/ng/ - Nioh General

Pronounced "SNOW BITCH" edition

>What does each element do?
nioh.wiki.fextralife.com/Status Effects

>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.

>Which clan should I join? (clan unlocked through progression)
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 color if one is dominating too much.

>Pronounced SNOW BITCH edition

Okay. I was playing the game and got up to her, and I just came to this general for the first time wondering if the shit she was giving me was from a lack of skill on my part or if this is a genuinely tough boss

she's pretty easy imo but everyone struggles with different things

Are dual swords shit? Have like 25 points in skill and they still do pretty bad damage compared a basic raikiri with nothing invested in anything else.

Japs are either the biggest casuals ever or literal gods. No in-between.

Once you get the right moves it lets you tear through guards.

She isn't the level of difficult where I feel like I'm not making any progress, but it's very easy for a single mistaken dodge or badly timed attack to get that glaive in my chest

Either way, she's a step up from any of the other bosses so far

I know around 54% for Ninjutsu. The case might be the same for others.

There's a set that gives flat 30% unlimited elixirs so it might be higher for them.

>168558512
She gets much less fun when you realise you can just dash attack her to death

>invoker dies to sentry

Not very far in, but is there pvp in this game?

First image for best girl

They're kinda shit unless you go full Onmyo buff/debuffing.

Sloth+Carnage+def debuff+discord.

Tome cute

So does +2 and onward exist or does it just go to +1?

I have my headgear set to off as the Obsidian Samurai; do other people see the helmet?

I used to play fighting games with a pad and did it just like that

Moles are gross

Saved this for reference when I went down the path of lmao 2kat

>he doesn't know about 2kats unparalleled element stacking capabilities
>he doesn't know about 2kats ki management capabilities which literally gives you unlimited kin plus invincibility and an escape
>he doesn't know about windstorm II's effectiveness against literally everything especially yokai
>he doesn't know about 2kats unparalleled Pssh. Nothing Personal, Kid attack thats an i-frame filled free backstab/ki destroyer that opens yet more combos
>he doesn't know about sign of the cross II dodge/attack/freestun/yinyang
>just wants the slowest heavy attack in the game that 2kat out dps's 5 fold in the same time limit

More or less. I'll have to fight Ice bitch legit one day...

>revenant has full red demon
>uses sloth and raikiri

rather upsetting red demon is so prevalent as it's the best armour i'm finding currently

It has really good defense for an armor set that weighs absolutely nothing.

You can summon player NPCs and fight them, but there's no actual PvP yet, that will be added later.

>it's an autistic fuck spergs out online because he doesn't like what equipment someone else is using episode

How many times will we see it today lads

Heavy Armor is shit and a meme. Dont fall for it. Medium or light is the way.

>will be
Oh wow, so that's actually a guarantee?

Heavy armor doesn't provide enough damage reduction to be worth it anyway

I crafted about 40 divine spears trying to get that level 300+ bullshit
What's the trick to getting this to work

Wait, equipment goes past level 150?

Fuck, did just see the final boss?

Every time someone mentions the word "Sloth" or "Red".

I've seen people get level 320 shit through forging

No this is an optional thing you can do later. Nobunaga is the 3rd to last boss.

Yes it was already confirmed before release.
That said, what exactly this PvP mode will be is still unknown.

Yes.

Battle royale ffa clusterfucks

I've fought a few revenants that had hyper-armor when attacking, was that shit because of heavy armor?

Yes.

No it's because certain moves have hyper armor in the animation

Honorable 1v1 dojo only, no elixir, wooden weapons

I can't wait for the sloth talisman cheese

I'm not against it, I just hate how it trumps EVERYTHING I'm finding

which is depressing. I like to mix and match, but this shit is like 20+ defence higher than my onymo gear.

at least refashion is a thing so i don't have to cosplay as the crimson chin

Its going to be odd because this having Diablo loot if they let you PVP people with no balance then everyone will go to the most Op cheesy build available.

If they go with an arena type of thing where you choose weapon type and they balance it it will still suck because Axes and Hammers cannot compete with Swords and chain.

Can you get crafting recipes for every armor set?

I NEED the stamina damage bonus from Obsidian Samurai

No one is actually retarded enough to get hit by sloth. It's slow (huh) as shit.

Awesome. Assuming it has good matchmaking, I'm glad this general exists so it won't be completely dead in the next few years.

>Farming NG+ Demon King revealed for some better gear.
>All the revenants are level 300+
>All the gear they drop is 150

Does gear over 150 downscale when dropped by revenants (I know + value isn't carried over) Or are they seriously going around level 300+ in 150 gear?

Also what do the last two tabs unlock? Because the third tab unlocked 6th region, I don't see what's left.

>someone saved my 2kat schpeel as a pasta

No idea how you guys craft this lvl320 items when the max level gear that enemies drop are 150. You sure is not a bug and you are not supposed to have them until the DLC comes out?

You don't get 300 gear. You get above 150 weapons through crafting over a thousand swords but most people aren't going to have those and the fact that you have them may be an oversight.

I wanna use 2kat, what weapon complements it the best?

Also, Onmyo or Ninjutsu?

Mate, I'm not joking... but it was a handy reference.

Thanks senpai

Is there any reason to ever stop leveling up

I don't think you udnerstand what was asked.

no no 3 elixir

i would actually play that

Yes.

To make full benefit of that one specifically at higher levels you'll need at least one weapon smithing text too. Good fucking luck.

Not really since stats don't matter as much as gear or skill, so a level range for pvp meta is irrelevant.

No.

At least, not unless you want to gimp yourself.

...

When did you guys start doing the twilight missions?

Your welcome. It spreads the grand Word of 2Kat Supremacy.

Didn't bother until NG+

...

Wonder if we'll ever see anyone do a range-only run.

Recommend me 2 main weapons, /ng/

The fuck kind of enemies should I use yokai water pots on? Bandits are way too easy and I doubt they have any effect of monsters.

Its very doable if you plan on running through the levels avoiding killing any enemy except for the boss of the level.

And if you do plan on killing some enemies, you can get a skill (i think its in ninjutsu) which allows you to recover ammo from enemies you've killed with ranged weapons.

what's upwith damage scaling for co op? sometimes I'm doing my regular damage and sometimes it's down by a shitton within the same game

Is there anything in particular I should be doing for 2kats + spear and some utilities?
I've kinda just been leveling evenly most of the time

human bosses

Does Magic affect Elemental damage from charms or in general too?
Does spirit affect my living weapon's damage noticeably?

jesus your willy looks swole as fuck

I had this happen with Yuki Onna earlier. I had a co-op partner though so maybe we broke her brain.

Bout what I had, bump your Spirit to play around with all the spirits that show up, pump some stamina if you want to make some medium gears turn into lights.

get more spirit and skill

>tfw 15 everything except 25 spirit and 50 heart

KATANA BEST

Looks like he froze because the AI was attempting to get the steel ball it threw through the ground, but since it couldn't get to it, the boss just stands there looking gormless.

also r8 my fashogun.

Where is the recipe to craft the Kusanagi?

I think you're right.

Lovin' the blue / gold color scheme

>not getting a kat with A+ spirit and dumping all your points in spirit instead of heart

Anybody know where to farm the genius tactian's set? I have the cute hat but don't know where to get the other pieces.

I wish the robe thingy didn't clip with the scabbard, but the trade-off is it looks awesome with blood splatters on it.

tfw will never get that helmet

I wish to acquire this helmet

Am I Kelly or William during the final mission? I'm confused.

William steals oroboros and can use the spirit's ability to transform into people

>Nobunaga appears
>looks like a badass
>fabulous spirit
>shit's about to go down
>he opens his mouth
>sounds like a faggot talking into a fan

The one Kanbei wears? I think that's just random.

In fact does anyone know if it's even possible to get the smithing text for his or his kid's sets?

William.

He took Oroboros when he killed Kelley.

But cant actually select it. REEEE

I wouldn't fuss too much about the helmet, you can't refashion other helmets to its appearance.

I got it a few days ago, not sure when or how coz I found it in my inventory after blitzing through a few levels. it was a level 97 purple that I have since boosted to 150 and added 19 attack to it.

Unless you can find a jap wearing a divine version they crafted, you're better off wearing literally anything else, unless you have a Yasakani Magatama and don't mind sacrificing function for form.

But he stabbed it along with kelly.

Axe is better and I shall start preaching the gospel of it's glory soon

How do you apply divine fragments to crafting, I dont see the option

>I wouldn't fuss too much about the helmet, you can't refashion other helmets to its appearance.
that's lame, i don't want it now.

press triangle while highlighting the forge button

Literally impossible as its not actually better.

Triangle over Forge

>this is what katana players actually look like
Axe and spear only
Kusarigama honorable mention

kelley did nothing wrong

Pretty sure you can get schematics for any armor set with set bonuses

DUEL WHEELED
