>What does each element do?

>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.

last samurai is a fucking marathon I thought that would never end.

At what abyss floor can I just stop rushing the boss? At 11 right now, no end in sight.

depends on your gear

If you've done WotN, probably 30ish.

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

oes dual bloodstained hatches have a smithing text?

no

fffuuuuuck

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.
