Nioh - The Strongest Dual Sword Builds in the Game
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 апр 2017
- In this video I run you through the most powerful dual sword builds in Nioh, as well cover the issue of diminishing damage caused by stacking too much of the same type of damage. By the end of this video you should have a pretty good idea about which of the most damaging builds will be the one you want to play with as well as how to avoid the pitfall of getting less damage when you should be getting more. Enjoy!

Also, Clan Todo DOES give more damage. You can learn more about that here:
• Nioh - Get More Heavy ... 
Игры
hands and feet are the two lightest slots (you said head and feet in the video, for clarification). with head being 0.1 weight heavier than them.
Ah yeah, of course. You're dead right. Hahah, one day I'll make a video without a mistake, but that day is not today haha.
no worries, it's minor at best.
Fuzzy Bearbarian
could you please let me know what spirit guardian to use? i couldnt see it in the video. i went with masters and kabuto dual wield build.
i mean masters and kingos
Kara-jishi or Tengen Kukaku.
4 years later and your still helping people with builds thank you sir
Cheers mate!
Just started nioh after beating Elden. I'm addicted . Elden was my first souls type . I have SO much to look forward to. Can't wait.
used two pieces of the Tatenashi set and wondered about the damage because it seemed like I was doing less. You confirmed exactly what I was thinking in this video. Great info!
What an amazingly informative video. I watched it twice in as many days, and even took notes. I recently started playing and finished NG just now. I really dig learning about these mechanics so thanks for all the effort you have put in.
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for the comment!
Just wanted to say that i appreciate all the effort you and everyone else that goes through the painstakingly tedious testing that you do.
Thanks man, and yep, it can get pretty tedious. In fact, it's more tedious now than it ever was with ethereals.
2 years later just wanted to say thank you for the time you took to do these tests enjoyed all the detailed information.
Thanks! Hopefully I'll be able to do the same with Nioh 2 in a few months time :)
@@fuzzybearbarian please do i would like to see your take on some meta builds
Getting my PhD was easier than understanding this amazing game
Lol, I can relate to that.
@AE 7147 are you an Alumni too?!?!?!?!?!?!?
ive got 100 hours in the game and im still learning shit lol
@@corpsegrinder88 took me 90 hours to delve into tempering and soul matching
You dont have a college degree.
Most helpful nioh armor/damage guide could of asked for! Thank you!
Cheers!
Hey Fuzzy, been tuning into your vids for a while now and after this one I really gotta thank you for all your effort in making these polished and highly informative videos, so thanks man!
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
This is a great guide and really fills in a lot of the questions I've
had about Nioh builds. I can only imagine the time and effort you put
into this, thanks so much for doing so.
Thanks man, and yep, there were many hours that went into grinding and testing even before I started putting the video together.
I wish all build videos were this comprehensive. Thanks for the great video.
Very very useful information. Currently iam running the sanada build but as you said, i dont think the damage will be high enough. Thank you for very useful information, gonna try to farm more!
Simply the best. Thank you for this brilliant video Fuzzy. Your guide is very helpful and detailed.
good stuff! I've watched all your videos from red demon set with katana up till this video. I have to say that my favorite one is the justice ministry. Thank you so much for your hard work and all this good info :)
haha oh boy.. i just started playing nioh and it seems the more vids i watch the more confused and overwhelmed i get with the volumes of stats, dmg mechanics, skills, and just the sheer # of various combinations of weapons, armor and how to put together a build..im at a loss of where to begin lol.. aside from that just wanna say thank u for these detailed vids uve made and the amount of time u invested in making them..
Thanks man. I get how confusing it can be too. My recommendation is pick the weapon you like the most and spend more of your play mastering parrying/dodging/weapon skills. In your first playthrough gear matters a lot less than it does in NG+ and beyond. You can check out my red demon build, which was the build I played through NG with entirely before I even worked out half the stuff in the game. It's a katana based build, and with that I highly recommend learning the iai quickdraw and especially backwave skills. Backwave is very easy to pull off once you get the hang of it, and very hard until you do. But once you do, it'll make killing human enemies a cinch, leaving the rest of your stats to focus on whatever you like and yokai damage. There are good tutorials on backwave on YT. But just quickly, you press block just before the enemies attack hits you, and block immediately after it to pull off the move. There's a little more to its nuance than that, but that'll get you started. Have fun!
I'm a bit late but just recently came back to Nioh for the dlc, loved your vid mate really helped. Got a new sub.
Thanks man, hope you enjoy the DLC.
Well spoken and very detailed. Thank you.
Thanks.
After five years and you are still the best I can't wait to finish nioh to start nioh 2 with your build
This was freaking amazing. The stats, nerd, data analyst in me LOVED IT (my job is data analysis so ya...). Now to go farm some more gear. Really really exceptional video.
Thanks man. Just be aware, this video was prior to patch 1.08. For a lot of people survivability is now more important than damage, in which case you might prefer to look at farming gear to make the "Sennin" build I posted a couple of days ago.
Ya, I've seen that video (and saved it for the future LOL). I'm just not into "Way of the Demon" yet so I can still out damage them fairly easily.
Cool. And just so you know, don't invest too much time in your gear beyond what works. Once you get to Way of the Demon it just gets tossed away in favor of the drops there.
Thanks a lot! You've been a big help in choosing and making builds.
That makes me pretty happy, that's why I do this stuff! Thanks mate!
Thanks for this and the time and effort put into it. Seems to be a really great sum-up. PS - funny intro!
Haha thanks.
Great, Great work! Great video indeed! Thanks for all efforts you did man! Absolutely amazing! I watched for study a couple of times to get all the info and now its time to farm. Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks man!
great videos man, i found your revenant yesterday, was so cool!
cheers
Yeah, I love that about this game!
great job
well done. . I appreciate your time and efforts
keep it up
thanks a lot
Appreciate the comment.
thank you so much for making some complicated questions relatively easy to understand.
you are Nioh
My pleasure man.
This video is gold... hope you make another one with the new content... subbed and waiting.
Thanks man, appreciate it. Don't hold your breath on more Nioh content in the short-term at least. I just saw the DE update for Warframe's upcoming 'Plains of Eidolon". So right now I'm feverishly working to start Warframe from scratch to get ready for the launch of their new more open world style content. And I'm having a blast doing it!
Love your videos! Keep them coming.
Thank you so much for this (and for all your other videos).
No problem and thanks for the comment.
Great video. I appreciated it a lot. Thanks.
I needed this, thanks
Hope it helps.
Thanks man,you helped a lot,I've almost passed this game,yet to get to divine armour,etc :D
Thanks man, and if you're yet to get divine, there's a lot more to come!
absolutely brilliant, thanks a lot mate. just the video ive been looking for. If only you could tell us where to get the yakasani magatama elite accessory
Hot damn!!! The stat nerd/engineer in me loved this video. The part of me that finally +10'd my Master Sword/WoW/Kingo/Sanada build last night hates it. Oh well, back to Marobashi I go...
Seriously though, great work. Loved the video.
Haha, thanks, and your comment made me chuckle :D
No problem. I actually only had to redo the head and chest pieces, so it wasn't too bad. Plus the farming session gave me enough amrita to get my stamina up.
Fuzzy Bearbarian I run dual sword skill build. everything I have on my swords is skill based. I finally found a weapon with close combat damage 20%. would it be stronger for me to put that on my weapon instead of skill damage? I noticed close combat does raise my overall attack stay on my weapon so it would hit harder. I just wonder if it would make my skills hit harder too and what other moves close combat damage wouod effect?
Skill damage can roll higher than 20%, so yes, keep your skill damage weapon. It is unlikely that your build will be stacked with too much skill damage, but if your gear is all about skill damage you might do better with CCD on your weapon instead. Only way to be sure with your build is to level up your CCD sword then compare using the two to see the difference. To your other question, CCD affects all your dual sword attacks, whereas skill damage only affects skill based attacks. That's why skill damage is always higher than CCD, because it has less situations in which it can be used. Me, however, I practically only ever use skills, so yeah, skill damage usually wins with me.
Good job, man
really helpful
Another great informative video, awesome. Great work and really appreciate the time you put into these to help us understand Nioh builds that little bit more. Thank you
Thanks man.
great video, thanx for the effort.
Thanks.
That was exhausting to watch for some reason, but very informative though. Great work as always Fuzzy. Out of topic but can you recommend an efficient amrita farming spot post patch 1.06? Since it seems that you need to have a pretty high level to be able to use the heavy armor builds in the video effectively.
0:30 what you said there was genius, I wish more ppl thought like you do
Thanks!
This is one of the most interesting videos on builds as it goes more into building a build, and how you come to ideas, rather than just putting up use these stats and these perks etc.
This way people can understand what choices make up a build. AFAIK this is the only video of its kind, where Nioh is concerned. Great work.
I know the game is getting old, but I would love to see even more. Either way, thanks for all the hard work!!
Thanks! Well I probably won't be playing Nioh in the next few months (I say probably because I don't own it on PC yet...) but before the year is out we'll be getting Nioh 2 demo, and next year Nioh 2, so definitely more Nioh is on the way in our future! :)
Fuzzy Bearbarian completely understandable. Great video regardless
@@Omnibus4Everyone Thanks mate.
very well said sir..congratulations!
Great video!
Great upload....thks for your time and effort .
Cheers.
This was extremely informative. I tip my hat to you good sir!
Nice guide video 👍
great video!
I know I'm late with this question but I was wondering if I should change up having "attack" on every armor?
Great video. Thumbs up!!
Cheers!
Thank you very much for the help
But One question ❓
How do you put One piece of armor and you count like 2 pieces how u did that ?
very in depth and detailed video,2 thumbs up for you! Would you consider doing a video like this for the kusarigama?
Guess your answer to my question is no..... sad
oh sorry if i forgot to say thank you for your hard work,thank you!
Just started nioh. Thank you sir.
Yakasakani Magatama
Fuzzy, I run dual sword skill build with all skill effects on the swords. I going a weapon with ccd 20% inheritable. I noticed that ccd raises my overall attack on my swords. would it make all my attacks stronger compared to running skill and what else foes ccd effect/improve?
So, since all these builds use the yasakani magatama, do you have a recommended set for those that don't have one? Like full Kingo vs full Master Swordsman?
0:03 got me so bad. But overall good video, it really helped me get out of the BORED section
😁😁I'd forgotten I used to do stuff like this at the start of my videos lol.
curious, have you tried the warrior of the west set?
school is soon and couldn't watch all of it
WoTW 5 piece
Master Swordsman 3 piece
you might have an extra piece left over so maybe sanada for the leftover
thanks for the research and testing! you should be a scientist !
what doe the armor with two katanas buff mean? and how do you get it?
Cant believe I just watched an entire video... more like watching a short movie or tv show. Incredible.
One question tho Fuzzy, so you are saying if I have 73 % final blow damage overall, its not really doin that much damage!
The problem is one of math and I'm not a math guy lol. But basically the more you stack of a particular type of damage the less the multiplier delivers you benefits. So to answer your question practically though, it doesn't really matter with final blow damage since you can't really substitute another damage type for that that I'm aware of.
Hey Fuzzy, great video and breakdown friend, do you perhaps have a list of skills or maybe a link showing them? Thank you.
Thanks and yes, a complete list of everything in this build is here: fuzzybearbarian.com/post/160465257061/sennin-nioh-dual-sword-way-of-the-demon
Very good video.
I have been watching your dual sword videos concerning close combat builds, but with the levels being dropped 300 from 700 to 400, so I'm unsure where to put the levels for best efficiency. I really would appreciate your input. and any advice on paying the tab for soul matching would be great. I have 300 blacksmith patron points above the max usable already lol. thanx and thanx for the vids.
I personally prefer the Sennin build now that levels have dropped as it is a perfect balance of defense and offense and works well from 250 and up. As far as soul matching costs go, I'm not one for advice because my view is the game is broken on that front. That's why I don't play it anymore - the resource cost grind and the need to save scum over hours and hours and hours just to get a single decent roll on a single stat is just, well, broken. It takes away from just playing the game to level up/improve, and for that reason I'm not personally prepared to do it. But yeah, the only advice I can give is to save scum.
I use the puppy pair it inflicts lightning right away. Combine w sloth and enemy’s move 25% normal speed. Then warrior of west bonus and BAM tons of juicy damage
AWESOME! when i saw ur close combat 4 build b4 I already fell in love with the build cuz im new to the game and i love dual swords but now u just taught me some great tips bout dual sword builds..thx man...btw is it ok for u to drop tht kingo and master swordsman set + the sword? if so just tell me where u dropped it and ill go pick it up..thx again
Yeah man. Head to The Disappearing Ranjatai. Just dropped it there.
Fuzzy Bearbarian thx man..
Can't wait to see your new dlc build bro.i whn from 580 lvl to 355.Idk y but all good
Really? I went from 750 to 320!
great video, and i thouroughly enjoyed all of it lol
Thanks. I pretty much feel like I'm boring as hell in my videos, so that's good to hear haha.
i loved this build of armor of exceptional got me to way of the wise end with it... lov level armor :D thx to the damge :D but... is it better to get ethernal from now on... like diferent stats set?
Definitely better. Needed even. You want to get a Grace set for sure.
there u go. my first like since the age of apes. :) One question for as noobs here if u have the time .. Im SL 100 and no Yasakani yet, what should i use with kingo till i get to end game items ? Thx and keep up the good work .
I would like to know, how you get 1 more piece in set? for instance you have only one equipped but you are getting 2 items on the set bonus page
Yakasakani Magatama
I don't get one thing. Could you explain to me please how to get 2 pieces armour set if you just put one?? Because when I put one piece I didn't get the 2 pieces bonus...
You need the Yasakani Magatama accessory. It grants -1 requirements on armor set perks.
What’s the reason that Windstorm is the best dual sword atk? I don’t know how to use it properly so I don’t see it’s potential. I’ve always jus been spamming sotc and water sword
So, from what I understand from reading about it, as someone else who doesn't really see the appeal, it's fast, it has a larger hitbox than it looks, it hits enemies when they dodge away from it most of the time, and it can lead into SotC. Later in the game with higher difficulties, Water Sword can get you killed against most enemies as their attacks get faster. Windstorm pushes you/them away from them and keeps you safe while getting out a multi hit attack. If you're building towards Sign of the Cross, you're stacking skill damage anyway and Windstorm is a skill so it gets that damage buff too. However, water sword has a lot of useful situations too, particularly against larger yokai as seen in the video where he nukes them before they finish their entrance animations. It's also pretty easy to use against the one-eyed guys just by getting around them.
Basically, Water Sword has the DPS, it does more damage and it does it fast, but Windstorm has the speed, the reach, and keeps you mobile to dodge if you miss.
Thanks i am going for the armor of the exceptional or kingo to finish wotn i guess being more tanky doesn't really matter in wotn.
I have a question this video was done before the abyss and it's graces were released and i guess you completed the abyss so what are the best graces for dual swords i am fed up with kusa/lw i one shot everyone but i wanna go back to dual swords for completing wotn (i beat only the queen's eyes in wotn to unlock the abyss remaining floors) so again if you have a build for dual swords with grace's not regular sets please share it with us.
It's been years, I can't remember lol. I never posted anything on builds as I got burnt out around that time on Nioh's grind and just couldn't do it anymore. Kind of regret it now but hey, when you're burnt out you just gotta move on. I never went back or posted anything after that on Nioh. Just waited for Nioh 2! Sorry I'm of now help.
@@fuzzybearbarian thanks for the answer i bought nioh2 played a couple of missions but honestly i am in love with original one i do agree with you it's really easy to get burn out specially for a build builder. I ll watch your nioh2 vids when i ll start playing it.
Have a good day/night i am from Algeria (north africa and it's 12am).
I run a Kusarigama with blade spin and Karajisi. Do you think the Japanese Bravest with Sanada helmet is also the best way to go for that build?
No idea any more. I've been working for days just to find a dual sword build that works for every level in Way of the Demon, and I can't find one so far (I've got one that works on everything except Maria, who absolutely obliterates me no matter what build I take in.) I haven't even gotten to Kusa builds in the new Nioh setup - and won't. The grind is way too much now, and I don't plan on spending every waking second of the rest of my life grinding for resources to try and test different builds. So, sorry mate, but with the update and all the changes it brought, I really can't help with Kusa builds anymore. But maybe someone can, like this guy on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/69jptc/way_of_the_demon_4_bosses_in_1_minute_is_there_a/
I'm really confused. It says it needs 4 peices of the master swordsman set to get the perk but you only have 3 but you still get the perk? Do I just not know how to count or is there a game mechanic I'm missing?
Never mind I'm stupid
Hi
Which build is The best for someone who will start the game? Easiest and strongest to easy compete the game. Asking you becouse i used your builds when i play long time ago.
When just starting don't worry about builds too much. Go for the Red Demon set as it is easy to get. I made a video on it years ago here: ruclips.net/video/OV9cdhuNU-g/видео.html
i watched the full video. all i can say is very brilliant
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
Fuzzy Bearbarian mate can i ask for normal attacks the warrior of the east is the best?
Normal attacks, meaning no skills? With Windstorm, WoE shows up as having the highest attack value, bc of the extra Body scaling, but I don't think it puts out the most damage. The MS+ WoW + Tate + Kara-Jishi + Todo is, but you HAVE to use the MS dual swords(or the katana). I also like to pick my swords, and for that, I think, after testing, that the Japan's Bravest is the strongest. And I get to pick my swords (the dual swords with the Magic Damage Bonus, for VERY high-statted players, are the strongest---their shown attack value is nothing compared to other swords, but they put out the most damage when you have ALL the scaling factors up---including Magic and Spirit). But if you do dmg from behind and SotC and final blow alot, a mix of Kingo's is good. So, yeah....Cheers!
Rick Cabrera thanks a lot man. you saved me a lot of time.
Yep, what Rick said.
2 years late but I thank you for this!
Better late than never, and not long until Nioh 2 so great timing just the same!
I just completed WOTS and I'm addicted to the NG+ stuff now.
Did it in Warrior of the West gear and Kato only.
This vid was great. Want to rush home and rebuild my William haha
@@VoxFelis It's addictive like that :) However, my advice would be to get to Way of the Nioh before investing too much time in builds. From Way of the Wise you start getting ethereal gear, and that's when real builds start. But Way of the Nioh is when you get to The Abyss, and at that point you can farm ethereal gear properly. It takes a lot of effort and grind to do so, and The Abyss takes a lot of play to get through. That's why I recommend not investing too much time now as it can burn you out before you really get to the point of having to grind for gear and gear level. You're best off getting a build you're comfortable to take through, and then hook into ethreal gear-based builds in WoTN. Good luck!
Hi do you leave your revenant anywhere. I've been farming the heart skill and can't find it anywhere! Thanks
Sorry man, I haven't been playing Nioh for a while now.
Haha thought you were saying jewel swords and started wondering if there was a layer of knowledge I was missing entirely
Hahah. I wasn't, but from now on their Jewel Swords 🤣
Is this build better than the stryker build of pwargaming?
Hey Fuzzy. Great Vid, again! This is the most comprehensive dual sword build guide in existence. I wondered if you were gonna make it. Of course, Fuzzy will make it! Props to triune31 too. I still dig the Japan's Bravest, bc I can pick my weapon (I know it's a little "who cares," but that's just my thang, especially after finding out that the Magic Dmg A+ on Sh&Kh, despite all appearance, seems to be the strongest at very high levels), and pretty much stick to windstorm from the front. I believed that I understood most of what was written in triune31's post, but now I have to swap out my Skill Dmg 21.8% for CCD. At least it's inheritable. But yeah, killer vid! Keep it up. Cheers!
Thanks man. I get you with having your weapon of choice too. I like the Kingo's version, but I do like going back to Shishi-o too as I just feel like I kick more ass with that sword. Can a set of dual swords be sentimental this early in the game? If so, those are to me :P
So I tested Japan's Bravest set with the 20% CCD on weapon vs. skill dmg 21.8% on weapon. I did this with the Shiranui with the Blade Spin. Here are my results:
1) 20% CCD (on weapon)
Status: 32.3 % CCD
21.6% Skill
Todo (heavy armor) clan
Kara-Jishi
DMG: 9628+ fire (something)
2) 21.8% Skill Dmg (on weapon)
Status: 12.3% CCD
43.4% Skill
same clan and animal
DMG: 9657 + fire
So, from these Kusa results, it looks like that the Skill Dmg weapon dmg is higher(by a small amount, maybe accounting for that 1.7% higher skill dmg than CCD). I know they are dual swords, but I don't have the same set (or any set) with 20% CCD. I'll test with other armor sets soon. Just data....Cheers!
It's a bummer we can't do 1 for 1 tests. I literally reforged my weapon for 6 hours straight attempting to hit the 20% skill damage jackpot so I could do a perfect test, never got it. Now I check every weapon I have waiting for the day when I can get two of the same weapon with the same damage from different damage trees. Unfortunately though, I run two missions nowadays and my inventory is full. I've already had to delete half the stuff I've leveled up to +10. I'm not sure I'll do too much testing from here on given 99% of what we need to know we kind of already do. I'm kind of missing just playing the game at this stage. Right now I'm leveling up some Ninja gear just to play as a Ninja for a while, without care for damage. You know, for that mythical thing I've heard people call "fun" hahaha.
How do purple weapons work with familiarity? I think I have a kusa inheritable with exactly 15% skill damage. And I feel you on the gear overload. I'm always at 500, it seems. And it's all killer stuff. I've had to give up some sentimental weapons to get others just for testing. As for the Ninja build (If I know which one you are talking about), I tried it out yesterday, had unlimited ninjitsu on every armor piece, etc. It's really fun and a trip demolishing bosses with kunais and shurikens that seem to never entirely disappear, and replenish when you activate LW. Have fun, man. Cheers!
Haha yep, that's the one. I've been itching to just play with it for ages now, but with all the testing I do I never seem to get to just play. I think I'm going to have to force myself to stop thinking and just start playing for a while!
i have a futatsu-mei norimune & hone bami dual sword with only six traits. Is there any way i can soul match to get it to a full seven traits?
No, because the set name is taking up the seventh slot.
ok i guess ill keep farming then. Thanks Fuzzy!
Just started the game . Kinda having hard time deciding which guardian spirit to pick from the 3 . Which is better Kato, isanade or the wind elemental bird ?
Depends on your build but Kato is generally the best. My advice is not to get too hung up on builds until you get much further into the game (Way of the Nioh region tbh). Try to get to Way of the Nioh as fast as you can with as minimal effort into creating a build to help you do it. There's a lot more after Way of the Nioh to do and you'll only burn yourself out by then if you don't aim to get there quickly. Was a bit different before all the DLC came out, but now builds really start at Way of the Nioh.
how do you make your swords more powerful?? do you just keep using it to kill all the yokais? or is it cuz you have to level up your charcter to make your weapon more powerful? lmk thanks
Level is the least important thing, though it still helps. The most important thing is your build. Your stats (weapon stats), your gear (the gear set perks and the special effects you've rolled onto it), the allocation of your Prestige Points, the clan you choose, and your guardian spirit. Then, combine those with the buffs you use on your shortcuts and you're most of the way there. The rest is all about the +value on your gear. Soul matching your gear to as high a + value as you can get means ALOT, and definitely means way more than your actual character level.
Hey, I was wondering if you could help me! I have some questions. Thanks
thanks dude
wish I could run the kingo/master swordsman build but I don't have enough points into weight to run it ffs
God bless you
havent finish watching yet, just wanna share my mix: 3 pieces master swordsman, 1 tatenashi (body), 3 warrior of the west pieces. It wont give you 1 hit capability, but it is tanky enough to headbutt a lot of bosses and you dont need that many levels.
Thank you
Cheers!
how did you get 1800 attack dual sword
i'm at level 327 and can't get attack over 1500
Too many variables to know what the difference is between what you've got and what I've posted. I've posted plenty of builds though, so it's just a case of going through them. Also, I haven't played in a while, so maybe also check patch history. It's not unheard of for patches to nerf damage, and since I'm not up to date with the game anymore, that's the first thing I'd check.
This was a great video. I had gone through the entire game without actually having a build, and just having all stats at 20, since I was using all weapons to both max them out, and figure out which I liked best. The extra boss fights after the WotS tore me a new one, but after reworking my build to something akin to this, both those fights, and the DLC became a breeze. I made it to WotW before I got bored, but I figure this would have worked all the way to WotN with very few problems.
So thanks so much for taking the time to get all nerdy with the stats, and sets (I just used a full kingo set since I didn't have the stamina to mix and match without sacrificing a lot of skill points). It still works perfectly 1½ years later.
Thanks for the comment. You played the game the right way the first time imo. Working it all out for yourself from scratch is where you get the most fun, which is also what I like to do. I hardly ever look up guides on anything. I just post what I learn to help others who either don't have the time, can't be bothered doing it all themselves, or who are having trouble and need some help. Good to know these builds still have a place over a year later too. Have a good one!
@@fuzzybearbarian I spent quite a bit of time trying to find this video again, but I finally did. I find myself wanting to play through the game again from fresh, and still remembered I had found an amazing build from last time. I think I'll just go through the game again trying to just even out everything to try out all the weapons again, but I wonder if this one still works. I suppose I'll find out once I get through the game the first time.
Hey Fuzzy. You should really get a video out soon explaining all this new crazy shit going on in the DLC. I'm not really understanding some of the dmg modifiers that were introduced. Team Ninja really fucked up us Nioh nerds by making this even more complicated than it previously was. You've explained most of what I know to me through the vids. They are the best, and you're smart enough to figure a lot of this shit out. So, I kinda need another. Cheers mate! Hope to hear that accent soon!
Yeah man, I'll do something soon, but I haven't had much of a chance to go over it yet. Took 2 days to download the patch, then I had to head to Melbourne to go see Hans Zimmer live, which has just finished. So once I get home I'll be playing to see what I can learn/make/post about :)
Super cool. I think they should make movies based on his pieces rather than the other way around. And he's got a MasterClass I was thinking about buying (got the Herzog and Sorkin already). As for the DLC, it's gotta whole bunch of new shit for people to figure out, on their own. It seems like an intentional strategy by Team Ninja to keep the nerds playing. But I think you can figure much of it out. You seem to HAVE to make videos, and you do it better than anybody. You're like the Fassbinder of Nioh RUclips videos and this one, if done somewhat comprehensively, would be your Berlin Alexanderplatz. There's a lot to go over that's new. Maybe I'm just whining about having to "test" more builds. But there is little online and I'm playing kinda blindly without my stats to the max anymore(which means I have to dump a shit ton of points into Stamina to keep my beloved Japan's Bravest set; but there are "weight decrease" effects on armor now that might help that). Well, no pressure. Ha! Cheers mate!
How do you refresh your weapon buffs so fast?
By the way, great video!
Thanks. Regarding buff refresh, I think that was just normal. Unless they nerfed refresh timers since this video, which is almost 2 years old (sweet jesus, where did the time go?), I don't really know lol.
Happy Easter Monday
Hahah, thanks. And you just squeazed it in before my easter Monday ends too :)
Hey Fuzzy, quick question...how are you getting all your armor pieces to have that +35 attack bonus? I noticed it's inheritable, but I can't seem to find any armor with that perk.
You can usually find that on the Kingo glove piece. At first it will say Attack +20 but with max familiarity, it will rise to Attack +35. Remember unlike on weapons, you can only get familiarity on Armor pieces in NG+ where you will find green "Divine" drops instead of purple "exotic" ones
Ahh gotcha, thanks man :) I was able to reforge the attack perk onto one of my armor pieces but its been pretty rare to do it that way
Look for gloves dropped from Revenants (or that you forge) with inheritable of +20 attack. You can inherit that to your other armor pieces. When you max familiarity, it will go to +35. If you're really really lucky, some +20 inheritable attacks actually go to +36 when you inherit them and max familiarity (you can tell during the soul match if they will do that because on the item inheriting the attack value it will say +21 instead of +20). But, the +21's are pretty rare in my experience.
ok so here is a stupid question. i have made countless dual swords and none have rolled with all stats slots on them. hell half the time they end up with no inheritable at all. is there a way to surefire this? or do the RNG gods just hate me.
No, it's pure RNG. However, in my experience it isn't that hard. Simply aim to roll a weapon with one empty slot but no inheritable at all. Then you can inherit into the spare slot and you have all slots filled.
thanks. i dont know why i didnt think of doing that.
Well, there's a lot going on in Nioh. It's easy to miss/forget stuff while you're focused on other stuff. I do it all the time :D
Still up to those sneaky opening trick shots, I see. At this point, I'm here for those and watching things die really, really fast. 😁
And I thought you were here for my good looks...
Oh that too. I'm a sucker for Australian Nioh players.
That's why I pretend to be Australian, just for you :P
Aww, that's sweet! No one's ever pretended to be Australian for me. That's elaborate, too, using the accent the whole time, just to keep up the illusion. That's dedication!
I'll say. I even went to the trouble of being born here too, just to make it as convincing as possible.
Lvl 701...how long did that take? Im still lvl 160 going through the last DLC. I can’t bring myself to grind through way of the strong for levels...its too damn repetitive.
Level is not nearly as relevant as gear. The + value on your gear matters WAY more than level. A level 701 with 300 gear will do less damage than a level 1 with 300+100 gear. So fortunately you don't have to worry about grinding levels. Besides, in late game, max level is 750 while enemies are above 1100, and there's no way to bridge that gap. Thus, the trick is to learn to play underleveled all the time. I beat Way of the Nioh when I was in the mid 300's, and only hit 410 at Abyss level 130, so I was more than 600-800 levels lower than the enemy. Also, don't grind levels at Way of the Strong, it's a waste of time. In Way of the Nioh amrita comes thick and fast, so you level up really fast there. Concentrate on your gear first and foremost. Of course, that means you need a lot of gold. Restless Spirits is the best for farming gold, plus be sure to max out all the perks you need for gold gathering. Any other tips just ask. Have fun.
Awesome, thanks for the response and info!
No problem at all.
Hehe you still cut through them like butter with each 🙀
+Fuzzy Bearbarian So in WotW is Water sword better than windstorm?
In some farming circumstances yep, in most other circumstances no.
+Fuzzy Bearbarian Great video! And can I please ask which one do you normally use, Water Sword or Windstorm?
Thanks. Back when I made this windstorm was my main. However, with my Chakku Norisu build I ended up using Windstorm very little and started using Sign of the Cross as my main.
