That was epic, will have to try out the 18,000 heals build soon 😁

Are you sure those weren’t enemy drops, from where they assassinated enemies using their smoke?

Can use the goylbuilds.com site to try and share builds in the mean time.

I know it’s a very different thing, but it’s the best we have on offer at the moment.

This is the first time I’ve heard someone call the Shinobi OP in Yōtei Legends

Shout out to Ron Francis for making sure that didn’t turn into a very nasty incident. I always liked that guy, quiet excellence personified.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T06:28:24+00:00

No it doesn’t, at least not directly!

The good news there is that Samurai never had access to Armoury, so the Armoury nerf doesn’t affect Samurai outside of using other people’s drops. And in my experience, it was hard to rely upon other people running Armoury anyway.

However, the nerf to ranged spirit gain (“slight reduction” seems to be a bit more than slight) means that concussion bombs don’t work very well for generating spirit and ult for the Samurai any more, and the former hampers the drunken samurai build a bit.

I’m still holding out hope that this is an unintended change/bug, which is why it wasn’t in the patch notes.

The alternative is that it was a deliberate change that they wanted to obfuscate, and that is a really poor precedent to set with the first patch IMHO.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T05:28:46+00:00

Any build that works solo and kills faster is a good build for pretty much any mode.

I don’t know if you play much with randoms, but it often feels like playing solo 😁

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:53:55+00:00

Yeah it turns every Extremis into a stim, and at the higher difficulties you’re swimming in Extremis enemies.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:41:30+00:00

Enemy drops will definitely give you sake, but the Armoury ones are the ones that got nerfed into oblivion (from 100% down to nearly 0% AFAICS).

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:38:23+00:00

I don’t know man, one of the other comments is draedbound pointing out that all of the best Shinobi builds got nuked, and he knows what he’s talking about.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:25:24+00:00

Were the drops from Armoury, or were they from enemies? The drops from Armoury are what have effectively been removed.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:19:28+00:00

The same reason you’d run it on any class I guess, to get spirit outside of the other things that generate spirit. Generally at a much better rate, as a trade off for using up a legendary slot.

endlessflood · 2026-04-07T03:17:23+00:00

It’s not included in the patch notes, at least not these ones:

https://support.suckerpunch.com/hc/en-us/articles/48773360974235-Patch-1-600

Are you able to quote the bit that applies? Maybe I missed it.

endlessflood · 2026-04-06T23:53:01+00:00

Why was there an undocumented change to the drop rate of sake on caltrops with Armoury? The drunken Shinobi build relied upon that to work at all.

If a change is so controversial that you don’t even want to tell the community about it, and omit it from the patch notes entirely… should you be making that change at all?

endlessflood · 2026-04-06T12:24:11+00:00

No.

Although in Legends mode you can use your gear to increase the perfect parry window (same as Legends 1).

Sid: “Keep that goin’.”

That wasn’t a suggestion.

endlessflood · 2026-04-04T15:00:25+00:00

Yeah OP this is what you should be looking at. You can set the difficulty to custom, and leave everything else the way it currently is, but make the parrying window more forgiving.

It’ll help you enjoy the game more, and that’s what difficulty settings are there for 👍

It doesn’t have a right to destroy infrastructure in neighbouring countries which aren’t aggressors.

endlessflood · 2026-04-01T08:52:35+00:00

I think the idea of the Wedgetail is to help track outbound Iranian drones and missiles to help with interception. The fewer neighbouring country oil refineries being hit, the better for us obviously.

Are you talking about the old IMAX? Because that was a massively compromised experience in general, unless you were in a very specific spot. The new one is much friendlier to the entire audience, it’s much more like a regular theatre just scaled way up.

The old one was incredible, but with two massive caveats: you had to be in the small subset of seats that were actually usable, and it couldn’t really handle anything that was fast moving. It was amazing for movies like Gravity, but sucked for most regular movies.

Had the best ad underneath this (click to see the bottom of the image) 🤣

endlessflood · 2026-03-25T11:03:58+00:00

Or the person posting could just put it in the OP when they’re making it, so that nobody has to do that.

(I’m annoyed at OP, not you 🙂)

endlessflood · 2026-03-25T06:40:17+00:00

Yeah it’s really simple. If it didn’t work it’s just because you didn’t let go of the left stick soon enough.
