/ng/ - Nioh General

>he doesn't fucking know edition

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

>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.

>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 and weapons when you defeat them. Very rarely they will drop a smithing text which allows you to forge their armour/weapon.

>Which clan should I join? (clan unlocked through progression)
Whichever one has a bonus that you think will benefit your build the most.

Repostin' from last thread:

Just got a -1 set requirement charm thingy. Whats a good clown suit to take advantage of this?

If I farmed another, would they stack?

How do I incorporate Iai unseathe into my 1kat game? I just use it to engage sometimes by standing what I think is the right distance and letting it lose.

Not sure how to use it mid combat.

Knockdown, down stab, then iai maybe?

nice outfit

Which one of you was this

I'm using it with 6 part Kingo and 4 part WotW
my close combat damage and damage from behind is pretty ridiculous

though admittedly that's one of the most boring things you can do with it is stack damage, tons of unique options that it allows. and no they won't stack

So I was thinking of rolling 1kat+gama which kind of works out since I also wanted to focus on ninjutsu as well since I had a lot of fun with that in the last beta. So am I correct in dumping my points in Heart+Dex+Body+Spirit and maybe a few in magic to unlock that initial stuff? Would this be a viable build?

This is just getting silly.

You buy a respec book and use Sign of The Cross.

shit what skill is that?

knockdown, iai, killing strike

sometimes you can get two iai's in

it's easy to do on shit that does drop attacks too like one eyes or onryoi

>tfw every piece 320+10

They don't stack.

Personally I think the cheesiest thing is to grab the 4pc warrior of the west bonus with whatever else you do, since 2 of the 3 pieces you need for that are weapons you don't care about. It's basically +10% damage for giving up one armor slot, you can still reach another 5pc through armor alone, or 6pc if the set uses a weapon.

I pressed triangle

>blow all my branches farming the bath house mission for yasakani magatama
>dont get it

also is the master swordsman the best 2kat set? The bonuses seem really good but it's just so heavy

Ki break into Iai, ground stab, another Iai when they're getting up (won't be full power though)

dmg reducation is quite nice I think with heavy armor your are literally invulnerable

I'd say focus on kusari over katana. So Dex+Skill+Heart to some degree. Dex because you'll need your Ninjutsu stuff.

Get Spirit to 25 either way, because then you can use all of the spirit skills. But don't do it right away, since early on you'll have jack shit for spirits.

If you're only dipping for Onmyo, just get enough for a few Sloth talisman.

Yes. Get the -1 magatama and use a light helm of your choosing.

So basically, use West bow, the West sword, 1 west armor, and 4 of any other armor?

where does one get these magatamas, different guy here

I thought the gama scales with Dex, why invest in Skill then?

is it worth it putting poitns into iai if I'm going for a 1kat kusa build?

youtube.com/watch?v=BIikwfR-yOs
stack a ton of luck

Skill scales like every weapon in the game, man. You're gonna want Skill.

on that level 320 grinderu

tell me a joke to keep my spirits up /ng/!

Reposting from last thread

Help a brother out getting into a Souls clone for the first time: what should I build for a 1kat & 2 kat set, stat and set-wise? Onmyo is nice but not super necessary outside of regen and guardian (trying to avoid sloth meme)

Oh and I just got into NG+, so don't have all that many greens yet

So I have the magic scaling dual swords shichisei-ken. Are there any other magic scaling weapons at all?

>GET 320
>IT'S PURPLE

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

so those prayer things are basically bonfires, right?
I only ask because I haven't died yet
also what do you lose when you die? it doesn't seem like there are any resources

you can soul match retardo and upgrade your 150 too +10 or else you need 20 milion.

amrita and your guardian spirit, without it you lose it's effects.

Okay so it scales with every weapon, but scales better with 2kat and guns then right?

HAHAHA
I ALREADY DELETED THE SAVE

It scales about equally well with damn near every weapon.

how do you get the spirit back?

touching your grave

How much fucking money do you have to spend for one point at the blacksmith?

But for next time, I can soul match a +10 150 to 320 and it'll stay +10?

retard do you think we all waited for green 320?

Whats the point of farming smith texts when you can get divine versions easily enough from revenants?

Except strategist armor, anyway. Anyone have divine set if that? Not legendary strategist, just strategist. If so, please put it on, kys and tell me where

>twilight defiled holy mountain
this is a nightmare

>solo twilight Bozu with no bonfires

This is living.

They don't scale with magic, they scale with onmyo power and the scaling is utter shit.

yes

Yeah. It's almost a free splice into basically everything, and end-game 10% more damage is better than a lot of other options. Certainly for so little investment.

Splice it into Kingo's 6pc, Red Demon 6pc, Warrior of the East 6pc (or 5pc with West 5pc), Kaido 6pc, Tatenashi 5pc, etc. Free damage.

Because the vast majority of revenants use the same sets and you might not want those sets.

If you want any set besides Red Demon.
I want the Gallantry set, which no revenants ever wear. Been farming for the smithing text for hours though

I think I accidentally sold some unused locks, any way to regain them?

pls respond

You can buy them back from Tome.

What's the gallantry set do? I got the text while going for crusher titles.

Cool, thanks for the help.

nope, I mass sold everything instead of selling all my armor and weapons so they probably got pushed out along with some materials

any tips on how to get good with the axe? what skills/buffs are worth getting?

The best bonuses are increased damage to enemies with wind status, and 25% strong attack ki reduction

could you format this post a little better

Alright so it's cheaper to upgrade to +10 then soul match?

>tfw to intelligent to play kusarigama

Can you get smithing texts for this?

Is there a way to duplicate your save file so I can have two save files?

1) "Running Water Maedate Kabuto" location : "The Trail of the Master" sub mission in "Tokai" region

2) "Water Buffalo Horn Kabuto" location : "Memories of Death-Lilies" main mission in "Tokai" region...

3) "Shuri-no-suke's Kabuto" location : unknown

4) "Golden Shachi Zudate Kabuto" location : unknown

5) "Koreto-hyuga's Kabuto" location : unknown

6) "Khakkara Ushirodate Kabuto" location : unknown

7) "Rabbit Ear Wakidachi Kabuto" location : "Sekigahara" main mission in "Sekigahara" region

8) "Rabbit Ear Kabuto" location : "The Samurai from Sawayama" main mission in "Omi" region

9) "Butterfly kabuto" is obtainable from revenant in wrecked ship (where flying bolt is) in "The Conspirators" sub mission in "Chugoku" region...i got 7 other dev kabuto...

Anyone have any pics they can share of any of these unique drops?

you can roll magic scaling on anything but you can only have 1 damage scaling stat per weapon.

I got two questions for /ng/

>What's your weapon type of choice?
>What's your favorite stance?

Sword/Low Stance here.

I hate spiral staircases so goddamn much

Kusarigama High

I had a Female Demon Visor that I read was a developer one, but I don't remember where I got it and accidentally sold it.

1kat, mid stance

That depends on whether you have Intensity unlocked or not.

Either way Heaven and Earth, Cloud Crush, and Roar are obligatory.

is there even a reliable way to get luck other than helmet and charms?

10) "Female Demon Visor" location: the iga escape

11) "Wakan kabuto" location: bridge of bone

>Diablo loot system keeps this game alive. Without the loot system this game would be dead already.
Yeah. Dark Souls died pretty quick because its loot was all pre-generated.,

1kat
The high stance

yes Soul machtin

>"Khakkara Ushirodate Kabuto"
I think I found that today in the Umi-bozu mission.

that's ridiculously wrong

I have most of my levels in stam and my axe damage still goes up when i put points into str for armor requirements

Forgot I actually do have a pic.

do you have it available for refashioning?

prestige points, furuta clan, a few of the guardian spirits, there's a passive in the onmyo tree that increases luck by 25, as well as a luckbringer talisman which increases luck (but the exact amount it gives doesn't show on the stats screen)

the spider guardian spirit gives you 50

Nioh reminds me of how good Toukiden was

No, it doesn't show up.

Love all the weird helmets in this game.

Toukiden was garbage.

I believe user means you can have only one purple Change to Attack [Str/Stam/Sprt/etc.] as a listed weapon special effect, which is the case.

Axe/High

>any tips on how to get good with the axe?
Just use it
>what skills/buffs are worth getting?
All of them
except Earth Carver. that one is totally useless for whatever reason

it's like you're really Fred Flinstone
