In Nioh games pretty much all the buffs that seem good and strong are actually weak or way too short.
Stuff like Stealth and Ranged Damage Protection are 10/10 on the other hand.

Nioh 3 sucks
Samurai has never been less fun
They ruined odachi

Announcements of Disappointment
>Mysteries of TN's Skills
So the mystery skills that give untouched onmyo? Have different percentages. Onmyo magic is 25% meanwhile summoning seals are 20%. Secondly, Awakening only boosts buff duration by 10% (we'll get to seppuku later).
>Seals
While onmyo magic is boosted by generic damage boosts like Carnage/Amrita Absorption, not the case with seals. Why? No fucking clue, maybe they were just extremely afraid of seals being good considering you get a ton more Onmyo casts + more untouched onmyo when compared to what you get with Seals. And they actually apply elemental effects unlike most seals too.
>Effect Duration
So the bugfix they said about the affix not showing the right number? Yeah they only intended for every single source to give single digit percentages to duration. True Pure Land? 6%. Writing Set? 2%. Hotei? 3%. Fucking why. I can maybe get True Pure Land, the duration is on both forms but honestly it'd be nice if there was some nice splash sets for the other forms to really allow specialization, Ninja has a couple of decent bonuses while Samurai has nothing (and you could've just let things like the sensor bonuses be universal, doesn't even need to be damage bonuses). And even then you didn't have to fucking torpedo the affix to be so mind-boggingly, soul-crushing, scampuss-plush-grabbingly ass. Why not just half, let it where if you go True Pure Land it's 30% to the effects, or stacking it on Hotei for 60% or so. Between this and Ebisu I'm wondering if any grace that isn't just damage boosts were tested at all because this can't matter. Collectively these bonuses would only give you a second on a 10 second buff, was 5 seconds for complete dedication too much?

Also for the anon that wondered about sorting by the hammer icon for gear. You can, go to filter and its on the 1st special effects part of the menu, works when disassembling as well.

DLC wants and hopes?
I've been hyping myself up over a Russo-Japan War DLC that will never happen. Fighting Roman Isidorovich Kondratenko during the Siege of Port Arthur. Friendly duel with Nogi Maresuke. Russians using enemies ported in from Wo Long because it's happening in Manchuria. Side missions with the spirit of Lafcadio Hearn where you get acces to a skill book that gives you the RoTR barehanded moveset. Reintroduction of bayonets and ox tail blades. It's straight never ever tier because China would throw a fit over having any sort of representation of Japanese occupied China, even when they're not in the story at all and it's just Russia vs. Japan.

>Return of the Abyss
I think having something like Wo Long's Journey or just porting the abyss from Nioh 2 (preferably this would be the free update content side of things to complement the expansion-sized DLCs) would be really nice. I think it'd be nice to have tightly designed encounters again almost like some of what the final story mission has to throw but with returning faces from Nioh 1/2. New weapons should be a given considering past Nioh DLCs and the time between them being long (dlc 1 is coming September and DLC2 is next Feburary), I'm thinking they're making them in the vein of Shadow of the Erdtree in terms of scope.

>Damage (Equipment Weight) Title Bonus
Don't sleep on this for it's a universal multiplier, boosts not just weapon damage but things like Ninjitsu and Onmyo magic. Obviously can't boost Seals damage because fuck you. For Ninja it's about 2.5% extra damage if wearing 15.2 units of armor (Kusarigama master + black fox helm), recall Samurai maxing out at about 3% if in very heavy armor.
>All Ablaze
It's just a 10% damage boost, solid if you want to preserve onmyo slots but Carnage is a lot more damage (48.5% more damage).
>Oda's clan bonus

>>558630616
>Talismans
So all of the one-sword damage boost effects (Carnage/Power/Amrita absorb) do boost ninjitsu/Onmyo. Last Stand doesn't stack with Carnage for onmyo damage but does for melee-centered builds, just note you don't proc critical effects.
>Ninjitsu did you know
Remember to if you can aim for the back on enemies, despite them being pure elemental damage they can get the backstab ninja gets innately (and boosted with certain sets/clan bonuses).
>Spells
Triple Hell (elec/wind/fire) to be lazy. Spark is your big nuke laser, fire/wind are AOE centered. If more extended routes than Explosive Shot/Thunderstorm/etc. are good too add onto this. All of this damage boosting doesn't affect seals so they're in shit creak as KI DMG at best.

thx, good info

>>558628071
Answer the question

can you farm consumable elemental weapon talismans or am i better off sacrificing an onmyo slot?

>>558632884
Sacrifice the slot
I haven't run an expedition on the patch just yet but the amount of glory pre patch even if it was multiplied by 3 isn't enough to sustain regular use of the mats you'll use crafting them

And I'm fairly certain none of the sudama have them in unlimited stock.

>>558632129
>>558632428
>Addendum
Onmyo damage is still boosted by Talisman of the Fist if you are "equipped" with your bare arms, other forms of bare-fist damage boosting should also work for onmyo but this is very likely to get patched unless the code is THAT spaghetti.

>>558632884
I'd say sacrifice the slot compared to the consumables but note if you're playing Ninja, there's a skill (Shadowclad) and a spirit (Tengen Kujuku) you could use to explore elemental weapons without needing to do either. Former is very short duration but flexible with guardian spirit/shadow art while the later lasts a while but you're stuck with no good guardian skill to burst counter with.

Yes, my original testing was with Tatenashi and I think the two combined barely gave 5% but on its own was 3%. Will note that Kusa is the heaviest ninja armor aside from maybe the Sohaya set, shit's practically heavy armor.

>>558635852
Yeah and when he starts his attack combos it's baffling how long it takes him to finish. Just very boring and annoying in a small arena. Some of the attacks are easy to evade/jump but the penalty for getting hit is being insta-killed by the rest of the combo.

>>558633129
Shadowclad is extremely low value in both applying ailment, triggering spirit force (element) passive, and doing actual damage.

I'm pretty sure it's primarily there to make one of the masteries easier to trigger.

>>558637506
Elemental weapons from my experience generally suck ass in all of those things (the 29% from skill and weapon being the way it works for Tengen Kujuku), Shadowclad is mostly there to make sure you have something on to help keep the element on after your calamity got the proc, especially if using Inari as it's an aggressive way of doing it (already want to do ninjitsu for ki-regen reasons).

ok boys, 20 days since the game was launched and I have 130 hours in it including the demo... but today I don't feel like launching it. What is there left to do?

>>558637850
In my own opinion, the elemental buffs are actually pretty great this time unless the boss resists the element
Usually at this stage of the game if you hit with something like a 1kat strong heavy the elemental damage wouldn't amount to shit. Here it's a pretty sizable chaser. Inari a whole other beast though since it doesn't give a shit what strength that elemental buff is, just that you have one.

>>558638303
Eh. It's not like you've gotta play it everyday
When I play I'm just redoing missions, running solo expeditions, smashing crucibles, and the other typical base game nioh shit. If that's not enough then just put the game down until the DLC comes out.

whats ur guys' achievement percent in 3? I had like 85 just from beating the game, feel like they were even easier to get than 1 and 2

>>558638673

Only really tried for 1 since I had everything but 1 and I thought " I might as well"
And they are easier than 1 and 2 because hotsprings et all are shown on the map or after you redo a crucible while also not having the trash grinding ones

>>558638673
I was only missing the hotsprings and shooting the bird back in the Heian era ones when I beat the game.

More guardians, more guardian skills that are cool and snappy.
Also I think a small overhaul of soul cores is in order, so that they actually feel good to deploy in combos. Some of the lesser ones with more uses suffer from this because it feels awful to get stuck in this damn jogging animation just for flying bolt to gently slap an enemy and go away. Soul cores feel much better to use if you cancel them with a guardian spirit even though the speed ends up the same. They need to do something about the recovery.
Content-wise? Wish we got more antiquity

some times I wonder if we really do miss yokai skills despite only a real handful being used
maybe its why they thought it was okay with guardian spirit skills
maybe we'll get another quick n snappy one when we get a slew of third buttons

The DLC needs all the Ninpo from NG to be in the game.

>>558644452
The only good Yokai skills to me were
>Enki (jump evasion + long range)
>Mizuki (fodder/human clearer + mid range sweep)
>Ippon-Datara (pounding down fodder/human)
>Kasha (did good ki damage)
>Mitsume Yazura (good for building up burn with Kasha)
Then just slotted in a random sixth depending on their stat boosts.

>>558642852
That's a combination of two things. One of which probably maybe will be fixed. The summon time and the recovery. .

This is also why I think movement during soul cores should have been a skill
You can get the same shitty experience with volitional Onmyo and volitional Guardian spirit
If you move, they take longer than regular use and you lose cancel windows due to said movement.

Right now it's in this fucked up position where it both has a stringent timing to get a fast cancel (especially with the more the merrier).
Much like hatchets not scaling properly with elements (and I won't forgive the anon that tried to gaslight me saying that shit was fine and working as intended in Nioh 2 among other things that turned to be bugged afterall, No I won't let that shit go), I've sent bug reports in Japanese to the usual channels for the movement shit.

I'm not too irate about it not being cancellable with a normal attack and necessitating spirit force usage
But, movement cucking the cancel points shouldn't be a thing.
The other issue is that if you cancel it too fast when you DO stand still you can sometimes negate the use of the box. This feels like shit. If you press that button that soul core should always be on queue to come out no matter what happens. I don't give a fig if that fucks with crouch cancelling.

>>558641604
Or FFXIV.

>>558645397

Actual Japanese, or Google translated drivel that will be ignored?

>>558645580
Actual Japanese, no I'm not fluent, I have a native I know from playing shitty gundam games do the writing for me.

>>558642852
Seals don't feel satisfying to use because it's directly taken from SoP's summoning bells, which weren't a central feature of that game. It was a small gimmick they added to summon Gilgamesh or one of your monster pets, the clunkiness there wasn't as much of a big deal because you could get past all of the quirks in that game by stacking different types of haste and invincibility.

>>558646347
>by stacking different types of haste and invincibility.
Felt more compulsory to defense stack in that game than any other.
It was extremely hard to survive a single hit from anything come final DLC through raw stats alone.

>>558646416
Yeah, it works in that game because the in-depth job system gave you solutions, if you directly port anything from SoP into Nioh it won't translate perfectly.

>>558645382
I personally used Kiryoki, Yasha, Magatsu, Kamaitachi, Underworld Soldier, White Lion, Fuki, Kinki, Nurikabe, Nue and many more all the way through endgame. Soul cores and similar cancels are not necessary for Nioh combat to be good but it's a waste of a system if they still design one for every single yokai in 3 and make them so clunky to use.
>>558645397
I've also noticed the running locking you into the animation and the early cancel part. The thing is, even if they don't want to alter the general balance of the cores, they could always just introduce more convenience via secret skills so they become an investment. The way things are I actually think being able to cancel the animation with a dodge would be fine. You'd have to be mindful not to dodge too early so that the summon does come out, and getting early recovery means you spend ki on dodge. It's still a tradeoff

>>558646715
Skills are the other part I've got a bone to pick about. But I'm usually wary of stating opinions like that until I've more thoroughly explored mechanics
But the more the merrier costing 4 is a bit of a joke. Due to the window of vulnerability there are almost no situations where you're at an advantage stopping your offense to summon one and, against human bosses, will eat shit for doing so.
Summoning basics being 9 fucking slots is insane given how low impact some soul cores are. Mysteries of summoning being a bit weak is one thing (it makes up for it by having an entire clan dedicated to more untouched) but that shit is 6 slots to and it is NOT equal to Mysteries of Onmyo magic when that's a higher value and results in higher damage.

That said we've been here before. It'll eventually get it's buff, if not in the coming months than when the DLC lands. So I'm not that worried longterm.

>>558647262
The value difference between those two is not comparable. You get more omnyo slots and thus more chances for untouched activations without resting.

>>558647664
We're saying the same thing, anon.
Though I guess I should have used the adjective "slightly makes up for it"
But as I said that shit is NOT equal to Mysteries of Onmyo magic. A lot of the 1 costs makes me think they balanced amounts with summoning basics in mind, because there's no hemisphere where the demon of pride is worth only having 1 stock of. It can barely even apply an element, barely touches max ki, and does very low damage.

>>558647947
Yeah I am agreeing with you, I guess I just sort of summarized it. The actual power aside, I've lost count how many cores made me go "wait, that's it?" Some are also incredibly tricky to use because they have low range, which is terrible in the context of their casting speed

it's uncapped afaik. after 55 your gain goes down to 0.5, and after that enemy bases and spikes respawn rather frequently after you kill enemies.

Stone Volley has okay utility for its massive range, has a really good chance on popping any yokai weak point lacks damage for the charge time
Undaunted follow up is okay if you actually block something with the new buffed undaunted, damage and ki damage is low despite the simularities to a certain 1kat move
Ground sweeper is your best ki damage and beats a lot of other weapon's options for some reason keeps you comically mobile
Soaring Fowl is what the old pole vault wanted to be, with actual damage and dodge follow up
that one jump hold attack will miss a lot more then normal strong in the air for some reason
the damage is okay for what it is.

Odachi has an abnormally high launcher which lets me do retarded air combos without having to break my fingers using crouch cancel shit. That's enough for me.

I swear I can do something to land another stitch kunai to keep this loop going longer but I can't fucking cancel fast enough into it. I know there's a skill that lets you do damage on mist. I'm hoping that will be the secret I need.

and then the skill that amps your ki regen when you purge a zone is really good

the first boss is harder than the rest of the game in both games so this is not the gotcha you think it is

>I'd say sacrifice the slot compared to the consumables but note if you're playing Ninja, there's a skill (Shadowclad) and a spirit (Tengen Kujuku) you could use to explore elemental weapons without needing to do either. Former is very short duration but flexible with guardian spirit/shadow art while the later lasts a while but you're stuck with no good guardian skill to burst counter with.

I run this build. As much elemental damage stacked on, not focused on one single element using the Thunder and Water Hatchets. It is a very effective mixed melee/ninjutsu playstyle. Stack all the elemental damage skill points with that GS and Shadowclad. Not having a solid burst counter GS move is abosolutely a valid point, and does suck.
>Open with GS weapon buff
>Melee to proc status
>Different element Calamity
>Melee to ensure status proc if not done with 1 Calamity
>Different element Calamity
>Melee combos until Confusion 2 wears off
>Repeat
It also helps the elemental Active Skills do fuckloads more damage. My Hatchet Lightning sheathe attack hits for thousands even without Confusion 2, just as an example. It is not as effective as just spamming Calamities and Onmyo. But it is a very fun mixed style that, I feel, allows for use of the entire Ninja kit. I wanted to make as close to a classic "Spellblade" as I could, and that is what I came up with.
I use the Sinister Tyrant set as well. Spirit Force Ignition is constantly applied to all elemental damage, so it buffs the entire kit. It does require as much Spirit Force recharge as you can. Also, I dont recommend using the Fire Calamity because enemies standing in the fire pools drains Spirit Force crazy fast. I stick with the other 3 Calamaties or even Fire Shuriken as their total damage is pretty damn good for how fast they recharge.

If anyone has any tips as to the the best way to keep Spirit Force topped up with specific armor stats, please let me know.

I think E is just better in general. Never mind the crouch cancel shit. Keep in mind if you do crouch cancel then your dodge also gets fucked up. Since it'll have to make your dodge and sprint button the same and will make your dodge activate on button release rather than button press.

>>558637079
when you get hit your next dodge has reduced distance, need to hold block while dodging to protect yourself from the next follow up and get out of the way.

The back attack angle on some monsters is just pure nonsense. its more like a spine attack. if you're not exactly perpendicular to their T6 vertebrae enjoy your nodamage as ninja, also fuck you they automatically reset to face you by your 3rd attack in the string even when they're staggered and out of ki. why? go reread the part where we said fuck you gaijin

Maybe not worth the full price considering "people" these days just don't like games that aren't bloated (though it is a lower budget game) and expect every games to play the same as the last. They skip over the tutorials and wonder why it's so hard because there's a lot of depth that's just hidden behind seemingly simple controls, a bit like how it doesn't look like ki pulsing does anything important at first.

They're deflect bait as long as you stay close, giving them too much range has them do their elemental ranged attacks and the spinning 4 hit attack. Deflect or block their attack then hit them with one or two attacks, getting greedy lets them punish you. When they do the fast 3 hit combo you can deflect the first then just hold down block and block the last two then counter.

Two main pieces of advice are Spirit Force (Evade), I've found that on pants or something is really good, and also Titles. Ninja has spirit force for Ninjitsu, I find that with the calamities makes maintaining Tengen a breeze.

I still just can't believe how much fucking ass they made odachi suck in this faggot ass game.
I'm trying to make inari/kintaro/wote work and it's just not fucking happening.
Even this first fucking faggot in the Shinsengumi boss rush is completely impossible.
-48% damage whike attacking? Nah man get two-shot.
+21% martial art damage +21% elemental weapon damage? Thunderbolt barely fucking tickles him, even he even chooses to attack into it. NPCs have always input read so bad it's just a joke.
Only thing I have to even break guard is Ground Sweeper, which I hate.

Meanwhile nin1kat is still justbfucking braindead, even without using the overpowered as fuck Calamatous ninjutsu.

His damage scales with your level too, so some of us Demo players who were high level with lvl 20 gear were getting absolutely clapped. I had to get that entire moveset down. His flip slam and grab were guaranteed 1-shot.

Unless maybe if you fought him in the most safe, boring, reactive way possible, Nagakura Shinpachi is unironically impossible to beat with an odachi.

this guy needs to git gud

>>558716843
From what I heard, likely need testing (I'm back in the grinding chamber after whiffing a bloodedge demon spawn), melee is more "Quick and Strong" attack damage rather than the universal damage boost it was in Nioh 1/2. Again, I'd suggest testing on Training Ground to confirm if this is the case.

Another thing to consider is the idea of stacking multipliers. To my understanding different damage buffs stack multiplicatively. Inari is so good because it's a 28% DMG boost after all other multipliers are applied, so it's not diminished because of martial arts damage or Equip Weight Bonus or Amrita Gauge bonus or so on.

>>558719379

Good news for you I do have two odaichi builds in the back so once I have the money (mainly farming now aside from my last yasakani), I can either join you in lamenting the pool noodle of a weapon or be a bundle of advice on making it shine. And I say this because one, he is light armor mcgee so combos should be possible to play with, and two, I have had experience with Odaichis from Nioh 2 so it's familiar territory (barring they're hated on as much as splitstaves).

>>558721035
>he is light armor mcgee
Well a. no he isn't, and b. he just throws Thunderbolt or Groundslam any time you try to preasure him.

Ironically enough the only shignigumi guy that gave me issues was the odachi fucker

>>558721189
I've mulched that man with ninja 2kat and they don't have good stagger/block pressure (let alone sam 1kat/switchglaives/tonfas/sam 2kat which all have gross mixups you can do against the AI). I can see issues with odaichis being slow but against an odaichi wielder it's likely more positioning to get the good punishes, again, open to them sucking but I also have experience with other weapons some say are mid but are actually good (switchglaives in fact kick ass, being able to use the skills as combo enders is so nice alongside Cylcone wind spam).

>>558721925
There's technically two odaichi lads in the mission, the first two are both odachis (first one is thunderbolt/groundquake lightning and the 2nd one is cuckoo's call fire). Of the non Okita group the 2kat that gave me most trouble, cuckoo's call can punish me when I was being greedy but the 2kat just seemed to have a higher toughness value compared to the others.

>>558723532

I'm not upset at the dragon horn loops, I'm upset at your negative sauce associated with it. GS skills combo extend because they start ki-regen.

>>558723720
Then it seems I'm looking forward to something good because testing 2kat on raw Swallowtail gear and it's doing amazing in the game-feel department. My advice if having issues is that Sign of the Cross Pierce is bait, you want it fast. God of the Wind (wind) might also be bait because its accumulation is non-existent but I am using 156+2 weapons so maybe at +15 it's worth being slower? Momentum is great, it lasts a good bit of time and removes the ki-issues that could come up going for extended pressure. And finally, if against a block heavy opponent, don't be afraid to high stand to start the Winter Wind blender.

I had zero issue with any of the human bosses that didn't have hyper armor but I also played tonfas. Mountain Breaker -> Demon Dash -> Pulverize (loop Demon Dash and Pulverize to ki break) -> light attacks on ki break -> grapple before ki recovers (Kannagi into Demon Fang if you're in the middle of a Pulverize) -> strong attack but maybe you can Mountain Breaker or Focused Strike -> final blow on the ground -> back into Demon Dash and start the Pulverize guard break loop. It's a straight up TOD combo for every single human enemy without hyper armor. For the ones with it you only need to learn one or two instances of Kannagi on their usually pretty slow and/or predictable combo interrupters. Okita Soji will always do his slow overhead hyper armor swing at the same intervals when you're wailing on his guard for example.

>>558723720
I don't use odachi but I use 2kat and can say that it's very strong.

they made it insanely fun in this game with the additions to samurai being able to combo moves from other stances + they removed the limit on sunset breeze/waking winds combos so you can just chain them forever if you want
it also just got some of the best new moves in 3 compared to the other samurai weapons
it's the best I LOVE THE ODACHI

>>558724728
not as bad as people make it out to be but still definitely the weakest weapon (at least of the ones ive played)
needs a lot of its skill shifted around to different inputs/stances and either a big damage buff or a big ki usage reduction
also bring back bolting boar on yokai

>>558724393
SotC Pierce is good, the minimally charged version has good forward movement on it while normal SotC doesn't have movement when minimally charged. It's still very fast overall, only the max charged version feels a little slower but it has more reach in exchange. GoW Wind is also fine, it's a little slower but it hits a bit harder while having a small AOE with that cool tornado. I actually have both versions of GoW set, Wind in mid stance and normal in low stance.

>>558725080
>Pierce
From my experience I prefer the damage of going full charge especially since I'm using it as a pressure tool so going too far could make me drop things. Can see that I'm losing out on backstab damage but I believe the pressure too good to pass up. Maybe in optimization (my shit is not reforged and have 99 magic for vassal-related reasons) I can get more comfortable for it. Currently testing Water Sword and actually being impressed with it. never my cup of tea in other games but cancelling into any skill really gave life for Samurai.

Should I go for Inari or Vaisravana?

>>558724116
it massively buffs ninja arts and onmyo so you can damn near one shot bosses with the hell spells so i guess it will be done shortly if it hasn't already.

>>558727743
Both are dogshit just like Nioh 3

Nin1kat/Sam2kat or Nin2kat/Sam1kat?
It's a katana themed character, so some combination thereof.
Could even go 2kat/2kat or 1kat/1kat if that's good.

>>558728904
>Sam2kat
might be the worst weapon ever designed

>>558728904
Nin1kat and sam1kat are two of the best weapons in the game. Sam2kat is extremely good and nin2kat seems kind of bad-ish.
I would want to say nin1/sam2 is the stronger combo but sam1 is so good it might be a tie.

>>558728904
>Could even go 2kat/2kat or 1kat/1kat if that's good.

That's what the nightmare sand is for. It's a guaranteed quest reward from side quests meaning you can farm them from fighting Hanzo (Demon's Regiment), if you unlock that quest.

how doable are SL1 runs in the nioh games?

>>558738979
Just say level bro

>>558739025
just answer me sis

>>558739104
Perfectly doable

>>558736221
>Sometimes spawns naturally
they respawn all the fucking time if you kill lots of stuff. kinda annoying...

this game is unplayable in coop
everyone plays like a nigger either one shotting bosses or running ahead to just clear everything out before the host even gets there

>>558740082
I was summoned for the bro bossfight and the second summon showed up, spammed an unholy amount of onmyo and 100-0'd him in like 5 seconds, then left. The host was left standing there looking confused.

>>558740031
I was more mentioning that the enhanced versions are "sometimes". I haven't done proper testing nor really plan too but it's random if you get an enhanced crucible or not, think it glows more red (visible in the sky) if it is boosted but I remember doing one like that and it was unchanged.

i went through the whole game without dodging an attack by jumping I just kept forgetting that was an option in combat, and there are so many obvious "jump over me" moves in hindsight

I went through the entire game in co-op because the bosses are too hard

watch your step bro

Are "Negative Effects" and "status ailments" 2 terms for the same thing due to translation? I'm using Moonprayer set for a while but the wording isn't clear enough

>>558736086
used to actually teleport in the demo =\

Why, is he going to do something inappropriate when I'm getting the laundry out of the washing machine?

You can fuck Ibaraki, but you will also be fucked by Shuten. Do you accept?

>>558745258
That's a win-win in my book

Really?

how to get a better version of bandit leaders odachi?

redpill me on SOP
do I need to know anything about FF

You now remember nue the most based boss in nioh

Impurity Transfer Doll onmyo (nuribotoke) is really good. It doesn't transfer the negative status effect until it hits the enemy, but you can get hit with elemental attacks on purpose and immediately transfer them over. Great for bosses.

>>558743432
Post a video of you beating any boss with an odachi and no ninjutsu
And by boss I don't mean some basic human mook like the filler guys in the boss rushes

>>558749008
too busy with ur mom lol

gee ninja 2kat, how come your mom lets you have TWO yokai parries?

so is everyone elses strategy for killing normal yokai to just delete them while theyre busy putting down a yokai realm?

>>558750173
That's not much of a strategy though, it just happens naturally

>>558747482
you get any thing else, and slap on the skin

is there really no option to hide your second weapon like 1 and 2?

>>558754271
gotta save something for dlc

>>558746021
I was making a "step bro" joke.

>>558747153
Rotr is actually good though
Wo long is mid af

>>558749417
To make up for samurai 2kat's parry window only being 8 frames and parry window extender skills not working on it

>>558754662
RotR is fucking dogshit.

>>558750173
Yes? How is this a question

>>558754662
I enjoyed my playthrough and the overall story but I wouldn't say it was "good"

>>558755928
It's better than Wo Long, but that's kind of damning with faint praise.

>>558757150
That poor bottom one is suffering

is imbue element any good on weapons or is it just outclassed too hard by talismans?

>>558754861
i thought other people might enjoy playing the game properly

>>558757718
Seemed to be okay for applying status with 2kat, but only with the 20's, but you might as well not bother since ninjutsu applies status better regardless and tou need talismans for shit like inari.

>>558723720
That's retarded. Random Slice alone now is better than the entire Odachi moveset.

>>558757820
>playing the game properly = respecting the yokai's personal space and letting them get up and ready to face you again without exploiting their moment of weakness

>>558757718
Unless it's a crucible or rare effect imbue it's completely worse than talismans

>>558758002
youre being very problematic chud

Where do you get the smithing text for the Flying Kato set?

I find it amusing that even in childhood games like yokai watch, that the japs always teaches kids to be weary the fuck about yokai

>>558758592
Wary. Weary means tired.

>>558758668
he has yokai fatigue

>>558758715
I have a fever and the only cure is more cute female yokai

>nioh 3 yokai

>>558759374
it cant be helped when a lot of the yokai in N3 are brats and their fucking jailer wards

>dragon grapples are all strict upgrades
>still cant use them because their animation is so long it ruins the flow of the game for me
goddammit i wish i wasnt this autistic and could just use them

>>558747775
It's a fun nioh lite.
Not really any need to know about FF.

>>558747460
the most fun thing in SoP was using the axe throw move that hits big bosses like 50 times

>>558747775
the story is even less coherent and the writing is even worse than nioh, but it's a fun game. you might be tempted to try to max out every job, but ng+ unlocks fancier versions of every job so specializing is gonna be better, in general

・Fixed a bug that caused the hit timing of the Martial Art Deflect to be shorter for the Samurai weapons dual swords and cestuses than for other weapons.
