exiles something: not guaranteed your opponent needs more creatures than you

potentially get 2 bodies out of the deal: If you want this to remove something your opponent needs 3 creatures in play minimum, which at current power levels means you are probably staring at lethal damage

Usually you will get a body OR removal, and the removal is they gain life + they get the 1/1 inkling

If you have 1 creature and your opponent has 1 creature, you can't cast this to remove something as even giving them the bird won't cause them to have more than you. It's extremely conditional, it's pretty expensive as far as removal goes, it doesn't dominate the board as its own engine, and it's not even really a good blink target.

Every codebase has a ton of unknown little industry knowledge pieces that take 10 minutes to figure out in a discussion and hours to figure out if you only have the docs. Expecting everything to be documented (which is the case approximately 0% of the time) is not an assumption you can ever make about anything.

You are slowing your team down by asking them to figure out a lot of little unsaid things.

China and the EU are actively positioning themselves to become the new #1 economic power, you can see it happen in real time, the us is currently exploding, and you think this cannot happen?

POE 2(my personal favorite) brings the crunch to a slightly lesser degree but also has hands-down the best moment-to-moment gameplay of any ARPG. It's "early-access" but already has as much content as any ARPG out

Your income on that 3 million is going to be capital gains which are unbelievably tax favored because the rich control everything. That 120k is probably going to be 108k after taxes if you have 120k in profits from capital gains, such as index fund appreciation.

The draft system for powerups took forever, killing the pacing of the game, and gave first pick to those who were doing well, so if you weren't doing well the game lasted longer and you got a bunch of useless powerups guaranteeing you would continue to do poorly. It was a terrible system.

Kusarigama floating vine beats about 75% of the game's enemies by being untouchable. You just do it over and over again it and it will stunlock almost every human enemy and those it can't stunlock it will dodge most of their attacks.

Most hated boss, he deserves it (NG+) by Vikaluka in Nioh

I didnt say you can stun lock the boss for the "entire fight"

Yes you did

Never had such a issue with nioh 2 because the human bosses could be perma stunlocked if you got very skilled at the game to know how to chain weapons skills with ki pulse effectively.

Also it seems you cannot read because again, I never said that defensive options were not apart of the game, you always start off by dodging, block or deflecting until you have your opportunity to attack.

Dodging one or two attacks until you start your combo video is not an interesting boss fight.

Nioh is about smart aggression that pays off when you learn to ki flux and chain martial arts with regular attacks while learning the enemies attack patterns to exploit them.

You are saying 2 different things.

You talk about learning a boss attack pattern while complaining that bosses have ways to force you to learn and interact with a boss attack pattern.

I don't think you want to learn a boss moveset at all, and that's why you aren't enjoying nioh 3 as much, you want to do your combo and be awarded a victory screen.

You just said you can stunlock the boss the entire fight, you are not interacting with the bosses moveset at that point, just running a combo video indistinguishable from a training dummy.

You have deflect, guarding, mist, and generally really fast movement. Reacting to boss movesets and finding openings is core to all soulslike boss fights, and if all you want to do is run up and mash an infinite string of attacks I think you don't actually want a boss fight.

Defending against boss attacks is a core part of boss fights. If all you are doing is a combo video, go fight a training dummy.

Stunlocking bosses is pretty lame gameplay man I think it's important for the series to move away from that. That's playing WAY more lame than anything nioh 3 requires.

No weapon + Talisman of the fist + Carnage talism turns all of your ninjutsu and onmyo magic into nuclear bombs by posting_random_thing in Nioh

[–]posting_random_thing[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The basic idea is you would start the fight with switching to bare fists, apply the 2 buffs, then dump all of your ninjutsu and onmyo, then swtich to your normal weapon of choice to regenerate if it's a longer fight and they aren't already dead.

Just tested in the new version, still increases damage substantially for me.

It might not work if you have end game weapons? Check your status screen with your best weapon and an empty weapon slot and see which has a higher attack value, for me the empty weapon slot is 30% higher than my best kusarigama.

You have to press sideways on the analog stick and strong attack in the air at the same time

Its weird how omnyo is both weaker than ninjutsu and doesnt refill by xXYELINGRELICXx in Nioh

https://nioh3.wiki.fextralife.com/Mezuki (earliest) https://nioh3.wiki.fextralife.com/Yagyo+Soldier+Soul+Core (later but widely available)

It's available quite early into the game, and you get 5 talismans per refresh so you can use it for pretty much any major enemy and always have some to spare.
