Yeah that was in the first game too . It feels much more like Dark Souls stamina than it does Sekiro posture but there are more interesting ways to interact with it and take advantage of it than in DS. First game was super cool,, I missed that the alpha was happening but I'll definitely buy

its basically the same as a guard break yeah. one cool thing is you get the special ones for knocking guys ki down and sometimes enemies just get knocked over by special moves and that counts, lets you do the execute on them

The only part of the random loot I hated is when you'd kill a remnant and they'd drop a sword from 50 levels above you or whatever so it just one shot everything

Using the switchglaive and magic rn but I dipped into ninjutsu and the feathers are absolutely insane damage even with very little investment into ninjutsu

The secret to ninjutsu is actually the buffs. Their duration scales with ninjutsu power though so they're not amazing if you dont invest into dex. It owns to use two running scrolls to speedrun an entire main mission effortlessly. I dont like poison or paralysis as much as applying Confusion but they're good too.

It's the first boss to really punish the poo poo out of you for not knowing how to utilise ki pulses and burst counters.

Ki pulses seem impossible at first but its important to remember that its always always the exact same time for a max-strength pulse after your last ki usage. It's a rhythm, combo, dodge back, pulse. It takes like half a second or something. Once you get it down you realize that this game puts any souls game to shame with how much mobility you have in a fight.

if youre a psychogamer souls freak then unlock the skills that let you ki pulse on dodge and then you can more or less play it like bloodborne and just never block. flipmode is if youre always blocking, using a purity weapon will let you recover ki you lost from blocking using a ki pulse.

Personally I think the Pulse on dodge one makes the game easier, it's almost always what I use.

Even though I played Nioh 1 I really got poo poo on until I got used to not playing it like a souls game so it makes sense.

i finished the tutorial and beat the horseman and this game feels really good. once I got used to the ki burst system i realized you don't have a stamina bar you have a rhythm meter you need to keep the beat on and it's a really fun system

Once it clicks this game let's you do whatever you want and I love it.
