I just found out today in coop that you can kill Orochi before he even goes to his final phase if you beat all the heads. I thought I got disconnected for a second there but nope.

So if you want to be a complete weeaboo and hurl stuff, this dude's build is incredible. It works very well even without being maxed out though, requiring only a little bit of investment. I ended up working something very similar to it. A bit of extra bonus damage and unlimited ninjitsu then you're ready to go. Storm Shuriken is hilarious against bigger bosses.

hampig posted:I wanted to buy this until I saw that it has randomized loot. Farming items is pretty lame in a game that isn't called Diablo, can you play this and get max items without having to grind? well, considering that important gear drops are mission rewards and when you find the blacksmith, you can soul match stuff you don't want into your favorite weapon to raise it's level, your complaint is actually a non issue.

Well I finally beat Hino-enma. It just took watching like 3 youtube videos and going like 10 levels past minimum to beat her

She's a very hard boss for that early in the game, but on the plus side, once you've beaten her you'll be way better at dodging than you were before which helps with most enemies.

Learning to block was a big one too. Instinctively I wasn't blocking at all, having come off of DS3/BB. I found it more worthwhile to just block the whirlwind attack than to spam dodge.

Yeah, if you're medium armour then a mix of blocking and dodging is the way go. Heavy armour you're just a goddamn rock, and in light...well, hope you've got reflexes! Once you get into the game's quirks it snaps together.

Running around with A agility in light armor I just pretend I'm in Bloodborne and have nothing to block with. Any time I try to block anything more than a basic enemy, I run out of ki...

Honestly, come Way of the Demon that'll probably happen regardless of your agility rating. Not that it matters, mind - I'm at the point now where I can kill anyone in a three piece barrage of shuriken.

Later on you can get your toughness to 100 even with A Agility/Light armor, that will be a discrete jump as well.

I'm either blocking the wrong things, or blocking when my Ki is already depleted, but either way, it ends up worse than if I'd just dodged  It's entirely possible that some/most of the incidents are me screwing up, but for whatever reason, I do better dodging

Something like this would be great for the crazy challenge missions. Execute one boss, honor duel the other.e: Does attacking enemies lying on the ground grant bonus damage? Or was he just doing that so they couldn't block?

Takes No Damage posted:drat It leaves them defenseless. The one weakness, such as it is, of the build is that human enemies and revenants smart enough to play defensively completely neuter its damage - it shreds Yokai by comparison because none of them can block. Piece Guard (Ranged) and Lifeseal can mitigate it considerably (with the latter active on a revenant, spamming shuriken annihilates the ki meter), but it's still something to work around. I just bust out the old murder knife personally.

You should be able to. I've been helping carry a few people through Way of the Demon despite it being their first run through of the difficulty. Torii gate can be a bit awkward at times though! Also,  Ever get the feeling you should have been doing something important with your life.

I have them host the game. They choose the difficulty and select wait, I then join them and we go through together like that. Unless you're talking about random encounters in which case I think it's a crapshoot and difficulty filtering doesn't work quite right - I still get dropped into Way of the Samurai games.Snak posted:high five for rocking the best transform in the game.

It's unfortunate but yeah, that's the way it'll have to be. I'm in a position where I'm strong enough to mash Restless Spirits and Return of the Gourd, so co-op is glory and fun more than anything else. Game's fantastic.Snak posted:I pretend that Tome is finally getting to go on all the adventure she has been imagining.

You'll be stuck in C agility even with 99 stamina unless you forge weight reduction on some pieces. I did an Obsidian samurai build before the dlc and it was extremely strong even with C agility.

I went with Ginchiyo and doing the Odachi grapple attack is the funniest poo poo If they introduce a Ninja weapon in the next DLC I could try Okatsu next I switched to Honda clan because the 40% dmg reduction while at full HP is super good on WotD WaltherFeng fucked around with this message at 06:04 on May 21, 2017 |

Sneaking through a human camp doing the Odachi backstab on everyone is ridiculous. I can't tell what's actually happening with the Kusa killing blow - they...step on the people, and sometimes another 10k damage happens for no apparent reason on top of the normal 4k.

^^^ Or do you mean the backstab? For me that's always wrapping the chain around their neck and spinning them towards me while slashing them with the sickle. I thought it was slamming down with both the weight and the sickle, hence the two damage values.

They should just repeat the axe animation and have Tome punch her victims in the gut, doing one lump of damage. I think there's some weird animation quirk where the enemy's hitbox gets shifted during the initial stab and avoids the secondary hit of damage.
