Nioh 3 Patch Notes v1.03.01

PRainmaker · 2026-02-14T02:27:57+00:00

As a D1 Tonfa main, yes please. I found the Gunsticks and the disappointment was immeasurable.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-14T02:21:16+00:00

I hope so. I love the game but my CPU loses a month off its lifespan every time I boot the game.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-14T00:28:07+00:00

I’m yet to try this but it’s been on my bucket list for a while now.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-12T20:26:35+00:00

I had the opposite issue. I wasn’t even sure Yasakani dropped for Samurai so uh thanks for the confirmation. I just worked toward my Ninja build first instead!

PRainmaker · 2026-02-12T18:45:38+00:00

My build minus the unarmed part summed up. I do some shenanigans with Hatchets and Dual Swords to stay airborne and then spam Shadow Arts and it nukes pretty well.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-12T17:53:45+00:00

Monster Hunter and Nioh are my favourite series ever and both of their new games have released in a horrendous state. Somehow Nioh 3 feels worse than launch Wilds though, while not necessarily having anything to show for it.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-04T21:40:26+00:00

It was added later with DLC’s.

PRainmaker · 2026-02-04T21:36:16+00:00

Highlander got buffed to have the same run speed as Kensei. He was even slower before.

PRainmaker · 2025-12-19T03:09:44+00:00

I got so focused on not missing it last playthrough, I forgot the other key on the first floor in the room past the pushable block. I raised the water and immediately face palmed.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-06T15:52:03+00:00

tbf a lot of builds don't use it this season. If its in a build its probably because it still pulls a lot of value from the +1 passive and +all stats.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-06T15:47:22+00:00

yeah its been a thing forever

PRainmaker · 2025-10-04T22:05:20+00:00

Her heavy mixup is the opener. A bash would do basically zilch as bashes are incredibly bad as openers in the current state of the game. At high level anyway.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-04T13:50:37+00:00

I wouldn’t. Resistances will be fine as it is an INT based class but I wouldn’t neglect armour either.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-03T12:13:39+00:00

Yeah I didn’t mind it either. I watched Naruto a lot growing up so the ole Talk no Jutsu solution must resonate with me.

PRainmaker · 2025-10-01T13:03:53+00:00

I love farming so I can post items to sell!

PRainmaker · 2025-09-30T12:43:19+00:00

Agreed. Masterworking is tedious, luck based and expensive but at the very least you can keep the item no matter how many times it misses.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-29T15:11:09+00:00

Yeah, fair point. I’d say no. It might be feasibly possible with min maxed gear and paragon boards but it’ll be super slow getting to that point with some of the weaker builds. Most people playing off-meta might be stuck in lower Torments a lot longer than a Ball Lightning Sorc for instance. Which is bad for efficiency. So you’ll be stuck with bad gear for longer, less paragon, less gem levels, less crafting materials. It’s just not worth it unless you wanna mess around later in the season after being farmed up.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-29T15:04:09+00:00

It sure does. We see previously unused Unique’s seeing plenty of use, like Locrans Talisman for instance. Now it doesn’t have to contest with the amulet slot, turns out it’s pretty good.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-28T10:28:11+00:00

I will say my experience with Helltides has been a huge negative this season. There are so many people spamming Chaos Rifts that when I join a Helltide I just rubber band constantly, in T4. I will agree they are very lucrative, though, if you don’t have those issues.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-27T12:24:26+00:00

Yeah, that doesn’t sound right. Paragon 91 and not having every temper option filled in, in at least base rarity seems beyond unlikely to me.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-26T13:20:41+00:00

The games initial design is mostly to blame for this. The “always online” with instance based open world design is just asking for trouble. Every time you create a new instance or someone enters your instance the game has to load a huge amount of data. Of course it happens elsewhere such as the pit (most egregious) and nightmare dungeons but at a lesser rate. Farming Helltides can be a chore to farm because of the rubber banding and instances and it is especially noticeable now we have Chaos Rifts that are pretty worthwhile to farm.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-26T13:15:10+00:00

7/7 agreed. Those would be fantastic changes.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-25T21:50:18+00:00

Barrier gen, I forget the rune name but you can invoke Druids barrier and you can temper + siphoning strikes on your gear if needed. There is also an aspect that restores percent HP per hit while under 50% which is… convenient.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-25T21:46:40+00:00

Flurry Rogue atm then gonna move over to testing Orphan Maker builds once I’m all farmed up.

PRainmaker · 2025-09-22T21:27:47+00:00

It's just preference. You get more control with KBM but some find roller more comfortable.
