>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.

if i buy the Japanese version of the game, do the the characters speak English with japanese subtitles??

william and wewuz samurai are probably subbed in japanese

the game only has one audio, it isn't translated for english and japanese localization

What's the best male transformation?

Unironically Ii Naomasa with no helmet

saika

>Tfw game is stuck in Random Encounters matchmaking

So I'm in WotW and I still can't put more than 99 on every stat, is that a WotN thing or am I entirely retarded?

Ieyasu, mostly because I’ve had someone using the full Greater Good set bonus, Tanuki, Sohaya Tsurugi and the name to go with it help me out in the abyss and do a damn good job of it

how do I do co-op with lads on PS4, like if I want to help them beat a boss?

What determines how much glory you get from random encounters, anyway? I notice that the same mission can give more glory on a lower difficulty, what the fug.

It depends on your progress through the difficulties. Same as the donation rewards from clans

Enemies defeated, Shrines discovered, if you beat the boss or not.
Also you get more glory depending on the difficulty of the mission.

>tfw you get an obvious hacker thats oblivious to the game mechanics
Cunt breezed through every enemy doing obscene amounts of damage considering its NG+ or just NG difficulty.
But he seemed to have trouble with the Saika Clan boss, one of the easier bosses who you can just kunai for free damage every few seconds.

Newfag here, how the fuck do I use iai with dual swords

Sign of the Cross, it's its own ability.

nevermind my eyes don't work

I was trying to get it to work for about 5 minutes before realising iai was a single sword skill, rip

You set up a password in the online settings

How the fuck do you spam way of the cross/Iai like this shit my shit never works like this.

youtube.com/watch?v=h53l6nxKQuI

I'm about to start the first DLC. How fucked/prepared am I? I make ample use of magic and ninjitsu, and my weapons are 1kat + spear.

I like that sword, midstance is the best for 1kat

what thats like the easiest thing

Should be fine my gear is like barely +3-4 and I'm on 3rd dlc now.

Yeah but how does he chain them like that my shit never goes off a second time without taking like 3 seconds

How do you get stuff to +1/+2/+3 ect?

You get them as drops and can soul forge them or just replace stuff if it's way better and has right rolls.

>he doesn't drop anything special
I have a bad case of "i like to kill shit at least once"
Doesn't really count if you do like 20% of the guy's enormous hp pool and then he drops like a sack of potatoes

what's the fastest way to get glory for waifu skins
after beating NG i only have 600 from the few revenants rezzed by biwa-bokubokus

do i just beat revenants up over and over again for 10 hours until i can become ninja waifu or maria?

>Level 30 Kato

Co-op. Go to the torii gate and get summoned as a visitor for randoms, you get like 2k+ glory per session. On long sessions you can get up to like 10k glory.

It's a bit dumb how specialised effects are barely better than generic rolls like close combat damage. Like, why would you ever take yokai CCD 22% or skill damage 22% over CCD 20%

>+damage to Dweller

thanks, nioh

>Hyakki Yagyo

HOLY FUCK

and then you get summoned to fight umibozu to ad infinitum in which host keep getting lazered/fall into the water getting jack shit glory

i killed an afk host with burning jars and got 200 glory for it

waifus, here I come

its not really that special when you realize how easy they all are

Legend.

I was thinking about rolling that on a ranged weapon to see if it would still boost melee damage. Wouldn’t hurt for shit I just am not that good at fighting or to help speed Umi Bozu along when I don’t have fire on hand.

>Random Encounter

Dudes at the first shrine area walk up he walk s past me figure he's goingn to afk for a second or something.

>Host has died.

Turn around to see his grave in the water.

What the fuck did I just join into that this guy suicided himself in the water at the starting area.

You can roll fire damage % on it and get damage to scorched on something also to speed it up.

What's a good place to farm for ethereals at wotw? Bosses hp pools seem to make game a little bit TEDIOUS with lv.200 +15 weapons. Wotd didn't feel like much of a challenge and now this.
Or shold I do abyss or something?

Friend sent me this on discord, his friend couldnt beat bat bitch and this happened

>The absolute state of PC Gaymers

Is this some kinda fucking new joke or some shit to let someone carry you through the entire area lead you to all the shit and then kick them out at the fucking boss room.
Like wtf this is like the 3rd time this has happened.
It's hard enough to get into coop without some faggot kicking me out at the boss.

What a fucking rager holy shit like seriously have some fucking restraint.

Ethereals don't really give that much more damage, they're more about the special effects you can only roll only on them

I would suggest doing Request for Ginchiyo or cheesing Muneshiggy for gear. Don't worry that much about getting ethereals yet, they're not needed for progressing

Tell him bare-handed builds suck

man I spent over half an hour until I finally got the crusher title for that shit
it's just so annoying that they always manage to hit you with some tiny little shit

I swear people don't know how to block or someshit. Walk into spider boss guy instantly tanks 3 hits to the face doesn't even try to block or dodge. I didn't even have time to hit the boss.

Some hosts are too scared to even hit the boss so they throw bombs and shit that does no damage

What a fucking manchild. Now mommy will have to buy him a new monitor.

what a baka
if he used a hammer he would have been able to ki pulse after.

If you purchase it from skill tree, ki pulse puts you into iai stance.

>A Defiled Holy Mountain

this mission is lame as dog shit. If the rest of this game is me having to Jojo reference against 10+ enemies at once nonstop Im just gonna drop this shit

I can see why so many people I get in my games instantly sloth bosses cause they are scared I'm going to die to it before they can help lmao.

Whos your favourite spirit?

Paired Raiken a QT

Moth waifu. She's not that great but she tries her best

I don’t use sloth because even though they’re slowed,it throws off my timing and I admit I’ve gotten carried away and not kept an eye on the sloth debuff for when it runs out. It has killed me before.

No one responded my question last thread: how or when do I unlock getting the stats to 200? I'm almost lvl400 and doing WotW

Cute and good stats. Also guaranteed lightning debuff with their attack

>ywn have a Raiken or Kodama plush

peacock, it's top tier but still manages to be a hipster choice because it's not kato

wotn

WotN

Yeah, Sloth is only good if you can kill the boss in its duration

Lore-wise: bat, because he is a "haha dumb roaches, dance" edgelord
Aesthetically: hiragumo spooder
Mechanically: any water spirit because water is the best element
Sexually: moth

Beat Hundred Eyes on WotW

I don't use it either cause I feel like the hitboxes linger that much longer and I don't like it.

But I got no control over the people who join.

>tfw reduced action speed (ninjutsu item hits) and unlimited shuriken

How do reincarnation scrolls work?

I get to relocate my stat points and ninju/omyo/samurai skill points all over again?

What does the ninjutsu damage bonus from iga actually do? My weapon AR does not seem to change.

It boosts the damage of ninjutsu. Why would that have anything to do with weapon AR?

Book of reincarnation resets your level and refunds all the Amrita you spent on levelling along with any points you obtained by locks of hair. Koan Manuals reset your prestige points

Guessed as much, fug

The tooltip says that it improves the damage proportionate to your ninjutsu mastery. Why the fuck make it a separate stat and not just lump it together with ninjutsu power? What is the mechanical difference here?

Way of the Wise is brutal. Will I ever be able to not get ohko'd again or am I just going to have to get used to this?

I'm in a full set of level appropriate tatenashi +25 in the second region and I feel like I'm struggling to keep my gear up to date.

Thanks m8

The difference is that it scales with your total ninjutsu power. It's kind of a useless set bonus though, you can get ninjutsu damage bonus on your ranged weapon and it applies globally.

>+25
This shit actually starts becoming a thing?

Should I be worried about reputation bonuses? Do I just pick one and they give me a permanent boost that cannot be reset? If they can't be reset then which ones do you guys recommend I look out for?

tell me about Abyss

Yeah. Here's an example of what my gear looks like in early WotW.

I don't know how high it can go, but I recall someone in the previous thread saying on Way of the Nioh you can get stuff as high as +100 something.

I see, its just confusing because similarly phrased stats refer to your weapon damage from what I gather. Also which one is better, wabbit or aya?

you can buy a reset book for them from the tea house later on, don't worry about it

Divine gear goes to +10 in Way of the strong, +20 in Way of the Demon +25 in Way of the Wise, +30 in Way of the Nioh and all the way up to like +130 in the abyss

Hope you like fighting the Date clan

You can reset them with Koan Manual.

I dunno, I played most of WotW and WotN in full Tate or 3 Tate 7 Tsukuyomi (all heavy) and it didn't feel that bad. Maybe it's different for you guys that can rush through the difficulties so you don't have that much time to actually get good. I spent a lot of time on WotW grinding ethereals and stuff

I suggest getting a Yasakani Magatama (guaranteed reward from Return of the Gourd NG+ or a random drop) and incorporating 1 piece of Iga Ninja to your build. Then just keep activating living weapon (and cancelling if you don't want to use it) to get your Quick-change Scrolls back

>Kill lvl500 revenant with full ethereal set
>3 Divine Fragments, 1 Ochoko
Firin' ma' neurons

So it combines this with the disposable nature of gear being outdated ten levels later correct?
Can't see myself bothering with anything past NG and the DLC, the autistic gear replacing was already annoying me.

how are you guys lvl 500 already
cheat engine?

>When you do an entire level with some random then die to the boss like a retard

Gear stops being disposable around late WotD. I'm and all the gear in that picture is from Way of the Demon. I just soul matched it over and over to get the levels up. You get insane amounts of gold on WotD and above so that isn't really an issue.

You can't just keep crafting new gear on the higher difficulties because crafted gear starts at like +0 or +1 unless I'm missing something.

WHERE ARE THE PC MODS?

holy shit this game is pissing me off today. Time to turn this game off for the weekend

can't you just soul match +1 or +0 with like +20 to get +20?

No. Soul matching a +1 with a +20 will make it a +2.

All my gear is crafted though. You get so much + gear from drops it's not that bad to get a set up to +25. Once you get a set that high it's best to keep it though. You can take it to the abyss later on and defile it to turn it ethereal.

basically just do main missions in ng, then kill some revenants for quick greens, run abyss till floor 5 for some + gear, then do a couple of main mission in ng+ to unlock wotd and repeat to the next difficulty

basically just using the time only for things that help you progress with your gear faster, you will get millions of amrita real fast on the side that way

Hold up, I know you cant see transmog on revenants, but what about coop? Do I have to manually turn it on? I cant find it in the options.

you can see transmog on revenans if they turned it in options?

Basic game settings, underneath the option to hide or show the shoulder belt

What lmao no it just don't go up otherwise you'd have to find same level stuff to get inheritable stuff.

it has to be matching or better to make it go up anything under just gets merged into it so you can use it for inheriting stats

so you played it on PS4, that's why you are rushing everything?
I'm doing every side mission, it's pretty slow

Does that affect coop as well or I can see people mogs by default?

>it has to be matching or better
that's what i'm saying
so will it go +20 if i try to soulmatch +1 and +20 or not?
