>What should I do with the armor/weapons I don't want/use? Check if you can donate any at the hidden teahouse for daily/clan rewards. Otherwise preferably disassemble them. You can also sell them to Tome or donate to Danjo at the Teahouse if you need a bit of extra glory or cash. Later on you'll be keeping them for Soul Matching, but don't worry about that until you get to NG+.
>The blacksmith is expensive, should I be using it? You don't need to. Throughout WotSamurai and WotStrong you will constantly be finding better gear and builds don't matter so much. Soul Matching is expensive and intended for late game. If you do find a weapon you really like, try reforging it's effects using spirit iron, it's the cheapest and easiest way to improve a weapon.
>Why do people keep mentioning "smithing texts"? Bosses tend to drop pieces of their armor and weapons when you defeat them. Very rarely they will drop a smithing text which allows you to forge their armor/weapon.
>Which clan should I join? (clan unlocked through progression) Whichever one has a bonus that you think will benefit your build the most.
>Sanada Yukimura is a true honorabru samurai!! >shoots you with his pistol >spends half the fight flying in the air like a coward
Leo Reed
It's more likely you will get killed if you do that into multiple enemies. It doesn't even seem to knock them down.
Austin Wright
git tanky
Dominic Gonzalez
How are spears damage-wise? They seem to kinda suck, especially compared to swords/dual swords.
Jacob Murphy
>he doesnt know
this is sengoku, the only thing that matters is you serve you lord
Asher Green
twisting spear can dish a batshit damage output on huge range, chidori is really good with stability, lw wild spear is a good dps option, especially on confused enemies it won't outdamage dps weapons like kusari or 1kat but it has a combination of safety and damage that cannot be overlooked
Christian Carter
Is weaken melee damage/armor worth it?
Carter Rogers
>c++ runtime error crash after beating okatsu in NG+
Henry Walker
armor only torso, but it won't do much weaken melee damage is good if you tend to get hit a lot, basically often will turn a onehit into something you can survive
Justin Evans
Thanks for adding the text farming guide, opie. Now we just have to hope people actually read it.
Carter Sullivan
Flame dragon procs weaken weapon/armor on enemies. Can elemental onmyo shots do the same?
Jayden Garcia
>he doesnt know samurai didn't fly during the sengoku
so there's really no way of knowing whether or not that would be considered honorabru

What would the best possible stats on an Axe be? Specifically nigga samurais Axe.

dude the only person who gets mad at you for doing crap is one guy you can interrupt during his speech
other wise do what ever you can

Alright it was fun while it lasted, but this boss is the embodiment of bullshit
Atleast I made it through the main campaign, I'll just watch the rest on youtube
Landon Russell
Don't insult my husbando

don't you give up on me user
Hudson Myers
>samurai didn't fly during the sengoku True, that was more of a ninja thing.
Nicholas Cox
Change to attack to something you have 99, A familiriaty bonus A close combat damage 20%
You always want these three, rest wary how you like to play and what your build is.
Michael Rivera
Anything I should reroll on this?
Owen Taylor
you will swap it the moment you get into ng+
Leo Gutierrez
I cant fucking take it anymore, after getting my ass kicked for 30 times I grinded 50+ levels and got some gear from revenants and he still one shots me, I cant even get him down a third of his hp bar
Carter Cruz

felt kinda bad

lmao baddie
Angel Russell
but I got it on ng+, it's divine
Jace James
i don't know man. I'm willing to be flying would've been considered a little bitch move. I mean most of the bosses in nioh who fly are little bitch. Sanada's a little bitch, Magoichi is the lamest littlest little bitch in the entire game, etc
Colton Campbell
I used to like Yukimura before I played this game since I didn't know his story. In earlier SW games and Sengoku Basara he was just a badass hotblooded guy in classy armor. But now it's all kind of ruined because he was actually fucking scum. I really just felt bad for Noboyuki who got shit shoveled in his face just for having this asshole as a brother.
Dylan Reed
dude you have an invincible LW that protects you from harm
you have no excuse
Hunter Nelson
...
Jaxson Reyes
how do I get those? never get this shit with reforging.
Anthony Morales
Game didn't make him seem like scum at all. Made him out to fight for the Toyotomi. Made Ieyasu seem real bad desu
David Nguyen
Whats the best clan for dual swords?
Carson Thompson
Weakness talisman, dodge his weapon throws.
Aaron Jones
Nobuyuki seemed like an ass for betraying his family, though.
Connor Brown
>tfw skipped it and just did the DLCs lmao
Colton Bailey
Why is it so hard to parry Revenants? They attack at light speed
Anthony Thompson
not possible in this game. your health caps out at around 7k, and damage mitigation is pretty limited. you have to avoid taking hits.
Aaron Nguyen
Don't meme on me ever again.
John Harris
Just summon someone
Matthew Watson
with tatenashi you reach more than 60% damage mitigation before taking other factors like defensive buffs into account
Matthew Clark
how the fuck do you avoid the attacks of the big monsters that appear from the dust?
you dodge away and their attack animation still hits you coz they know where you will be after the dodge. this is some stupid ki shit
Brayden Wood
What is actually the best kunai build for WotWi? I hear people use either three hayabusa pieces + 3 iga with yakasini magatama or 4 Scion of virtue + 2 tatenashi pieces with yakasini magatama. Which set bonus is objectively the best for kunai spam?
Elijah Hernandez
Dodge backwards twice. Or dodge to their side.
Cameron Evans
I'm not bragging or shitting on you, but what level are you and what are you struggling with most? I beat him without much issue on my 3rd or 4th try. I'm around level 130 and was using
Liam Long
I have like 5 different 2 piece bonuses and 4 piece raging bull, all heavy armor. Doesn't do much without buffs+debuffs.
Dominic Bell
weird cutoff here, not sure how that happened was using tonfa and kusarigama
Ethan Young
>raging bull
Nicholas Fisher
If the attack you're having problems with is when he shoots his spirit centipede at you, set you framerate to 30. The turning radius on that thing is tied to the framerate and it's basically impossible to avoid on 60.
Christian Long
3 hayabusa is useless as damage buff from the thrown items does not apply to them either 6 hayabusa/1 iga or scion/tatenashi, i guess the thing that matters the most is having four thrown weapon x2 inherited by your armour and thrown damage bonus on the rest including your accessories which is the hardest thing to do
Gavin Long
How? Ieyasu served Nobunaga, then after he died he fought it out with Hideyoshi, lost, accepted it, and fell in line. Then Hideyoshi named him his rightful successor, and he crushed Mitsunari who challenged that. He wasn't exactly a general of Shingen's or Kenshin's caliber but he didn't do anything wrong. And Noboyuki "betrayed" his family to save his goddamn clan, otherwise him and everyone in the main family would have been executed and the clan would've gone the way of Imagawa. He was the only one being sensible.
Meanwhile Yukimura called for bloodshed once the land had finally been united and at peace, and fought a battle he had zero chance to win just to go out with a bang, while taking a few thousand innocent people with him. He was just a worthless selfish cunt.
Ethan Roberts
>Raging Bull Use Tatenashi.
Jace Myers
Since Hayabusa gives you infinite ninjitsu but lowers the damage to the bare minimun is it really better? Shadowround talismans work just fine for me and I would prefer more damage.
Jonathan Foster
>>infinite ninjitsu what? that sounds crazy
Julian Sullivan
More like Ieyasu was waiting for Hideyoshi to die and plotting to take power from the Toyotomi and had some of Mitsunari's own generals betray him.
Yukimura fought for Toyotomi until the end, like an honorabru samurai.
Levi Lee
>these jap names that i cant keep straight im going to start assigning the japs western names so ill actually recognize them nobunaga can be nathan hideyoshi can be henry mitsunari can be mike shingen can be steven kenshen can be kenny noboyuki can be nick yukimura can be bill, because there is no western name that starts with a y
Christopher Scott
it only gimps shurikens and they are worthless if you want unlimited ninjutsu, run nekomata + tanuki as a spirits and have one piece of iga + extraction/pleiades one LW will restore all your ninjutsu charges, and Nekomata is charged by one extraction/pleiades flame dragon
Hudson Green
is there a good all rounder armor set? I respec so often and use so many different weapons that my inventory is getting so cluttered and I just want to get rid of it.
Adrian Reyes
when in doubt, tatenashi or kigetsu
Wyatt Parker
>because there is no western name that starts with a y Yuri?
Adrian Young
Yuri?
Tyler Fisher

Jordan Long
Which skill has the highest potential for burst damage?
Asher Perez
Nioh 2 will take care of that for you.
Grayson Adams
>Ieyasu was waiting for Hideyoshi to die As opposed to what, killing him in his sleep or rebelling against him while he lived? He was loyal. The man himself named Ieyasu his successor. He didn't need to plot shit until Mitsunari led a rebellion.
There was zero fucking honor in what Yukimura did. Just a glorified suicide and an attempt to take as many with him as he could.
Ian Perez
is there a way to like make an item look like another? I really dont like the loop at the end of this sword i got from a revenant
Grayson Kelly
Go visit your local blacksmith.
Adrian Moore
refasion at the smith
Adrian Clark
I wonder how Tome smells after a hard day of work.
Nolan Moore
So if i've finished the dlc and the 1st 5 levels of the abyss withount even getting rid of the debuffs am I set for way of the strong with my current gear? Do I even get anything fromndoing every area in wag of the syrong or should I just try and clear it as soon as I can.
On a side note, where can you get the divine kaido and obsidian set? Revnants never drop it.
Jason Brooks
The DLC on Way of the Samurai is harder than the first few regions on Way of the Strong. You will breeze through WoTS now if you kept your gear up to date through the DLC.
Ethan Cook
I wish Tome had a bigger chin, she would look like potato
Jack Rodriguez
Just finished maxing Odachi profficiency. Which weapon do I focus on now?
What kind of onmyo/ninjitsu should I be using for buffs/debuff style
Noah Fisher
>24 It felt more like 60. I was so fed up by the end that I summoned somebody.
Can say, I am not looking forward to the Twilight version or the later fight.
Isaac Stewart
Beat maria just fine but can't beat THE DRAGON OF THE NORTH in sub-mission form what happened?
Chase Ross
>didn't know this table existed >look around menus >there are two different prestige types
Ryan Foster
But user you still have to beat her and her husbando together.
Xavier Price
Which is what I meant with "or the later fight.".
Bentley Cook
He's ezpz in the story mission because he only spends half the fight in super saiyan mode. In the sub mission he goes all out from the beginning like Yukimura.
Zachary Foster
isn't having multiple 2 piece bonuses better than one big bonus? raging bull 4 piece is pretty good. Unless they don't stack?
William Foster
This game has lots of detailed menus, check out the gameplay record, tons and tons of details about your personal stats.
Gavin Nguyen
Fighting humans is infinitely more fun that fighting yokai
Thomas Miller
Is Dual Sword/Kusa a viable build going forward into NG++/NG+++? Or should I abandon it now and become more comfortable with a better build while I'm in NG+?
Thomas Perry
Do I just wait it out? he seems to have infinite stamina, I have been just using ground fire traps and trying to cheese him
Oliver Hall
You can't wait it out, as soon as it's gone he triggers it again.
Julian Barnes
kusa is the most powerful weapon in the game
Austin Adams
I don't remember reading that Hideyoshi named Ieyasu.
Also since this topic stemmed from Spirit of Sanada, that definitely didn't paint him as loyal to Hideyoshi, it made him look like he was constantly plotting until the right moment.
"After his death, the other members of the Council of Five Regents were unable to keep the ambitions of Tokugawa Ieyasu in check. Two of Hideyoshi's top generals, KatÅ Kiyomasa and Fukushima Masanori, had fought bravely during the war but returned to find the Toyotomi clan castellan Ishida Mitsunari in power. He held the generals in contempt, and they sided with Tokugawa Ieyasu. Hideyoshi's underage son and designated successor Hideyori lost the power his father once held, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was declared Shogun following the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600."
Just pulled this up right now.
Gavin Smith
Tatenashi's bonuses outweigh a bunch of two pieces. Run Tatenashi with Yasakani Magatama to only require four pieces of armor then fill that last armor slot along with weapon slots with other pieces to get some two piece bonuses.
