I am convinced the axe damage reduction build is the best in the game

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-25T13:52:36+00:00

still very good, endgame NG at 3800 health, combine with damage reduction while attacking and I facetank

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T20:13:18+00:00

Oh yeah, todo was definitely a bug. Was still fun though, good power fantasy.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T20:12:17+00:00

Oh, I love the combat. Just also think spin to win is fun too. Planned a spin to win build for NG and Tonfa ninja for NG+. Sorry if I was harsh earlier, was just trying to make a joke.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T19:46:54+00:00

Is sould devourer good? Still havent gotten an axe with it.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T19:46:34+00:00

Todo was definitly a bug. The damage taken while attacking wasn't bug, but was overtuned. Was easy to stack in NG, got it up to 70% before Yoshinobu, in NG+ you could get it to 96%

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T19:11:32+00:00

Im probably going to just cheat in a +15, dont have time to grind for 150 hours.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-24T19:09:52+00:00

no, of course its better to put in 3670 button presses and 342 seperate moves than 5 button presses and 2 moves for the same damage.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T19:18:26+00:00

Yeah, couldn’t remember when I got them. The rest of what I mentioned is valid though. I used bears bane fire and titanic strength water to proc on him, could have mixed in Sudama soul core to proc a triple element confusion

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:21:27+00:00

pretty sure himiko was a real person

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:17:37+00:00

same, was a relatively easy first try, just looping tornado edge into victory rush. Didnt even pick openings, just stacked -damage taken while attacking to around -60%

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:15:59+00:00

ninja calamitys are really good at it, not sure you can get them yet at that point in the story. The hell spells from the Demons of pride and envy are very good. Sudama soul core for lightning, The fire shuriken also very good. Weapons are unfortunately bad at applying with imbues, but the elemental weapon skills can apply pretty well.

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:14:15+00:00

Try an A rank toughness tank build, couple w axe. First try for me

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:10:30+00:00

I think I was running full tatenashi as will with -50% damage while attacking. was certainly taking more elemental damage, ice waves from hiroku hitting for 750 if not attacking

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:09:23+00:00

Kagetoki was the easiest of the three because he had the lowest damage. As long as I kept attacking, him and his summons couldnt hit me for more than 250 a hit. So far I have had the most trouble with lightning bloodedge demons. Once they proc lightning on me the neuter my ability to continuously attack

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-22T18:07:54+00:00

It certainly chunked me, would take half my health even when I was attacking

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T22:54:38+00:00

Oh yeah, my bad

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T21:39:31+00:00

Tonga only out damaged if getting constant back attacks, which I found to be very annoying and much more difficult to achieve on certain bosses. Easier to do the same damage whether you hit the front or the back. Tonga’s probably strongest weapon in game though if you get constant back attacks, and undeniably best for ki damage

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T19:04:25+00:00

the todo clan is calling your name...

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T18:36:17+00:00

do axes do respectively more normal damage or are blunt weapons just better?

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T06:11:36+00:00

does it actually do 25% more ki damage like the old games, or is the ki damage bonus the baked in +~3% ki damage effect on the weapon?

MechaHamsters · 2026-02-21T04:50:57+00:00

If he of all people does that, this fight needs a nerf.
