just redo the training mission until you get all purps
start off by throwing poison shuriken until it procs, keep using the grabbing move if you are using kurisagama, followed by single attack, goes down in about a minute

That's fine, except the level range on the weapon drops is 70ish, and I'm now level 100ish.

Lifeseal Talisman was definitely the way to go with Muneshige, so thanks whoever suggested that. Not sure how you're expected to win without it.

They drain a shitload of stamina. You can throw one, run up and do an axe heavy attack and immediately get a free grapple.

Works on the bat boss too.

I think I'm under leveled entering area 5. I've completed all of the side quests so far as well.

The next mission is 90-something and I'm about 72.

Offering your gear at this point can regularly net you 30000 from normal gathering. If you arent crafting that helps level a lot.

Do I need to battle revenants?

I kinda just battle them whenever I feel like it and didn't know if I'm missing out on stuff.

Well I did kill one and I got a purple axe at like level three and that thing does like 400 damage

Also I'd you do the spinning top power attack with the axe don't do it in an open area. All the bad guys laughed when I hit then once knocked then all back and then they beat the poo poo outta me

Anyone have a fave element? I've been leaning hard on water because damage increases are inherently good, but I feel I should experiment with a few of the others.

Lightning and water are my favorites. Water because of the defense and resistance debuffs, and lightning because it's a mini Sloth Talisman.

Deptfordx posted:

Nah, It's Bloodborne all over again. I could maybe grind/cheese my way through the first half of the game, but I'd eventually reach a point I just couldn't get past, and this is kicking my rear end way harder than the start of Bloodborne was.

I need a slower pace, a stout shield to hide behind and the ability to spam magic through the tricky bits in one of these sort of games. That's what go me through the Dark Souls trilogy.

Nioh allows for blocking, though! Wear heavy armor--it makes it so you lose less Ki (stamina) when you get hit. Blocking is even better than in Dark Souls, because it's 360 degrees. If you're holding block, you'll even block attacks from behind. Tank builds are completely viable in Nioh, unlike Bloodborne.

tap my mountain posted:

No I don't believe there is a way to extend debuff length. I think the only thing that affects debuffs is the recurrent damage dealt stat which makes poison and fire do more damage.

Huh, I wonder if it's worth it for me to level Magic very high, then. I mostly use the buff/debuff talismans, and if onmyo magic power doesn't really affect those, then I'm not sure much Magic investment is necessary. Then again, using more of the elemental weapon buff talismans than I currently am is probably a good idea, so I dunno. I wonder how much extra damage those can do with high Magic. At my current 15 Magic they add like 60-80 damage per swing, which is pretty nice already.

I'm honestly not sure. I might come back to it in a few weeks/months, I've got some ongoing IRL issues that might be causing some bad game times.

I CAN say that all the gear and stats on said is irksome though, even the vast array of different stats is a bit much and not what I really wanted from the game (even if it's 90% ignorable, it's still there)

That tail grab is a nasty surprise. I actually laughed at it, I haven't actually seen a boss do a grab attack from behind like that before. But with the tail animation, it makes sense. And then you watch for it next time.

Yeah, I guess I can't really help with that because I don't mind the gear. It's mostly ignorable for sure, and most of the stats don't really matter unless you're trying to min-max super hard. Like the only real stat I really care about on my armor right now is that my pants give me +9% running speed and that owns. But if it just being there and the showers of loot and stuff is annoying, that's definitely never going to get better.

I will say that if you're having trouble with groups (I think I saw a post of yours a while ago about that) it helps that ranged combat is really strong and you can one-shot most humanoid enemies with a bow or rifle headshot. That helps a ton for thinning out groups. It's one of those things where going in like it's Bloodborne, it'll be a lot harder than it needs to be, but you have a bunch of options you don't have in that, like 100% physical block and crazy strong ranged weapons.

For what it's worth I still like Bloodborne better for several reasons, though.

High stance Square is actually not too bad for crawling enemies, mid-stance is good all around. I never use low stance axe.

I guess stances was kind of confusing language. I meant the sheathed weapon power-up things that give you increased defense etc. The fact that they neuter your movement seems like it makes them pretty worthless.

Yeah this is a serious problem. You can at least ready all the jutsu you want and change what is equipped mid-level, but that's pretty lovely to have to do. We need a 3rd hotkey set if not more.

Also kinda wish elixirs were a dedicated button like in bloodborne. Lots of times I go to hit elixir but I'm on the wrong page, and I end up casting some spell that puts me in a long animation and I get murdered. :(

Equal parts spear and katana right now. Body/Heart/Skill/Spirit mostly, though I'm splashing into Magic too.

Red Demon set owns, though, and looks awesome with Enko and a fire spear. Spearfall is stupidly strong.

I just put elixers at the top of both pages.

That's right, you can bind items to seperate shortcuts on each page.

So yeah, I really o ly have 6 slots then, but that's plenty.
