Love the build. I'm with you on this being the best game for 2017. I put a lot of time into it. (enough to annoy my wife). You and PWAR were my go to for builds. I think the two of you put together the most structured/effective builds in the community. For what it is worth you did a great job.
OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU... NANI?!? Hahaha! I luv it. Nothing better than to somehow incorporate Kenshiro in there and your build and Kenshiro was a good parallel too ;)
Man, you're an awesome person and player. I wish I'd found this channel sooner. This video was so well put together. I enjoyed it the whole way through! I hope you continue to make videos like this. I wish you much success in everything that you do.
First video of yours I watched, I subbed immediately. You deserve more subs man, your videos are great and your content is perfect - cut right through the BS and get to what matters. Thanks!
Your content is amazing man! Well structured, well edited, interesting, informative and fun to watch. I hope you get all the subscribers in the world because you definitely deserve it.
So hyped for nioh 2 im very interested In what team ninja will bring and the pc port was done very well for nioh so whoever did the port I have complete faith in them bringing that port to pc. I love nioh it has got to be one of my favorite games ever. Words cannot describe the excitement the stress the blood swear and tears I have put into this game and the hundreds of hours. It's beautiful and underrated.
PERFECT ... just the kind of build I was looking for.... no tricks, no OP crap that makes the game easy. Just skill and knowledge to make it all work together ;-) Oh and loved the video.... the editing and visuals makes me want to up my game ;-) +1 Sub.
Aside from what I listed off in the video, I also unlock earthfolding for use in the abyss, and anything that gives a decrease on other passives like ki useage, Amrita earned, luck, etc. Quick change, Tiger Sprint, suppa, and catwalking are also really useful, and necessary for speed-running. I also maxed out the damage and capacity of my guns, increase both ninjutsu and onmyo capacities from 30 to 40. With only 30 skill points in each there isn’t enough to get everything I’ve listed, you have to make up the difference with locks of hair. Everything I unlock I take to level 3 since the cost to have a level 3 is less then at level one, but of course it’s at the cost of skill points.
I just copied this build and I cant seem to land a critical attack, the damage text seem to be small not the usual larger text for crit. Can you help me out? I copied the build and everything, stats and all. Thanks!
You need to make sure you’re as close to the opponent as possible because the Iai quickdraw animation actually puts you technically behind them and that’s the part of the hitbox it’s detecting which is where the critical damage comes from.
Anything that enhances Attack directly doesn’t stack. (Leeching, carnage, power pill) The reason I pop a carnage talisman prior to leaching is because it gives a defense debuff, the leeching talisman replaces carnage’s damage but keeps the debuff. The more negative effects you have active at one time the stronger the Kigetsu set effect gets.
Mauro Martins the armor that I used to refashion it was “The Last Great General”. You have to have both the chest and waist of that set in order to get the white jinbaori.
For those wondering, the music for when King Kerfuffle is going through the build is from the F2P game Warframe, from a major plot point of the game's ongoing story.
So is there a particular way to get a sword with no grace as a divine, WITH Lai quickdraw, to become a grace of futunushi? Or is my best option to forge like 10 swords with lai quickdraw, (EXPENSIVE) on them, defile them, fight through floors 21-25, and hope to RNiohGesus one becomes a futsunushi? Sounds like an expensive farce.
90s Network Productions You have two options. #1 Exactly what you just stated, however I recommend floor 34 and fight to 37 (ogress). #2 go to a level with a lot of revenants, like ohashi bridge, and cycle through any that have a katana. All revenant weapons that aren’t part of a designated set will drop as Futsunushi. You will probably have better luck with #1.
TigerSouls I am currently using Onimaru Kunitsuna. Many people say that weapons with permanent elemental stats are a waste, however I disagree. All weapons can have up to seven stat slots available. When forging a Devine weapon you can only forge up to five slots max. A set bonus or grace takes up another slot, which would leave the last slot blank, so in my opinion something is better than nothing. I chose Onimaru Kunitsuna specifically because I have accessories that give me extra fire damage and I have a hand cannon that gives me 24% to fire damage too, which in many cases gives me around an extra 10k per hit.
How to get all the items at level 300 ++? I only get them at 150 (+9)? I have beat Battle of Osaka (Way of the Strong) but can only have the green colored items.
HIEP CHU each time you go up in difficulty the higher the level will go. If you want to get to level 300-310 you have to play on the highest difficulty, Way of the Nioh.
Something I noticed is that I have absolutely no idea what attack you are using at 2:41. I looked at the skill tree but I did not find it, tough that might be because I am blind as a bat so... Can you tell me its name please?
Hey there King. Really enjoyed the montage + your voice is quite chill which is a ++ Subbed! I was wondering which stats to focus on while leveling in making this build?
Skully Jones I recommend heart, skill, and strength. Reason is because all three effect the katana Attack multiplier. Heart especially since it gives an extra bonus to katanas and in my opinion Ki is far more valuable then anything else and there is no such thing as too much Ki.
Hey ! Great build. I know I'm pretty late on this video, but something is bothering me a lot here. At 1:32 you can clearly see muneshige's hit connecting, and yet it doesn't do any damage to you. Why is that ? I might have missed something here
Zαиzι there is a weapon perk called “nullify damage after dash attack” that can negate a single hit within a short window. Can only roll on ethereal weapons and gear.
What was that sword move you used to defeat Hanzo that launched him into the air at the 2:45 mark? I’ve never seen that move in any other video nor been able to figure out how it works.
Baka Dumb1 it was the start to the “Izuna Drop”, the iconic Hyabusa/Ninja Gaiden move. It replaces the backstab when you have it set in your skill customization for Katanas. Hanzo is a milktoast so he died from the initial hit, so unfortunately you didn’t get to see the spinning piledriver that follows. That skill as well as the Flame Dragon ninjutsu can only be found at random by beating Jin Hyabusa. Ironically enough, at 1:51 the Devine item that bounces off to the left by itself was the drop that gave me Izuna Drop. I got Flame Dragon a few attempts later.
An awesome guide which I am following now and even tough it isn't complete yet I am very satisfied. Even most of the questions I had were mostly answered in the comment section. Two things only: where can I get a that wallpaper you made? And what's the ending music? It sounds awesome. Thanks in advance.
PredatorHun87 I don’t have it posted anywhere specific, but you can always screen grab it at the section I have notated in the description. The ending music comes from the ending of the animated short “Dragons” from Overwatch. Also, the video I posted after this one takes this same build even further so I recommend checking that out as well.
Grace of Futsunushi only appears in two ways. If an ethereal weapon drops after defeating a player revenant it will be Futsunushi. It cannot appear normally on a random ethereal drop. It can also appear in the abyss on defiled items. The ones that drop from revenants will not have a (+) rating on their level, they always start at 0. Ones from the abyss with have a + rating in relation to how far into the abyss it was acquired. A good farming spot for either finding random Futsunushi gear or defiling specific items you want to turn Futsunushi is by starting on floor 34 and fight until you defeat the Ogress on floor 37, then leave. There are about 5 sets that appear in regular occurrence using this method, one of which is Futsunushi.
Conan's father speech in the intro...very very cool^^ One of the best montages I've seen so far...will you do more in the future or do you quit playing Nioh? :(
Hans Wurst I still play from time to time, but currently I’m working on real life stuff, like preparing for my Kendo/iaido shodan test coming up shortly. I haven’t decided if I’ll post that though since I’m not entirely sure if people that sub to my channel expect gameplay only. Might have to experiment with it.
As I'm interested in japan, well overall eastern stuff, culture, living food and so on I'll like to see such things^^ Good luck on your test you sure will do fine :) I'll got a bit too late into Nioh...got it months and months ago and got my bloody arse kicked but now I cant stop playing it tearing my hair out and screaming how bad I am...but I'm geting better :o Beat it yesterday now on new game + and first DLC...^^ Way 2 go for me xD
i gotta ask, why do you use carnage talisman, it doesnt stack with leeching and thus dont give you any buffs really ? i also atm cant find full futunushi set so i need to run kingo which is far superior to kigetsu set in terms of dmg :)
ThundeRZ Lundorff it is true that it doesn’t stack with leeching, however that isn’t why I used it. I used it for the debuff to defense because the Kigetsu set bonus gives you a damage increase for every negative status ailment you have at a given time.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 well i tried out the kigetsu set, instead of my kingo set, i went from 200k on the giant frog down to 111k , with ur talisman setup, dunno why though, i know i shouldnt use full kigetsu but i figured that the 4 set bonus and critcal would more than make up for the dmg but apparently i dont feel the dmg from, the ailment
ThundeRZ Lundorff make sure you pop leeching AFTER carnage. If you pop leeching first, carnage will overwrite it because the game only tracks the last attack buff you used. Leeching is far stronger so it should always be the last Damage increase onmyo you use.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 aah i see, why are you also using tenken kunjaku btw, i know it buffs if ur in high but isnt kato better to swap over to right after you get ur dmg buff from the amrita? :)
This build plays with me well. I mainly play blood borne, so I just play low stance spear. And I never thought of using full dmg stats, since Y’know, glass cannons in SoulsBorne are a deathwish.
After playing, and Platinum-ing, Sekiro I wish there was a more aggressive parry mechanic in Nioh 1 or 2. I adored being able to go toe-to-toe with anything and anyone as long as you, the player, were good enough. My Kensei build in Nioh was the closest I could get to being godlike but still vulnerable all at the same time.
King Kerfuffle oh, ok. That makes a lotta sense actually. I’ve been spending ages tryin to perfect a build in Nioh for a similar thing, and I’ve found that kusarigama dodge attacks are very well rounded, so if you try and dodge through attacks and punish like that, it works pretty well also. I don’t like kusarigama tho, so it’s not that fun for me, and spear dodge attacks are slower than a snail with leprosy trying to learn how to swim.
Holy shit... that's all I gotta say. Time for me to dust this game off again now that all the dlc is out, hopefully I wont get my ass handed to me as bad as last time I played
And this has got to be one of the most thorough build videos I've seen and the fact that you are such a fan of the mythos makes it better. Build video or not I hope you continue to make content. Hell even a podcast type thing talking about Japanese mythology and the master swordsmen would be awesome
HIEP CHU much like my answer regarding your weapon level question, the character level max is also tied to the difficulty level you have played. Level 750 is the max level you can reach when playing on the highest difficulty, Way of the Nioh. Essentially you have to get to New Game ++++.
Hello,i have a question, you did show your stats,weapons,armor,amulets and spirits. But one thing still remains unseen - your perks. Can you tell,what perks in what skill trees were you using. Thank you.
Ilja Prohorov so in my skill trees I have unlocked everything for spear, and everything but night rain, tiger sprint, sword of meditation, and the light armor backflip on the katana. That and if there was a passive skill in any other tree that wasn’t specific to just that weapon then I unlocked those as well. I also have Melee Mastery maxed at lvl 100. Any extra skill points I had then got dumped into The ranged weapon mastery.
Iv done about 50 runs of defiling for futsunushi and i only need one more piece for the iai bonus, but i cant seem to get a cannon to futsu. (all on floors 34-37) Do you have any tips/recommendations? I was thinking to get a sword with futsu but its a lot of forging to get ones with iai star and then the grace. Also, can you re-defile an ethereal with a grace already on it and get a new grace?
MrSimpy10 sadly there’s no recommendation since it’s all RNG still. I myself went and farmed the smithing text for the “lightning cannon” from the stage “The Last Samurai”, forged 5 or so cannons, defiled all of them and ran those floors and got one to turn Futsu. Also, once a piece of gear is ethereal it’s grace cannot be changed again. This actually helps to some degree because then you can defile it to level it up quickly without soul matching.
Everything that was done in this video was post patch 1.20 and my other video where I go above one million damage was 1.21. So unless patch 1.22 happened and I didn't hear about it then no, nothing has been nerfed.
Hi Chief - I am a PC user and just got around this game (I know a bit too late - Nioh 2 is out on PS4 already) - but I am loving it I am in NG+ - I wanted to ask you (if you can still remember), what is the best way to farm for Dual Swords that can have 7 stats (or 6 with 7th reserved for set bonus)?
Is strength only used to heavy Armor and axe? Isn’t 200 strength a bit over since I heard 99 strength could keep you under 70 percent even if u wear the heaviest armour.
First off, awesome video. I don't like living on the edge with no life, so I have a build that is basically very similar minus the no health. I would like to know how I can get more damage out of my build. I'm hitting with quickdraw around 120-150k. Is there an option that actually has health so i'm not one shot constantly?
Casey Anderson Yes but your options are limited. I myself did not like playing with low life either, and I’m pretty sure I even say that in one of my other videos. However, when you get into Way of the Nioh difficulty it kinda becomes pointless because anything bigger then the little zombie guys or a ronin grunt can pretty much kill you in one to two hits anyway. Leeching talisman gives you the biggest boost to attack of all the Onmyo/Ninjutsu and its always going to be draining your health. If you’re looking to keep your HP high I’d recommend an Amaterasu build or anything that makes you super tanky. You’ll basically be giving up high attack DPS for overall resilience. There is another grace set that also gives high HP but its name escapes me. It is possible to make a build with so much health and defense that you can withstand one of the Sanada Maru arrow barrages and not die. So it’s a pretty even trade off with this game, either you kill in one hit or die in one hit, or you live through several hits but have to deal several of your own. There is always the Living Weapon build, but those are a dime a dozen and require a lot of amrita stone farming. Your best bet for damage to Iai Quickdraw outside of Futsunushi and added skill damage on your weapon is getting added damage effects like paralysis or Poison since there are helmets that have passive damage boosts to enemies effected by that ailment. Carnage is okay, power pill is almost pointless.
I know this vid is old, but when Musanige hit you as you were killing Honda, you took only KI damage. Can you tell me what skill or spell allowed that?
Mileena Empress of Outworld it’s a weapon perk called Nullify Damage. Allows you to absorb a single hit for a very short window after hitting an opponent. The whole reason for hitting Honda with the low attack was to trigger it in anticipation of the hit I knew was coming from Muneshige.
Mileena Empress of Outworld yeah back in it’s hay day that ability would absorb all damage for a full 2 seconds or so, but it got nerfed to a single hit.
Gamer Xtreme that’s entirely up to you and how you want to play. I would always have a CTA stat that matches whatever your highest stat is (heart, skill, etc.). If you’re in A agility (blue) then take Agility, If you are in B agility (green) then take Familiarity, and then anything heavier take Equipment Weight (yellow or red). The rest is up to you.
Gamer Xtreme at the bottom of each weapon will be three stars that act as damage multipliers. Each one has a rating for how that stat will give a damage bonus to your weapons. Focus on putting points into stats that reflect this, especially stats that are cumulative across both weapons. For instance my sword and spear both get a buff from Skill and Strength, so I maxed out both of those stats.
Gamer Xtreme there is a stat called Tenacity you can get on your armor or accessory that will keep you from dying from recurring damage like poison or the life drain from the Leeching talisman. However if you get hit by anything you’ll still die. You’ll be amazed at how good you can get when anything and everything can kill you instantly.
Minh Trần this ones for a little later because it uses Grace sets, and I don’t think ethereal gear starts dropping until you are in way of the wise difficulty. You can check out my Itto-ryu build (my first video). The haze parry doesn’t do what you see in that video anymore, but the armor sets are still decent. Once you start getting into the Osaka regions then you can move over to the Kigetsu set.
gradeAbra since it is an ethereal stat (orange text) it can only appear on ethereal gear. It’s pretty rare regardless. Comes in handy against ninjas like Okatsu.
josue arex It started in 1.20 when I made this video. The video after this was on 1.21 with minor tweaks, but still the same build. There weren’t any real significant changes between those version.
marcie jackson` make sure that you have the stat “Tenacity” on either a piece of armor or an accessory. It keeps you from dying from any “damage over time” effect like fire, poison, and even leeching. You’ll be left with 1 health, but you’ll be alive.
Hey! New player here! :) I'm kinda lost on how should I level up my stats early game, do you have any suggestions? I'm enjoying A LOT the katana/spear combo so I split my level ups between Body and Ki, but I'm afraid that neglecting other stats might not be a good idea (though I still don't understand what the hell Magic does lol)
Raein welcome! So the game states that there is a buff to using certain weapons in relation to that stat, which is true, but it’s almost negligible by itself. It really depends on what kind of weapons you are using, but each weapon will have 3 stats listed and how each translates to damage towards that weapon. For example, my sword has B+ from heart, C+ from Skill, and D+ from strength. My spear has B+ from Body, C strength, and C skill. Because both weapons get a bonus from strength and skill it’s good synergy to level those stats up. Another problem is that the Body stat really only gives a raw boost to health. I think you’re better off putting points into Heart which helps with Ki and is more valuable then health in my opinion. Magic is great when used in the right scenario. My build uses part of the Kigetsu set which gives me Attack buffs for every negative debuff I have active at one time. Example time again. Carnage grants an attack buff but then lowers defense. Leeching grants a stronger attack buff but drains my health. Attack buffs from magic/ninjutsu don’t stack, but debuffs do. So I’ll use carnage and then leeching which gives me two debuffs and the stronger leeching Attack buff. If I do it in reverse order I’ll end up with the weaker carnage Attack buff. Because debuffs stack I can pile on a bunch of negative garbage which makes my attacks even stronger due to the benefits of the Kigetsu set. So when picking your magic/ninjutsu, pick the ones that sync with your build objective.
Breiner Garcia the armor that I used to refashion what I’m actually wearing is made up of two sets. The do (chest) and hizayaroi (waist) are from the Last Great General’s set which drops from Sanada in “Fare for the Afterlife” After you beat him there, it will drop randomly elsewhere as well. The kote “wrist” and Suneate “legs” are from the Demon King set dropped by Nobunaga in “The Demon King Revealed”.
King Kerfuffle Thank you, it looks really nice and I've been looking for the last great general but since I'm not as good as you I've been having a lot of trouble lol
King Kerfuffle I already died a billion times lmao I just need to figure out the best way to farm amrita and get better weapons. I'm barely at level 230 I didn't have enough time for the game, still don't but I can't quit this game and unfortunately after each patch the tips I get become obsolete lol
Yeah the patches got annoying which is why I made this build how it is, they’d have to mess with some major mechanics to break this one. Honestly best farm despite what others might say is Marobashi. It’s predictable, tons of loot, and Amrita for days. Throw in a sake for a boost and you’ll climb quick.
I've watched your video 100 times and I still don't get it - I have ~600lvl, 4500 dmg in stat-cs, 4050 dmg on my sword 300+40 (CTA heart A+, 20% CCD, A Fam bonus), keigutsu's 4 pieces, Futsu's 6 pieces, hino-enma and some others bonuses like agility bonuses on my range weapon... and i deal 82k vs your 180k (without negative effects) and ~200k vs your 999k (with negative effects). I don't believe everything will change when i get yours ~5000 dmg... Spirits - Kato and mouse (don't remember its name) I'm very very sad cuz i don't understand what i did wrong... sry for bad eng
Sean Holeman only options are either farming revnants since all revenant weapons that aren’t already part of a set will turn futsunushi, or defile floor 34 of the abyss and leave on floor 37. There’s a one in five chance it’ll drop as Futsunushi.
This build doesn't work, with abyss floor 500 gear and literally same setup + Attack boost (Critical) this does barely 700k with all buffs/debuffs and weakness. Gonna stick with my Tonfa build.
My hair is made of cats, your argument is invalid. Not sure what to tell you. I put this build out in version 1.20 and did the boost to one million damage in a single hit video in 1.21. Haven’t played in a minute but I’m pretty sure a patch hasn’t come out nerfing it. That and I still have yet to take my gear over +50 because I haven’t found the need to do so, but then again I almost don’t want to for fear of making the game too easy.
Klaudo lol, you may be using the wrong armor. Sanada has two sets that are nearly identical, and unless you have the chest and waist the same it won’t show the white overcoat (Jinbaori).
It's the best video I've ever seen about Nioh in all RUclips, no doubt!
Thanks my brother. This is the kind of build I was looking for. I hope you get the mood to publish more builds. Greetings from Mexico.
Miguel Soria Rentería thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Love the build. I'm with you on this being the best game for 2017. I put a lot of time into it. (enough to annoy my wife). You and PWAR were my go to for builds. I think the two of you put together the most structured/effective builds in the community. For what it is worth you did a great job.
Andrew Richardson thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my content.
Game is a solid experience, same as Nier.
OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU... NANI?!? Hahaha! I luv it. Nothing better than to somehow incorporate Kenshiro in there and your build and Kenshiro was a good parallel too ;)
Raymond Salgado thanks! I was sitting there when I was editing thinking “how do I accurately portray going WAAAAAY too far”.

Really Nice Build you did here,
also AWESOME Video you created
Thank you for you hard work!!
ADDON: - Also love the scene with the Nue and the Kodama transformation - stunning scenery
odie0815 thank you very much for your kind words and enthusiasm. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
This character has more buffs than MK11's Shao Khan!
PERFECT ... just the kind of build I was looking for.... no tricks, no OP crap that makes the game easy. Just skill and knowledge to make it all work together ;-) Oh and loved the video.... the editing and visuals makes me want to up my game ;-) +1 Sub.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Aside from what I listed off in the video, I also unlock earthfolding for use in the abyss, and anything that gives a decrease on other passives like ki useage, Amrita earned, luck, etc. Quick change, Tiger Sprint, suppa, and catwalking are also really useful, and necessary for speed-running. I also maxed out the damage and capacity of my guns, increase both ninjutsu and onmyo capacities from 30 to 40. With only 30 skill points in each there isn’t enough to get everything I’ve listed, you have to make up the difference with locks of hair. Everything I unlock I take to level 3 since the cost to have a level 3 is less then at level one, but of course it’s at the cost of skill points.
Great video!! U deserve more subs!!
Awesome video man👌🏼
Zay Jonathan thank you very much!
You earned a new SUB, keep it up
D7AD Gaming thanks for your support.
Fuck, this build is AWESOME.
This is totally going to be my build come end-game.
Ben Shabtai glad you like it. It’s definitely a lot of fun.
Going to try this out playing Nioh for the first time with my friend.
tfw you notice the warframe the second dream theme music
AsianBoi yep, I love that game, and I thought it fit the theme of this video nicely. Thanks for having a keen ear.
Lol from space ninjas to real ninjas. I love Warframe as well
What a fantastic video.
I just copied this build and I cant seem to land a critical attack, the damage text seem to be small not the usual larger text for crit. Can you help me out? I copied the build and everything, stats and all. Thanks!
You need to make sure you’re as close to the opponent as possible because the Iai quickdraw animation actually puts you technically behind them and that’s the part of the hitbox it’s detecting which is where the critical damage comes from.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 I landed a 251k crit finally, I have been getting 60-80k non crits. Now to aim for the 999k. Thanks and godspeed!
Anything that enhances Attack directly doesn’t stack. (Leeching, carnage, power pill) The reason I pop a carnage talisman prior to leaching is because it gives a defense debuff, the leeching talisman replaces carnage’s damage but keeps the debuff. The more negative effects you have active at one time the stronger the Kigetsu set effect gets.
Where i can find this set General of kigetsu’s?
can anyone tell me wich chest piece is that visual he is using on his armor?
Mauro Martins the armor that I used to refashion it was “The Last Great General”. You have to have both the chest and waist of that set in order to get the white jinbaori.
Thanks man! love the video btw, great job with that intro. keep up the good work! liked and subed ^^
For those wondering, the music for when King Kerfuffle is going through the build is from the F2P game Warframe, from a major plot point of the game's ongoing story.
kazzsaru is right. One of the best improvements of that game and a riveting moment in the story.
I'm only lvl 98 and still playing through the first time... HOLY SHIT this is nuts to me.
Ryan Showalter it’s an uphill battle for sure, lol. But that keeps it from getting stale, you never know what kind of crazy B.S. you can pull off.
K this is DETON8RS! YOUR vids are awesome!
Jacob Luce well hello there bud. Glad you enjoyed them.
So is there a particular way to get a sword with no grace as a divine, WITH Lai quickdraw, to become a grace of futunushi? Or is my best option to forge like 10 swords with lai quickdraw, (EXPENSIVE) on them, defile them, fight through floors 21-25, and hope to RNiohGesus one becomes a futsunushi? Sounds like an expensive farce.
90s Network Productions You have two options. #1 Exactly what you just stated, however I recommend floor 34 and fight to 37 (ogress). #2 go to a level with a lot of revenants, like ohashi bridge, and cycle through any that have a katana. All revenant weapons that aren’t part of a designated set will drop as Futsunushi. You will probably have better luck with #1.
TigerSouls I am currently using Onimaru Kunitsuna. Many people say that weapons with permanent elemental stats are a waste, however I disagree. All weapons can have up to seven stat slots available. When forging a Devine weapon you can only forge up to five slots max. A set bonus or grace takes up another slot, which would leave the last slot blank, so in my opinion something is better than nothing. I chose Onimaru Kunitsuna specifically because I have accessories that give me extra fire damage and I have a hand cannon that gives me 24% to fire damage too, which in many cases gives me around an extra 10k per hit.
How to get all the items at level 300 ++? I only get them at 150 (+9)? I have beat Battle of Osaka (Way of the Strong) but can only have the green colored items.
HIEP CHU each time you go up in difficulty the higher the level will go. If you want to get to level 300-310 you have to play on the highest difficulty, Way of the Nioh.
That second dream music tho. Tenno spotted :D
I just realized how Warframe's OST actually suits Nioh goddamn find.
Best build
Something I noticed is that I have absolutely no idea what attack you are using at 2:41. I looked at the skill tree but I did not find it, tough that might be because I am blind as a bat so... Can you tell me its name please?
Hey there King. Really enjoyed the montage + your voice is quite chill which is a ++ Subbed! I was wondering which stats to focus on while leveling in making this build?
Skully Jones I recommend heart, skill, and strength. Reason is because all three effect the katana Attack multiplier. Heart especially since it gives an extra bonus to katanas and in my opinion Ki is far more valuable then anything else and there is no such thing as too much Ki.
Hey ! Great build. I know I'm pretty late on this video, but something is bothering me a lot here. At 1:32 you can clearly see muneshige's hit connecting, and yet it doesn't do any damage to you. Why is that ? I might have missed something here
Zαиzι there is a weapon perk called “nullify damage after dash attack” that can negate a single hit within a short window. Can only roll on ethereal weapons and gear.
Thanks a lot man ! The perk is actually way more useful than I initially thought.
Great Video!!! ;)
Metin Ozan thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
What was that sword move you used to defeat Hanzo that launched him into the air at the 2:45 mark? I’ve never seen that move in any other video nor been able to figure out how it works.
Baka Dumb1 it was the start to the “Izuna Drop”, the iconic Hyabusa/Ninja Gaiden move. It replaces the backstab when you have it set in your skill customization for Katanas. Hanzo is a milktoast so he died from the initial hit, so unfortunately you didn’t get to see the spinning piledriver that follows. That skill as well as the Flame Dragon ninjutsu can only be found at random by beating Jin Hyabusa. Ironically enough, at 1:51 the Devine item that bounces off to the left by itself was the drop that gave me Izuna Drop. I got Flame Dragon a few attempts later.
great video :)
Tâm Nguyễn thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
An awesome guide which I am following now and even tough it isn't complete yet I am very satisfied. Even most of the questions I had were mostly answered in the comment section. Two things only: where can I get a that wallpaper you made? And what's the ending music? It sounds awesome. Thanks in advance.
PredatorHun87 I don’t have it posted anywhere specific, but you can always screen grab it at the section I have notated in the description. The ending music comes from the ending of the animated short “Dragons” from Overwatch.
Also, the video I posted after this one takes this same build even further so I recommend checking that out as well.
Thanks, already did.
where can find tatsuke matchlock?
Zangetsu Kurosaki it can drop anywhere randomly, but I think the smithing text is on a body in the moat ditch on the level with the arrow volleys.
thanks, i find the smithing text in The Siege of Osaka
Does this build still do the same damage wise
POLARIZED I believe so. I haven’t played in a while, but I don’t think any updates have come out since.
How have Grace futsunushi onimaru kunitsuna, bro?
Hello King Kerfuffle, please tell me in which location is best to farm the set Grace of futsunushi ?
Grace of Futsunushi only appears in two ways. If an ethereal weapon drops after defeating a player revenant it will be Futsunushi. It cannot appear normally on a random ethereal drop. It can also appear in the abyss on defiled items. The ones that drop from revenants will not have a (+) rating on their level, they always start at 0. Ones from the abyss with have a + rating in relation to how far into the abyss it was acquired. A good farming spot for either finding random Futsunushi gear or defiling specific items you want to turn Futsunushi is by starting on floor 34 and fight until you defeat the Ogress on floor 37, then leave. There are about 5 sets that appear in regular occurrence using this method, one of which is Futsunushi.
Conan's father speech in the intro...very very cool^^ One of the best montages I've seen so far...will you do more in the future or do you quit playing Nioh? :(
Hans Wurst I still play from time to time, but currently I’m working on real life stuff, like preparing for my Kendo/iaido shodan test coming up shortly. I haven’t decided if I’ll post that though since I’m not entirely sure if people that sub to my channel expect gameplay only. Might have to experiment with it.
As I'm interested in japan, well overall eastern stuff, culture, living food and so on I'll like to see such things^^ Good luck on your test you sure will do fine :)
I'll got a bit too late into Nioh...got it months and months ago and got my bloody arse kicked but now I cant stop playing it tearing my hair out and screaming how bad I am...but I'm geting better :o
Beat it yesterday now on new game + and first DLC...^^ Way 2 go for me xD
i gotta ask, why do you use carnage talisman, it doesnt stack with leeching and thus dont give you any buffs really ? i also atm cant find full futunushi set so i need to run kingo which is far superior to kigetsu set in terms of dmg :)
ThundeRZ Lundorff it is true that it doesn’t stack with leeching, however that isn’t why I used it. I used it for the debuff to defense because the Kigetsu set bonus gives you a damage increase for every negative status ailment you have at a given time.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 well i tried out the kigetsu set, instead of my kingo set, i went from 200k on the giant frog down to 111k , with ur talisman setup, dunno why though, i know i shouldnt use full kigetsu but i figured that the 4 set bonus and critcal would more than make up for the dmg but apparently i dont feel the dmg from, the ailment
ThundeRZ Lundorff make sure you pop leeching AFTER carnage. If you pop leeching first, carnage will overwrite it because the game only tracks the last attack buff you used. Leeching is far stronger so it should always be the last Damage increase onmyo you use.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 aah i see, why are you also using tenken kunjaku btw, i know it buffs if ur in high but isnt kato better to swap over to right after you get ur dmg buff from the amrita? :)
ThundeRZ Lundorff I never got into the spirit swapping aspect, I just used whatever I felt like at the time without worrying about it too much.
This build plays with me well.
I mainly play blood borne, so I just play low stance spear.
And I never thought of using full dmg stats, since Y’know, glass cannons in SoulsBorne are a deathwish.
After playing, and Platinum-ing, Sekiro I wish there was a more aggressive parry mechanic in Nioh 1 or 2. I adored being able to go toe-to-toe with anything and anyone as long as you, the player, were good enough. My Kensei build in Nioh was the closest I could get to being godlike but still vulnerable all at the same time.
King Kerfuffle oh, ok. That makes a lotta sense actually.
I’ve been spending ages tryin to perfect a build in Nioh for a similar thing, and I’ve found that kusarigama dodge attacks are very well rounded, so if you try and dodge through attacks and punish like that, it works pretty well also.
I don’t like kusarigama tho, so it’s not that fun for me, and spear dodge attacks are slower than a snail with leprosy trying to learn how to swim.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 This build changed in 1.22 ?
Is that warframe music? That song always sounded so right
Indeed it is
Il just copy this i was looking for soemthing to make me play again, i guess i found it! thanks!
Fábio Nunes glad to have you back ^_^
Holy shit... that's all I gotta say. Time for me to dust this game off again now that all the dlc is out, hopefully I wont get my ass handed to me as bad as last time I played
ViciousTriangle hope it goes well for you. I still get a regular serving of ass handed to me to this day.
And this has got to be one of the most thorough build videos I've seen and the fact that you are such a fan of the mythos makes it better. Build video or not I hope you continue to make content. Hell even a podcast type thing talking about Japanese mythology and the master swordsmen would be awesome
Why does my character stop at level 400, I cannot upgrade more. I see some player have him at Level 750. Can you explain to me?
HIEP CHU much like my answer regarding your weapon level question, the character level max is also tied to the difficulty level you have played. Level 750 is the max level you can reach when playing on the highest difficulty, Way of the Nioh. Essentially you have to get to New Game ++++.
Do I have to finish all the stages in Way of the Strong to unlock Way of Nioh?
HIEP CHU no, you just have to finish “The Queen’s Eyes” to advance to the next difficulty.
Hello,i have a question, you did show your stats,weapons,armor,amulets and spirits.
But one thing still remains unseen - your perks. Can you tell,what perks in what skill trees were you using. Thank you.
Ilja Prohorov so in my skill trees I have unlocked everything for spear, and everything but night rain, tiger sprint, sword of meditation, and the light armor backflip on the katana. That and if there was a passive skill in any other tree that wasn’t specific to just that weapon then I unlocked those as well. I also have Melee Mastery maxed at lvl 100. Any extra skill points I had then got dumped into The ranged weapon mastery.
Ok,did you unlock some of the ninjitsu skills and magic except the talismans and bombs?
Why do you need strength for sword and spear???
Iv done about 50 runs of defiling for futsunushi and i only need one more piece for the iai bonus, but i cant seem to get a cannon to futsu. (all on floors 34-37) Do you have any tips/recommendations? I was thinking to get a sword with futsu but its a lot of forging to get ones with iai star and then the grace.
Also, can you re-defile an ethereal with a grace already on it and get a new grace?
MrSimpy10 sadly there’s no recommendation since it’s all RNG still. I myself went and farmed the smithing text for the “lightning cannon” from the stage “The Last Samurai”, forged 5 or so cannons, defiled all of them and ran those floors and got one to turn Futsu.
Also, once a piece of gear is ethereal it’s grace cannot be changed again. This actually helps to some degree because then you can defile it to level it up quickly without soul matching.
Ok, thank you for the reply. I'll try farming the smithing text. Is there a specific location in the mission where you get the text?
did they nerf any items on this build? max dmg i can do is 300k w paralyze
Everything that was done in this video was post patch 1.20 and my other video where I go above one million damage was 1.21. So unless patch 1.22 happened and I didn't hear about it then no, nothing has been nerfed.
I can't even reach 300k now and ice copied almost everything
Do you mind answer this question for me? What armor set did you use to refashion the General of kigetsu set?
Hi Chief - I am a PC user and just got around this game (I know a bit too late - Nioh 2 is out on PS4 already) - but I am loving it
I am in NG+ - I wanted to ask you (if you can still remember), what is the best way to farm for Dual Swords that can have 7 stats (or 6 with 7th reserved for set bonus)?
Those armor, I get it from blacksmith or from missions?
What is that chest piece? It looks really cool
Jon Snow it’s refashioned from the “last great general” set. You have to have the chest and waist pieces in order to get the white Jinbaori.
Is strength only used to heavy Armor and axe?
Isn’t 200 strength a bit over since I heard 99 strength could keep you under 70 percent even if u wear the heaviest armour.
Imagine how many times this person has recorded this video after missing those parries and set ups
Not as hard as you might think once you get good at it. AI of the game starts getting pretty predictable.
Well duh im saying you're fucking goated
@@kingkerfuffle3173said the guy who played Nioh with a thousand hours in it
Does your ninjutsu power need to be high to paralyse onryoki so fast? I had tried but he don;t get paralyse so quickly..
First off, awesome video. I don't like living on the edge with no life, so I have a build that is basically very similar minus the no health. I would like to know how I can get more damage out of my build. I'm hitting with quickdraw around 120-150k. Is there an option that actually has health so i'm not one shot constantly?
Casey Anderson Yes but your options are limited. I myself did not like playing with low life either, and I’m pretty sure I even say that in one of my other videos. However, when you get into Way of the Nioh difficulty it kinda becomes pointless because anything bigger then the little zombie guys or a ronin grunt can pretty much kill you in one to two hits anyway. Leeching talisman gives you the biggest boost to attack of all the Onmyo/Ninjutsu and its always going to be draining your health. If you’re looking to keep your HP high I’d recommend an Amaterasu build or anything that makes you super tanky. You’ll basically be giving up high attack DPS for overall resilience. There is another grace set that also gives high HP but its name escapes me. It is possible to make a build with so much health and defense that you can withstand one of the Sanada Maru arrow barrages and not die. So it’s a pretty even trade off with this game, either you kill in one hit or die in one hit, or you live through several hits but have to deal several of your own. There is always the Living Weapon build, but those are a dime a dozen and require a lot of amrita stone farming. Your best bet for damage to Iai Quickdraw outside of Futsunushi and added skill damage on your weapon is getting added damage effects like paralysis or Poison since there are helmets that have passive damage boosts to enemies effected by that ailment. Carnage is okay, power pill is almost pointless.
does this build work still for 1.21?
Crazy god)))!!
Roll on Nioh 2. =D
kiero1236 between Nioh 2, Sekiro, and Ghost of Tsushima 2019 is shaping up to be the year of the Samurai.
I know this vid is old, but when Musanige hit you as you were killing Honda, you took only KI damage. Can you tell me what skill or spell allowed that?
Mileena Empress of Outworld it’s a weapon perk called Nullify Damage. Allows you to absorb a single hit for a very short window after hitting an opponent. The whole reason for hitting Honda with the low attack was to trigger it in anticipation of the hit I knew was coming from Muneshige.
@@kingkerfuffle3173 Wow, thanks. That seems very useful. I thought it was something like an Onmyo magic spell. Thanks for responding.
Mileena Empress of Outworld yeah back in it’s hay day that ability would absorb all damage for a full 2 seconds or so, but it got nerfed to a single hit.
For this build, do you have a guide for what stats you start putting point into first while you were going through the game?
What skills did you learn for sword and spear, ninja, and onmyo?
Wassup man , I'm struggling on way of the strong . Can I get some help making a build please ?
Mike Green sure thing. What weapons are you wanting to use?
well, what skills i put in each weapon?
Gamer Xtreme that’s entirely up to you and how you want to play. I would always have a CTA stat that matches whatever your highest stat is (heart, skill, etc.). If you’re in A agility (blue) then take Agility, If you are in B agility (green) then take Familiarity, and then anything heavier take Equipment Weight (yellow or red). The rest is up to you.
i was meaning the combos of the wepons with samurai point
and sorry for being soo noob but how you dont die with that low life? its a passive or something?
Gamer Xtreme at the bottom of each weapon will be three stars that act as damage multipliers. Each one has a rating for how that stat will give a damage bonus to your weapons. Focus on putting points into stats that reflect this, especially stats that are cumulative across both weapons. For instance my sword and spear both get a buff from Skill and Strength, so I maxed out both of those stats.
Gamer Xtreme there is a stat called Tenacity you can get on your armor or accessory that will keep you from dying from recurring damage like poison or the life drain from the Leeching talisman. However if you get hit by anything you’ll still die. You’ll be amazed at how good you can get when anything and everything can kill you instantly.
Which Clan did you use for this build?
Tobias Thiel I am currently use Kuroda
I'm just started to play the game the other day(PC) can I use this build on beninger or this's a late game build ?
Minh Trần this ones for a little later because it uses Grace sets, and I don’t think ethereal gear starts dropping until you are in way of the wise difficulty. You can check out my Itto-ryu build (my first video). The haze parry doesn’t do what you see in that video anymore, but the armor sets are still decent. Once you start getting into the Osaka regions then you can move over to the Kigetsu set.
How do you stack talismans? Thought they overrun each other?
What transmog do u use? for gear? sorry for my english but u look so coool!
Klaudo “Last Great General” for chest (do) and waist (hizayoroi), “Demon King” for wrist (kote) and legs (suneate). I turned off them helmet.
Ty bro!
Those are my 2 favorite weapons
How did you got deflect project tile on your arm pcs?
gradeAbra I got it through random reforging. I’ve seen it once before when tempering as well. Only appears on the Kote.
I have never seen it appear through reforging or tempering...
gradeAbra since it is an ethereal stat (orange text) it can only appear on ethereal gear. It’s pretty rare regardless. Comes in handy against ninjas like Okatsu.
is this a build for the 1.20 or 1.21 ?
josue arex It started in 1.20 when I made this video. The video after this was on 1.21 with minor tweaks, but still the same build. There weren’t any real significant changes between those version.
This build helps
How do I use the leeching talisman without it killing you? Drops me every time 😑
marcie jackson` make sure that you have the stat “Tenacity” on either a piece of armor or an accessory. It keeps you from dying from any “damage over time” effect like fire, poison, and even leeching. You’ll be left with 1 health, but you’ll be alive.
Hey! New player here! :) I'm kinda lost on how should I level up my stats early game, do you have any suggestions? I'm enjoying A LOT the katana/spear combo so I split my level ups between Body and Ki, but I'm afraid that neglecting other stats might not be a good idea (though I still don't understand what the hell Magic does lol)
Raein welcome! So the game states that there is a buff to using certain weapons in relation to that stat, which is true, but it’s almost negligible by itself. It really depends on what kind of weapons you are using, but each weapon will have 3 stats listed and how each translates to damage towards that weapon. For example, my sword has B+ from heart, C+ from Skill, and D+ from strength. My spear has B+ from Body, C strength, and C skill. Because both weapons get a bonus from strength and skill it’s good synergy to level those stats up. Another problem is that the Body stat really only gives a raw boost to health. I think you’re better off putting points into Heart which helps with Ki and is more valuable then health in my opinion. Magic is great when used in the right scenario. My build uses part of the Kigetsu set which gives me Attack buffs for every negative debuff I have active at one time. Example time again. Carnage grants an attack buff but then lowers defense. Leeching grants a stronger attack buff but drains my health. Attack buffs from magic/ninjutsu don’t stack, but debuffs do. So I’ll use carnage and then leeching which gives me two debuffs and the stronger leeching Attack buff. If I do it in reverse order I’ll end up with the weaker carnage Attack buff. Because debuffs stack I can pile on a bunch of negative garbage which makes my attacks even stronger due to the benefits of the Kigetsu set. So when picking your magic/ninjutsu, pick the ones that sync with your build objective.
How did you get that armour? I've been looking everywhere for it. Help please
Breiner Garcia the armor that I used to refashion what I’m actually wearing is made up of two sets. The do (chest) and hizayaroi (waist) are from the Last Great General’s set which drops from Sanada in “Fare for the Afterlife” After you beat him there, it will drop randomly elsewhere as well. The kote “wrist” and Suneate “legs” are from the Demon King set dropped by Nobunaga in “The Demon King Revealed”.
King Kerfuffle Thank you, it looks really nice and I've been looking for the last great general but since I'm not as good as you I've been having a lot of trouble lol
Breiner Garcia hang in there. I only got to this point because I’ve died a billion or so times. I’m sure you’ll get there in half as many, lol.
King Kerfuffle I already died a billion times lmao I just need to figure out the best way to farm amrita and get better weapons. I'm barely at level 230 I didn't have enough time for the game, still don't but I can't quit this game and unfortunately after each patch the tips I get become obsolete lol
Yeah the patches got annoying which is why I made this build how it is, they’d have to mess with some major mechanics to break this one. Honestly best farm despite what others might say is Marobashi. It’s predictable, tons of loot, and Amrita for days. Throw in a sake for a boost and you’ll climb quick.
I've watched your video 100 times and I still don't get it - I have ~600lvl, 4500 dmg in stat-cs, 4050 dmg on my sword 300+40 (CTA heart A+, 20% CCD, A Fam bonus), keigutsu's 4 pieces, Futsu's 6 pieces, hino-enma and some others bonuses like agility bonuses on my range weapon... and i deal 82k vs your 180k (without negative effects) and ~200k vs your 999k (with negative effects). I don't believe everything will change when i get yours ~5000 dmg...
Spirits - Kato and mouse (don't remember its name)
I'm very very sad cuz i don't understand what i did wrong...
sry for bad eng
I cannot get any futsunushi except my sword. I has the exact same stats as yours. Any recommendations on getting that stat??
Sean Holeman only options are either farming revnants since all revenant weapons that aren’t already part of a set will turn futsunushi, or defile floor 34 of the abyss and leave on floor 37. There’s a one in five chance it’ll drop as Futsunushi.
This build doesn't work, with abyss floor 500 gear and literally same setup + Attack boost (Critical) this does barely 700k with all buffs/debuffs and weakness.
Gonna stick with my Tonfa build.
My hair is made of cats, your argument is invalid. Not sure what to tell you. I put this build out in version 1.20 and did the boost to one million damage in a single hit video in 1.21. Haven’t played in a minute but I’m pretty sure a patch hasn’t come out nerfing it. That and I still have yet to take my gear over +50 because I haven’t found the need to do so, but then again I almost don’t want to for fear of making the game too easy.
I seem to hear the music of warframe
Abol D you hear correctly. Loved the second dream music, thought it for well.
I try ur transmog but not see the same i'm so ugly hahahah and u so coool
Klaudo lol, you may be using the wrong armor. Sanada has two sets that are nearly identical, and unless you have the chest and waist the same it won’t show the white overcoat (Jinbaori).
11:50 :D
watch your priority lvl
Great vid! I just suscribe by Rhode thoughts
Hopefully u can play with u sometime i'm almost 750
Damian Reyes sounds good to me!
FIRST!!
Nice video and amazing editing❤
