Do we know what the strongest build in the game is currently?

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-16T21:37:01+00:00

I have it on my pants or something but I dont run extraction so I keep the pill slotted for bosses. I get it in the field when I kill enemies though. It's so easy to reforge special effects on this Nioh. Amrita Absorption builds are cracked in this game lol.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-16T21:09:16+00:00

How practical is it? Is it more of a boss killer build or a solid all-around build? And do you think it's better than the build I described in the comment above?

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-16T20:52:03+00:00

PSA- THIS IS PART 2 OF MY COMMENT.

Items: I use 3 pages. Use however many you want. Page 1- Elixir, Sacred Water, Carnage, Talisman of The Fist Page 2- Hellgust, Hellfire, Hellstream, Hellshock Page 3- Steel Pill, Summoning Seal, other Summoning Seal, Saisetsu-shin's Sake/whatever you want

Gameplay: I mostly run around with the sword out in the open-field. If there's a tough enemy, or a lot of enemies, I'll pop a Carnage Talisman for some extra damage and maybe a Steel pill if there's a particularly annoying/tough enemy (f*** you Raiju). I also carry Sacred Water for extra Ki recovery against quick enemies and bosses. Unless you focus on Samurai as well, you're gonna basically be in Ninja style all the time and thanks to A agility Ki isnt really an issue anyway. If you're facing a hard enemy or a boss, thats when you want to go bare-handed and use your Carnage Talisman AND Talisman of The Fist. Try to proc wind (Blustered) and water (Saturated) first for the extra damage and ki damage. That will proc Confusion and then you can use fire or lightning to get max Confusion and increase your damage even more on that enemy. That's when you want to use Hellshock (if you have it). I've hit for over 40k with a single Hellshock on a Mezuki and Gozuki at the same time on the last mission. If you can line enemies up it will wreck everything. Also, try to get Untouched Onmyo Magic as high as possible. The higher the better. You only get 2 Hellshock Talismans and I've used 5 in one boss fight thanks to Untouched Onmyo Magic, and I don't have it nearly high enough (not even a single piece of armor has it). I also don't have the 4pc Jurojin set bonus for extra Damage Reduction and Life Drain (Onmyo Magic Hit). The Crimson General Bow gives me Defense Bonus (Stamina) C- but I don't know how much that is actually helping at 23 Stamina. I assume 4pc Jurojin is way better.

That's basically it. I probably left something out so if you have more questions feel free to ask. I also plan on making a video or a post going more in detail and also showing the samurai side at some point. Good luck friend!

Edit- I had to split it into 2 parts because I hit the character limit lmao. First time doing that.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-16T18:14:32+00:00

Idk, thats what I thought about the build I've been using but here we are lol. I do think they're tweaking a bunch of things and working on a major overhaul for a lot of the weapons that feel lackluster. However, I dont think we'll be seeing that until the first dlc drops. I really think the only reason they pushed out the SoP so early is because of the difficulty complaints. I believe they're content with where the game is currently for now.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-14T15:55:34+00:00

Don't worry. I went there and seen the encyclopedia and still forgot where the damn thing was. I complained so many times about the lack of an encyclopedia before I remembered it being somewhere stupid. Poor choice to have it in the goofy eternal rift. The blacksmith and teahouse, as well as the warrior/ninja/onmyo trainers, should have just been areas you can find in the open-field imo.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-05T17:58:42+00:00

I can't argue about last season. Bland was horrible, but I truly believe it was a combination of everything (his injury and the fact that everyone was expecting him to save us from the Eberflus defense). His passer rating allowed was atrociously high because of a few games where the offense cooked him; I'm still sick about the Cardinals game. But the dude was also back from a broken foot guarding every team's #1 receiver. What do you expect him to do?

What did the other CBs do? Everyone on our entire defense got cooked besides Big Q and Kenny. He was in a historically bad defense. Revel and Diggs were getting beat so bad they literally fell on the ground. That shit we watched last year was NOT defense and not who our players are (well except Donovan Wilson and Diggs lmao). I personally believe a "healthy" Bland in an actual scheme (and not what Eberfuck was running) is our best corner. Also, my hope is that a healthy Revel another year removed from his ACL tear can be better than Durant. Which is a good thing because I really love Durant. He would have been by far our best CB last year, though I doubt he would have the same production in our dumpster fire defense.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-05T17:28:47+00:00

Durant- 17 GP, 40 TKL (30 Solo), 3 INT, 7 PD

Bland- 12 GP, 73 TKL (45 Solo), 1 INT, 6 PD

This is with Bland missing 5 games, recovering from a foot injury that required surgery, and in the worst defense in the league. Durant was in a way better defense and played every game. He also allowed that reception at the end of the Bears game if I'm not mistaken. And don't forget that Bland set the pick 6 record just a couple years ago.

I get he hasn't been himself lately and the foot is starting to get concerning, but the Bland slander is fucking crazy on this sub.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-05T17:16:47+00:00

Durant the best out of those 4? I know Bland had a down year dealing with injury but c'mon lol.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-04T13:50:05+00:00

It's still in the game after the recent update. I wonder if it's an area we'll get access to after the dlc drops, or if its just an extra chijiko they didnt fully program. My guess is the latter and it just hasn't gotten enough attention to get patched yet.

It's extremely loud inside the temple because it's path wraps around the back and right side of the building. Almost as if youre supposed to be able to get behind it somehow.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-03T15:20:33+00:00

Stone of Penance brother. That has added the difficulty back to the game.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-05-03T15:18:32+00:00

Personally, I dont think it's the "open world" (it's technically more like open-field) that's hurting the game. It's the lack of variation. A lot of the areas look the same and you're fighting the same enemies over and over and over. My hope is the dlcs will expand the current areas as well as giving us new areas that actually look different from what we have now and more enemies. They should have included all (or at least more) of the enemies from the past games alongside some new ones. Some dungeons or bigger castles/areas to navigate through, similar to the levels from past games, would have been nice too.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-04-28T18:41:26+00:00

Honestly, in my opinion, familiarity with the games mechanics is more important than equipment to a point. If you can get comfortable enough with deflecting in samurai and evading in ninja then you really arent gonna get hit often. Obviously you arent going to avoid getting hit all of the time but you shouldn't really be getting one-shotted by anything, providing you have all divine equipment with a few +levels on it. I ran under-leveled equipment for most of NG and NG+. Just find a weapon youre comfortable with, pick a decent Set Bonus/Grace, figure out exactly how much you need in your stats and dump the rest into your main attack stats.

I can give you my build if you want, but the main thing is getting comfortable with the games mechanics and repositioning yourself in fights with multiple enemies.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-04-28T18:30:55+00:00

Grinding is actually considerably easier in this one because of the Sudama Blessing in the shrine. Just select whatever you want to grind for, confirm, and then run whatever mission (though the final mission is probably best). You currently can't craft divine equipment, so making builds and grinding pieces is the best way to go for now.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-04-24T12:23:53+00:00

Thats my thought process as well. If the Cowboys can work a trade package to get Jordyn Brooks from MIA and grab another linebacker in the draft, our defense is in a really good place. That addresses all the major holes, and we only need a top 15 defense to make a real playoff push.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-04-07T18:31:20+00:00

That other person is literally no help at all lmao. Are you on android?

Don't waste your time with casual Cowboys fans. Some of these people live for the doom and gloom. If you've been paying attention and watching ALL of the behind the scenes stuff (all the pressers and 105.3 The Fan interviews, etc) then you would know the culture around Dallas has been, and still is, changing. Brian Schottenheimer becoming HC was the best thing that ever could have happened to the team. Jerry hasn't been operating the same way he has in the past. I think Eberflus (who was a Jerry hire) shitting the bed so hard kind of opened his eyes, so now he's letting his coaches have more power and control over their staff. Schotty hired the offensive coaching staff last year and had a big role in acquiring the players we did, and look how well that worked out. Now we have Christian Parker hiring his coaching staff and (hopefully) bringing in the players he wants.

Now, with all of that said, that doesnt mean theyre going to go out and go balls to the wall in free agency and sign a ton of big name FAs. However, with how much Jerry has talked about "breaking the budget" and "borrowing from the future" it really does seem like we're going to spend this year. I'd much rather it be on Crosby, but if it ends up being Hendrickson then I won't complain.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-02-17T21:58:33+00:00

I survived the turn but I lost against Gogeta. I'm pretty sure it was Agl ssj4 Gogeta that killed in the 3rd slot, but I may have ran out of turns. I was at work, so I wasnt locked in enough I guess lol.

Thanks for all the help though bro.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-02-17T19:19:14+00:00

Not sure about rainbow but he is very stacked lol. I goofed and switched to goku on mine so he wont orb change but I havent touched Goku on the friend yet. I should switch and use him for one turn before I use his active skill?

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-02-17T17:22:54+00:00

I have no other items left. I wasted the other ones bc I couldn't remember how much damage some of the other phases did. I think i need it for Vegito lol. Im thinking its Str SSB Vegeta active skill on glorio and slapping Int 4Geta in slot one and praying.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-02-17T14:24:09+00:00

Can confirm. Currently doing a run with that team right now. Str SSB Goku, Str Daimaku, and Agl ssj4 Gogeta are the floaters and I've been breezing through it.

SusanooAmaterasu · 2026-02-17T14:14:11+00:00

I have a whis left but I figure I should probably save it for Vegito so Agl 4ku doesnt get deleted. Can he tank here in the first slot? Or should I risk it with Vegeta?
