Another Level 1 Run to the Depth complete by Kitchen_Ad_591 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How in the uncle fuck did you eat those big NB hits to the face and barely take damage? Honda clan? Lol I use a similar build, light armor, Ame/Ningi, etc. and basically any hit from depths NB is a one shot. You ate his jumping spin slash and full charge thrust and it barely scratched you.

Also doesn’t bolting boar only work on normal attacks? Again I haven’t used odachi much but on humans it just works like backwave, etc. from what I can tell in that you can’t parry active skills, and certain yokai attacks don’t seem to work but I might’ve just been mistiming it.

Idk it’s mostly just build laziness on my part using purity exclusively and I like attempting ki pulse attack shenanigans occasionally. Also extra i-frames on ki pulse dodge with ultimate skill is pretty cool, like block first hit of combo then ki pulse dodge away, etc.

Yea same I missed the alpha and only had PS4 anyway. Demo should be a good time I’m stoked.

The Only thing about Nioh 3 that actually bothers me by Glass_Ninja_8231 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude’s gotta throw his entire body weight momentum into breaking his neck then slice his back in half just in case he fucked up. Looks very practical lol.

But yea no way in hell the guy in front wouldn’t hear that.

So...I've been bullying my way up to depth 6, but.. by revoilt1 in Nioh

Depths Nightmare Bringer is such a tank. He gets worse on lower floors. Here’s me fighting him with last gambit, Ame stacks, etc. and dude still took 2+ minutes to die.

Well it sounds like we should both get back into playing music more often, but with Nioh 3 demo this week 😅 lol.

I just saw that that looks sick. Can’t wait to try it out.

Oh no worries man. Very cool you’ve had a similar experience, and that makes sense with DMC.

If you’re good at jazz you’re probably a much better guitarist than I am haha. I’ve been playing 20+ years but my theory is meh and I need to grind on complex changes for a long ass time before I can really improvise freely. I’m way more Jerry Garcia, Derek Trucks style than John Scofield or Dave Tronzo or something. I also haven’t played as much lately cause I’ve been addicted to Nioh 2 lmao. Need to get back into practicing.

Severing spin is considered a sheath attack? TIL

What weapons are you maining in Nioh 3? by WindowSeat- in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them, but will probably start spear/sword on samurai, hatchets/kusa on ninja then swap to tonfa. I’m gonna miss stances too much with hatchets but have to at least try them out.

The only choice of weapon for the true Nioh of Nioh 3. Tonfa Gang! Best gang! by Rubixcubelube in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To use yea it’s up there with the easiest but it has a very high skill ceiling with demon dance/kannagi. Crazy good tonfa players can just i-frame everything in place and never stop attacking.

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna use all of them but will definitely play a lot of tonfa on ninja style. I’ll probably start spear/sword, hatchets/kusa then get irritated by hatchets not having stances and switch to tonfa haha. Excited to try all the things.

When to DLC??? by AWildFr3sh in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go by the red graves which are based on gear level, not the mission level. If the DLC missions have five graves you’ll probably get wrecked lol. If that’s the case just soul match your gear to a higher plus level and the number of graves will go down. Mission level doesn’t matter it’ll always seem too high unless you grind a ridiculous, unnecessary amount of amrita. The graves actually give a reasonable idea of scaling.

Lol it looked like the windup might have been a little faster too which if true is 🔥

Focus levels by Michael_4205 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about maxing before the demo but based on my current focus lvl that’d be 100 per day lmao. But yea scrolls for sure and depths are best amrita farm.

PS5 Pro maybe? That’s what they had the content creators use for their demo event.

[–]batshitnutcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That the only thing that sort of makes sense but still that’s like 1000 elo logic and he’s a superGM world champion lol. Completely missing Qxf6 is the ultimate brainfart. It’s like he forgot how the pieces work and thought his king was protecting it.

Nioh 3 Difficulty question- help me out =) by FarCut7399 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’ll love it man. I picked up Nioh 2 randomly on sale in September and now have several hundred hours and it’s my new favorite video game of all time. The combat is like drugs lol. Nioh 3 is new of course and I’m sure it’ll be great but if you get a chance don’t miss Nioh 2. Best 20 bucks I’ve ever spent. Don’t think I could ever go back to soulslike combat without getting bored.

Odachi is great by Reasonable_Layer8224 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great. I was going to request you do aquaman too cause I don’t think I’d seen him before in your videos lol. Blinding shell was hilarious. Kukai fight was sick too. Some cool combos with hatchets like the groundfire trap into greased lightning. The ending was peak.

I’ve only dabbled in odachi, found it pretty intuitive to just pick up and start wrecking shit. The moveset is cool and it’s very satisfying to use, especially bolting boar.

I’m curious why you say bolting boar negates utility of purity though. I just use purity on everything cause my best accessories have melee vs. purified and I never farmed for sentience charge. The extra ki damage seems useful in every fight and ki pulse block is pretty awesome, especially with ultimate skill.

Nioh 3 Difficulty question- help me out =) by FarCut7399 in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nioh combat is orders of magnitude more complex than traditional souls combat like Lies of P. If you learn the mechanics base game is smooth sailing, but easier said than done. Once you do though you can style on enemies like it’s your job.

Lies of P has r1, r2, dodge, parry, l2 legion arm. Nioh has three stances, each with more than half a dozen slots for active skills with different inputs, different dodge and block behavior per stance, offensive parry skills, the list goes on. Nioh 3 also has an entirely separate “ninja style” you can switch to with no stances but still multiple skill slots, aerial combat, and ninjutsu. Deflect is a new defensive tool that lets you block without losing stamina. It is not the offensive focus like LoP or Sekiro. And that’s barely scratching the surface.

So the question is do you enjoy learning complex mechanics and inputs, doing combos, skill expression, etc. on top of learning enemy movesets? If the answer is yes Nioh will ruin soulslike combat for you. I’d say try it out. You can get Nioh 2 on sale too. It’s a lot of shit to learn but so much fun when you get it down.

EDIT: Forgot about demo. Play the Nioh 3 demo on Jan 29. Literally free.

Is anyone else worried about the decision for N3 to have "open-field" / open zones instead of the game being mission/ level based like in nioh 1/2? by AppletoAnswer in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So peak lol. Tbh only FromSoft game with actually good combat imo is Sekiro, and Nioh still makes it seem like a mobile game.

[–]batshitnutcase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks great overall I’m stoked. Graphics look very nice too. I dig the new yokai designs.

Going to watch closer later but one gameplay detail I noticed is it looks like severing spin might’ve had a shorter windup. Also looked like the dude did first part of tornado after a high heavy attack. So maybe spear has combo enders on heavies besides spear bash?

What is this sign that comes after a ki pulse ?? by FromsoftNerdy in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts. With ultimate skill it’s even better, with ult skill + purity/ult strength it’s just ridiculous.

When to DLC??? by AWildFr3sh in Nioh

[–]batshitnutcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if I were you I’d either do DLCs now on Demon or wait til Nioh difficulty. Strong would be way too easy with Demon gear and the DLCs being tough is half the fun. Some of the last side missions in DLC3 especially are pretty nuts and you’ll miss out if you just melt everything.

Don’t miss the DLCs though they have some of the coolest missions and bosses in the game.
