Snak posted:Backstabs count as grapples. Thanks. I did not know this. Zaphod42 posted:The biggest thing is that more ninja or magic gives you both more ability (extra damage) but also more capacity and skill points, which means more spells period, more charges for the same spells; more uses. But for things like fire shot or kunai or whatever, it does increase the damage. And ninja gear tends to give huge bonuses. Thanks. I knew about the increased capacity since I use onmyo magic and have a lot of spells available, but wasn't sure if things like onmyo weapon buffs became more powerful with onmyo points or if you just had more stacks of spells to play with. Am I right in understanding that points in onmyo/ninja will extend buff duration from a talisman or pill and increase damage of targeted abilities like shuriken and magic shots? It sounds like damage goes up for s shot, but not for a buff. Does the buff duration change?

Wait, so there's no way to clear a spot for an inhereted abilities on a divine weapon? So like, that makes inheritance really limited. Edit: weapon buff duration, and possibly talisman duration in general, does seem to scale with magic. Damage scaling is pretty tame though. I don't think you're going to make an onmyo shot build viable the same way as a ninja build. But you could make a build that slaps discord on with shots, I think.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I kind of want to try this ninja build, seems potentially cool! This is the build I have been shilling in the thread. It is pretty hilarious because you have the Iga set which gives you scaling off ninjitsu which means your damage is high thanks to dual scaling for kusarigama, you can absolutely trash humanoid enemies by just hurling a million kunai at them, killing them super easily without even actually engaging them, and thanks the Iga set, if you run out of kunai just pop your living weapon and get a huge chunk back. I love throwing weakness on an enemy and high stance quick attacking with the kusarigama and taking off 1/2 their hp in one combo.

How does the Dual swords skill Moon Shadow work exactly? I can't seem to do it consistently. EDIT: Found out my problem: It has to be the FIRST attack of a combo, it wont work if they start blocking halfway through. RatHat fucked around with this message at 06:58 on Feb 20, 2017 |

RatHat posted:How does the Dual swords skill Moon Shadow work exactly? I can't seem to do it consistently. you just hit triangle right after you bounce off someone's guard (or a wall) and maybe you'll travel around behind them and hit them, which does a lot of ki damage when they probably block it. sometimes they stand there and take it, sometimes they don't.

What the gently caress is wrong with the Centipede boss? Wearing all light armor and only a few lvls above the recommended level, for the mission, he barely did any damage per hit. Is it bugged (heh) or something?

And I'm done. 958 deaths in 61 h 58 m, 4.1 million amrita lost. (and 148/150 kodama found  )I don't think I'm going to NG+ it since I have such a long backlog, but I definitely enjoyed the time I put into it!

Nigulus Rex posted:Do you know where I can farm obsidian set? Both from the boss that drops them (end of Samurai From Sawayama). It's a 90 second run if you know where you're going, and it's a fast fight (parry him). Otherwise like 30% of axe revenants wear it (60% wear Kaido and 10% wear red demon anyway) Biggest downside is its nearly impossible to find a divine version of the sword (which you need for set bonus) from a Revenant and unless you get lucky with a boss drop (can drop from any boss in NG+) the best drop chance is off the boss.

Wow, this Sawamura castle stage is terrible. I keep getting lost, there's all these jerk-rear end spiders, and that last Kodama took me 25 minutes before I gave up and just used a YouTube guide instead. gently caress you Sawamura castle.

Is there a less tiresome way back to bird man or is just go fight the dudes on the way? Also I'm loving that you get more and more human shape bosses in this game to Ninja Gaiden fight with. Blocking an attack with some certainly that it won't floor you first hit is nice in light armour.

 Just a warning to folks, be careful starting a new game, it may over-write your progress in your current file!Thankfully I rescued my main run from a backup, and hopefully it's one of those hilariously rare things, but figured I'd throw up a warning.

Looking back, I'm a little surprised at how underwhelming most of the endgame bosses were to fight. I liked the idea of them and the spectacle, but the only ones that were really good fights were Oda Nobunaga and, to a lesser extent, Edward Kelley. The epilogue boss was definitely better than the normal final boss, but just way too easy to be satisfying. Maybe the divine weapons they give you before you fight him are too strong, I dunno. The endgame levels were great, but the bosses started getting kinda eh.

Is the dragon spirit going to be Seiryu? I want the other two of the four Chinese constellation beasts. And I hope if we ever do get Byakko, it's because we get to revive our Nekomata buddy. After all, his boss form's yokai description does confirm that his white tiger form is Byakko.

Have I'm thinking some of the blacksmith requests are tied to weapon types. Have to mastered every weapon and also forged every weapon? I don't know, I just have a hunch.

Righty-ho, video time again! Only barely scraped this win against Saika - my playstyle's about creating openings to lay down buffs and debuffs, and his style is about denying openings to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvb5X3B-dWA My weapon skills are coming along pretty nicely, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kuqAjaJrs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4i2UUibkYk

Deified Data posted:Eh, not worth it for a set I'll just upgrade in a couple missions anyway, guess I'll forget it. Yeah, honestly, don't bother crafting until NG+. Once you're in NG+ you can craft divine gear which is much easier to keep up-to-date with your own level (and, in fact, that's what you're supposed to do). Gear is disposable in NG and much less so in NG+, basically. Don't even chase set bonuses in NG. In NG+ it's really easy to maintain a set bonus (even easier if you get the "-1 set piece required" magatama) so go nuts there, but treat set bonuses as neat little side bonuses when you're lucky enough to have the pieces it requires.

If you are fast enough you can do iai strike / sign of the cross and a final blow to him. Makes the fight super quick and easy. I use magic, rather than ninjutsu, so it's elemental shots I use for that, as you can see in the video. My problem is that his ranged attacks, lock-breaking dodges, and so on don't give me adequate windows to pile on the magic I need to level the playing field, or heal if he eats too far into my health.

Darth Walrus posted:Righty-ho, video time again! I can't watch your video right now, but I'll check it out as soon as I get a chance. I think it would be more accurate to say that Saika is about forcing you to create your openings. He doesn't give you any, but once you learn you can stun him, the fight becomes about denying him. Which is really cool. Edit: ^ I beat him with a magic build also, but I dipped 1 point into ninjutsu for kunai. They throw so much faster than magic shots.
