/2 soul matching.
>>558112260>So you mean doing this fixes the JCAT ass pricing for all items?Yes.
>>558112024i love being able to craft 3 poison smoke bombs after 200 hours of playing
anyone here watch shogun? wondering if theres any more shows/movie/anime that take place during sengoku/early edo
>>558113871not a lot, japan wants to avoid that controversy, which makes me wonder if we're REALLY REALLY going there in nioh 3 DLC
>>558088880this is a choose your own difficulty game. the breadth of viable options is a STRENGTH. it's not competitive. the only thing that needs a nerf is shit like otakemaru soul core on release which was killing bosses in like 3 seconds (0.5 seconds in multiplayer)
>>558113974not that anon, but whats the controversy? I am always curious about other countries sensibilities.
>>558114245the mass murder of christians rebels (a lot of jap converts) and the closing of japan its like avoiding ww2 crimes
>>558113871i hear they added a lot of sex for no reason. the book is on my backlog
>>558114296They have ceremonies to honor ww2 criminals.
>>558064146I hate how the game still sells endgame as DLC or how the base game is so gimped. These should be negative points in reviews, but people think it's “okay” to buy endgame. It's okay in Hades or other indie games for a fair price and support that lasts for like a decade. But in Nioh, the game only has 1 year of content and KT is already jumping to the next project.
>>558114981i think people are just conditioned to accept this shit at this point. I remember as a kid playing asuras wrath and the actual ending of the game being locked behind dlc.
>>558115149that's different though, that was story dlc, like the actual narrative ending being behind a paywall then. everybody complained about that incessantly then and the practice died in only a few years. also happened to prince of persia (2008) and a few other games
>>558114981>>558115149these aren't live service games retard
>>558115149One of the many reasons indies sell more is not just the price, but also because they run on almost anything. Indie devs go the extra mile to fix things, and they know the internet. Support and communication with the community goes a long way. What pisses me off about Nioh is that the OG Complete Edition physical media was exclusive to Japan (because “muh Westerners didn't like it”). Like, yeah, the 1+2 bundles are a great deal, cheap, and one of the few games that runs on PS4, and also the only physical media version of Nioh 2 Complete, but other than that, it's just bullshit to have done “everything” and have weapons and an entire game locked from you because you didn't buy DLCs that are more expensive than a game that is already expensive. And overall, there's a lack of support and communication. I really want to see them get BTFO by some random developer just because these big corporations are too greedy and shortsighted.
NiohLEGENDS, I got my blue yamabiko soul core. Now I'm in the Edo section right before the final boss gauntlet. NG+ has been OK, it would have been better if there were new onmyo and ninjutsu to be unlocked. The base combat is fun enough that I enjoy the game anyway, but I'm a little starved for content.
Is that screamy sand item worth using?
>>558115878My main issue is that I wish there was more instant-boss missions like in Nioh 1/2. I'd love to be able to plop and fight Yoritomo without doing his entire crucible, or Onmoraki as a solid Ninjia/onmyo test, or Hiruko/Kunimatsu as the end-all be-all BS test (enjoy the two but there has to be someone to stress test cheese), and so on. Boss gauntlets can be fun but shouldn't be the only thing you get at the end (Okita is fun, wish he wasn't behind 4 human bosses even if I have them on farm, same with Shingen even if I appreciate the yokai bosses beforehand).
are grace transfers in the base game? just wondering if i should bother holding onto good weapons with bad graces
>>558116272No. I'm still keeping weapons with Green affixes though. Hoping to transfer them in the DLC to something good, even if it's just within it's own rarity, it'll be quite nice.
>>558115735>big corpoTeam Ninja is firmly in the AA camp. "Big" if you compare them to 5 man indie teams but tiny compared to any AAA slopfactory.
What are some good builds to do with the current graces? They all seem kinda meh
>>558116827Inari is the best for damage, Vaisravana is more universal. The rest are meh for full 7pc builds.
>>558116827They're all pretty underpowered
>>558116827One of the best generalist samurai set ups currently available, assuming a Yasakani;>2pc kintaro (chest)>2pc warrior of the east (waist)>3pc Brave Demon (Off-hand Weapon and Helmet, unless using Katana or Cestus, then both weapons)>7pc grace of choice, best are vaisravana and inari (Gloves, Boots, Two Accessories, Bow, Main hand Weapon, unless above, then also helmet, best armor for grace is Yamatai, so set that in your sudama blessing)Personally I find Inari annoying, so I use Vaisravana.There is a bit of leeway to be had for different weapons. For instance, Axe might want more Kintaro while Cestus might want more Brave Demon.But I highly doubt you'll get another samurai set up with more damage than this and still have the same high as fuck defense.
>>558116720KT is huge and plays it safe, and being “AA” is just a strategy to underbudget projects and give developers more leeway. It's corporate talk. Like, look at Hades. The second one outsold the entire Nioh franchise, and even though Big Giant was formed by industry veterans, the game's budget was much smaller than every Nioh game. I've said this before, but I hope the creatives leave KT and do their own projects.
>>558117179>Big GiantAssume the naked dogeza at once
>>558117179>look at Hades.funny thing, that DID show up in the survey in terms of games "played" I still wouldnt be surprised if DLC1 hell rising IS the end game mode with story
>24k lumber chop on onyrokiI feel like I'm back in Nioh 1 again...
Not really a fan of all of this black and red shit.It's insanely generic and does nothing but hamper visual clarity.
>>558118278I loved it, and I love how it reminds me of Sentai and old anime.
>>558118278It's likely in part to hide how poor the rendering actually is. RotR launched on PC with unrestricted rendering and it absolutely destroyed performance only to be heavily restricted shortly after.
>>558106546Oh, so you're a crouch poker. Even worse.At least rivers and MV are stylish and have a little variety.
I think I might actually be getting to old for video games...
>>558095138That first Hiruko fight was awful because his second form glows in a way that disguises the red attack alert but the others were fine
>>558118278You managed to pick a spot where the colours on the skybox actually look nice, this is literally the best view in all of Kyoto, it's all downhill from there.>>558118462No they can make areas which look good, they HAVE made a handful of areas which look good, this is more a failing of concept and environmental artists to flesh out a full world properly. Spikes and crystals and goop are copy and paste screen filler used to cover the gaps where they didn't put in the effort to design a good looking environment. Kyoto can be explained by them possibly running out of time and budget and deciding to just make a whole zone out of filler goop props
>>558119748The game does have a rushed feel to it. But don't the garish colors and forced perspective remind you of anything?
>>558119579Pretty much, my biggest problem with Hiruko was that his model is pretty annoying to read, being a tall black and red Resident Evil mutant blob in a black and red arena. Otakemaru had a very clear silhouette and movement in comparison
>>558119748You're probably not wrong about the rushing part at least. Sengoku noticeably has more attention put into its open field while Heian and Bakumatsu are basically a series of islands held together by corridors of repeating assets.
>want to play nioh>spilt boiling tea on my handNigger
>>558120207Go to the hospital. Don't play a video game.
>>558118278personally i think it's pretty cool but i still prefer nioh 1 aesthetics
>>558120383spilling tea ain't gonna get over a first degree burn and treating that isn't exactly rocket science
>>558120383It's just superficial. Hurts like a motherfucker tho.
>>558106986Elden ring was where I saw that hardcore mentality drop off. Especially at the dlc.They started to make bad action game bosses instead of even bad souls game bosses. Between the neverending attack cycles and the overtuned damage/defense, they begged for you to cheese them. You're given such little tools aside from the cheese shit that you're wasting your time basically doing a gay challenge run if you try to fight them otherwise.Soloing bosses without cheesing them as hard as possible or being overleveled or something turned into shit only chinese autistic people or streamers with death counters did.End game elden ring pve is doing everything in your video, except it can still take fuckin like 12 minutes because the boss might have fancy cutscene attacks it's invincible during, and also because the character building is far more simple and restrictive. Active skills (martial arts) can be far more powerful than ashes of war. We have far better buffs and debuffs. We can give ourselves better permanent buffs through hard coded gear special effects than you can with temporary spell buffs, which we can apply better versions of over our passives. We have better parries. We have better stagger mechanics. We have the ability to, and incentives for, actually chaining together combos.These are good things, because nioh respects your time and gives you the tools you need or may need to properly *fight* these bosses and not just tickle their ankles once every 30sec until they die.
>>558121221>12 minuteswow even more than the 10 minutes you said for nioh 1you are bad
>>558117014>>558117063>>558117162Thanks. Im currently doing jurojin and the magic is strong but I need more unused onmyo otherwise I just run out of my strongest spells usually...
>stuck on Hiruko>really don't feel like grinding it out today>nothing else to do thoughfuck...
>>558121913you just gotta slow down a bitsame goes for the next boss fight
>>558121221>except it can still take fuckin like 12 minutes because tMy Elden Ring pre-boss buff rituals took longer than that entire video because of how many incants I needed to stack up
>>558122012>t. overwrites half of them
>>558121221To simplify the comparison between fighting the strongest bosses in either games: Elden Ring is like being too hot, and Nioh games are like being too cold.If you're too hot, there's only so much you can do without air conditioning or a pool (mods I guess). Once you're naked, there's kinda nothing else you can immediately do other than to sweat and slog through it until it gets cooler again.If you're too cold, you can put on layer after layer until you're warm again. You can rub your hands together. You can start a fire. You can cuddle with another creature, or kill it and use its hide for shelter.
>>558121221Why are you so bad at video games? I understand complaining about BOC or annoying gimmicky bosses. But Shadow's boss roster is really good.
>>558121484ntaAlso ?
>>558121221Holy shitter alert
>>558119429as in slow reflexes or just other responsibilities?

>>558122597are you getting your 3-4 REM sleep cycles? are you taking zinc (and whatever other stuff you're missing in your diet)? are you drinking too much caffeine?

>>558122597>>558122647>>558122670>>558122698speaking of age, everyone post their character and their age, i'm curious if there is a distinguishable difference in taste between youngfags and oldfags
>>558122826i'm 38 and the closer my character gets to being a nanoha character the better
>>558122458You got Midra, the hippo, and maybe Relanna and Bayle.The rest are either stunlockable/grab spammable npcs, recycled/gimmick shit in side dungeons, or cancer like I described.
>>558122826>>558123061kek, 40, kinda similar
I'm shocked they didn't pull some excuse to have a Nobunaga fight in this game out of their ass.
>>558123125gotta save something for DLC
>>558122503>t. overleveled bleed exploiter
>>55812306121 but I'm playing through 1 but whenever I play cac games I just barely edit the base female character and get her in skimpy clothes as soon as possible
>>558123265looks like we got an upstanding man of culture here
>>558123125I was expecting him to be the one with his swod or something
on the subject of character screenshots which cinematic is it that had your character dramatically shake their head no? i feel like it was after the retarded flailing ice boss, the one that turns into a barrier talisman?
>>55812282629
>switch to 1kat >it does literally everything better than OdachiWhat the fuckI'm doing so much more damage trivially and less vulnerable while I do it
>>558123737odachi is just bad in 3
>>55812282635, I just made temu Juri when I have her hair in buns. Don't have the attention span for character creators.
>>558123913CaC can be a pain, i usually enjoy them though
>>558123913Shame all the masks are ninja only. Kintaro would look good with the tengu mask.Also I miss the nue and ogress masks from 1.
>>558122826I'm >>558122647
>>558124334My Nioh 2 character, of which my 3 one is but a pale imitation:
>>558123192They seem to be saving a whole hell of a lot for dlc.If they add back/recycle every missing enemy/boss/armor piece/pre ninja weapon and add absolutely nothing new, it would still probably be the largest amount of dlc a nioh game's ever gotten.
>>558094595Dragon Ball Xenoverse more or less popularized the term in some online spaces. Kinda surprised people don't refer to it a CaW (Create a Warrior) for this game in particular considering that's how people refer to it in some of the Dynasty and Samurai Warriors games.
Trying to recreate a girl in my aviation maintenance class, her face is a bit rounder though.
>>558095138>inconsistent attack patternsThat's a good thing for challenge isn't it? A boss who's less predictable means you need to be even more careful around them
>>558125191
>>558125191what the fuck are these graphics settings fellow aviationbro
>>558100346He's mentioned, but doesn't appear in this game. He might show up in the first DLC if the following is correct:>first DLC is called Hell Rising in other countries, but Keian Uprising in China>occurs a year after Iemitsu dies irl>there's potential opportunity for this DLC to see Iemitsu and several other daiymos and warriors raised from the dead, perhaps under the influence of Maria
>>558125345im waiting to get my tax return before i finish building my new pc.
>>558125191you play a fantasy game full of beautiful characters and the first thing you do is create a nigger? god westoids are so pathetic
>>558124639I've seen you before. Nice cac.She looks like pre-wall Michelle Rodriguez.
>>558109463everything points to this game being rushed as fuck
>>558126057sad but true
lol
>>55812282634, can't be bothered loading up my game and taking a screenshot.But I basically "TRIED" to make William. It didn't turn out amazing.Every character I make in any game is always basically William or Geralt though. White or sandy pale blonde haired older man with scars and a beard
If I start NG+ can I go back to the base save so I can collect the missing Kodamas?
>>558126749hehe
>>558127274yeah it's just an option at the top of the screen while you are in the rift
>>558076172It is literally a bad Nioh 2.1. Team Ninja and their reused crap, it prolly cost them 2 bucks to make. Lazy, lazy weeb folk
>being a bad guy means you get a yokai wifeWhat the fuck. Why am I a good guy again?
>>558127941nioh 2 was already nioh 1.5
>>558128460the good guy gets a Japanese wife
>>558129270Sounds shit
>>558101394damn that looks so good. my photo mode looks pretty bad
>>558085334I don't HATE it but it hits like a wet noodle and is too slow.
>>558129362Was gonna try make a shitty knockoff version of Ibaraki in character creator, but the tattoo and makeup system is dogshit and can't get even remotely close to hers. If I could at least mirror tattoos or flip them, it'd be half decent.
>>558128460Good guys get a guardian spirit wife and pet.
>>558129946can i get a wifepet
>>558064529which crucible skills are worth using? so far I only found the one where he glues the katanas together and spins them but I refuse to use that cause it's retarded.
>>558129946Now we're talking!
>>558130030I don't see why not.
>>558130068huh? that one is pretty good. otherwise you don't need crucible skills besides the alternate grapple which is just a straight upgrade.the bread and butter for 2kat are god of wind 3, ultimate sign of the cross, and water sword
Terrible realization. The inevitable hayabusa boss fight is going to give you ninja gear isn't it?
>>558131510Do you even have to ask
>>558131510no, actually. his fit is ninja only, but his weapon is samurai only! you rike?
>>558131510Highest drop chance will be a unique gun that isn't part of his set
Fatal error XXXXXXXXX
Damn. All this time I thought they were ugly demons and it was just a mask.
>>558129768Yeah. I think the bordering between tattoo regions might be even worse now.At least they set a precedent for border hopping tattoos with the yakuza shoulder shit. Maybe we'll get hers and Hiruko's body tats in the dlc like we got npc hairstyles later on in nioh 2.Hair actually looks worse now too imo. You used to be able to max out the rgb values in 2 and it would still look as natural as blue, green, or white hair could look. Now it'll look like a party city wig if you do that.
>>558132483you're thinking of the mermaids
>>558095138His different followups are seeable, each branching option only has 2 outcomes bar the one double slash opener which has 3, and they don't loop or link into anything with further branching paths so it is trivial to learn everything he does. You're trying to force a valid complaint about ER onto a traditional boss design where it doesn't apply, this is a (You) problem and you should just do the fight more. Also Ice phase is totally skippable anywayThe inconsistencies you should be complaining about are the input drops, not the bosses having more than one attack
>>558132948input drops are actually driving me insane on caestus
>Elaborate combo system that allows you to link abilities together>The bosses that are worth a damn give you windows of opportunity that last for maybe one martial arts worthAm I missing something here or are you really supposed to just take the uninterruptible arts skill as samurai and just facetank through boss attacks?
Evens I go back through Rise of the Ronin on midnightOdds I go back and beat Dream of the Wise and finally do the DLCs in Nioh 20 I go play Black MesaThose DLCs better be good for this game, the base game doesn't have enough enough challenge between bosses and enemy placements are largely half-assed
>>558132587Worst character creation yet of all their games with one
Help, I'm addicted to the parry noise and it's costing me elixirs. I can't dodge.https://files.catbox.moe/zrnimn.mp4
>>558133342someone make a fucking sekiro clone already REEEEEEEEkannagi usagi was only half an hour long
>>558133176both nioh 1 and 2 dlcs are pretty cool and a lot harder than basegame
>>558133451Have you played Lies of P yet? It's also parry heavy.
>>558133342I both parry and dodge and still get merced. I may be an idiot.
>>558105906I was seething about the lacking difficulty in all the threads but I'm starting to just accept that all the games could be broken anyway. I hate RPGs.
>>558133539yeah great game
>>558133451Another Crab's Treasure?
>>558133101>take the uninterruptible arts skill as samurai and just facetank through boss attacks?They absolutely wanted this to be an option for the majority of players and this will survive into the endgame because of massive damage reduction gear
>>558133680That's not a Sekiro clone but it is also a great game.
>>558133516Nioh 1 dlc is amazing until you fight someone with living weapon.
>fighting human boss>"alright lets get real! hiyah!">gets hyper armorjust make everyone yokai at this point.
>>558134402yeah that's why i qualified with "pretty" lol. especially date masamune.
Damn the second Ibaraki fight in Bakumatsu was a lot harder than the first.
>>558134784Should've allowed us to put a ring on her missing arm's finger and offer it up only to get killed anyways because she's not familiar with the Western marriage customs that were brought over during the Bakumatsu period.
>>558107187I dont know if you can entirely define them by stats when stats change between games. Unless you're pointing out stats that are unique to each game. In which case that makes sense somewhat. William is uniquely aligned with guardian spirits. Hiddy is obviously the YOKAI NIGGA. Takechiyo is neither? Other than having his special guardian spirit but obviously the game has way less guardian spirits and you can't become yokai so if we're power scaling, he might be on the lower end.
>>558107187Tokichiro is so lucky...
>>558135602True.
>>558107187I want to know Saito's secrets, how did he bag the hottest yokai milf.
>>558136410when a nigga returns all the kodama in japan to the shrines he gets some street cred
bitches love kodama
>>558131510It always did, anon...
I just fought Kasha in N3, holy fuck old bosses are not ready for the ninja mobility and are not able to fight back at all. I remember boss being way harder but between deflect and ninja dodges across entire arena she seemed unable to fight back. And I very much doubt that it's me getting better.
>>558136980they decreased her damage imo
>>558133176The DLCs are the best part, have fun.
>>558133101The combo system is for the dps window you get when you drop the bosses ki to 0 and they begin to flinch due to your attacks until you either cause them to collapse or they regain ki.And yes, this means that the rest of the fight you are supposed to poke in-between enemy attack patterns. People will try to cope that you can parry and dodge to create openings, but that doesn't really extend the amount of time you have to attack in-between the boss combos, it just means you have a dodge/deflect buff for the few attacks you can get in. Dodge is marginally more useful as it allows you to reposition behind the boss for that fat backstab damage, which is why Ninja is just straight up better than samurai.
>>558137024Decreased damage if obvious, but that's exact same thing for every enemy in the game, like make a new character, get hit by a skeleton yokai and you don't lose 80% hp like first 2 games, u lose less than 50%.
and no i am not using todo
>>558137136yeah this is what i mean it's fuckin everyone...the insane skeleton spearman damage was kino
>>558136980Kasha was always a push over. Top 3 Easiest Nioh 2 boss for me. People don’t like her for her fight, let’s be honest. Nice theme though
Can she be fixed?
>>558137414Only if you're a spearchad.
>the final act is full of bosses spamming elemental damage>I can't deflect well enough to stop all the damageI don't mind ninja but come on game...Also, it's getting really hard to tell when they do red attacks because they all fucking glow and shieet
>>558137414Only if you're an Axechad
>>558137414What's that written on her boob?
>>558137414once you ibaraki doji the rest of her limbs it'll be safe
>>558137462yea, this got me to start using life leech talisman. turns out it's super over tuned. try it and enjoy your new life as an invincible samurai
>>558137546White men only
>>558137457>>558137495Both wrong, Yasha is for dual sword (samurai) chads.
>>558137140If that was to me, Kasha guy, No I am in fact not using it, let me know if u see anything illegal here.
>>558137807she just weaki see no violations here
>>558137807>let me know if u see anything illegal here
>>558138384Nice try, but no, here is with connected to the server on shrine, game for some reason kicks me out sometimes.
Need help with the Toyo romance mechanics. I have given her the dowry swords but nothing further happens.
>>558138525just sloth her and pull her pants down and get in there
any good battle scrolls for fighting yokai bosses, other than 'drawn to yokai incense'?
>>558134431Can't wait for the depths equivalent to come out and for a brand new roster of undesirables to be established
>>558138874if there's another boss as fucking annoying as nyotengu i will be livid. i know you're supposed to play volleyball with her but she's still fucking bullshit
>>558138525Sorry bro, she only has eyes for me
>>558138962Imagine the hatchet guy with his bullshit hyperarmor and depths lifesteal, gonna be a fan favourite for sure
>>558139193I bet I can tornado's edge victory rush him even with that
>>558139193
Fuck I love these tattoos
>>558139314I've got body swap primed on my spear if I ever grow tired of his shit just like I would get tired of this nigger's antics
>>558139760lmao
Well, I've finished NG+ and got all gear to +15.Not gonna bother trying to get 170 gear.Axe was yet again my weaponfu. I wish Odachi wasn't so shit. Then again, just like Nioh 1, I'd probably switch back to Axe asap anyway.Ninja is lame.The transmog system sucks now that ninja slop and samurai aren't shared.Lumber Chop instant version on hit sound effect never gets old and I will spam that shit foreverAlso Ibaraki is my wife.See you all in the DLC.
>>558140572you can mod the transmog i believe, it's literally a fuckin line in the ini
>>558141075Some anons here were unfortunate enough to get the PS5 version instead
I'm starting to get ready for a playthrough to prepare char for future DLC on base difficulty when it comes out. What's the most "fair" weapon if I don't plan to use ninjutsu and magic. I played Cestuses, 1Kat, 2Kat, hatchets, 1KatNinja. Looking for anything that will not break the game just by existing and using basic moveset.
>>558144140Switchglaive.
>>558136651they are the souls of sweet and innocent children who ever got lost and turned to yokai
>>558144140the OP weapons are 1kat(sam) and tonfasthe needs fixing weapons are odachi, 2kat(sam) and cestusanything else is fair
why the hell is Rise of the Ronin still $30?
>>558145046>2kat(sam) and cestusAnything that needs fixing besides deflect stuff?
>>558145943no but the deflect stuff is a pretty big issue, especially the skill not working with them
>>558125191and people wonder why there's so many planes crashing these days.
>>558145943>>558146452Wait, there's something wrong with 2kat?
>>558144349and? bitches love kids? duh?
>>558146549because there are too many dei pilotsand also you're not allowed to say you might have brain problems or else you get soft blacklisted from the industry so people just don't bring it up
>>558146693And cestus, yeah. They have less deflect frames and the skill to add more doesn't do anything.
>>558147117that actually explains a lot
>>558066670All of this completely worthless on story bosses though
>increases ki pulse ki recovery amount by 10%does this actually do anything or am I just blind?
>>558148016you'll notice it a lot more when the stat caps get baleeted and you can have 300 heart
>>558148016I assume this is referring to the bar that fills up after using moves. So if before you could recover 80 ki from a perfect ki pulse, now it goes up to 88 which maybe makes it take a bit more time to reach? But it could also maybe mean that you recover more from ki flux on top of that, idk
>>558148380it does apply to flux yes
All of the katana moves where u sheathe/unsheathe it during the move are just too cool. How can any other weapon even compete in a cool factor.
>>5581489052kat has 2 of them
why is sword still the only wep that gets a cool little unique low stance dodge
>>558149819Spear also gets it desu.
>join other's game>Ieyasu chose THIS over Kunimatsu to be the next shogunMaybe Kunimatsu had a point.
so many of the "if this depletes enemy's ki" skills are so fucking situational and useless. fucking annoying
Low stance spear, my beloved.
>>558151385what does low spear EVEN DO?
>Fighting Demon of PrideHelp. My build isn't ass but 2kat just feels so fucking heinous against him. Why can't we splash guardian spirit skills so that I have something for his burst attacks that aren't weird style shift timings? Why isn't there a master ninja skill about extending what is considered a backstab and instead both options just boosting ninjutsu damage instead of any other playstyle? It feels like this bastard has the smallest ass ever conceived as 15% of my hits on his derrière is considered backstabbing. I can confuse him but when he goes to ki-break he gives me the one-two nutbreakers of nigh-immediately going dark realm (so confusion is gone AND applying it next time is harder) and always orientating his face to me so I only get the first half of it to be actual backstab hits. Yes I am one giant skill issue but reee damn it
>>558151674Look cool.
>>5581498192kat also does.
>>558151746tru
>>558151675just get behind him and don't get fooled by his bullshit.
>>558151674Spear has one of the best dodge attacks in the game and it's especially effective on low stance spear because it gets the special side twirl dodge.
>fight itsumade for the first time>no soul core drop>restart and fight him again>get drop but need to unlock it with crucibleUGH this was not worth getting raped for by the big bird 5 times.
DADDY SAID ITS MY TURN TO HAVE THE INFINITE KI
>>558152000>dodge>attackwhat year is it?
>>558152824>nioh villain was just a cartoon character bad guy but that didn't matter because William was cool>tokichiro was a rags to riches friend who got corrupted and had to be put down>this fag is just a spoiled brat that's impossible to give a shit aboutI skipped every cutscene in 3 after a certain point. I've never been more disinterested in the story of a game I was actually playing. Feels bad.
>>558152824I would've actually like him more if he wasn't possessed and really was just such a shit head he started time travelling to fuck with you.
>>558153968this
>>558153968You can definitely amp up the ridiculousness of his pettiness to a high enough degree for him to be amusing, but they didn't go that far
>>558153968I've posted this before but that sequence where Hiruko appears to possess him should have ended with him killing Hiruko to steal his power
>>558154307The fact that this didn't happen in spite of his insecurities manifesting as actual demons is infuriating. Let him be a Stinger/Iguazu tier shitter.
>>558152824He's dying every playthrough for what he did in Shigurui.
I wish the samurai/warrior/ninja skills were more interesting.
>>558154695Name some that are uninteresting to you.
Why did they retard every single ninja weapon? Were the weapons of Nioh 2 too complex and obtuse or something? We can never have good things
>>558155294i use spear flourish on low stance
Rise of the Ronin is more fun than I remembered
>>558153467>>558154194>>558154307>>558154325single children?
>>558156313Just because kids can be retarded doesn't make me appreciate a villain that acts like one
didnt mean to reply to that guy, if it wasnt obvious
thanks for the (you) kunnymitsu
>>558151848I'm usually good but then by the 4th dark realm shift or phase two when he steals Homing Bubblemass (why couldn't that be your spell instead of Infinite Bubble Whiffs) I start slipping up. I'm not even mad at the game here, I enjoy the blue bastard mostly, just beat him and left the sidequest to start looking at skills/blessings, am using Tengen so maybe Living Artifact can be splashed?
>>558156313No, I've got two siblings. I just think that Kunimitsu losing all agency to some demon with no personality was a missed opportunity given the work they put into giving him motivations.
>>558156793hasnt it been a running theme that giving yourself into sinful emotions (in this case pride and envy) was an easy way for the evil of the spirit stones to get to him like tokichiro? while he only had 2, the third one was him really mulling over his mistake and why he was so willing to take the punishment of death.
>>558156038I've been playing it for the first time and it's way more fun than I expected. Well I also haven't played an open world game like this since like some of the older assassin's creeds
>>558150531>Hiruko>Otakemaru>Saito Yoshitatsu>Oda Nobunaga>Princess Noh>Kunimatsu aka Tadanaga>Minamoto no Yoritomo>Blade TwinAncient Japan was a crazy time to have siblings
>>558157250its a hard time whenever a country has such a bloody civil war.
>>558157250Minamoto no Yoritomo in Nioh got away with everything after fucking up Japan twice with Otakemaru and Hiruko lmao.
>>558157510local man too important to die lol this is what happens when you found the military wing and happen to have your progeny spread throughout. unlike that weird yokaifucker who only fucked monster BUMS
>>558130068Demon Thrust is a good utility move and Dragon Fang for the spirit drain grapple. If you don't like Double-headed Slice then that's fine because Twin Dragons is way better anyways. A good combo is to use God of Wind in mid stance, flux+Winter Wind over to low, then use Twin Dragons and then Earthrender in the air. God of Wind, SotC, and Water Sword are all still good but Twin Dragons, Earthrender, and improved Raijin all join the gang of good 2kat skills. The frost moon attacks are pretty good as well.
A guide tells me to hunt wraiths in ng+ but they dont appear? Do i just finish the main story and crucibles for ng+? The extra missions too?
Where the hell's the konkaki jiji wraith? I think he's the only one I missed. Gotta be in the final crucible right?
>>558157872>If you don't like Double-headed Slice then that's fine because Twin Dragons is way better anyways.hard disagree, DHS does good damage and applies pressure, twin dragons is slow, puts you in the air, and the natural followup earthrender often misses smaller targets, tried using it for a while over DHS but ended up hating it.
>>558156793>I just think that Kunimitsu losing all agency to some demon with no personality Isn't that most of Nioh? Antagonists and mooks all losing their shit to dumb rocks and ghosts?
>>558158783>dumb rocks and ghosts?speaking of which, arent spirit stones/amrita/crucinite just a solidified magic fuel made out of human souls? It was funny how they brush over it in nioh2
>>558156313i am a younger brother
>>558158783Yeah, but this was a lot worse to me because Hiruko was just some brainlet grugbrain who turns into an mmo enemy
>>558158783tokichiro fought backand the alchemist guy got some aura
>>558158565cant remember but i think thats right? behind a nurikabe
>>558157872Twin Dragons? The jump move? That takes forever, the punish window will be long over by the time I'm diving with earth render unless I pull off some confusion trickery.
>>558158663It's definitely not slow, the water version has a slightly longer startup but it's still fast enough to pressure things. Earthrender is the part that's a bit slower and does occasionally miss but it's solid when it lands. You can always end with a normal air strong attack if you see the enemy moving out of the way as well. To be fair though, I haven't actually measured the pure damage of either move but I still like the new Twin Dragons+Earthrender combo more. It does suck that the moves have to fight for the same input though.
>>558130068>but I refuse to use that cause it's retardedBased and same.
>>558158389Wraiths typically are at the end of crucibles and bases, which are repeatable.>Living artifact inquiriesAm I retarded or is there not a way to extend the duration of an active Living Artifact? Also any advice towards better ways to increase the amrita gauge? Currently testing with Pleiades and amrita gain effects (Gear and Extraction) and it's a snail's pace. There is a skill about increasing it per spirit hit and it doesn't seem half bad but Tengen is not multi-hit (yes this is a flat per-hit effect so another win for Guhin).>Enhanced Style ShiftFor any ninja builds this is about 2x charge rate when needed. Pretty good if comfortable doing double swaps when low.
>>558159383preference i guess, i like DHS cause it also tracks target pretty well and moves you forward
>>558158964yea the Antiquity reveal was such a fucking dissapointment. who even was that guy?
>>558153090?Every weapon has unique dodge and run attacks. In some cases they might even have unique quick or strong attacks.
>>558159148I've been using the combo fine on out-of-ki yokai and it'll shred normal humans, no idea where you're getting this idea that it's slow. Earthrender will connect most of the time as well.
I'm really enjoying using massive hoe as my axe skin
>>558160281I tried to learn axe but it's weird to use in multiplayer. Seems fun though
How much clan rank do I need to retain a bonus?
>>558160478took me like 6 seconds to find in the menu
>>558161081about the same time it took him to post that, then.
ibaraki doji summon is such a cheat code for human bosses. I always have to restrain myself from using her unless the boss has killed me a bunch already
>>558160478>>558161081>retainY'all niggas telling me I can mix and match clan bonuses now?
does effect duration affect living artifact?
>>558160440Dodge bash into ki pulse bash is very fun to spam with axe.
>>558161081So how much glory is Deputy Leader?>>558161431Shouldn't but I can test (have a shinran build on standby) and give you an update.More Spell/Core thoughts>Hellstream TalismanCool if we ever get 100% untouched onmyo as you can spam multiple to be active at the same time. One-off it's depressing (can't hit a soldier standing still).>YashaIt's about as good as me in making pussies wet, it's damage thing first and never application.>Demon of PrideImagine the utopia in which boss soul cores were universal, imagine because this one is fucking amazing, and the only reason I'm not touching is because of that "1x" next to it. It's not better than 8 geyser shots.>Demon of ObsessionHe's a big weirdo. Good for fire accumulation but not wind (no wind damage whatsoever).
>>558161081Oh.. thx. And I even googled it too before asking and didn't get any answers as clear as this. I just tend to assume this kind of info isn't clearly explained ingame.
>Living Artifact + effect durationThe latter doesn't affect the former (Shinran doesn't give you over 50% more Living Artifact).>Crucible WaspsActually a decent source of poison if you spec into that (Onmoraki doesn't need accumulation boosts to apply poison but 6 > 2).
>>558162453alright thanks. speaking of wasps I was thinking of doing a kuzuryu bee build
>>558161680i think they finally got the message about how shit their tutorials were after how complex all the resources were in nioh 2
on that note i miss saoirsecan't make a good super build without her...
oh hey they fixed the bug where nightshade mask disabled your bangs
Oh, found Shadowclad (shadow art = elemental weapon of that element so its also reliable to allow specialization) if anyone else was doing a Ninja Inari build and wanted flexibility on their guardian spirit (its not Tengen Kujuku), couldn't find it for the longest time but I'll be stubborn and put good to Oda's spirit.
>>558160069why are you dodging in a parryslop game
>>558163776Waiting for your enemy to stop attacking before your counter attack is actually extremely pedestrian
Are there any sets that support ninjutsu damage besides iga leader?
>>558163776Why are you nigger cattle. You can do more damage and more ki damage by dodging most of the time. Do you go up to every gaki and jailer oni and just sit there for several seconds waiting for them to attack so you can deflect? clown
>>558164903Flying Kato iirc
on the topic of ninjutsu, is everything considered a ninja "tool"?
>>558164903daikokuten
>>558163551yeah that was actually in the patch notes at some point. I guess enough people complained
>>558161430Yes there's a menu in the shrine where you can swap them out for ninja and samurai, two effects on each and you can mix and match them
>>558165340The biggest ninja "tool" is you, the player
Summoning Seals not regenerating is retarded
Bros im trying ng+ but its just too boring. To be fair i also really didnt do it in nioh 1 and 2. Do you guys think i should push or maybe wait a few days?
>>558165640I just blitzed the main quest and it was mid but largely unchallenging. Some improvements to enemy density plus difficulty in a couple areas but not nearly enough.
>>558165640Personally I am having way more fun with NG+. I can just walk around pick up fights wherever I want. No cat collecting, no ferret collecting, no bland quests. Checklist is done, I can just FIGHT and have fun with slightly tankier enemies
why are hatchets so fucking ass AGAIN lmao
>>558165340There's a label above the skills on the tree
>>558164903Depends on what you want to support>General ninjitsu damageIga, a small set bonus on last ninja (not the reason you are using this set), and Daikoukuten also gives you about 15% more ninjitsu power (flat 84, 99 skill gives you 600)>Gauge chargeKusarigama master (heaviest ninja armor so B agility warning) and Flying Kato>Unlimited (worse than gauge charge in my eyes)Iga>Elemental damage/Shadow art specificKato>>558165636I have a question if we want to talk dumb. Why doesn't Ninjitsu/Spirit Charge refresh on shrine? Why do I have to start scrolls empty?
>>558163776parryslop when the window is only 13 frames at best? miss me with that shit.
>>558166195They were good in 2 and they're still good in 3.
>>558151675>Why can't we splash guardian spirit skillsYou can tho? Guardian skills work as burst breaks (and don't need to be timed as much).
>>558166415The magic needs amrita to use which is crystalized human suffering so you need to cause that to use your super cool sadist magic
>>558166429Okay unc

>>558167217The fact that's how you interpreted those posts is actually more an indication of your IQ than theirs
>>558167102Cope underage
>>558166663I want meant by that is I want my brute counter (Enko/Guhin's cheap skill) on all of my spirits instead of practically only having style shift because 90% of other guardian spirit skills are too slow (try to burst counter on reaction the jailer oni on training ground with Murakumo (Ninja) and weep).

how to unlock second yang position soul core? the box doesnt have anything written in it and i cant select it at all.
>>558167516That doesn't mean you HAVE to play like him, retard.
>>558168128Yes it does
>>558168030Continue the main story. You get it after beating a dude who uses it iirc.
>switches to tonfa>immediately notice the differenceI also realized it'd probably help Ninja 2kat if they had a mystic art worth a damn instead of whatever the fuck they have (consecutive attack bonus that resets on ground? thank you so much hattori...)
I'm almost done with Bakumatsu and I still don't know how to get to Japanese Dung Eater in the nexus.
>>558168442Heian era, not far from Envy, he has a quest there.
>>558168538Oh, and if you mean after that, the ladder behind the blacksmith.
Did I just fight several yokai including two deities and professional military soldiers for... a tomato?
>only goal left is full 170 gear>game refuses to drop anything above 168 chest, gloves, waist and ranged weaponswhat the actual fuck man, what sort of spaghetti code is running in the background here
>>558168430Cloud Dancer is theoretically good but it's hard to tell if it's working because there's no visible buff icon. They really need to update it so that it actually shows when it procures. It doesn't say that it resets when you hit the ground either, just that air attacks build it up so I don't know how long it stays active when on the ground. I also don't know if moves like Spinning Dragon and Abscission are procuring it because your feet are technically of the ground during parts of these moves. Even the basic combo has a jumping attack built in and I've been wondering if that is procuring it. The weapon is still good though, you'll do tons of damage with Shadow Slice on a back.
>>558168128It looks cool as fuck though, which we all know is the most important thing
are there multiple crucible moves for each weapon? all mine have the same thing.
>>558169251Yes, different crucibles drop different shit, it looks like
>>558168816Yes and you took that from the future and then travel back in time for your grandpa when he was in his prime.
What do these lanterns do anyway? Do they have some narrative significance for the crucibles?
newfag playing nioh 2 heream i just bad or are parry windows pretty tight in this game?
>>558169220Yeah, but dodging is also cool, or attacking while the boss is busy swinging the other way. I practically only use ninja for cicada surge.
>>558169327fuuuuuck i hate farming
>>558169170>Dancer is theoretically goodHate to break it to you but the damage boost is ONLY for aerial attacks, it doesn't exist once you touch the ground. Maybe if it was extreme and 2kat had a strong aerial game (longer air time than one skill and a light attack). The most it can do for ground attacks is if you have Gain Amrita (strong attack) + Increased DMG (Amrita Absorb) and do a jumping heavy attack, that will generate amrita and proc effects (sadly also fires a familiar ball too).>Shadow sliceMaybe that's my problem, I'm a sucker for multi-hit so I'm using double-headed slice (also helps for application, something elemental weapons need all the help to do), I remember early in the playthrough it being solid
>actually tried to use hazy moon bladeoh no, OH NO! YOU CAN'T FUCKING USE IT IN THE TRAINING GROUND BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME DAMN INPUT AS GUARDIAN SPIRIT SKILLS! Fucking stupendous.
>>558169779"Progress in the level is this way". That's pretty much it.
>>558169871Maybe but the biggest challenge is that the correct window is very hard to tell in Nioh 2, at least for me, especially if you change your guardian type regularly. I'll recommend sticking to a single type for a while.that's massively improved in 3 there's only one window type and it feels a lot more obvious when exactly the counter should go in.
>Odachi hidden skill jump slash can combo into unsheathe to recover Ki and unsheathe can skip animation frames during Arts spam interesting
I hate bakumatsu. The level design is good, I feel stronger than ever and the gameplay is so fun but everything is a red and black eyesore.Also that one fag has a revolver and I want it.
>Shogun's Journey co-op already dead on PS5Wew
>>558170624jesus christ
>>558170034I haven't tested it enough but that sucks if true, that's really why I'd like a buff icon to understand how it procures and how long it lasts. I'm assuming they'll add one in an update. The weapon does have a strong air game though, you can have air time for as long as you have ki but against most bosses it's not always the best idea to try and stay airborne for that long. Divine Flight combo'd into a Spinning Drill on the enemy's back works fairly well since Divine Flight tries to move you behind them. The tengu girl also work very well with her multiple feather barrages since you regain ki while in the air while doing them. The biggest issue is that the game restricts horizontal aerial movement which will sometimes screw up Divine Flight if the enemy moves away in the wrong direction. Spinning Dragon can also be combo'd into air moves after the first part with a dodge, GS skill, or ninjutsu which can also setup more Spinning Drills and whatnot. But yeah, Shadow Slice hits really hard and you'll get big numbers if you can land it square on a back. It has wonky tracking though as a tradeoff so it can be hard to land it sometimes but Cicada Shell works nicely to set it up. Endless Rain is kind of meh though. It does decent ki damage but it whiffs on pretty much any enemy that's not big. It should theoretically build Cloud Dancer well though.
>>558170964>red>red>red>look, a little orange, as a treat!
>>558166621What are the best moves for it?
daily reminder that Cestus and Dual Swords have shorter deflect windows than the other weapons and that deflection expert makes no difference to these two weaponsalso on 1kat the mystic art and deflection expert does not stack
>>558170624>>558170964How are the colorblind supposed to even play this
>>558171593well, everything is one color anyway so I don't see how it would be a problem for them.it would be a challenge if the game wanted them to tell green and red things apart for something, but everything's just red.
Between William, Hide, and Takechiyo, who has the biggest potential to become Shaman King?
how do you guys farm crucible weapons in ng+?i'm still missing some skills
>>558171912Farm the red ghostmen in Yoshinobu's stage.
>>558171912
I wish odachi scaled with heart instead of magic
>>558171117>haven't tested itI was testing it while typing out the message, that is indeed how it works.>Air timeSeems like a build issue on my end since my air spirit skill sucks + not to comfortable going for air-ninjitsu (the hitbox on thundering calamity is cursed). Also have it where my grounded utility is solid (Wind Slash (Gale) is functionally a free spell with how good it is for application, the uppercut (fire) actually is where I do a little combo of that into Fire jutsu for solid application before heavy attack for amrita gain).
>>558172368you should be getting magic so you can bring all your yokai friends with you :)
>>558165998yeah the checklist is kinda relaxing but this is more fun
>>558169779your bro is lighting the way for you
>>558172368You can swap stats
>>558170964with the lighting settings turned up it looks much better
>>558171117>tengu girlanon...that's a shota...don't be gay...
>>558171375Piercing Hurl Light with Trained Throw and Wild Surge to quickly close a gap fuck shit up. Both Greased Lightning (Lightning) and Boulder Breaker are good so it might come down to preference. You can repeatedly chain together Wild Surges and Boulder Breakers for example but Greased Lightning is simply strong and works well when combo'ing it after things like Wild Surge. Heaven's Clash Wind is great AOE coverage and can also be followed up with Wild Surge so it sucked in 2 but is fairly decent in 3. Dual Hawks is good but Scaling Waterfall can setup air combos if that's your thing. Roundabout is used to get behind enemies but sometimes enemies turn around too quickly for you to capitalize on the back damage. Advancing Storm isn't the highest damage but it's good for pressuring enemies with constant axe throws and it keeps you mobile while throwing them. Demon Undercut is slow but it'll deal high ki damage. Lethal Barrage is good melee damage but I'm not actually sure if it's the strongest option anymore. I'm tempted to say that just spamming as many Wild Surges and Greased Lightnings might be the strongest thing but I'm not really sure. I haven't used Death from Above Water that much but it can also setup air combos. I generally do a combo of either Piercing Hurl or Heavens Clash Wind, then Wild Surge, then mist directly into an uncharged Greased Lightning (lightning) or fully charged one if I have time.
who here /retarded and just hit things til they die/
>>558172845this is ultra with post-processing crap turned off
>>558173036idk what u didbut my game did not look like that in that place
>>558172905It's a girl, go be gay somewhere else.
>hiruko on ng+>use soaring fowl>characters gets stuck in the air and hits hiruko for 500 damage like a million times in the span of 2 seconds and he dies from almost full healthwish i was recording that but alright then
>>558171593Do not be concerned, the person who designed this zone was clearly colourblind already so it's been thoroughly tested
>>558173227aww...
>Twin Dragons [Water]Move is fine as far as I can telln except the fact that the fucking ki pulse timing ends whike you're still airborne lmao, so good luck linking anything to it.
>>558165640Broskis i downloaded nioh1 and continuing (i am stuck on the hjdeyori and kurama fight). Im having more fun.. i think nioh3 just sucks lmao. Games used to look nice, now its all washed out.
>>558173234lol
>>558173234laffed
>>558172436I only use physical ninjutsu and I don't really have a build, you can also just chain Divine Flight endlessly together for as long as you have ki. I do have that one skill equipped that reduces ki consumption in the air though.
>>558173291pretty sure you're supposed to follow it up with an instant dive attack or Earthrender, no?
>>558173291You're supposed to link another aerial attack after it like Earthender or just a normal quick/strong attack.
>>558173631I mean I guess, but ot still seems kinda silly. Flux doesn't work mid-air, not TD is particularly ki-draining.
>>558173830Nothing silly about it, it's a move that sets you up for a follow-up attack in the air so that's what you link to it.
Is it some sort of unspoken rule for the Equipment Appearance screen to always have the most dogshit lighting imaginable?
i'm done coping; it is what it is...the game was not balanced around picking samurai or ninja; takechiyo is both. by sticking to one you are always going to be weaker than you could be.
>>558174574>unlock Guardian Skill burst break>never style switch ever again>blow through the entire game as SamuraiSounds like a skill issue bucko
>>558174931you don't even need that skill. just use the Nioh 2 control scheme (E and F) with disconnected Burst and Style Switch.I went through the entire NG in Samurai and I'm gonna do NG+ as Ninja.
>gonna do an entire new playthrough with a new character using only cesti and talons How fucked am I?
>>558174574Meanwhile I was 3000% open to the ninja style idea but the more I play the less I understand why they did it the way it is and why I should even bother using it at all.
>>558174574>the game was not balancedPlayer character is overpowered again
>>558168583>>558168538Heh thanks. Didn't even know there's a ladder there. He gave me a blackened key. What is that for?
>>558175915Doors to the chest above the blacksmith. But you're probably overleveled for it now as its 120 gear.
>>558176090Ok thank you.
>Nuribotokewhat the fuck is happening I can't see shit
Polearm or Odachi for rotr? I used 1kat my first playthrough
>>558175685>>558174931what does this have to do with what i said? ill twist you both into pretzels i tell u hwhat
>>558175842i feel if the just tweaked a few skills, ninjitsu and and talismans it would make a huge difference though.
