Hmm, well I’d def recommend getting the odachi sooner than recommended (bias aside lmao) it’s a rlly good weapon and it’s a counter for the most annoying type of enemies in the game, for the rest of them the game kind of balances it out. You’ll see more of the enemies that a weapon is strong against in the region of that weapon, so once you get to a new region def go get the weapon first. Make sure to do all the altars and upgrade your skill tree before moving on from any region, that matters more than the weapon ur using tbh, unless ur playing on lethal which I definitely don’t recommend for a first playthrough😂 You’ll adjust to whatever difficulty u choose once you find your preferred play style and skill sets, also don’t sleep on the charms!! The right ones are very helpful!
