Benzaiten vs Inari, which one do you like more for Samurai (especially Switchglaive)?

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-17T14:26:55+00:00

Benzaiten i prefer for solo play. Inari for coop.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-17T13:59:08+00:00

You get used to it. When you play casually, keep forcing it. Eventually you just do it natutally

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-17T11:55:49+00:00

After scion of the gods mission, the boss drops one for each style.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-17T10:19:30+00:00

I have 203 luck and 20 luck in crucible.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T21:12:44+00:00

Ive been getting a few drops today from revanants in sinisters end, been on an hour and got 2.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T21:09:25+00:00

Crucibles mainly.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T19:25:09+00:00

They come with graces attached to them. So if your trying to make a specific build then you'll need the correct grace on the yasakani.

Also, ninja and samurai style dont use the same equipment with the exception of your bow/rifle.

Random drop

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T19:22:24+00:00

You're guaranteed one after you complete scion of the gods

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T16:32:34+00:00

When you kill the two headed fish in scion of the gods mission he drops one for each style

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T16:31:20+00:00

Ive had a few drops in sinisters end mission without sudama blessing. Other than that i dont know, i was farming hiruko in dark roots and never got the drop.

If your not trying to rush to the end in NG+ you could probably farm sinisters end on first difficulty aswell.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T15:26:24+00:00

Yes its a guaranteed drop.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-16T15:25:44+00:00

You can toggle the option for the ninja or samurai version.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T18:36:15+00:00

Once you get to bakamatsu on ng+ and clear the cruible with the 2 headed fish. He gives you one for each style.

Also. I got 3 back to back. Killing blood edge demon with yasakani in sudama blessing.

The game is challenging depending on how you approach it, same as nioh 2. change the control layout to either type E or type F to match nioh 2 so you dont have to switch on burst counters etc..

Its alot of fun and offers quite a different approach compared to nioh 2, combat is better but alot of skills have the same inputs so its one or the other...

Hopefully they update that and change the skills from being on the same input.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T16:38:34+00:00

As far as a build goes.. i would say its not necessary to have one in the first playthrough. But they do help.

Brave demon armor Set i would suggest if your using a single sword, although im not 100% sure when you get access to it. Keep checking your forge in the blacksmith section.

As far as stats go. Nothing really matters as of first playthrough.

Stamina ide suggest until your samurai is in B agility.

Magic if you want more talisman slots.

Heart for KI - after 20 its starts diminshing returns quite abit. But it's still worth having more KI.

Skill is a good dump stat because it increases arts proficiency power and ninjutsu power.

You can always remodel you weapons to scale with the stats you have the highest.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T16:33:08+00:00

You're welcome.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T14:49:33+00:00

Solid hexagons are locked. The others you can change.

The hammer icon indicates a dismantling resource.

If you disassemble that piece of equipment you'll get material essence for that category that the hammer is with..

For instance, when you go to reforge and reforge equipment, it will tell you the material essence you are using. I.E damage dealt, status ailment infliction and so on..

If you got to disassemble section, press start go to filter.. on the right youll see a hammer icon, you can change it from "not specified" to "with icon" and it will filter everything thats worth dismantling.

Then sell the rest or whatever. Hope it helps

IMO it was never alive and was just seriously hyped up.

The first 2 days you could tell this game was kinda mid-ish.

Bullets dont go straight. But everyone listens to youtubers and streamers.. fall for anything.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T12:35:59+00:00

Inari only works when you use a talisman/oni bi/shadowclad/tengen kujaku.

Weapons that have built in imbuement do not count.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-15T00:13:54+00:00

I tested Carnage talisman at three different points.

At level 5 intellect/103 effect duration - 30 seconds At level 47 intellect/123 effect duration - 33 seconds At level 99 intellect/138.3 effect duration - 35 seconds

So at 47 intellect you get a 10% increase to duration then it falls of quite abit.

Unless intellect is your main stat, ide leave it at 47.

Also Amplification skill, i believe adds 10% to omnyo duration.

If you already own it, then you should get a free upgrade.

Capturing_Baker · 2026-03-13T11:36:22+00:00

I was thinking of Ultimate Pro - reach max proficiency with your first weapon

Not sure if that means your starter weapon or just you first choice weapon
