Nioh 2 builds
You will want to put Change to Attack (heart) on your sword once you get one that is worth reforging (use umbracite to get the attributes. Use him! Secondary doesn't really matter, but I like Bisha Centipede a lot cause of the pierce)ĪLL weapons should have familiarity damage bonus and close combat damage. (guardian spirit Kato is the best spirit in the game. Make sure you have enough spirit to get all the bonuses for the guardian spirit. If Katana is your main, then heart will be your main stat, then skill, then strength. Backwave and Haze are excellent against human enemies (yokai cannot be parried), and lai quickdraw is godly. Sword is one of the hardest weapons to master, so don't get discouraged.
in fact, there's very little difference between the two. I am sure i also need to still git gud but thats always a given anytimeĮthereal doesn't automatically mean it's better than a divine. I'm all for changing up my point of attack with some new knowledge but grinding.will not be it. If its the build that is holding me back or something easy like you said. I absolutely refuse to grind for days at this point to achieve any further success in Nioh. Understand this before any advice is given though. I have been rushing hundred eyes so I can reach WOTN so as to farm levels/gear from that first area.
#Nioh 2 builds upgrade#
I have read that putting the proper skills on weapons and attributes matters however, I don't want to make the same mistake I did last time by wasting tons of money just to upgrade a weapon or change it out with a better drop soon.
The bow, also ethereal and katana are part of that set btw.Īll of my armor except legs is ethereal with a 3p set bonus from vassal with a magamata accessory bonus. The katana is also Ethereal with wind, it just dropped that way and although I feel the katana blows, its the best weapon I have thus far with highest level and +22. I am now running an Ethereal brute's axe for the set bonus but I use katana main.
#Nioh 2 builds full#
I was running Hyabusa full set and dragon sword until it no longer was capable of doing proper damage. Right now I'm running a smattering of things.
Otherwise, a mistake is instant death and HEY I GET TO GO DO IT ALL AGAIN YAY.Ĭhrist, I went from loving this game to wishing I had the hard copy to smash into a million pieces and wanting to forget it ever existed. The reward? Not enough damage to be worth it instead of spamming the button to break KI or using skills to wind them down. And even then after practicing, im still only able to parry maybe a third of the time successfully. I hate the parrying, and learning it was god awful, especially for the faster weapons and the window is absolutely stupid. I'm not just not having fun anymore, im legitimately fed up with this game's artifical difficulty curve. Its not with the grind to stay at a consistent power level. I started asking myself why was I putting myself through all this? It isn't worth 5-10 mins of bashing 1 Yokai, and being vastly underpowered. I ran ahead and was able to get to WOTW by myself but with much struggle and then I just hit a brick wall. I constantly am out of money and just forgot about upgrading any weapon because it was vastly outperformed by the next level up. I just don't understand how any of you who went further than the 350 level stayed with it. The gear is a real tedium to upgrade and thats after you scratch your head at how it works as if the game expects you to know after its crap explanation. Its just utter BS at how stupid things get. I struggle to realize how anyone has legitimate fun with the ramp up that Nioh has.
#Nioh 2 builds series#
I feel I should mention I am a veteran to the DS series and I understand this game is different in its difficulty but seriously wtf. I was nothing but unhappy for most of it, especially the bosses. I love the original game and was excited to play it. I have struggled since the DLC into NG+ with Nioh.
