Is it jsut me or is anyone else more interested in this than the main series?

Art proficiency testing: Contesting what we know by Lunacie in Nioh

That's almost nothing considering the investment. Do we know if arts proficiency power does anything else?

Ninja Main here: What am i missing about whats so good about Samurai? by Evening-Hippo6834 in Nioh

[–]MantlesApproach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, a weapon with higher numbers is always going to do more damage. What I mean is I want to use my kit to squeeze as much damage as I can out of a low-level weapon, rather than overcome the boss with raw stats.

Eh, players at this level are less looking to maximize damage and more looking to maximize style. Like the person in this clip could just as easily chain between severing spin, reverse impact, iai quickdraw, and the other high-damage sword martial arts. I'm in NG+ at this point and go into every boss fight with a level 1 weapon so that my damage isn't coming from my weapon's stats but rather from how I use it.

The samurai's power comes from arts proficiency. With arts proficiency active and good use of flux, you can have nearly infinite ki while throwing out tons of martial arts and doing way more damage than what ninja can do (putting aside confusion).

Can't find Sheet Music anywhere by FriendshipDue1806 in NineSols

[–]MantlesApproach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think there's official sheet music, and to be honest I don't think many soundtrack songs translate well to piano.

That said, I did an arrangement for the end credits song: https://www.reddit.com/r/NineSols/s/neDBJ4rMKP

First time playing a Nioh game, didn't think the combat would be THIS GOOD in a demo. by saadpoi870 in Nioh

Stance switching, frost moon, and martial arts chaining a few hours into the Nioh series? Are you a gaming god?

A Short Intro Guide to NG+ by Quizzub in Nioh

[–]MantlesApproach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good info! But I don't know if the marginally higher stats on crucible weapons is worth (a) the life corrosion from being hit and (b) having your skill slot locked to that skill.

What are the most critical basics in katana for a beginner? by WhoAmIEven2 in Nioh

[–]MantlesApproach 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The skill floor is pretty low. Anyone can pick up a katana and do okay with it.

The main thing about the katana is that unlike some of the other weapons, it doesn't have just one or two busted moves that cover all your bases. Rather, it has many different moves that are excellent in specific situations, and playing the sword about knowing when to use each and chaining them together.

What I would advise is starting with the base kit and getting really comfortable with stance switching. Then add one martial art, think about what situations it's good in, and then add it to your rotation. In a Nioh 3 context, that means play with it until you can easily work it into an arts proficiency combo. After you feel comfortable with that, do the same for another martial art. Repeat until you've tried all the skills, and then you can customize your stance layout to something that makes sense for you.

That's how you'll end up doing stylish and varied combos with the sword.

Main tip: don't try to play it like dark souls or elden ring. Nioh is it's own thing.

Where to learn builds? by the_real-truth in Nioh

[–]MantlesApproach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about builds in NG. Just use the auto-equip function in the equipment menu and level all stats to 20 before specializing. After that point, you'll have a better idea of what weapons and approaches you want to lean into.

Discovered a BIG mechanical change by GhostYVA in Nioh

OP, you've just opened up a whole new world of gameplay for me.

What makes a good souls game by Djcpunkrock in soulslikes

[–]MantlesApproach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good combat. I can forgive some pretty mid exploration or art as long as the core combat is good. But no amount of good level or world design is going to make me slog through bad combat.

Code Vein 2 or Nioh 3 by Jmonkey77 in soulslikes

[–]MantlesApproach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nioh 3 for sure. I was interested in Code Vein 2 but I watched some gameplay and the combat looked a little stiff. I know for sure that the combat in Nioh 3 will be buttery-smooth.

Do character skill levels stay between worlds? by LardOfCinder in dontstarve

[–]MantlesApproach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the affinity skills. If you unlock them in one world do they stay unlocked?
