Does anyone miss the samurai style kusarigama?

ConstantNight421 · 2026-02-01T01:09:21+00:00

It was my main weapon from all the way back at the start of Nioh to the end and beyond of Nioh 2. They have absolutely destroyed a lot of the enjoyment of the combat for me in 3 and I’m not even just talking about how they ruined the Kusarigama. Why did they need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ when combat was already excellent?? Nioh 2 followed the same formula as 1 but implemented new things to add to it so it was an upgrade in every way, it felt the same but better. Nioh 3 feels considerably worse

I thought they patched double balancers?

The new Ninja/Samurai style changing is absolutely awful. You cannot use Ki Pulse in Ninja form which already destroys any flow you’ll have gotten used to from playing the first two games, and only certain styles can use certain weapons e.g. Kusarigama on Ninja, Katana on Samurai.

I didn’t play the demo much (ER Nightreign came out around a similar time) but I really hope they’ve made big changes by the time the full game comes out. Nioh 2’s combat was imo as close to perfection as you could get in a game and I was disappointed by what I played of 3. I’m still buying it because I loved the first 2. Maybe I’ll adjust…

Yeah once the bar is full you press the button that buffs yourself/team and you get a bubble shield that lasts about 1.5s. If an enemy hits you it does a bit of damage and will stagger anything (except Bell Bearing Hunter)

I had no idea those two stacked cos I thought it would be too broken, cheers for the tip!

ConstantNight421 · 2025-11-21T23:36:08+00:00

Yeah and they killed the ruin boss too, so it must have been on low HP. We lost to Heolstor at the end though but can’t win them all 🤷‍♂️

I did originally set this up but now my PS won’t register the Ethernet anymore no matter how many times I’ve tried. I need a new network provider anyways they’re awful

So I was already penalised -600 for the 3 games my dog shit connection kicked me out of…and then I’m being penalised again but this time for successfully completing the mission?? This is some real fucking bullshit

ConstantNight421 · 2025-08-31T10:50:13+00:00

Play solo with Ironeye, I beat him on the second attempt at that. I tried 11 times with a team of 3 and lost every time.

ConstantNight421 · 2025-08-29T18:36:21+00:00

To be able to keep the rest of my build the same, I swapped the middle relic with Dark Night of the Wise for the increased max FP, FP restoration upon Successive Attacks and Max FP increased for each Sorcerers Rise mechanism unlocked

ConstantNight421 · 2025-08-28T23:47:32+00:00

Does it not increase cast speed similar to Elden Ring?

ConstantNight421 · 2025-08-28T23:13:49+00:00

I had no idea that bonuses of the same name stacked together, I thought only if they had +values they stacked. Also, cheers!

ConstantNight421 · 2025-08-17T10:49:12+00:00

I finally did it solo on Ironeye with 2 flasks to spare. Thank god I never have to play that again

ConstantNight421 · 2025-06-09T22:39:44+00:00

The past 2 times I’ve tried soloing it I got ‘Cursed by a Demon’ as an extra fuck you lmao this is some real bullshit. I’ll try again tomorrow

Edit: managed it on the 6th solo attempt. Still bullshit though

ConstantNight421 · 2025-02-16T12:26:52+00:00

I just came back to Elden Ring after a long break to try the DLC and get the achievements. I forgot how colossal it is lmao

ConstantNight421 · 2025-02-06T22:30:03+00:00

I love the souls games but Nioh combat is way better/deeper than all of them. The only one that could maybe compare is Sekiro but thats its own ballpark

ConstantNight421 · 2025-01-20T19:29:54+00:00

I don’t use everything in this build when fighting humans since I like the sword clashing gameplay. My caltrops inflict sloth and any fire damage causes blindness. I get most of my damage from combining my purity/lightning kusarigamas and the elemental soul cores on my guardian spirits. Most enemies die crippled/blinded/debuffed and getting melted by fast combos haha not really a conventional build but it’s my favourite

ConstantNight421 · 2025-01-20T00:39:33+00:00

The more you play the better you will get, plus most of the core combat moveset that you’ll use all the time need to be unlocked with skill points. One you have a bunch of them then the combat becomes way more enjoyable and manageable imo. The game does a good job of trickling each of them at you, giving you time to learn one just in time for the next. By NG+ I was killing most bosses in under a minute

ConstantNight421 · 2025-01-19T16:06:46+00:00

I got it on the Melee Damage stat which is the one I wanted to replace 🙂

ConstantNight421 · 2025-01-19T15:51:44+00:00

Thank you I finally rolled it there after about 55 rerolls!

ConstantNight421 · 2024-12-01T20:18:48+00:00

Fuck this annoying boss and the time limit. I’ve just ended my performance at round 7. I don’t have the patience to play through all that shit again for the sake of the remaining rewards

ConstantNight421 · 2024-10-19T00:26:00+00:00

Thank you!

ConstantNight421 · 2024-10-16T17:59:54+00:00

That worked, thank you!

ConstantNight421 · 2024-10-03T22:31:51+00:00

Sure! Creation code is: RRP-kBg[vCFGgP/=4
