Fun little thing I notice when making the build. The number of axe graves you'll encounter compared to all the other classes is some 1 in 30-50 graves. Everything else is sword or dual swords, with kusa being 3rd and spear being 4th. That's how little people are playing axes xD Or maybe they're just not dying? who knows...
in what specific cases are you wondering about? And what's your wpn attack? imo I thought I wasn't doing that much (for what I expected) and there's probably ways to do more (least I hope). There's nothing really strange going that would let me do more damage than someone with similar attack (1644), using kara-jishi, using carnage (in most instances from the clips), and the honda clan.
PWARGaming have you tried Atlas Bear on the axe build. It has increase dmg (low ki). The lower your ki, the more dmg you do. Considering Mad spinner is going to use up all that ki.
My weapon atm by having the same set is 1744 I have change attack to heart A+ but 51 in body everything else is 99 for core axe stats the only difference I see is agility stat A and close combat in which my case is skill damage 17.5 and familiarity A
I was the same way when testing, before I changed to this (obsidian before, even screwed around and farmed unity to try to negate extraction talisman with tengen but it was more annoying having to constantly use a strong attack, especially for the slow high stance strong attack, which is how you get the best buff). But spinning is definitely the funnest part about the axe skills. Heaven and earth combo also clobbers anything.
I've done over 160 runs for the Yasakani Magatama and nothing. I did get a very good Kaido axe, so I'll try this build out. keep up the great work! Just subbed.
Oh god dude after I finally put this build together last night all I can say is that the axe is super broke and it's totally fun, I would recommend this build to anyone
Had a hammer build before I stopped to play I love it as well! You need to make a low stance spear build, you're going to love it! You feel like an speed demon while using that thing. Dps isnt so rewarding but it is really really fun. Gives the game a different experience.
PWARGaming Whatever build you make, since you always come up with some crazy names and since you already used susanoo, depending on how fun/efficient the spear build is you could call it Wukong or something related.
Hey Pwar, how are things treating you man, long time no chat. Anyway I'm returning to Nioh, I kid of steped away since the end of the first exp not playing much since. however i saw it and was like fuck i use to play the shit out of it. i think i have a level 650, before the level dropping when the first dlc was released lol, Anyway. I'm wondering what the top Tank/Damage Axe hybred build is right now. If you could Breakdown some of the new stuff maybe the build it would be awesome. I know its a lot to ask But if there is a really good build for current endgame it be sweet to know.
you can also go atlas bear/obsidian set and really double down on the intensity mechanic, focusing on tanking the hits while charging up your oneshot attack for all your ki.
hmmm interesting choice for armor that I have not used...I actually went on ahead and used the head piece and quite liked it! never noticed the effect even existed! (yes, apparently I am blind) I have my axe build setup quit similar to yours but with a few differences in armor and weapons. and I also keep a few head pieces to use interchangeably I use 3 Kaido-Maru(axe,chest,leg), 4 Warrior of the West(bow, katana, shoes, gloves) and 1 Swordmaster's Power (head) (skill ki reduction), warrior monk (40% toughness), Kodama bowl or Nue Mask (lighting damage) I am definitely considering to make that onmyo mage joe my main after this thanks to you! looking forward to your next build since I haven't played or explored spears much (thanks red demon wagon)
Brother, I wonder where to get the armor set, for the kaido set the only thing I have is the axe, which is the excact same weapon as yours. May you point out where specifically that I can obtain those kao do armor set
That's still early. I don't mingle in early game often, however, what I usually do is just kill a revenant with a purple kusa and hope its better than my current. You repeat this every few levels. blue rarity works too. The fact of the matter is lvl is the only real thing that matters for wpns early on, the higher lvl one you can get, usually the more damage it will deal, conversely the higher level you are, the higher lvl revenants will be usually.
are u sure your ki is reduced? I saw a video that SKILL's are not pertaining to the stance. One example is when u use Hurricane ( dual sword storm spinning thing ) in a high stance you dont get buff from "high attack damage"
mentioned it in description. axe dojo mission in ng+ gives you a kaido axe, then you can farm the mission over and over for smithing text for armor or more axes.
Guess I am just fantasizing about a gear based pvp. Makes farming seem worthwhile, and actually entertaining. Diablo 2 LOD dreams coming back. Min maxing for days.
susanoo. took me from ng region 4 (after getting blade spin) to omi region ng+ in bout 2-3 hours tops (blitz entire levels just completing main objectives). Not recommended for 1st time players obviously.
unfort not. I used susanoo (my lw build) to level and progress before switching to this build, and basically just did demon king revealed 310 mission runs with 20 attack gloves on, 5 times, and got all the 20 attacks I needed to transfer to my armors. One run basically took me from 0 to 999. I hate that you can't buy the glue nor whetstones (other than by glory which is boring to get unless you co-op.)
PWARGaming you can get whetstones from the special items at the blacksmith, when they appear. I check periodically and buy them, regardless if I need them or not. Glue for armor on the other hand, has been hard to come by.
How did u get kaido axe smithing text.(assuming there is one) Because i have the kaido armor smithing text but i cant make a kaido axe at the forge. Please help ty
trail of the master trick (youtube it), or doing "request for ginchiyo" or "demons daughter" quest, they reward accessories. yasakani is divine only, and regardless what you do, it's hard to get.
How do you mean? Passives can be shared if that's what you mean. If you look at skills they'll either say "skill type: active or passive". Passive is shared for anything you use. Getting cornered boar for axe means you get that defensive bonus in critical if you use say kusarigama or have no axe equipped at all. For mystics arts, that was my naivety early on in the game (like blender video) since I assumed some of them can be shared so long as they don't specify the weapon type, but apparently that's wrong and thus I don't get them now. To get TO the passives you usually have to invest in skills however if that's what you mean. Like armor piercer for kusa, you HAVE to get foot sweep, because armor piecer is connected to foot sweep. You can't leap frog.
Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I meant. I'm a Katana user and I'm loving your Nippon build but I was curious as to why you were putting points in like.. axe or spear when you're using a Katana. Maybe a respec for me is in order hahaha Thanks for the speedy reply. Looking forward to your spear video dude.
iirc it didn't, the yokai realm, when created had some weird stun wave efect that stunned you, and kekkai doesn't prevent that wave if you're going fast straight into a demon. that's the main problem with spin2win that was never solved. it's been a long time tho so idr.
max ccd. but since its hard to roll max, I usually just settle with fam. Apparently the more ccd you stack (from armor/passives), the less effective ccd becomes (relatively), whereas fam is separate from that thus you get its full benefit no matter what.
in lw? No. Lw didn't come to mind since I had limitations on that as well (as far as gearing for lw). You can glitch and use mad spinner in lw by using uszaku since when you "die" you get put into lw mode automatically so if you used mad spinner before triggering that you would still do mad spinner in lw.
i just thought tri spark looked viable being in mid stance and i wasnt aware of the glitch but assuming it gets patched id be curious how tri spark would perform
How in the world did you get the "attack strength +A" on that axe!? I've re rolled mine about 800+ times and can only ever get "change to attack strength C". I'm skeptical it can be rolled to an A since I see yours was inherited. Any particular tips on places that drop weapons with "attack strength A"? I've got tons of katanas with heart A and kusarigamas with skill A.
I mean if it can be inherited than certainly it can be rolled. I actually made a 160 obsidian axe before this, and reforged A+ on it (with ccd 20% inheritable), so it's definitely possible. Honestly though I think inheriting an A+ from rev weapons is easier. I can live with a 10% ccd, you're only missing 5% damage from perfect 15% roll, but str B- and A+ is a bigger damage gap I believe comparison. It's definitely hard reforging, i spent a lot of time, getting everything from spirit, magic, str c, body/stamina A+, but I wanted str, so scoured the wastelands for an axe revenant xD Someone helped me out on reddit, they have a subreddit that you can ask for particular wpns/sets fro people to drop a grave fro you.
Would like to see a table on what rolls were possible on particular weapons. Not sure if the kaido axe can roll "attack A+" natively. I've tried through rerolling multiple times to no avail. Will spend my time fighting revs trying to get that inheritable trait rather than wasting it on reforging. Will definitely check out that Reddit thread though. Thanks for the response and great job on your channel! Best nioh content on RUclips. Made a subscriber out of me. Really appreciate your perspective and data gathering approach. Keep up the good work and best of luck!
I was told round 40-45%. It definitely did more than kato when I was making Blender stronger in the update vid. tengen might be exactly the same buff (not 60% like some say) as testing both yielded the EXACT same numbers when I was testing for nippon steel. Kara wins here because we use kaido axe and kara provides higher lightning dmg than tengen, but it's only scraps worth of damage.
Most guides are for the N+ and whatnot. I would to see more guides on the standard first playthrough. I'm 80 hours in on my first playthrough 2nd Region trying to level up my equipment BEFORE I get the easier loot from enemy drops later on.
Are you the same level as me? max attack on all armor (175 total attack)? cta Str a+ on weapon? 99 str? wpn upgrade lvl alone will not get you the same attack.
Ok, I'll give my full opinion on the cool turtle. I've tried genbu. It's HONESTLY pretty bad. At max 99 magic, you'd "maybe" get around 200 extra defense, which is nothing once you're past 1.8-2k. And that's about it as far as benefits goes, rest of the stuff is purely meh. I don't think it's good at all, Tengen would probably be better as mid-stance amrita earned provides a defensive buff. It gives yokai damage reduction for more defense (better than genbu's elemental), and you can change stances and have fast ki regen or big damage boost, or all freaking 3 at the same time. You also don't move...like a turtle xD Lw mode is same thing, genbu's not bad here, but tengen is defensive and offensive and last longer. best bird is best bird. So yah using it would be purely out of wanting to be unique/use something uncommon. Had there been sets that also raised magic defense, I'd be more inclined to go full magic, but the only armor for magic don't have set bonuses. So while you may gain lots of defense, you're suffering by not getting anything more than a 2 pc set if you went full on. Perhaps I can attempt an "immortal" build of sorts, meh damage for high defense, but as I said in vid, next is spear class so I can have all classes covered. After that will probably be dlc, i might screw around in the future but atm, not a priority :p
Nope. carnage was nerfed but that's about it, still gives more damage than power pill with jishi. But if you want to be tankier then you can go power pill instead.
I'm struggling to find armour with Attack as an inheritable trait, or weapons with any good CTA x A+, not to mention trying to make an item any higher than +7. So if I want to try a build, I just save game on USB, make it, find I don't do as much damage because I invested too much into my kusa and sanada set, then get bored, and go back to susanoo build.
For what areas? half the people who are lv100 are still in ng. So are you saying take on ng stuff at lv100 with a build? Early ng+ stuff (1st 3 regions)? Or are you suggesting to take on ng+ last 3 regions at lv100, which no would one actually do because you'd be at least 130-150 at that point as there's no reason to not level up...
some players stops lvling up after reaching lvl 100 and still can make very effective builds that can do shitton damage to bosses in ng+ . i think it would be cool if u showcase ur builds at lvl 100 try it on ng+ bosses . im a dark souls fan so the habit of meta lvl came with me to this game .
very few people ask the same kind of questions (why don't you stop being overleveled and play at a normal or lower level) and I'll say the same thing, my lvl hardly matters and for the content, I'm not as high as a ton of other people who show off builds at 300+, nor do I want to show off builds at lower lvls but only the early regions or even ng regions like I see many do as well. You'll just be weaker at lower lvl, but everything else is nearly just the same, given 1.) most of my builds are at most 215, so 115 higher than 100 at most, the newer ones being less and less, with my spear being the lowest at 155. And 2.) Majority of those lvls are merely to get 99 in x stat, which is nothing but damage and not necessary, it adds 200 damage at most. If I can use the same weapons with same + lvl, player level hardly matters. Say this axe build, at lv100 I'll be weaker sure, but if I can upgrade to +10, then damage will hardly be lost at all and it will just be a repeat of this montage just to show that wow "it's lv100 clearing end-game". You literally would take 70 out of str and 5 out of body and boom, lv 100, repeat montage. It's just a waste of time imo. When pvp comes and its worth my investment and there is some kind of meta, I can build around that and show stuff off but until then, rather not waste my time just to prove something that can easily be proven for themselves.
It is kind of a waste to make builds at such a low level due to many reasons. the divine lv150 at least +6 is actually what makes the builds the costs and reliable ways to get the divine gear with + are just not gonna be available at that level as most people are still in NG or just got into NG+....unless you have smithing texts and would like to get by with +1 to +2 divine drops you wont be able to craft quality builds at a reasonable time generally those builds Project has shared can be scaled down to that level as long as you got the gear and weapons upgraded with +s and proper abilities and the spirits leveled up. You will just need to decide how to distribute the level points between utility stats (magic/dex/spirit/stamina), your offensive stat of choice and lastly stats required to enable equipping chosen armor pieces. but is that realistically really worth investing time and effort in? PS: ah ffs me...why am I posting this before going to bed?
GlacierRain u can make ur weapon +9 in 1-2 hours with no problems . by farming the 2 kings . im really not here to debate with u guys about low lvl just made a suggestion . for me personaly what i like about lvl 100 is the challenge i get by making it as effective as i want . good night man .
A bit, build kind wore me out. Brand new character, testing lots of armor combos, unhappy with most armor combo's, frustrated a bit since I wanted this out on Saturday at most. Wasn't until I decided to use this armor combo to where I started having fun with axe and satisfied with the power, but by then I was pretty tired. Sorry if the video suffered because of that.
There is no "regular level", there is no lvl cap (well 750 is). All of these "powerful builds" can EASILY be downscaled to your "regular" level. You simply lower stats, that's it, it's not rocket science. This build can done at like 70 by removing most of points from body and str, and using the same gear just purple versions in ng if that's where you are, there. Tired of that excuse. It's much easier to downscale than to upscale.
well key word is STRONG ! this build wont do nearly as much damage as it shows in video , in fact you over leveled it just so it seems powerful while in reality this would do normal damage when on NG level ( first playthrough from scratch )
The REALITY is it is powerful, for ng+. You can't deny that reality. What are you talking about? If this was scaled down, you wouldn't be in ng+, but facing ng stuff, which have lower health and defense, so you wouldn't get as high damage numbers but you'd still clear almost equally the same. Hence, down/upscaling. I cleared nearly as fast as my full susanoo build with 160+10 and over lvl 200, using a new char (from scratch) lv 45, using a ng susanoo mock up with missing gears facing ng content from region 4 ng all the way to even ng+ early regions and blasted every single boss and enemy almost equally as fast. The same would apply for this build or any of my builds, except since this is naturally weaker than susanoo so will the ng equivalent be. You're argument is flawed. First playthrough from scratch you shouldn't even worry bout builds, you're freedom for build potential is vastly limited by what you can get depending on where in the story you are. But you get the EXACT same stuff from from ng+ as in ng, the only difference being divines which are needed to be remotely powerful in ng+. You'd have to change somethings because no yasakani but the loss is minor. You would be facing ng content so your level is lower but so are the missions, so it's almost exactly the same, except scaled. Unless you're suggesting a build using ng gear that can clear ng+ content and do insane numbers, which is absolutely stupid to think that.
my point is damn clear ! you cant have this kind of damage in a normal NG game .. not talking about NG+ , you dont really think everyone wants to go beyond NG just because you do ? i've done the game and was looking for smart gear and build to kind of cheese all bosses for fun , your build doesnt really do massive damage unless you are over leveled and beyond NG ....
Yeah, I've been running axe exclusively since I got the game. (seriously, I dont think I have more than 10k proficiency with anything else...been at max with axe... forever). You nailed the problems with it. Skills do far too little damage....at least in terms of practical damage. You can destroy Yokai with "from heaven and earth" if you get behind them....but it's just so vulnerable. You really do have to run out of stamina to get bursty damage, but then it just gets interrupted. Even the parry on it is super weak. Low stance quick attacks are by far one of my least favourite things ever..bad range. Bad damage. Bad combos. The hold triangle opener was fixed to do decent damage and have better hit detection in 1.06, and it's noticeable....but still..meh. Even the ki damage and break seems like it could be improved. Axe will always destroy revenants though. I've always been the slow hitter archtype player, and the skill abilities from faster playstyles feel like they put axe to shame. It needs a lot of work...specifically with the knockdown charge abilities [and the useless bonus perk on Judgement axe] , parry, and having more reasons to actually use skills. The guard triangle ability is nice...but still feels like they should get a defense bonus while using it since it's not a sure hit...and often results in a trade. There's some potential with it though. Few things I'm going to try out eventually will be elemental damage scaling. With the high base attack, they get a higher percentage of elemental damage per hit. It's quite noticible this patch. I'm also considering a build that uses the guardian spirit that makes attacks unblockable after using a skill. But I can't figure out what armor I'd want to use for it. Eventually I may even try and combine it with that useless judgement axe for the lols. Either way, great video! I'll be trying it out for sure!
Fun little thing I notice when making the build. The number of axe graves you'll encounter compared to all the other classes is some 1 in 30-50 graves. Everything else is sword or dual swords, with kusa being 3rd and spear being 4th. That's how little people are playing axes xD Or maybe they're just not dying? who knows...

There's nothing really strange going that would let me do more damage than someone with similar attack (1644), using kara-jishi, using carnage (in most instances from the clips), and the honda clan.
I play better with dual swords and the spear. The axe is great, but too slow for me.
PWARGaming have you tried Atlas Bear on the axe build. It has increase dmg (low ki). The lower your ki, the more dmg you do. Considering Mad spinner is going to use up all that ki.
My weapon atm by having the same set is 1744 I have change attack to heart A+ but 51 in body everything else is 99 for core axe stats the only difference I see is agility stat A and close combat in which my case is skill damage 17.5 and familiarity A
Like idk when I did it .but my Max in one hit I've done 83K but idk how xD you never explained why you use inner light instead of intensity
Just finished my first play through with axe build. Felt boring. Tried your build today. I LOVE THE AXE! Thanks for your build man
I was the same way when testing, before I changed to this (obsidian before, even screwed around and farmed unity to try to negate extraction talisman with tengen but it was more annoying having to constantly use a strong attack, especially for the slow high stance strong attack, which is how you get the best buff). But spinning is definitely the funnest part about the axe skills. Heaven and earth combo also clobbers anything.
you are amazing! i was trying to do an axe build work and this its just awesome, gonna trying right now! thx for your content and keep it up!!
1:34 RIP in pepperoni my man
bro I've been using your susanoo build and it has worked wonders! your builds are awesome keep up the good work!! looking g forward to the spear build
awesome glad you enjoyed it!
I've done over 160 runs for the Yasakani Magatama and nothing. I did get a very good Kaido axe, so I'll try this build out. keep up the great work! Just subbed.
Your videos and guides are awesome 👍
You're awesome 👍
Onimusha!! First thing that popped my head lol. awesome build sir :D
Oh god dude after I finally put this build together last night all I can say is that the axe is super broke and it's totally fun, I would recommend this build to anyone
Now *THIS* is a damn nice build.
wow this is a great guide. trying it out so far and having a blast
Had a hammer build before I stopped to play I love it as well! You need to make a low stance spear build, you're going to love it! You feel like an speed demon while using that thing. Dps isnt so rewarding but it is really really fun. Gives the game a different experience.
yah excited for spear. Thinking a status focused spear build atm. Punches in bunches.
PWARGaming Whatever build you make, since you always come up with some crazy names and since you already used susanoo, depending on how fun/efficient the spear build is you could call it Wukong or something related.
Finally i can do my beyblade cosplay
Hey Pwar, how are things treating you man, long time no chat. Anyway I'm returning to Nioh, I kid of steped away since the end of the first exp not playing much since. however i saw it and was like fuck i use to play the shit out of it. i think i have a level 650, before the level dropping when the first dlc was released lol, Anyway. I'm wondering what the top Tank/Damage Axe hybred build is right now.
If you could Breakdown some of the new stuff maybe the build it would be awesome. I know its a lot to ask But if there is a really good build for current endgame it be sweet to know.
you can also go atlas bear/obsidian set and really double down on the intensity mechanic, focusing on tanking the hits while charging up your oneshot attack for all your ki.
Spear and axe are the most fun to play weapons in this game
hmmm interesting choice for armor that I have not used...I actually went on ahead and used the head piece and quite liked it! never noticed the effect even existed! (yes, apparently I am blind)
I have my axe build setup quit similar to yours but with a few differences in armor and weapons. and I also keep a few head pieces to use interchangeably
I use
3 Kaido-Maru(axe,chest,leg),
4 Warrior of the West(bow, katana, shoes, gloves)
and 1 Swordmaster's Power (head) (skill ki reduction), warrior monk (40% toughness), Kodama bowl or Nue Mask (lighting damage)
I am definitely considering to make that onmyo mage joe my main after this thanks to you!
looking forward to your next build since I haven't played or explored spears much (thanks red demon wagon)
GlacierRain Nue mask..?
Yes, Nue Mask.
It is a rare head armor piece drop from a Nue (electric chimera boss) which boosts lighting damage by 20%.
you should make a spear build!!
Haha, cant wait to try the axe now. Looks like all of Niohs weapons are fun.
Holy mother of Gawd.
What in the fuuuuck boy am I glad I switched to the axe from Odachi this is sick
very satisfying video!!
Rock you like a Hurricane was perfect!!!
I wonder how this build went in nioh level and high level abyss levels thinking about changing stuff in my axe build around
holy shit! dude you
CAN conquer entire SUSHILAND
hey man whats the song when u r doing mad spinner with whole bunch of enemies. I have axe build as well and its focus on strong attacks
rock you like a hurricane
wating for ya spear build! good work so far
Brother, I wonder where to get the armor set, for the kaido set the only thing I have is the axe, which is the excact same weapon as yours. May you point out where specifically that I can obtain those kao do armor set
consecutive hits bonus should work well, if it trigger on skill
Hey man!
Love your videos, any tips to get a good Kusarigama my level is 48 please let me know. Thank you so much bro!
That's still early. I don't mingle in early game often, however, what I usually do is just kill a revenant with a purple kusa and hope its better than my current. You repeat this every few levels. blue rarity works too. The fact of the matter is lvl is the only real thing that matters for wpns early on, the higher lvl one you can get, usually the more damage it will deal, conversely the higher level you are, the higher lvl revenants will be usually.
PWARGaming dude thank you so much I'm keeping every video you posted looks awesome. Thanks for the respond.
I'm gonna say 2yrs of grinding
So if i'm having a hard part with the game i should swtich to axe for a while ?
I'm completely new to the game, do i pick the axe and a spear for the build
SPIIIIIN TOOOO WIIIIIIN! (awesome build btw :3)
Brutal!!!!!!
BRUTAL !!! mi arma favorita***
are u sure your ki is reduced? I saw a video that SKILL's are not pertaining to the stance. One example is when u use Hurricane ( dual sword storm spinning thing ) in a high stance you dont get buff from "high attack damage"
Hey! Great bild. Tell me only one thing - Where did you get or farm this Kaido axe? Its Very Hard to find!
mentioned it in description. axe dojo mission in ng+ gives you a kaido axe, then you can farm the mission over and over for smithing text for armor or more axes.
Ok thx, i get it about dojo and axe, but how to get streight A ? A make a lot axes and roll and nothing :)
Nice build. Do you have any speculation on pvp? I'm grinding to 750 and it seems so pointless if it's going to be like dark souls.
zero. not that very enthused by pvp. Unless they can give me a reason to get excited or info to speculate on, I think it's pointless atm.
Guess I am just fantasizing about a gear based pvp. Makes farming seem worthwhile, and actually entertaining. Diablo 2 LOD dreams coming back. Min maxing for days.
Nice build video! But how do u lvl up so fast?
susanoo. took me from ng region 4 (after getting blade spin) to omi region ng+ in bout 2-3 hours tops (blitz entire levels just completing main objectives). Not recommended for 1st time players obviously.
Great build
Is there an efficient way to max out proficiency on gloves to transfer attack besides the glue item?
unfort not. I used susanoo (my lw build) to level and progress before switching to this build, and basically just did demon king revealed 310 mission runs with 20 attack gloves on, 5 times, and got all the 20 attacks I needed to transfer to my armors. One run basically took me from 0 to 999. I hate that you can't buy the glue nor whetstones (other than by glory which is boring to get unless you co-op.)
PWARGaming you can get whetstones from the special items at the blacksmith, when they appear. I check periodically and buy them, regardless if I need them or not. Glue for armor on the other hand, has been hard to come by.
Can you do an update on the blender build please..?
How did u get kaido axe smithing text.(assuming there is one) Because i have the kaido armor smithing text but i cant make a kaido axe at the forge. Please help ty
bosses can drop either wpn, or armor text. So you would have to keep farming him to get his wpn text, or do missions that award axes.
I must be the most unlucky person alive. Ive done him at the djo a good 70+ times ;(
im only 110 level without green things can i try this build?
i now on NG+ how to get yasakani matagama
trail of the master trick (youtube it), or doing "request for ginchiyo" or "demons daughter" quest, they reward accessories. yasakani is divine only, and regardless what you do, it's hard to get.
Hey project, with this build and Nippon I have noticed that you put other skills in weapons that you're not using, why is that?
How do you mean? Passives can be shared if that's what you mean. If you look at skills they'll either say "skill type: active or passive". Passive is shared for anything you use. Getting cornered boar for axe means you get that defensive bonus in critical if you use say kusarigama or have no axe equipped at all. For mystics arts, that was my naivety early on in the game (like blender video) since I assumed some of them can be shared so long as they don't specify the weapon type, but apparently that's wrong and thus I don't get them now.
To get TO the passives you usually have to invest in skills however if that's what you mean. Like armor piercer for kusa, you HAVE to get foot sweep, because armor piecer is connected to foot sweep. You can't leap frog.
Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I meant. I'm a Katana user and I'm loving your Nippon build but I was curious as to why you were putting points in like.. axe or spear when you're using a Katana. Maybe a respec for me is in order hahaha
Thanks for the speedy reply. Looking forward to your spear video dude.
Wouldn't a kekkai amulet prevent yokai realms from stopping the spin?
iirc it didn't, the yokai realm, when created had some weird stun wave efect that stunned you, and kekkai doesn't prevent that wave if you're going fast straight into a demon. that's the main problem with spin2win that was never solved. it's been a long time tho so idr.
What's your total playing hours?
How do you manage to aggro everything?
Love the intro style
what is better to have, familiarity damage bonus or close combat damage on a weapon?
max ccd. but since its hard to roll max, I usually just settle with fam. Apparently the more ccd you stack (from armor/passives), the less effective ccd becomes (relatively), whereas fam is separate from that thus you get its full benefit no matter what.
Hi, I have a question about how to give away points? I have everything the same as in the video, i have lvl 177
this nioh 1 or 2?
have you tried tri spark in LW?
in lw? No. Lw didn't come to mind since I had limitations on that as well (as far as gearing for lw). You can glitch and use mad spinner in lw by using uszaku since when you "die" you get put into lw mode automatically so if you used mad spinner before triggering that you would still do mad spinner in lw.
i just thought tri spark looked viable being in mid stance and i wasnt aware of the glitch but assuming it gets patched id be curious how tri spark would perform
How in the world did you get the "attack strength +A" on that axe!? I've re rolled mine about 800+ times and can only ever get "change to attack strength C". I'm skeptical it can be rolled to an A since I see yours was inherited. Any particular tips on places that drop weapons with "attack strength A"? I've got tons of katanas with heart A and kusarigamas with skill A.
I mean if it can be inherited than certainly it can be rolled. I actually made a 160 obsidian axe before this, and reforged A+ on it (with ccd 20% inheritable), so it's definitely possible. Honestly though I think inheriting an A+ from rev weapons is easier. I can live with a 10% ccd, you're only missing 5% damage from perfect 15% roll, but str B- and A+ is a bigger damage gap I believe comparison. It's definitely hard reforging, i spent a lot of time, getting everything from spirit, magic, str c, body/stamina A+, but I wanted str, so scoured the wastelands for an axe revenant xD
Someone helped me out on reddit, they have a subreddit that you can ask for particular wpns/sets fro people to drop a grave fro you.
Would like to see a table on what rolls were possible on particular weapons. Not sure if the kaido axe can roll "attack A+" natively. I've tried through rerolling multiple times to no avail. Will spend my time fighting revs trying to get that inheritable trait rather than wasting it on reforging. Will definitely check out that Reddit thread though. Thanks for the response and great job on your channel! Best nioh content on RUclips. Made a subscriber out of me. Really appreciate your perspective and data gathering approach. Keep up the good work and best of luck!
Use the clip from 4:10 to open man :p
How much damage does the Kara Jishi buff increase?
I was told round 40-45%. It definitely did more than kato when I was making Blender stronger in the update vid. tengen might be exactly the same buff (not 60% like some say) as testing both yielded the EXACT same numbers when I was testing for nippon steel. Kara wins here because we use kaido axe and kara provides higher lightning dmg than tengen, but it's only scraps worth of damage.
Most guides are for the N+ and whatnot. I would to see more guides on the standard first playthrough. I'm 80 hours in on my first playthrough 2nd Region trying to level up my equipment BEFORE I get the easier loot from enemy drops later on.
Arnell Long don't worry about builds or farming before ng+
I upgraded my Kaido axe to +7 like yours and the damage is only 1282
Are you the same level as me? max attack on all armor (175 total attack)? cta Str a+ on weapon? 99 str? wpn upgrade lvl alone will not get you the same attack.
1:17 1:34 4:12 Overkill much?
thank you
is it still working ?
Probably too old, unless you mean ng+, then sure. spin2win will work anytime, it just gets a bit more dangerous the higher difficulties.
we back boys!!! and holy shit
i chalenge u to do a build with the turtle snake :p
Ok, I'll give my full opinion on the cool turtle. I've tried genbu. It's HONESTLY pretty bad. At max 99 magic, you'd "maybe" get around 200 extra defense, which is nothing once you're past 1.8-2k. And that's about it as far as benefits goes, rest of the stuff is purely meh. I don't think it's good at all, Tengen would probably be better as mid-stance amrita earned provides a defensive buff. It gives yokai damage reduction for more defense (better than genbu's elemental), and you can change stances and have fast ki regen or big damage boost, or all freaking 3 at the same time. You also don't move...like a turtle xD Lw mode is same thing, genbu's not bad here, but tengen is defensive and offensive and last longer. best bird is best bird.
So yah using it would be purely out of wanting to be unique/use something uncommon. Had there been sets that also raised magic defense, I'd be more inclined to go full magic, but the only armor for magic don't have set bonuses. So while you may gain lots of defense, you're suffering by not getting anything more than a 2 pc set if you went full on. Perhaps I can attempt an "immortal" build of sorts, meh damage for high defense, but as I said in vid, next is spear class so I can have all classes covered. After that will probably be dlc, i might screw around in the future but atm, not a priority :p
im using it more ore less cause i like it yes. nothing more, have a turtle IRL so that might be why i like it :p
I feel like there was a missed oppertunity to use the spin to win song at the start but still love the build, video and song choices xD
Spin to win
I loved your video =D
how the fuck did you get below 70 % weightratio with just 14 stamina ? 99 str doenst give that much even on 99
Awsome
is nerfed?
Nope. carnage was nerfed but that's about it, still gives more damage than power pill with jishi. But if you want to be tankier then you can go power pill instead.
As it turns out when you use all the magic in the game it turns any weapon into something pretty good huh?
Need moar magic imo.
Omfg yesssssss
OMG!!!!
man, can't get a good axe drop
1st weapon I chose was axe
Gasha-Dokuro had a wife and kids. What have you done?
I'm struggling to find armour with Attack as an inheritable trait, or weapons with any good CTA x A+, not to mention trying to make an item any higher than +7. So if I want to try a build, I just save game on USB, make it, find I don't do as much damage because I invested too much into my kusa and sanada set, then get bored, and go back to susanoo build.
woow!
it's Beyblade
Beyblade, the video game.
I read the description as for the sake (sahkay) of saving time. Thought it was the best NIOH pun of all time.
show ur builds at lvl 100 that would be interesting video to watch .
For what areas? half the people who are lv100 are still in ng. So are you saying take on ng stuff at lv100 with a build? Early ng+ stuff (1st 3 regions)? Or are you suggesting to take on ng+ last 3 regions at lv100, which no would one actually do because you'd be at least 130-150 at that point as there's no reason to not level up...
some players stops lvling up after reaching lvl 100 and still can make very effective builds that can do shitton damage to bosses in ng+ . i think it would be cool if u showcase ur builds at lvl 100 try it on ng+ bosses . im a dark souls fan so the habit of meta lvl came with me to this game .
very few people ask the same kind of questions (why don't you stop being overleveled and play at a normal or lower level) and I'll say the same thing, my lvl hardly matters and for the content, I'm not as high as a ton of other people who show off builds at 300+, nor do I want to show off builds at lower lvls but only the early regions or even ng regions like I see many do as well. You'll just be weaker at lower lvl, but everything else is nearly just the same, given 1.) most of my builds are at most 215, so 115 higher than 100 at most, the newer ones being less and less, with my spear being the lowest at 155.
And 2.) Majority of those lvls are merely to get 99 in x stat, which is nothing but damage and not necessary, it adds 200 damage at most. If I can use the same weapons with same + lvl, player level hardly matters. Say this axe build, at lv100 I'll be weaker sure, but if I can upgrade to +10, then damage will hardly be lost at all and it will just be a repeat of this montage just to show that wow "it's lv100 clearing end-game". You literally would take 70 out of str and 5 out of body and boom, lv 100, repeat montage. It's just a waste of time imo. When pvp comes and its worth my investment and there is some kind of meta, I can build around that and show stuff off but until then, rather not waste my time just to prove something that can easily be proven for themselves.
It is kind of a waste to make builds at such a low level due to many reasons. the divine lv150 at least +6 is actually what makes the builds
the costs and reliable ways to get the divine gear with + are just not gonna be available at that level as most people are still in NG or just got into NG+....unless you have smithing texts and would like to get by with +1 to +2 divine drops you wont be able to craft quality builds at a reasonable time
generally those builds Project has shared can be scaled down to that level as long as you got the gear and weapons upgraded with +s and proper abilities and the spirits leveled up. You will just need to decide how to distribute the level points between utility stats (magic/dex/spirit/stamina), your offensive stat of choice and lastly stats required to enable equipping chosen armor pieces. but is that realistically really worth investing time and effort in?
PS: ah ffs me...why am I posting this before going to bed?
GlacierRain u can make ur weapon +9 in 1-2 hours with no problems . by farming the 2 kings . im really not here to debate with u guys about low lvl just made a suggestion . for me personaly what i like about lvl 100 is the challenge i get by making it as effective as i want . good night man .
Yissssss
this is hilarious
Dayammmm
god why didn't I become a beyblade?
Anyone who puts "Rock you like a hurricane" in during a montage gets a like and subscribe from me.
Beyblade? I thought it was a reference to Garen from LoL
you sound tired
A bit, build kind wore me out. Brand new character, testing lots of armor combos, unhappy with most armor combo's, frustrated a bit since I wanted this out on Saturday at most. Wasn't until I decided to use this armor combo to where I started having fun with axe and satisfied with the power, but by then I was pretty tired. Sorry if the video suffered because of that.
all these powerful builds are over leveled , i havent seen a build yet that is achieved in regular level but still strong as fuck .
There is no "regular level", there is no lvl cap (well 750 is). All of these "powerful builds" can EASILY be downscaled to your "regular" level. You simply lower stats, that's it, it's not rocket science. This build can done at like 70 by removing most of points from body and str, and using the same gear just purple versions in ng if that's where you are, there. Tired of that excuse. It's much easier to downscale than to upscale.
well key word is STRONG ! this build wont do nearly as much damage as it shows in video , in fact you over leveled it just so it seems powerful while in reality this would do normal damage when on NG level ( first playthrough from scratch )
The REALITY is it is powerful, for ng+. You can't deny that reality. What are you talking about? If this was scaled down, you wouldn't be in ng+, but facing ng stuff, which have lower health and defense, so you wouldn't get as high damage numbers but you'd still clear almost equally the same. Hence, down/upscaling. I cleared nearly as fast as my full susanoo build with 160+10 and over lvl 200, using a new char (from scratch) lv 45, using a ng susanoo mock up with missing gears facing ng content from region 4 ng all the way to even ng+ early regions and blasted every single boss and enemy almost equally as fast. The same would apply for this build or any of my builds, except since this is naturally weaker than susanoo so will the ng equivalent be.
You're argument is flawed. First playthrough from scratch you shouldn't even worry bout builds, you're freedom for build potential is vastly limited by what you can get depending on where in the story you are.
But you get the EXACT same stuff from from ng+ as in ng, the only difference being divines which are needed to be remotely powerful in ng+. You'd have to change somethings because no yasakani but the loss is minor. You would be facing ng content so your level is lower but so are the missions, so it's almost exactly the same, except scaled. Unless you're suggesting a build using ng gear that can clear ng+ content and do insane numbers, which is absolutely stupid to think that.
my point is damn clear ! you cant have this kind of damage in a normal NG game .. not talking about NG+ , you dont really think everyone wants to go beyond NG just because you do ? i've done the game and was looking for smart gear and build to kind of cheese all bosses for fun , your build doesnt really do massive damage unless you are over leveled and beyond NG ....
we all got nerfed :(
Watch Mastodon video!! Way better than this!
Yeah, I've been running axe exclusively since I got the game. (seriously, I dont think I have more than 10k proficiency with anything else...been at max with axe... forever).
You nailed the problems with it. Skills do far too little damage....at least in terms of practical damage. You can destroy Yokai with "from heaven and earth" if you get behind them....but it's just so vulnerable. You really do have to run out of stamina to get bursty damage, but then it just gets interrupted. Even the parry on it is super weak.
Low stance quick attacks are by far one of my least favourite things ever..bad range. Bad damage. Bad combos. The hold triangle opener was fixed to do decent damage and have better hit detection in 1.06, and it's noticeable....but still..meh.
Even the ki damage and break seems like it could be improved. Axe will always destroy revenants though.
I've always been the slow hitter archtype player, and the skill abilities from faster playstyles feel like they put axe to shame. It needs a lot of work...specifically with the knockdown charge abilities [and the useless bonus perk on Judgement axe] , parry, and having more reasons to actually use skills. The guard triangle ability is nice...but still feels like they should get a defense bonus while using it since it's not a sure hit...and often results in a trade.
There's some potential with it though. Few things I'm going to try out eventually will be elemental damage scaling. With the high base attack, they get a higher percentage of elemental damage per hit. It's quite noticible this patch. I'm also considering a build that uses the guardian spirit that makes attacks unblockable after using a skill. But I can't figure out what armor I'd want to use for it. Eventually I may even try and combine it with that useless judgement axe for the lols.
Either way, great video! I'll be trying it out for sure!
This looks like the exact opposite of fun.
Nioh and fun don't belong together
Brutal !!!!!
