>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.
You need the right gear to do that with ninjutsu as well as with onmyo. If you use the strongest onmyo spells you can still apply discord to bosses even in wotn and then slash them for 10000s each hit.
Luke Powell
Thanks.
Adrian Adams
the issue with onmyo is more that it's so easy to apply status that heavy magic investment ends up not being needed
anyone can discord with a weapon buff, tengu fan, and a guardian/moment talisman
Daniel Taylor
Yeah, not a lot of enemies actually have an elemental weakness to really take advantage of the damage and for some reason they made ninjutsu items easy as shit to recover while onmyo isn’t. My best guess is that they dont want to to be able to sloth every last enemy you encounter but they could have just made “unlimited onmyo (fire shot)” or something instead of these redundant onmyo damage stats - you can get a % damage roll and a letter grade scaling bonus for each element.
It works fine if you go all in - you can get like +100% elemental damage between a grace, guardian spirit and helmet, and then another 100% damage to wind shots if you are lucky enough with inheritables. But because you have like 10 fucking onmyo rolls to look out for instead of two for thrown damage it takes a bit more effort.
Jason Carter
>tengu fan ? >guardian/moment talisman Do they really stick an ailment in one shot?
Colton Brown
Where to farm accessories? I really need some good acessories and since you can't reforge them, I basically need to find some spot where they drop tons of them.
Also is it worth defiling accessories?
Liam Walker
I'm getting really inconsistent damage from Iai Quickdraw on enemies backs. I can hit the same enemy for 5k and then another time for 20k. Any one have an idea of what might be going on?
Easton Powell
Does Hanzo drop his shit at any level? Because I got him on Abyss floor 2.
Jose Carter
Can you craft ethereals? Im in way of nioh and missions are throwing new smithing texts at me, but forged items only seem to be around wotstrong tier. Is forging useless at this stage? It's sort of a shame I need to rely on rng not only for a specific weapon and prefixes, but also have it be apart of the right set as well.
Jackson Robinson
Everybody understood the "joke".
Liam Lopez
You can't forge Ethereals. You use Forging to make a Divine and then Defile that Divine in the Abyss to turn it Ethereal.
Nathaniel Lee
As Odachi user, what should i level next?
Ethan King
Why are kusarigamas so fucking strong, should I even use anything else?
Oliver Brown
Magic, of course. Why the hell didn't you use it for talismen already!?
Matthew Reed
what do you mean?
Liam Collins
tengu fans are attack items which shoot out a big tornado that inflict bluster very easily
the effectiveness of a talisman depends on the spirit you use, but most of them are pretty good at inflicting their element. paired raiken will definitely do it in one shot if the enemy doesn't resist lightning.
James Collins
>Also is it worth defiling accessories? I don't think you can
Thomas Rogers
criticals yes
Levi Cox
Have you not looked at magic and ninjutsu at all during those 685 levels...?
Gavin Taylor
But i do use talismans
Juan Bailey
>Nue mixed with anything Truly the cheapest kind of artificial difficulty.
Adam Edwards
if you get it to 20 you can get the quick cast mystic art
Colton Hill
Yeah and with 20 magic you can get one of the two magic arts.
Aaron Young
i have quick cast, why do i need 20 magic?
Leo Richardson
Fuck off, cheatershit.
Asher Miller
delete this
Kevin Thomas
are you kidding me? I did almost all the locks missions
John Long
Welp, time to farm the fuck out of him while he's WotSAM strong and I'm Demon.
See you in ten hours.
Henry Jackson
Thanks I didn't pay attention to tengu fans before since they seemed to be rare, but it's actually in the glory shop
Oliver Turner
All onmyo, ninjutsu and lw whores, as well as all Iai cheaters take note: This is what a quality non-cheese build looks like in Nioh.
Michael Cook
Sure sure, little cheaterkid.
Bentley Davis
It's true, there's no such thing as non-cheese in this game.
Jaxon Evans
You only need to get it to 20 to do the mission and then get the unlock. You can then respec and keep your dex/magic at whatever you want and still be able to get the fast magic. You should probably make sure you know what you're talking about before trying to call someone out.
Jordan Wilson
Daily reminder for quality builds - now with picture!
James Robinson
i did the respec kys yourself you dumb fuck
Nathaniel Butler
>Have you not looked at magic and ninjutsu at all during those 685 levels...? >did you not need to cheese and cheat during those levels
I can dodge.
Obviously got it to 20 first and then used reset stats you nub. The only requirement for those skills is to have done the mission.
Parker Wood
>30 levels later >still the biggest bullshit by far so far in this game What were they thinking!?
Landon Hughes
>cheese Ah, so you are one of those uneducated shitlords that doesn't use any kind of attack buff at all. Why are you even playing the game?
Carter Ortiz
>leveling up Might as well use CE.
Christian Young
I take it you haven't done Everlasting Duty yet then.
Lincoln White
If that is some abyss thing, I only ever did the first boss there and decided to do the normal missions and DLC first.
I mean, I'm level 159 and this thing has just 2 difficulty symbols, yet I'm not even close to getting even one of them to half damage. I have basically no time to attack any of them without also getting hit. And I don't want to invest any onmyo points in things like sloth.
Blake Lewis
>trying to do two in the shadow and iga style in wotn as an axe user
It hurts even after you've gone numb.
Andrew Morris
t. can't dodge
Michael Nguyen
I just don't like to get onehit or having to whack the enemies a million times to kill them. I already did a lvl 1 naked run for the base game and some enemies already take 15min+ when you barely do a couple hundred damage per hit. Then again it allowed me to get all the title points for extra stats in ng.
Christian Sullivan
It's the DLC equivalent of the mission you're trying. These optional end game missions are the actual challenging content, going up to do the same basic missions on a higher difficulty level is a piece of piss.
Ayden Clark
It's possible mate. I even got the crusher achievement, though with odachi, but that is basically the same as axe since you can't use the parry. Your best hope is to kite them in circles and when okatsu is falling back try to relieve hanz of his ki and he should go down in 1 or 2 final blows. If you don't do the title, just make sure to never get hit by okatsu and her lightning bullshit and you should be fine.
Wyatt Barnes
I want to fuk the fuku
Xavier Evans
She is truly the sex goddess of this game.
David Sullivan
Equipment drop rate and armor blessing from the kodamas. I don’t know if there is any specific location where they are more common.

Joshua Walker
>this last fight on NG
I mean I get that they wanted to make something cool and climactic, but having to turn my back and not being able to see what several other things are doing is really fucking lame
Landon Baker
>boss of the mission is a never ending gauntlet of mages that summon foxes while cannon yokai shoot from elevated areas
Welp, looks like I'm not accomplishing anything this morning.
Dylan Evans
tell me which mission this is so that I can never play it
Chase Thomas
Dance with the yokai or something. In dlc2. It's literally just endless white super mages spam summoning endless foxes while also spamming the chain lightning strikes while a cannon yokai smiles from the center of the arena. Oh and a boss Fox comes out half way with two Cyclops and a wheel monk. The mages respawn if you take too long as well and summon even more foxes.
Jonathan Bennett
So are all of these double boss fights that I unlocked after clearing the last mission of the base game jacked up in difficulty or can I beat them right now without needing to get better gear or level up more? Just marathoned through the last region and not really up to bashing my head against a wall
Noah Campbell
>doing any missions on the umi-bozu level >9/10 elites yokai fall into the water >cry internally when hearing the sound of big loot dropping
Fuck that area
Logan Stewart
They are generally the same level as they were, the difficulty is fighting two at once.
Carson Watson
It'd be easier to start the DLC instead, but there's nothing stopping you from beating the dual bosses right now.
Evan Carter
oh alright, also how does NG+ work in this game? I wasn't paying much attention but didn't even see an option to start it or w.e
Is it just something I go into once I finish the DLC?
Oliver Torres
No, it unlocks after hundred eyes. Go to the list of regions and press square to toggle between difficulties. WotStr and higher difficulties have a bar in lower right corner that fills as you complete missions on that difficulty, when it has filled enough, it will unlock the next region.
Jaxon Torres
It's one of the side missions, finish "The Queen's Eyes" in the Omi region.
Landon Flores
>TFW I can only really go cuhrazy with tonfas, which are one of the worst weapons
Benjamin Bailey
I’ve co-opped with plenty of tonfa players who blew shit up faster than I ever could. Just build your character well and its fine.
Robert Cooper
>levels Levels don't mean shit compared to gear in this game unless we are talking about hundreds of levels.
Jace Lewis
>The mages respawn if you take too long as well and summon even more foxes
Dylan Gutierrez
>one of the worst weapons When will this meme stop. Tonfas get to go in hard as a motherfucker more than any other weapon because of the mystic art.
John Bell
Any ways to reduce the penalty you get by changing spirit mid-LW?
Elijah Carter
Have Extraction/Pleiades up, switch just as you kill a mob
James Baker
best way to farm stones for LW? I was thinking something like In Queen's eyes kill 2 kelley and suicide on 3rd-repeat
Wyatt Young
Is there a reason I should ever use Water Shadow or w.e it's called over Haze?
Eli Brooks
Please tell me "attack from behind" bonus applies when you are hitting the enemy from behind and not those useless grapples that only work on human enemies.
Bentley Collins
Is it even really viable to 'main' two different weapon types in one build? I'm currently doing 1kat as primary and kusarigama as secondary because they're my favourite weapons to use but they require totally different stats to maximize
Luke Russell
>Recover Ninjutsu Items (Finished Using Living Weapon) 96%
Leo Nelson
That's how you are supposed to play
Cameron Hughes
Any attack in the back, including final blows if the target os face down.
Roll change to attack on them and yeah, its fine. Peak damage lets you kill bosses in a single move. You clearly do don’t need to end fights that quickly. Don’t worry so much about maximizing your damage.
Jose Phillips
what do you use for secondary weapon for odachi?
Hudson Carter
Can you roll change to attack for any stat on any weapon?
Bentley White
In theory
Angel Cruz
axe
Isaiah Jones
in what kind of situations?
Landon Wood
>decide to do some random encounters for glory >every fucking host I get queued with just straight up dies to the first big yokai he comes across
fuck sakes
Adrian Gomez
2kat. I just wish the odachi would be best against yokai and 2kat best for humans. But it's the other way around
Xavier Murphy
in every situation
Jordan Hughes
all those missions are pretty much bullshit
Adrian Brooks
what a stupid fucking answer. Just don't talk if you have nothing to say.
Anthony Scott
What level in the Abyss do you start getting better gear? I parked last night at like 55 and I'm still only getting 300(+38) gear.
Parker Peterson
>summoned for WotStr Deep in the Shadows >get to final leg >Dweller comes out of nowhere and knocks my head around >dodge backwards off the ledge and die

Carter Ramirez
what's going on with you?
Tyler Jenkins
yeah abyss is fucking shit. I'm at 74 with +40-43 drops
Nathan Flores
this general rarely helpful and answer like this don't help the situation
Kevin Watson
Is the Abyss easier if you do it on normal difficulty?
Luke Gutierrez
I use a Spear for the pokies. Body and Strength are my main stats
Jace Cox
odachi has nice pokes too like dev rush or running attack
Mason Rodriguez
Use a second Odachi
Daniel Cox
Abyss' difficulty is based on the level you enter it in. 1-5 is Way of the Samurai, 6-10 is Way of the Strong, and so on.
