Gay Rat Wedding posted:The adult baby fetishists in DLC 3 are the worst enemies in the game. Change my mind Yeah the babies are super annoying. Mega defense with stone skin, interrupts what you are doing with hi ki damage screeching, attracting more enemies, taxing your elemental items. Overall the enemy I find the most annoying is the snakeheads from the early dlc1 in Nioh1. High health before you can get good weapons from the DLC, hide inside enemies that makes them annoying to spot at a distance, oh look, there's a guy on the tower with a cannon, that's annoying so I'll shoot him on no he's a snakehead with tons of health and now he's spitting homing fireballs nonstop

It takes forever and leaves you pretty vulnerable, but if you can corner a single enemy it will either completely destroy them or at a minimum leave them Confused with water and lightning.

Is there a version out there of the Ryomen Sukuna fight song--that's also used in a couple other battles--that ends in that sick duel-yelling harmony? The only place I could find it is here (a few seconds after the time stamp) and it's not very clean. Individually uploaded tracks seem to loop, at least the ones named Ryomen Sukuna. If it has another name, I don't know it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T0RZZAt00k&t=187s

Sloth talisman was nerfed to wear off much faster and it's pretty expensive Fortunately, a few difficulties in you can get accessories that automatically apply sloth when you hit with either onmyo or ninjutsu, and that applies on hit if you're using elemental talismans or a single shuriken or whatever, so you can (and should) have everything back to permaslow eventually as long as you're landing hits

I bought the complete Nioh collection for PS5 recently and folks, this game is very fun. I’ve been doing a kusarigama/shuriken build and it’s been great. I’m maybe cheesing bosses by taking out huge chunks of their health with storm kunai but eh, I’m still dying a lot so it’s not like I busted the difficulty too much. It’s my first Soulslike and I don’t feel the need to do it “legit” The stance system rules. I love being able to switch my stance depending on the situation, it really adds a lot of depth to the combat. Also exploring levels looking for kodamas or little hidden secrets is pretty nice. I like the feeling of looking through every nook and cranny after clearing out all the nearby enemies Game fun

Breaking the game is doing Nioh 'legit', standing toe to toe and blocking/dodging everything like a Souls game is the worst way to play it.

More specifically I Combo, Ki-Pulse Stance-Switch, Combo, dodge, Stance-Switch Combo, block, Combo, weave out because I hosed up a Ki-Pulse which isn't much like a Souls game at all but I wouldn't call it breaking the game. Breaking the game is always legit, though.

did the first region on dream of the wise expeditions. so far it's fine, hasn't been too rude yet. I'm glad they're finally using DLC enemies throughout the whole game now. Dream of the demon only added the sohaya guys and not any of the new yokai for some reason. There's a lot of new variety now. I know it will eventually become bullshit and I'll quit but until that happens, NG+ rocks in this game. when I started, I never thought I would eventually be 160 hours into this game on the same save. what's the process for getting a set of ethereal gear with the grace you want? Since you can't craft ethereal gear, do you just forge a divine set with a guaranteed effect you want and use "lucky drop: armor" until it drops with the grace? Or do you just clownsuit and go with whatever pieces you see that drop with the grace? I'm still just using onmyo warrior until I can get either tsukuyomi or takemikazuchi going.

I managed to get to Dream of the Wise and hehe, I'm in danger  I don't think I want build advice per se but just a general idea on: where exactly should I put my stat points?. I went through Dream of the Demon with Benzaiten, tonfas and kusarigama primarily (both reforged towards Dex), with Dex at 70 and a bunch of stuff at 50. I was just kind of haphazardly/arbitrarily increasing stats. But now I feel like I should probably pay attention to where I'm at. I'm essentially all about light armor/agility/evasion, and I'm at/around level 300. I'm basically asking for any 'rule of thumbs' for stat distribution for an evasive/dex-centric character

Morter posted:I managed to get to Dream of the Wise and hehe, I'm in danger Might as well focus on maxing dex. Get magic up to 30 if you are using it for buffs. Add in some con if you are getting one shot too much. You can buy cheap respecs from the hidden tea house. Their costs cap out at 1k glory which is nothing.

I hated the boss of the last main mission in the second DLC until I beat it, then I loved it. Normally if I hate a boss I keep hating it, but this one was cool after I was done with it.

I definitely got my rear end kicked very hard and thoroughly and also swiftly for quite a few attempts before it clicked. Then it kinda ruled. Have yet to try out the soul. Always reluctant to mix up my loadout, though, it's not like I use any of my Yokai skills. Except one, sometimes.

This get really brings out my butterfingers. I always get r1 and r2 functions confused until I play for about 10 minutes. I probably should be using soul cores more. I beat enenra by just being really careful because I don't really know how to play defense. I can never tell if I should block or dodge. But so far I'm loving Nioh 2.

blackguy32 posted:This get really brings out my butterfingers. I always get r1 and r2 functions confused until I play for about 10 minutes. This early in the game it's probably safest to dodge. And to dodge away, specifically. Later in the game you'll have more Ki and you can afford to block a hit or a few without getting winded or close to winded. The thing is even if you block it'll either get your Ki to 0 and your enemy can get a free hit, or worse, a grapple in. Or you get so close to it that you'll want to get out there to replenish your Ki anyway. Generally speaking, your stance and armor also play into it. Light Armor: Dodges use less Ki Heavy Armor: Blocks use less Ki Keep in mind that just because a dodge or block is more efficient that doesn't mean the other is a bad option, necessarily. But if you struggle to make decisions you can keep that in mind for now Low Stance: Dodges are better (doing a second dodge immediately won't make you do a combat roll) Mid Stance: blocks and dodges are equally good. High Stance: Neither dodge nor block are especially good, high damage though. There's more depth and nuance to it but that's probably stuff you'll just pick up on as you play, don't worry about it too hard.

High stance dodge has more iframes and travels farther, but is much slower than low stance dodge.

Too add a little detail to what Iggy above posted. Always dodge in Low Stance, it uses way less Ki and allows for much better positioning. Make Low Stance your default mobility stance: run around in Low Stance, approach enemies in Low Stance, dodge away/around them in Low Stance. Switch to Mid or High Stance for damage/utility, then switch back to Low Stance (do it during the Ki-Pulse window to built yourself some solid future habits). Dodging and blocking are otherwise influenced by your Agility and Toughness ratings, which are affected by your armor. So it is not a definite "heavy = blocking, it is the cumulative effect of your armor on those aforementioned stats. Try and aim for a "B" rating in both as much as you can early on to get yourself some solid all round footing. A "C" rating basically means you can't do that particular bit very well, so watch out. Once you've got a stable "B" rating you can try pushing either of the 2 up to an "A" rating, whichever you prefer. Giving Yokai abilities a place in your repertoire is an art in and of itself, I found it easiest early on to think of them sort of like a "combo finisher". Yokai Abilities will cancel most if not all recovery animations, which means that if you lay into an enemy with a big hit/active skill that has a long recovery, you can instantly follow up with a Yokai Ability as if it was a part of your sequence/combo. Chop, Chop, Big Swing, Yokai Punch - as an example of your babby combo, then switch to Low Stance to dodge around, or continue the pressure if you break their Ki.

when starting out, for yokai abilities you can't go wrong just equipping the big snake and throwing it out whenever you have the anima for it. Gozuki is also extremely good out of what's available to you.Sakurazuka posted:What are these blue 'online' quests? missions that were added after the game released. All of them are not bad to do as soon as they're available except for the chinese bellflower dagger.
