/ng/ - Nioh General

Too good for this world edition

>What does each element do?

>Little things to know

Your amrita counter turns gold when you have enough to level up.

If you're going to sell your gear, break it down first and sell the materials because they are worth more.

Using spirit stones will charge your spirit weapon.

>What should I do with the armour/weapons I don't want/use?
Purple/Blue = Disassemble (Then use the blue mats to forge a purple if you have enough)
Yellow/White = Sell or you can give it to the kodamas for amrita and the odd free item.

>What does the summoning candle do?
It returns your guardian spirit to you when you die along with the amrita you collected, this saves time running back to your grave and also takes away the risk of losing all your amrita before you reach your grave

>Should I use soul match?
Honestly, no, not unless you have basically finished the game and have a weapon with some really great stats. As you progress you will get a steady flow of new weapons and armour that is better than what you have. Don't waste your money on soul matching until later.

>Why do people keep mentioning "smithing texts"?
Bosses tend to drop pieces of their armour when you defeat them, these pieces are good but they often require investment into skill or strength etc. Very rarely they will drop a smithing text which allows you to forge their armour/weapon. This is a great advantage because your forged gear has lower requirements and you don't have to farm the boss all the time for more pieces.

>How do I join a clan?
It unlocks as you progress, everything will be daijoubu.

>Which clan should I join?
Whichever one has a bonus that you think will benefit your build the most. Don't worry if the clan you chose is on the losing side (red or blue team), we've learnt this week that clans can change colour if one is dominating too much.

>all souls come and go in cycles
what did he mean?

where do I find broken bullshit builds

sloth+carnage+???????????
ur done

Nioh's atmosphere is really fucking underrated

add pheonix and 99 soulstones

make them yourself. it's not hard to tell what kind of effects synergize with other effects and make you strong as fuck

perfect

>Awakening
>cast speed so high can combo my melee weapons into offensive or debuff talismans freely
Is this the best mystic art in the game?

yeah it's hit or miss but there's a lot in there worth picking up on. lots of levels have unique standout designs like sekigahara or the ninja castle. for me the final palace was a big deal because of how much it feels like Shinobi

Does the revenant skin wear your armor, or is it a preset appearance?

It's the only one i have any interest in, as I don't really want to play as any of these other bozos

>Doing Random Encounters Torii Gate
>Player is a Soulsfag who can't resist checking every fucking item in the map
>Gestures towards Kodamas and then ignores me when I try to lead him towards them

I just had some fucker run off and risk his life a dozen times rather than come see what I was doing and where I was sitting. I was next to a new Shrine and the fucker just wouldn't fucking listen. He spent 30 seconds whistling at me to come follow him fight a couple trash mobs and grab a singular Kodama.

IF YOU SUMMON SOMEBODY, FUCKING FOLLOW THEM. YOU ASKED FOR A GUIDE/CARRY. I'M NOT GONNA FOLLOW YOU AROUND LIKE A DOG ON A FUCKING LEASH.

>typical Souls fans
Why not ask the e-celeb you're sucking off?

double duration is better in most circumstances actually

it's good but if you wear an onmoyo hat the duration buff is competitive. it's a huge increase and it applies to all buffs, not just onmoyo. when you consider how good buffs are and how much value you get from e.g. keeping up luckbringer for days, i'm honestly inclined towards the duration art

>reading a post on here yesterday
>guy telling his friend about drop spiders
>drop spiders?
>fight them
>Oh... they jump and try to stab you a lot. I get it.

Nope.

You have more than enough charges to last between rests, making them instant is way more important than simple duration increase and mage hat provides less than 50% of Awakening's effect.

But that's exactly what you're meant to be

if i summoned some retard and he just sat at a shrine forever instead of helping me clear the level then I'd just get rid of him

>Player doesn't understand gimmick mechanics for the level

People who fails to understand shit like:

>Being stinky means you can't heal effectively
>Smashing the water barrels lets you run through fire safely
>You can destroy Amrita Crystals to kill/free nearby enemies
>Gesturing at Nurikabe and Mujina

Just makes me want to fucking scream.

Why is Tadakatsu so ridiculously huge?

>People who think the Cat is dead

Beat the game alreadfy, goddamn. I hope we get him in the DLC when we save Hanzo

>But that's exactly what you're meant to be
No. I'm here to show you the way. I'm not gonna follow you in circles while you obsess about how to reach a single fucking dead corpse.
>if i summoned some retard and he just sat at a shrine forever
It was a new fucking shrine. Past dozens of enemies. It's actually one of the furthest away shrines in the game with a shitload of enemies in the way. We cleared it all and the first thing he does is run back to go chase bullshit instead of fucking hi the shrine.

You don't ignore your summon. It makes you a fucking retard in the extreme. I gestured rudely repeatedly and then immolated myself.

Because he's a robot

>get summoned to help someone
>refuse to help him
good job retard

Isn't it only 50% longer?

1. you won't have enough charges of 1-of buffs like luckbringer and you won't have enough charges of short buffs like kekkai

2. AFAIK it affects non-onmoyo buffs

instant is much better if you are trying to pop 3 things in the middle of living weapon to go full cheese but when i was just playing normally i preferred long duration

makes sense to me

Reincarnation?

dipshits like these two are the type of players that attack walls and mimics and get 1 shotted, then send their visitor an angry message

>I'm illiterate and don't understand simple english
I fucking slaughtered every fucking enemy on my own while he was slowly trying to navigate the fires. I carried him SO fucking hard and he was too dumb to even check out where I was or why. Never ignore a new fucking shrine. Ever. You're just asking to get blown out.

That doesn't hurt nearly as bad as people that can't fight the giant skeleton.

We didn't get Seiryu or Byakko in the main game. Suzaku of the South, Genbu of the North are in but Seiryu of the East isn't in the game at all and Byakko is just a boss fight.

>want to help someone through a level
>don't want to help them reach everything in the level

I don't do coop. But you're there to aide your summoner, not guide them. if they want to bumble around the level then you will too or you leave

So what's the katana of choice to reforge and optimize to +5?

>you're there to aide your summoner, not guide them. if they want to bumble around the level then you will too or you leave

This. You faggots who show up in TOTALLY RAD ENDGAME GEAR TO SHOW NOOBS HOW IT'S DONE are the worst kind of people.

I would have HAPPILY helped him be a completionist. If he had the fucking awareness to follow me and tag the fucking shrine first. You simply don't ever fucking IGNORE a summoned ally. Ever. We're usually trying to show you shit.

Shit niggas im really tempted to buy this at least to hold me over until Nier comes out. I fuking love bloodborne but i dont know if this being similar is good or bad thing. Is this japanese lords of the fallen?

>onmyo mystic art mission
>need to beat Nue with a wooden stick and few buffs

>I don't do x thing
>heres my advice on it though
really homie? are you serious right now

Don't forget the central animal that's sometimes a huge dragon and sometimes a kirin.

They can bumble around the level all they fucking want so long as they aren't ignorant fuckheads who refuse to pay attention to what I'm doing to showing them.

This fucker literally watched me douse myself in water and sprint safely though fire THREE TIMES and didn't learn how to do it himself.

fuck you

when i summon you you're my bitch

How was your day senpai?

Nah. You're a piece of shit who can't beat the game on his own.

You're pleading for help to make up for your inadequacy. Don't pretend it's anything else. This game is so fucking easy even alone.

it's not really that similar

the idea that "souls is now a genre and this is a good game in that genre" is pretty accurate

there are a large number of things that are worse or cheaper than a souls game, and there are also a large number of things that are much better than a souls game, and many things are different just because

i only summon in ng+

>Is this japanese lords of the fallen

No, Nioh is actually good.

as long as it isnt like the shit show that is DS3

If you want similar to Bloodborne then this isn't for you. It does not play much like a souls game, however it does play much better than one. The story, atmosphere, and aesthetic are also vastly different. Research the game first and see if it has mechanics that look interesting to you. Don't be a retard and buy a game without knowing what it is then complain it's not what you though it was like most /v/ermin do.

>tfw no dex A+

It's usually only a kirin in Japanese. If they go with the more traditional onmyodo then it'll be the yellow dragon since onmyodo is closer to tao. If they go with shinto buddhism then it'll be a kirin.

go away soulsfaggot, aside from respawn mechanic this game has nothing in common with your series

Which mission even yields +8? And what's your LCK at?

Yoichi bow, eh?

If this user is still around, did you just summon for help against The Dark Samurai?
I helped a guy dressed exactly like you.

>the achievement to collect 30 dung

is this what hell feels like?

>tfw shit rolls

>spamming light attacks to stunlock enemies to death

seems pretty similar to souls tbqh

I finally got the effect I wanted to soul match

if your problem with DS3 is that it felt tired and lacking in new ideas then you will probably like this game

if you demand certain things like vague item-based storytelling and pornographic environment shots then you might not like this game

it's a clearly distinct game with different ideas, it's very refreshing but it also means that sometimes you'll prefer what souls did

most people agree that the combat mechanics are way better, the enemy variety is a problem, the level design is sometimes really great and sometimes really bad, it's really easy to make broken overpowered builds but you don't have to, there is a fucking fuckton of armor sets and options

>the devs unironically called this game "masocore"

I still can't get over that

>If this user is still around, did you just summon for help against The Dark Samurai?
No, i don't summon at all and mostly play offline first time around.

you need to soul match like +1 +1 = 2, +2 +2 = +3 and so on.

Ah, alright then.
Personally hoping for kirin since three dragons would be a bit weird and Masamune is guaranteed Seiryu

shit nigga you just convinced me to get this shit
sucks i got to be a set guy instead of my own character though

Ah, so it was just a coincidence then.

difficulty is a meme now, but it's preferable to 5 years ago when difficulty was an "accessibility issue" and "disrespected the player's time"

there is no character creation, but there are tons of unlockable character skins to choose from. no girls though because this isn't a shallow waifufag game

at least I got lucky with this charm

the hell does this even mean

>damage bonus less armor

wait what is this equip load?

It means he's a fucking idiot that forgot action games didn't have CC for the longest time

>Got poison on dual swords
>It's misspelled as poision
Nice.

here's my advice. after you beat the prologue (in which 99% of the game's mechanics are locked, don't judge the game based on the prologue) and you get to the first real level, sit your ass down and figure out the combat mechanics. they're very deep and you will have more fun and more success if you use them instead of chilling in one stance and bait-and-poking

the most fun skills to buy early are kicks, flux, and living water

>tfw no yasakani magatama
is there a good way to find these? they seem really important but i still don't have one

If you're not Tokugawa, you're a cuck.

We are getting three more missions at the very least, don't know what size or if we're getting a full region. There are at least three more spots for spirits in fire, lightning, and earth. Most likely Byakko is lightning given his boss fight and seiryu would be earth just to complete the elemental circle of the four corners.

That really just leaves fire which would probably be Kohryu unless they pull another Tengen Kujaku and allow element switching.

The localization is pretty hit and miss.

dunno mate I just did some twilight runs where you the charm as reward with 10 cups and I got lucky after 6 or 7 runs.

I don't use a helmet so I think it helps a bit, the others options are trash

Just cuz they havent had CC in forever doesnt mean it wouldnt be nice to have. I always make a dude and a waifu chara in any game i can do so

i've got 2 green charms with +25% damage against poisoned enemies, it makes poison really viable. but inflicting it with a weapon is far inferior to just using poison gas

>clan battle gives me 40k Glory
>enough to buy all the costumes

sweet

Are you fucking retarded? Just use the "invisible helmet" option.

you know you can just disable the helmet appearance in the options right?

Unless the game adds a helmet for the youngblood armor I'm not using one

That's the most autistic shit I've ever fucking heard.

You deserve to be retarded.

I'm afraid you have 'tism
Gonna have to put you down

Thanks I try my best

>if they want to bumble around the level then you will too or you leave

This. If you're trying to show them shit and they don't want to know then that's their loss, but you can't do shit about it and crying isn't going to help. If they're being bumblefucks wasting your time go jump off a cliff.

It's literally a historical drama with supernatural shit. Everyone in the game is a real person.

I still want to make a waifu character ma nigga

...

You could've just said you were a waifu fag to save some time

what armor is being worn in this webm?

then play a different game. waifus are for fucking, not for being. and there are some damn fuckable waifus in Nioh

how do you counter-attack/parry?

>Furuta
>Luck +40, Silver Tongue +10%

>Murakami
>Luck (Pirate Armor) +10
>Water Damage +10%

The fuck?

Is it better to focus on one weapon or can you spread your stats all over without being shit? I feel like I want to try all the toys, but not sure if I should pick one thing and focus on that.
