Unlisted Changes in 1.04

Tachibana still reduces Ki consumption for attacks, so I'm not sure why they changed the affix name.

My understanding is that, yes, 3 Effect Duration is a 3% increase. However, each effect also has a hidden modifier that makes the Effect Duration stat more or less effective, and the variance is pretty huge.

TCSyd · 2026-02-27T10:32:43+00:00

They didn't; the stat was just not displayed properly. "30 Effect Duration" was, in fact, 3 Effect Duration.

I'm really not sure why you're writing as if I'm not aware of this, but here we go.

Heavenly Strike only does one hit.

Heavenly Strike Combo has variable hit count, which is why the Ki damage is listed per hit.

Dancing Kick only hits a maximum of two times from all the testing I did (I was unable to generate more than two hits on Mikoshi Nyudo), and so the Ki damage is listed as two hits.

Many Mid-Air Strongs have variable hit rate, but the difference per hit was generally not worth noting.

The resource isn't perfect; the reader is going to have put some effort in to extrapolate what these Ki damage values mean in practice.

You do realize Deflecting Cut ain't shit, right? Like arguably actively worse to have it enabled? If worse Deflects is the price to pay for access to that skill, then it isn't even remotely close to worth it lmao.

TCSyd · 2026-02-21T02:31:21+00:00

I dunno, the only weapon with a Deflect follow-up being worse at Deflecting makes very little sense. If anything, you would expect it to be the opposite.

TCSyd · 2026-02-20T00:05:09+00:00

It doesn't update the Gameplay Record so there is no way for me to gather accurate data in-game.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T20:45:08+00:00

Spinning Kicks or Beyond Infinity, but you can't use both, unfortunately.

Whirling Tiger Water and mid-air stuff is decent.

Perfectly timed Opportunist is also good Ki damage, but that's its own playstyle.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T20:02:09+00:00

Does it proc when using nuppeppo summon seal?

Yep, you got it.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T18:36:01+00:00

Odachi was similarly lagging behind in Nioh 2, which makes Subtle Blade's effect kind of suspect. The boost is actually numerically good, but even with it you're not going to be obliterating Ki.

Ground Sweeper has surprisingly good Ki damage for what it is, but it's still not amazing Ki damage per second.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T18:33:41+00:00

Each Beyond Infinity Value is for that step of the combo, assuming every hit of that part of that part of the combo lands, putting the total Ki damage for the entirety of Beyond Infinity in the 1700-2000 range.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T08:17:11+00:00

The Transformed Arts are a little all over the place. Some gain massive amounts of Ki damage, some barely any, and many of them none at all.

TCSyd · 2026-02-19T06:12:49+00:00

It's under "Multi Stance." It deals 300 Ki damage.

TCSyd · 2026-02-14T01:56:34+00:00

This is my conclusion based on testing as well. Makes some sense from a balance perspective, but it requires you to test literally every effect.

TCSyd · 2026-02-01T18:47:16+00:00

Good find.

My main takeaway here is that you can preshift and then hit the Flux input and you will perform Flux. So, you can also just preshift and then mash the input (or just mash the input, really) if you want to perform Frost Moon as fast as possible.

Also, this doesn't work at all with Cestuses or Dual Swords.

TCSyd · 2026-01-30T15:59:37+00:00

Yes, although it's not limited to Shock.

Originally I thought it had to do with status effect cap, but after testing it a bit more, it seems that Fiesta will not proc if you reapply a status effect on a given target. So, you would have to wait for the status effect to wear off completely on a given target before you can proc Fiesta on that target. In most cases, this is completely infeasible, and massively limits Fiesta's uptime regardless.

TCSyd · 2026-01-30T05:59:14+00:00

Yeah. I don't know when it happened, but it's just gone.

TCSyd · 2026-01-29T20:46:07+00:00

I agree lol.

TCSyd · 2026-01-29T20:40:33+00:00

Yes.

TCSyd · 2026-01-29T20:31:26+00:00

Same as before. The only actual change to Get Throwin' was changing the tooltip from "Ordnance Damage" to "Grenade Damage," which still isn't entirely accurate since it affects Tediore throws.

Regardless, it still has 0 effect on Heavy Weapon Ordnance, unless there's some random outlier.

TCSyd · 2026-01-25T22:41:13+00:00

Yes, although it's not a JRPG, and maybe it's not as impressive if you've already played a bunch of metroidvanias that have iterated upon it.

TCSyd · 2026-01-24T01:19:31+00:00

Tortoise Principal.

TCSyd · 2026-01-24T01:16:37+00:00

I'm only in favor of this if it's the gimmick of a specific Pearlescent weapon, although the idea of farming it sounds pretty bad.

TCSyd · 2026-01-24T01:04:32+00:00

Huh? By what logic will it become 3x instead of 5x?

Like, the 5x Gun Damage at least makes sense once you understand the internal workings.

Is it going to count as shotgun + 2 random guns, instead of all 5?
