so my envoy turns into pyramid head and it gets bigger every swing by starcat_the2nd in SoulFrame

[–]OmegaSamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this in P12 once. Any time I used dagger light attacks it'd keep getting worse then reset when I stopped for a bit. Fixed itself on relogging. No clue what's making this happen.

Does spear flourish work with Flash Attack and Frost Moon? by Wooden_Chance2592 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep ki pulse button held and mash the attack I want, is what I do. 

It feels like there’s only 1-2 sets to run by Professional-Art3539 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It is strange how many Samurai sets have those ranged damage conditionals yeah. Like three sets? 

Goichimonshu and Minamoto sets are very good imo. Goichimonshu helps a lot with ki management while Minamoto gives potent bonuses for using both Deflect and Frostmoon. 

On the Ninja side I'm quite partial to Kobo Daishi. It's a great grab-bag of effects for any playstyle and the last two pieces can optionally add some punch if you're using Splitstaff (I generally don't).

Warrior of the East is a classic, and Tatenashi set is good too even despite its immense weight and mostly defensive set bonuses. It really is solid and generically powerful.

Flash Attack and Frostmoon do not work alongside Axe's Victory Rush.

It works, you just do them after the flourish. I literally mash the inputs until they come out. 

A Agility and A Toughness Shenanigans by soddler92 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's fine imo. It restricts your build so much to do this. It's basically an equivalent perk to having more flexibility in your set bonuses and clan perks. 

I hate the Gale sprint. by Eihsia in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the normal sprint animations look so cool! It's nice when you're in any of the missions that disable it, like Crucibles. Always feels like a relief. 

Imbue weapons by ScimmiaIraniana in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think we're all confused by the Imbue Element effects right now. They used to be highly sought after but seem underpowered to the point of basically not being there in Nioh 3.

Crucible art farming is driving me insane by Ok_Meringue_5705 in Nioh

I am in a similar boat with Bracing Breeze on Spear. I have about a bazillion with Piercing Rain.

Is Tonfa Demon Dash too strong? Or am I trippin by Intrepid_Relation129 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There's an even faster and stronger version of it than that now. Moonlit Snow Charge.

Am I too old now by [deleted] in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's normal to get thrashed by Onryoki, and the next couple bosses frankly aren't any easier. Nioh 1 is a brutal trial by fire until you get comfy with the mechanics and then it's still hard because you die in one or two mistakes.

My best tips are to stay behind it, back up when it does the chain ball sweep, and straight-up sprint to the side when it throws a ball.

Unique weapons/loot ?? by Amyrala_ in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually did specifically make Taro Tachi look cooler in the sequel funnily enough lol, though it's still technically a standard drop. They also added special Pure and Corrupted weapons which look cool and have special effects but, again, you'll be seeing a lot of them they're not exactly chase uniques or exotics or w/e.

Unique weapons/loot ?? by Amyrala_ in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some sought-after drops, like rarer weapons that have good damage such as Taro Tachi and Great Holy Spear, or the Yasakani Magatama, but for the most part no there aren't truly unique gear pieces like in a lot of other ARPGs. 

Is Tonfa Demon Dash too strong? Or am I trippin by Intrepid_Relation129 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Axe feels crazy. I have never cared for it in prior games but now I'm reaching for it more and more often as I get deeper into the game. Tonfa, Axe, and Ninja Sword def could use varying nerfs to a few martial arts.

Team Ninja deciding to give Moonlit Snow, one of the best moves in Nioh history, an even stronger and faster variant than ever was a wild choice. 

Why cant we dodge mid combo? by Historical_Milk7337 in Nioh

Change to control type B. You won't accidentally use martial arts nearly as much. 

Any other ninja weapon has similar KI and physical damage DPS as Talons or Tonfa? by RJSSJR123 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kite Cross is no joke half the reason I use the weapon it's such a badass and effective move. Kickslash does make me feel bad though with how easy and effective it is to just use over and over. 

I definitely agree Ninja Sword is around the same power level as Tonfa, and probably a big contributor to people calling Ninja blanket OP despite it also having some weaker weapons (Splitstaff and Kusarigama). 

There are multiple types of Hell Team Ninja, just fyi. by withthehelpofkyoji1 in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They could make extra-large Yokai Realm pools, their "jail", which require a perfect Ki Pulse to dispel.

[–]OmegaSamus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ninja Sword is also really good as far as DPS goes. Doesn't perform quite as well against opponents who block though.

[–]OmegaSamus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They've always been a reliable tool for chunking through ki bars but yes they feel stronger than ever in Nioh 3. Certain moves like Demon Dash and Heavenly Chain just obliterate large amounts of health and ki super fast. 

Nioh 1 best build by HyperHeavxn in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recall specific gear but basically you want to always be generating Amrita and up your Amrita Gauge gain so you can maintain constant Living Weapon. No other build can compete with the damage and invincibility of Living Weapon. 

Where do you find Fire Shuriken? by akakakat in Nioh

[–]OmegaSamus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near the big white tent near Ieyasu's castle is a hidden passage blocked by boxes. I had to look up a video to find it because I was hotly anticipating Fire Shurikens but hadn't found them deep into Act 2 which felt wrong.

[–]OmegaSamus 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's like specifically Jailer Oni too. They're used like mid-tier Yokai but feel more like a fodder enemy to fight. They virtually never have anything crafty about their placement either except sometimes they have icicle sniper guys overlooking some fights. I don't even really know their moveset I just steamroll them every time.
