>What should I do with the armour/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 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.

At what abyss floor can I just stop rushing the boss? At 11 right now, no end in sight.
Carter White
depends on your gear
James Flores
If you've done WotN, probably 30ish.
Austin Collins
you can rush to the boss until 40 + after that the status ailments like shortcuts blocked have to be cleared otherwise you get fucked if you are not crit lw
Caleb Howard
oes dual bloodstained hatches have a smithing text?
Joseph Morgan
no
Matthew Martinez
fffuuuuuck
Brayden Barnes
Using crit LW the only ones I clear all the time are torpor and paralysis. both are death sentences if you get a harder bossfight against masamune or something. With crit LW I can usually just ignore others though. As long as you don't lose LW status and can get the kill quickly it's all good. The one that calls in allies who spam cannons can be annoying as fuck and worth clearing if the boss is strong sometimes.
The only bad thing about skipping planes is you miss treasure rooms. I'm at floor 75 and I rushed there so I've only ever gotten 1 treasure room.
Matthew Martinez
>Torpor Mitsunari >always fall for the fucking grab
Jaxson Stewart
I feel like the bells and spectral paste were unnecessary and only serve to make LW an even more mandatory pick in abyss. Why bother creeping around carefully when you can be so much safer with LW. Especially when you know you have to clear 70+ floors before you even begin to see gear that is slightly better than the DLC area stuff. Double that to find gear that is only around +10 better. I know they wanted a risk associated with defiling stuff but the way you risk you good items and don't know the grace you get just makes people savescum and cheat the system anyway. I'm not sure what they were thinking.
Abyss should've been more like 20 floors per difficulty, to encourage people to play it as they went through the game. But also give those already on higher difficulties the option to jump straight past the easy ones. Also let us use own own candles and elixr.
Jeremiah Scott
>pc edition If I knew this game was getting a PC port I wouldn't have preordered this damn game. I'm too far in now to switch so fuck me.
Jackson Hall
trade it in for the PC version and use cheats to get back to where you were :^)
Carson Cooper
>he needs 11 elixers to get through everything
Matthew Walker
Literally no skill involved with using a LW build. Just run up and spam your strong attack or skills. If you can't get to floor 999 using just your own head and figuring out which debuffs to tackle, if you need to, and learning every god damn bosses' moves don't ever talk to me.
Eli Williams
When does the abyss start dropping WotN level shit?
Jaxson Reyes
Then sell it and fuck off, your port race is not welcome here
Adam Bennett
We should all post our PC specs and what sort of performance we how to expect. Also compare prices on trade in of the PS4 version. I traded mine in yesterday and got $20 for it (australia).

So 5 Susanoo 3 taitenishi 2 fanatic Or 4 Susanoo 4 taitenishi 2 fanatic? Or just a straight up Fanatic set?
Trying to just make a LW build so I can easily do the abyss to make my Hayabusa gear not shit.
Julian Thomas
5 kigetsu 1 fanatic fill the rest with whatever grace you have
Jaxson Thomas
Where do you get Kigetsu? Is it a grace or normal set?
Blake Collins
Normal set, apparently the phantom before yukimura in scion drops it, very common on revs and as random drop too
Robert Howard
Thanks, guess I'll get to it. Does he respawn/ drop a text or am I going to have to pray to RNGesus.
Christopher Flores
So what would be the strongest build using the double ethereal trick?
Hayabusa with izanagi and futsunushi seems like it would be really strong as well as using Izanagi, Kushinada, and Ninigi for their 3 piece bonus on a lw build.
Gavin Watson
He's right next to a shrine. Kill him and just reload if you don't get it.
Xavier Walker
Thanks my dude.
Jordan Jackson
Oh and when I say reload I don't mean go back to the shrine, just quit back to the main menu if it doesn't drop. Just in case I wasn't clear.
Evan Jones
Like leave mission or close game?
Henry Martin
Press the touchpad, go to options and hit return to title screen. When you load back up the game will resume from the state everything was in last time you used a shrine. It lets you take as many shots at smithing texts as you like without having to run the entire level.
Hudson Taylor
Open menu and choose "back to title". You will get reloaded on the latest checkpoint you did. Be aware that negates all the progress done since that checkpoing so if you get something you wanted you have to beat the mission and start anew to farm more. Still much faster than rerunning over and over again. Apparently the same braves are in dlc3 first mission too and they leave revs for doubledipping.
Xavier Evans
Holy shit, thanks. This helps a ton.
Jose White
I don't understand how defiling works. I give it my weapon and then there's a chance it'll go up in rarity, gain levels and change all the stats?
Ian Morales
You defile weapon and go kill bosses to up the counter. Max counter is 3. The higher the counter the higher is the chance of upping rarity and amount of pluses you get. No stats get changed, only grace is added if the item turns ethereal.
Jose Hernandez
Hayabusa was a mistake
Anthony Cruz
worth it for the izuna drop
Gavin Turner
you mean for anime fireball how come izuna is not an all weapon grapple, 1 (ONE) fucking job
Christian Flores
Is his full set even worth it?
Carter Robinson
The final bonus is a 21% buff to your damage with either of the set weapons.
Blake Cruz
So pretty eh? How big is the ki recovery bonus or it's a lie?
Adrian Wilson
It is pretty decent, the set's strongest feature is it's ability to cheese humans that block with infinite shuriken spam so things like masamune and sanada become a joke.
Ryan Butler
Say goodbye to all your Gimmick Onmyo builds, THE Onmyo build is here.
Ian Hughes
Which one's better for mainly low stance sword and spear: increase attack after dash-attack or the new purple close combat attack increase?
Cooper Bell
Forgot to show the full stats >6pc, Lowered defence when Onmyo item hits >7pc, Onmyo dmg inc by 40% when you're at full-life

do bosses on WoN have damage halved status or some shit?
Sebastian Nguyen
I think they have to a point some invincibility while spawning
Matthew Green
is there other way of farming umbracite outside of pvp or any online shit
Ian Morgan
You get umbracite after every abyss boss
Joshua Perry

I'm currently playing the "The Last Samurai" mission in one of the DLC areas (I think). I'm scaling a huge fortress that's been enveloped by amarita crystals and tree like roots. I'm now going floor by floor and first I had to fight moth man with 2 healing crystals in the room andbhe wasnt much of a problem. Now I have to fight the guy with Izuna again and WHAT THE FUCK? WHY does he hit so fucking hard? It's like they accidentally added a 0 too much. I'm used to the enemies hitting hard but I'm rolling with heavy armor this time and not a single boss hit that hard. Is it just me or did they overdo it there? It just doesn't seem to fit into the rest of the level or whole DLC, especially considering that he's just there as a miniboss.
Dylan Ross
Can extraction talisman be a good way of gaining extra amrita on ng or gains are too shit for anything but charging LW? Never used it.
Aiden Russell
man this fucking ass. I already beat him half a dozen times, why is he suddenly giving me such trouble?
Parker Murphy
I dunno about you, but I just poke at the guy when hes recovering from an attack and falls over
then dies promptly to my fully charged moonlit snow at abyss
Jack Lopez
shit for exp
Connor Wilson
it feels sooo out of proportion. It's really rare for me to complain like this but this can't be right. everything up to now was fair enough but just the mere damage output is too high for a fast moving boss at least at this stage. I don't wanna know how much he'd deal to a lightly armored character.
Jackson Cook
I'm looking for new fashion. What's the most dirty beat up looking armor set?
David Ortiz
Offering gear to shrines in WotW and WotN gets you a good amount of Amrita But if you have a stockpile of whetstones and Nikawa Glue, use those to max out familiarity before offering them. It increases Amrita gained by about 5x per maxed item.
Justin Gomez
veterans set
Sebastian Morales
Depends on if you need actually armor or not, mariner and genuis strategist are pretty beat up but they are clothes, all other sets are pretty clean so start looking at some lower rank generics like veteran or ronin
Juan Ramirez
I'll be refashioning so it's not a problem. Thanks for the suggestions.
Cameron James
is it me or are magatsu warriors arent really scary desipite all the attacks they do
once they're attacking, they're stuck in that string until they stop, and when they do they have a big fuck opening
they are a bit more difficult then the other two yokai because it takes a bit more then a bop in the head to get them stunned
Gavin Bailey
They are basically just namahage 2.0 but they go full autism instead of delayed attacks and are absolutely worthless once their arms are gone (if they ever stay alive because breaking arms downs them for forever)
Matthew Adams
What's a better skill now, bear's bane or lumber chop? Or better have both on different stances?
Nicholas Richardson
Bear's bane is faster and does aoe damage too so that's the better choice for me at least.
Liam Murphy
>finally got a second ranged weapon with the right grace
Noice. Are there any good ranged weapon traits that carry over to me melee weapons I should look for? I think agility bonus was one.
Jeremiah Parker
What's your agility? If B definitely go far equipment weight dmg bonus, agility bonus isn't worth it.
Mason Gonzalez
If he's below 30.1 equipment weight bonus isn't worth shit either
Nicholas Davis
Is that one ninja gaiden on vita a secent one or better pirate some ps2 one?
Matthew Morales
I'm at 9.1 equipment weight. A agility.
Lincoln Harris
>Just dunked on Jin on WotN. Fuck me y'all weren't kidding about Kigetsu LW setups. One step closer to a Hayabusa build now boys.
Thomas Watson
>needing LW to beat a HUMAN boss nigga just like, wild spear lmao
Jason Hall
You can have both, bear's bane is guard + heavy while lumber chop is just heavy
Angel Powell
Spears are for faggots
Samuel Miller
you're in luck then, I got a spear just for you
Camden Morales
They serve exactly the same purpose though so you still have to pick unless there's some secret way to use bear's bane which won't turn it into rumbling earth 2.0
Austin Anderson

William only needs his spirit waifu
Liam Barnes
Not really. Lumber Chop does more damage but is slower to fully charge, Bear's Bane has a faster initial hit and AoE afterhit but does less overall damage. Rumbling Earth does more Ki damage than both if it fully charges and hits directly.
Charles Ward
Veteran, Rogue and bandit. Veteran more so than the other two
Tower of London Guard Hat ? ? Maybe Gyousha's gauntlets or Samurai General's Mariner Trousers Mariner Boots/Ronin Boots
Not sure what chest would complete the look. Yagyu?
Lincoln Baker
why the fuck do people not ki pulse? like they rely on the dodge one it feels like a terrible deal if you ask me unless you need an emergancy break and know you can get way with running afterwards
