Fair list. Love the fact you put at n.1 the most useful item for all class and not the most OP of the game. My grind for skipping stone bow and forbidden medicine was a feast ! So my n1 is forbidden medicine. Love this type of content btw. Ty man!!!
Yea I had to be more objective when making this list! Haha It surely helps that, thanks to all you guys, I have played every class so I can definitely say the Spirit Kunai has made an appearance in almost every build I have tried! I'm glad you liked it brother! I will try to do more like these 😊🙏
I like the video. As always. I disagree with the spirit kunai being inconsistent with damage. I always get the same damage, never felt inconsistent for me
Great video man! I liked the analysis of each item. I have enjoyed this channel and you have helped me improve my game so thank you! Some things that I thought about. Do you prefer masamune over stone striker or master katana? I know the ronin build that uses way of the flame and heavenly strike is quite powerful. I have not tried it but It looked kinda strong! Some other video ideas: 1. Class analysis. Perhaps give a video explaining each class in detail and the pros and cons of the 4, possible build ideas. 2. Talk about the bottom 5 legendaries, or the ones that didn't make the list. Why they are they overlooked and maybe give your opinion on how they could be buffed to be viable (all are usable but I think you know what I mean).
Oooooo I like your video ideas 💡😯😁 I’d like to see a video on the not so good legendaries list 👌🏼 he can talk trash and it can be all good fun, it can be funny 😂 while being serious on his opinions on how he thinks they should be buffed, yes I agree with this idea 😌
Thank you brother! I am glad I have been able to help you! How awesome 🙏😍 I would say I do prefer Masamune's Edge as a legendary over the other two... Masters Katana is just too much for me! Lol I rarely have time to think about switching through Wind/Water stance with M.E. .. Using the Masters Katana was just too much for me! haha. As for the Stone Striker Ronin Build, I have tried it before! It just wasn't for me, unfortunately ❤️ These are awesome ideas! I may have to check them out!! LOVE IT 😍
oooooo, real nice list bro! I definitely wanted so badly to put the Skipping Stone bow first considering I am a Hunter main! haha Love the list brother 😍
Finally got a chance to watch the video bro. I love how you broke down the different gear, brought some insight into how careful one should be about putting together builds for different characters. At the end of the day it's all up to the individual and their style of play. Great content bro 💯
AYEEE! Hope school went well brother! I am glad you liked it! This video took FAR tooo long.. lmao but it was well worth it and I think it's my best video to date. I agree bro, it's all about the individual! And that's what I love about this. I never wanna tell anyone how to play; only suggestions :) Thanks for the love bro! 🙏
If you play Ronin and use the Spirit Kunai, you should roll with Damage Increase, Super Massive and Cooldown on Kill. Pair it with a Stealth Charm that includes another Damage Increase stat, and of course the Ronin's Enhanced Ghost Weapons class technique, you potentially have up to 50% + 20% + 20% (90%!) damage on your SK. And this 90% applies to your bomb packs and Way of the Flame as well. If you time it right, you can throw out Kunais like unlimited ammos, and you can massively cooldown your 120 seconds munitions smoke bombs to half that time.
Yep that’s a good list. I’d go sacred iron over last breath. But other than that it’s solid. Hard to not put the skipping stone first, but the spirit kunai is so good. Can be used with any class while keeping all its strengths. Skipping stone while still great with other classes, just looses some of its power after you give up the last perk
Yea bro, I have heard some great things about Sacred Iron! I might have to check it out soon. Yea, it was SOOOO difficult not putting my beautiful SSB in the first position! lol
Heaven's Sting graciously blessed my friend & me with super quick kills for this week's nightmare story. The grind for me to get it back was definitely worth it.
I never rated the heavens sting cause it's just a regular blowgun against oni but hearing the list of everything it can actually kill in one hit puts it's usefulness into perspective.
Great summary, as always bro. Except for the fact that Lady Sanjo's Suprise is obviously No. 1... Can't wait to see more of these types of vids... CM had some great ideas.
@@EhpicPlays I used to never understand why everyone loved Spirit Kunai so much. But I came back to it and now I get it, for all of the reasons you explained. Another thing is that even if you don't get a kill, SK will stun enemies just slightly, just enough to pop Way of the Flame and go ham...
@@EhpicPlays Most satisfying play on this week's map. Jumped from Cliff to Beach, threw SK got two kills - which gives me my SK back again - as well as assasinate from above. Timing is tight but its possible.
@@EhpicPlays Mist of Yagata is my biggest letdown. I was so stoked when I got it because smoke is a core part of my playstyle, but the healing is kind sad. If they could buff the healing and had a deep bags munitions perk, it would be OP...
They should give Samurai upgrade like adding Fortune(Effects with a % chance to occur are 50% more likely to occur.) on their perks. This would make Masamune's Edge very suited for Samurai
The setup i have on my assassin rn isn’t necessarily good but im essentially a healer/dps. My sword is a water stance with burning and poison (which ends up triggering like every 2-3 hits) with the technique that makes poison do damage and im using the healing vanish together with the chain vanish on my charm which means i can heal teammates twice and then i have the healing smoke. I also have a total of 70% stealth attack damage which means that with a bit of damage i can assassinate most enemies. I also have around 20% status effect duration
It’s not necessarily the best setup as im sacrificing a lot of potential damage but it really helps when we don’t have a ronin and we need heals as i can safely ress my team and then heal them
Thank you my brother! That is mainly what I was shooting for. I know there is a wave of newer players and I am hoping this helps 😊 I agree, Spirit Kunai is the absolute best 🙏
This is a great list Though I would say master katana combined with samurai charm is almost the best thing you can have for samurai It's unbelievably good combo it makes you amazing in every situation Other than that, great list
I will have to check that out bro! I have never used Sacred Iron. Sounds awesome though! I think if I did use it, I would certainly have put it on here. Thank you 🙏
@@EhpicPlays Sacred Iron is pretty dope. So is Shogun's Fortitude. I never use them now not because they're not awesome, just because there are other legendaries more important to have. I basically only ever use your top 4 - nothing else - at this point.
@@EhpicPlays anytime ma man.. I've been using the builds you use/recommend. Didn't fail me one bit. Hopefully we'll run into each other in some random game.
Thanks for the shoutout bro that was unexpected 😁😂😅 I really loved the video, I liked being able to lay back and hear your opinions on your favorite items 👊🏼 you know the REAL downside to using Assassin Unlock on the Forbidden Medicine tho???? 👀 it’s not the fact that you won’t be able to use Black Powder Bomb 🙅🏻♂️ no no no, bump that lol it’s the fact that you can’t use FLASH BOMBS!!! 😂🥺😭😜
I've been running a stone striker stagger and melee dmg with rising tempo on my Samaria. It's pretty good. Good dmg. I can melt elder oni if I just break there guard and strike them. And with rising tempo if I can not get hit my dmg just goes up until I get hit. It gets to the point I can one shot the little guys with a perfect dodge or parry lol. Also my top five are probz 1: Stone striker 2: Forbidden medicine 3: spirit kunai (op af on a ghost weapon dmg Ronin) 4: wrath of sarugami 5: masters katana (cuz it be fun) And yeah I know the skipping stone bow is the best but meh. I'm not much of an archer.
Well, I have a long way to go to get any of these. I only just started playing this game a few weeks ago (beat the story 100 percent and Iki island already). Only level 20 with a hunter (my favorite class, due to the bow).
I have so many spirit Kunai and never used them in favour of other legendaries. I've never got why people obsess and worship smoke bombs so much though. Sure they're useful but the long cool down is just so not worth it. I'd rather use less powerful weapons that cool down 3 or 4 times quicker.
You aren't wrong! The cooldown on the smoke bomb is absolutely ridiculous! lol but with the Spirit Kunai & Cooldown Reduction on Kill, it should be up almost every wave as long as you are getting kills. It forces you to be aggressive and I love it. haha You should really try out the Spirit Kunai, I think you'd like it! Thank you for watching by the way, much love 🙏
@@EhpicPlays I main the Hunter though. I have the 25% Status effect Damage, and Fire master which means over 50% extra Fire damage altogether. I can buy the Ignite all enemies gift and it will melt nearly every enemy on the map. Plus +97% extra Explosive arrow radius will melt entire spawns 🔥🔥🔥
@@Maddie_Madds hell yea! Your build sounds awesome 😍 I’m a Hunter main too! Will always have love for hunters and all the awesome ways to build her. Keep killing it 🔥
@@mateogd1989 I agree, Smoke is SO useful. I run it on everyone except Samurai. Place to hide and strategize when things get hairy. Can attack in and out of the Smoke. Bunches up enemies to make bombs more effective. Relps you avoid Hwatchas when reviving in dicey spots or getting gifts. And most importantly, you get ammo drops. Had a team the other day, each one ran smoke bomb with munitions. Basically never had to go refill.
Only started playing this game mode last week and really enjoying it! All the builds I've seen are from 4 months ago. Has there been any shift in builds or the meta since then or are those builds still good! Really enjoying Samurai btw even of he's not meta lol
I’m glad you’re enjoying it brother!! That’s awesome! I have a list of my build videos in the description of this video, if you wanted some newer ones to check out. Samurai is really fun! I don’t blame you 😍
@@EhpicPlays has some great build videos and you can see how they've evolved over time. Check the comments too because players will add their personalized mods based on playstyle...
@@EhpicPlays funnily enough im a hunter main. I honestly just love the selection of katanas in this game, especially the stone striker. I currently have a ronin build with fire damage and that katana, inspired by the ronin build by a Japanese player called Pippopuppo345pro (i think?). Thanks man, awesome video!
How does one find the value for the classes different stats as start values? (Because I presume for exemple a Samurai have more melee dmg as base value that's higher than the hunter?)
Good morning. How about going over suggested teams and attack strategies for NM survival? I see you playing with alot of randos so I'm curious as to how you would command a squad.
Ohhhhh, very interesting Idea bro! I'm curious how I would be able to accomplish this... maybe like a break down of the battle field in photo mode or something? What do you suggest?
@@EhpicPlays nothing really crazy needed. Visuals are always a plus of course. From YOUR point of view what would your best group be to tackle NM survival? Personally, I like 2 Hunters, 1 fire Ronin and 1 Healing Ronin. Strategy would be: For the first round of each wave all 4 go and try to finish the enemies off asap. Afterwards, 2 groups of 2 break off and attack the 2 other points.
I feel you brother! I will link my Inferno Hunter build that ABSOLUTELY SHREDS. Feel free to check it out brother! Hope it helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DN9nFlOU5i4.html
The Masters Katana is definitely a strong item! Don’t get me wrong. I just personally never liked it because it is just too much to deal with for me while in Nightmare Survival. This list is just MY personal preferences ☺️
I also think the Stone Striker deserves a mention. It's inseparable from my Samurai and Ronin now. I know a lot of people don't like the Stone Katana because of the slow attacks. But pair it with Stone Master perk, and this sword is a killing machine. The Heavenly Strike is an *unblockable* move, even against the largest of Oni enemies. It stops their attacks, stuns and staggers them, it inflicts massive amount of damage against staggered enemies, and it terrifies nearby enemies when you kill one with the move. Pair the Stone Striker with WOTF on a Ronin, and use it with Heavenly Strike. Because the WOTF counts as a Ghost Weapons, you just need two HS+WOTF to kill the toughest Oni enemies.
Yea man, I’ve tried the Stone Striker and I just couldn’t get used to is. I didn’t really like it, aside from the obvious heavenly strike, combat with it was just terrible for me. That’s why I mentioned that this list was from my point of view because I know everyone’s is different :)
I have definitely tried that before ☺️ Thing I’ve found is that ranged damage applies to headshots as well. Considering you can get 12% Ranged Damage, and only 10% headshot damage, statistically, Ranged Damage is better ☺️
Dude there’s millions of other channels you can go visit. If you have a problem you can stop coming to my channel. Also, it’s “your” not “you’re”... thanks 😂
@@EhpicPlays lol thanks. Drag auto text sucks. Take constructive criticism like an adult. That's how I was addressing you. Children tend to see the mundane mistakes and completely miss the whole point of the message like you just did. Sorry bud. I still think you have potential.
@@redicanprime1181 then simply say so. Underlying tones are easy to misinterpret through text. Especially considering your original comment seemed rude. Trust me, I’m all about constructive criticism; I invite it and ask for it often. But your comment was nothing like it. No context at all.. stating something without giving a way to solve whatever issue you may have with it.. because THAT is “constructive criticism”. Maybe you can see why I responded the way I did. Or hey, maybe not. Children tend to say things and expect others to respond in kind, then make excuses when they get a different response.
@@EhpicPlays Right on. I usually comment when I like a channel, giving either positive or negative feedback because I actually like the passion a u tube has. I can tell you love your work. Tsushima is awesome and your video came around. Keep at it.
