>What should I do with the armor/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 armor and weapons when you defeat them. Very rarely they will drop a smithing text which allows you to forge their armor/weapon.
>Which clan should I join? (clan unlocked through progression) Whichever one has a bonus that you think will benefit your build the most.
Can anyone tell me what makes Elemental Damage Reduction (Guarding) 100% so useful? I hear people saying firearms reduction and elemental reduction guarding are basically ezmode, but I don't see how elemental helps at all.
David Lopez
Just to note. the "information" in the OP is meant to be "DLC information" I don't know when it got cut out.
Isaiah Davis
Nue user here, just got done with Okatsu and Honda.
Are the Tanuki or Deer Spirits worth looking at for a MAGIC/SPIRIT build?
Bentley Garcia
Just got to Way of the Wise and now it won't stop crashing when loading a mission. Looked it up and it seems there was some kind of save corruption bug on PS4 and it looks like it was never fixed.
Kevin James
i feel guilty about cheesing this boss I was stuck at..
I just used spirit talismans to apply discord and beat the shit out of him
Also is 109 too low level for dlc? Most revenants I see are way higher than I am

Actual elemental spells are definitely more exciting than all the self buff/enemy debuff shit

If we get a Nioh 2, what would you like the setting to be?
>Genpei war >Nobunaga's rise and fall, ends at Honnoji incident >Hideyoshi establishing his rule and uniting Japan, ends after he dies and the status quo at the start of this game is established >the previous two combined >Boshin war

it's worded weirdly but it doesn't say that at all >Allows you to ready 3 [element] Shot Talismans. Imbues your projectiles with the power of [element] when used.

Colton Reed
Well, i want to get Okatsu transform, and that's 100k glory
Why the fuck are all the females so expensive? Sexism
Jackson Rodriguez
I'd prefer a more character driven narrative. It doesn't have to be an epic emotional story but I think a chronicle of the PCs life over 10 years as they wander Japan slaying demons would be cool. Do you guys think rooting the game in factual Japanese history is to its strength or would it benefit from being more fictional?
Luke Sullivan
do yokai realm with a companion just got 3k glory for ng dlc twilight mission
Leo Jackson
>rooting the game in factual Japanese history is to its strength
Definitely. I love that aspect. And I agree with you on a stronger focus on characters. Not just for the protagonist, but everyone. Give them some bigger role instead of just existing only to have an intro, be fought once, and forgotten.
Oliver Adams
Because William is a man, it takes more effort to transform into the opposite gender.
William Moore
So I heard you can play as Fuku now, I updated my game and launched it but then dropped it again when i saw how much glory or whatever it costs to buy her skin
I just want to know what she has under her skirt
Thomas Wright
Do you seriously not notice how maby attacks do elemental damage? Did you not know that taking 0 damage from an elemental attack means no debuff buildup? Do you just not know what the debuffs do?
As long as you have divine gear you are fine for the DLC. The levels wont make as mich of a difference as your gear at that point.
It still references “projectiles”. Plural. Though watching the video should be enough to explain it. For a long time I didn’t know the skill videos existed so I understand someone being turned off by the description.
You can get like 5k glory or more on a good run on top of easy umbracite and more cups to use for increased divine drop rates. Also its not uncommon for your host to start summoning a bunch of revinants for you two to double team and beat in seconds. I’ve got 3 of the girl transformations so far and I haven’t even unlocked a 4th region in way of the demon yet - i skipped way of the strong.
Ayden Lee
Is that a canon reason?
Sebastian Nguyen
don't sass me boy
Henry Wilson
>Do you seriously not notice how maby attacks do elemental damage? Did you not know that taking 0 damage from an elemental attack means no debuff buildup? Do you just not know what the debuffs do? Don't be a patronizing fag. What I'm getting at is that virtually every hazardous elemental attack also apparently falls under the category of "firearms reduction" and I haven't yet encountered an elemental attack that seems to bypass it.
Ayden Clark
Fight against Nobunaga and Obsidian Samurai. What can I use to make this fight easy? Never used anything cheesy before, but this fight just killing me.
Jonathan Butler
It pisses me off how this game is more about managing your dpad hotkeys than anything else
Parker Johnson
Elemental defense while guarding is much easier to max out than firearms protection and works on stuff like breath attacks and lasers where I don’t think projectile defense counts. I think the main benefit is that you can throw it onto pretty much any set and still have left over inheritable armor slots to work with.
Thomas Brooks
it pisses me off how you can't just nut up and stop sucking dick
Eli Cruz
>Tanuki as your secondary Didn't Tanuki secondary is Strong Attack Damage? This help with a Ninja Hayabusa build?
Nathaniel Thomas
blacksmiths are for ____
Brody Adams
How can you get Tome to switch to these clothes? I like it more than the yellow one.
Julian Rivera
Notice how you get an extra bonus depending on your pair of spirits? Two of the same element boosts elemental damage and whatnot? Tanuki and Neko get extra ninjutsu recovery after leaving living weapon. Turtle and peacock give you life recovery on onmyo hits. There are others but that is all I remember offhand.
Basically if the two spirits are related somehow odds are they get a unique bonus.
Asher Reyes
hit my first wall with 100 eyes, game crashes everytime i get him to half health lol
Oliver Anderson
Oh, that's really cool, thanks for the explanation.
Logan Parker
Are tonfas fun?
Like, they're fast, and being fast makes you feel like you're doing a lot even if you aren't. But do they become stronger than they are with combos and shit? Because katana and odachi just steamroll everything, and spear's a pretty safe weapon choice.
I just want something that I don't see every single fucking person using.
Ayden Ortiz
The only guardian really worth considering for magic is Hi-Nezumi. Unlimited Onmyo is too fucking good to pass up.
Ayden Perry
They're fun as fuck. They're weak as hell though, your damage will have to come from inflicting status ailments and ki break/grapple spam. They do a shitload of ki damage, you'll just have to play a bit differently.
Brayden Morgan
They excel at Ki damage so if you play into that and grapples and shit they are fine. To me they felt like a lot of work without much to gain compared to other weapons though.
Henry Watson
Daiba Washi + Moment Talisman will knock him down to do a critical. Or Sloth. Keep those for his 1kat phase, his axe phase is easy you just have to wait for him to do a slam and then hit him a couple of times. He really has wide openings when he's using it.
Brandon Johnson
speaking of Tonfas, how do I kill the nine-tailed fox with them?
Sebastian Torres
Some people say win7 compat can get you past that guy. I didn't have the problem myself.
Dylan Gutierrez
Just got the ability to equip double guardian spirits, trying to find a good combo.
These are what I'm using now, but I feel like I want something good to use talismans on. Neither of their attacks seem to be that great
>game looks like it's a generation behind and the levels are small but have to run it in medium resolution scaling to maintain 60fps
Fucking koei and their shitty ports.
Jace Roberts
>maxed out tanuki + neko basically fully restore ninjutsu
Jesus. Why did they treat Ninjutsu so fucking well and then totally hose Onmyo? Iga is available super early and recovers like half your shit from the two piece bonus, then they hand you that spirit combo on top of it simpy for starting the DLC. You can reach nearly 100% recovery before finishing Way of the Samurai. Not to mention dex scales directly with an entire weapon type.
Meanwhile Onmyo gets a fucking 7 piece set in way of the god damn wise and thats fucking it. You want a magic weapon? Hope for Change to Attack Magic to throw you a bone, but still come up short thanks to no natural scaling.
Kevin Phillips
>game looks like it's a generation
Connor Martin
oh man this odachi seems perfect
Dylan Price
Which part was confusing for you? The likes of Ass Creed Black Flag, Sleeping Dogs or Batman Arkham City not only have a significantly better graphical fidelity and render areas several times as large and densily populated with NPCs and objects, but run MUCH better too.
Jacob Bennett
all of this ubitrash is notorious for having garbage pc ports
Adrian Baker
nvm fixed it
Nolan Sullivan
In that spider mission, I thought the Hiragumo fragments were just for getting the teahouse/Itokuri. Why am I still getting them in way of the strong?
Hunter Parker
but only Ass Creed was made by ubisoft in that list
Nolan Davis
Uh huh sure kiddo. And yet even that garbage puts this to shame.
Andrew Miller
Each fragment you get removes a peice of leg armor.
Carson Russell
I got the same one off a rev in the twilight mission
Matthew Brown
jesus christ how do I beat that bitch Maria, fuck that infinite ki super armor whore that 2 hits you and has a million fucking hp

Weaken melee weapons goes a long way. Otherwise firearms damage reduction and practice I guess.

I got her in WotS with Daiba Washi knockup + critical with Moment Talisman (or the Onmyo equivalent). Then in WotD I used headshots to kock her down. I hate her so much, I wish there was a way to follow her to Spain to cut her harlot head off.
Chase Barnes
I'm a big fan of the genius strategist set from the dojo guy. Looks really cool and has decent set bonuses. Got mine all the way to divine 150+10 on NG+

I had to try like 15 times to get him

he's easier in this because you fight him later

Cant wait to see what lies beyond, but man, am I fucking up fluxes now. Are all DLCs post-endgame or can some of them be completed as side content, by the way?
Asher Johnson
they're 3 post game regions
Bentley Martin
>Finally unlock the last set of weapon skills >1kat reaches max proficiency
Guess I'll focus more on my secondary then. After I max my Tonfa's out what should I move onto next? I was thinking Odachi and 2kat for maximum katana.
Leo King
Post game and they destroyed my ass aswell, I had to do some ng+ content to get better gear before getting back to the normal DLCs I don't know if it's just me sucking or if not using Onmyo is making me weak af but that's my experience with it all ahah Enjoy the game friend

nope
I beat the mission, but died like 50 times. This is just beyond difficult. It's just pure tedious and evil enemy placement from hell. Suprised they didn't just make you fight 2 shigizane at the end.
Camden Jones
How the fuck are you supposed to use this thing

You swing the chain around and hit niggas far away then swing the sickle to hit niggas right in front of you. Shit dude it's not that hard.

Leo Martinez
Welcome aboard fuckin gaijin
Gabriel Wilson
Same here. Though I am sure there are some with higher base damage and less fixed stats. If you can roll some scaling on those, they would do even better.
That being said, despite now having a fucking sick weapon, I take even longer to kill enemies since they got so much stronger in the dlc and way of the strong. Even trash standard footsoldiers take more than the usual 2 high 1 mid combo. So I don't really see the point anymore.
Logan Murphy
>Forge armor peice 5% blue 10% purple 85% green. Fucking purple peice of fucking shit!

How do I into 1kat?

mfw my running mid stance attack with odachi does too much damage for something that is long range and fast

wait until you roll a star moonlit snow damage boost on some odachi
