Nioh 2 仁王 2 | 5 Tips to Start Doing Stylish Combos 

No problem, man! #DwellerGang

Nice :D

Lmao dweller op pls nerf

Thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment.

@@PooferLlama Number 5 should be a lesson to EVERY PLAYER AND EVERY GAME. I see that people take gaming waaay too seriously and use what everybodey else uses to make the game even less fun. Games are at fault with this like Call of Duty for example were they force their style of gameplay mechanics and classes which makes the game just unfun. And its a heavy meta franchise too. Nioh and Nioh 2 never felt like you needed a meta or just felt like you're playing the same damn game.

I agree with you 100%. People should have fun with their games!

Thanks man! I certainly hope this video can assist players in embracing Nioh 2 in a more dynamic way!

Glad to hear it! It's amazing how much extra replay value you can get with this approach!

@@PooferLlama Totally. I will never understand people who build around one weapon only too. SO boring.

@@alexgalays910 well if it was for me i would love play with all the weapons but i spent almost 1 month for doing my perfect Izanagi/imperial ward and still missimg a perfect yasakani, you have to play more to create the build instead of playing the game but that's fine, it's my fault because i always looking for min/max..

Glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm totally gonna do that dumb Mezuki/Gozuki title just for you LOL

@@PooferLlama Am honored LMAO :'D

I agree. Nioh can be played however you want. I made this video to illustrate another way it can be enjoyed.

same thing I was thinking when I was playing last night. this game is not a "souls like" game and it's very misleading. Yeah, there are some concepts from those games but this is its own unique game with one of the most complex and polished combat systems I've ever played.

Thanks! That was actually kinda the objective. This game has so much combo potential that has been largely unexplored by most players.

Glad you enjoyed this :) Please feel free to share this with any community you see fit.

@@PooferLlama Will do thinks

No problem!

Glad you like it!

Thank you very much for the compliment. I will continue to make videos like these! I do have a bunch of other similar guides on my channel if you're interested.

I experienced that with Flowing Shadow spam back in Nioh 1. Once I saw fearduude demonstrate the gameplay that I partake in now, I could just never go back. It's added so much replay value and made me fall in love with Nioh all over again!

I know this is a year old but how did the ability to turn into a big ugly demon negate a damn "Power Fantasy" in a game literally about fighting demons? 😂😂

@@jihigh482 I dont think you understand the expression ‘power fantasy’

Lol

Hopefully, we can help show players a new way to enjoy this game! It's brought me so much replay value and it's been a blast the whole time :)

That can help but it's not required. I'll go over some more specifics in a future installment.

Same here. The enemies I find most enjoyable are the ones I find most challenging.

That says a lot for Nioh as a game, and team ninja as a developer. They were able to give both min/maxers and combo fiends a great experience.

@@YeOldeMachine Wholeheartedly agree. It's downright impressive they were able to satisfy both groups of players.

It's crazy what you can do with each weapon. I find Axe/Hatchets an interesting pair to use from time to time.

@@PooferLlama whats your status and buff/defuse setup

69 all stats, not a joke. I typically don't use any buffs from jutsu. If I feel the need, then I may sometimes use Extraction/Rejuvenation as life recovery support.

@@PooferLlama what about carnage power pills or purity talismans or even quick change scrolls

I have no interest in any of those. My damage is at a sweet spot so I can go all out against enemies. Otherwise, they die way too quickly for my taste. Not a fan of using talismans in general. I have jutsu but I hardly use them. I used quick change scrolls back in Nioh 1 when it felt somewhat necessary. In Nioh 2, I already have significant survival capabilities courtesy of my gear. If I were to use QC scrolls again, then I wouldn't be as engaged with my combat as I could afford to mess up more. Just a personal preference.

Switchglaive is certainly a fun one. Maybe you could try adding in another weapon to see if you can branch out? It'll take some time but SG is a harder weapon to combo with so I think you could do it without too much trouble. If you're looking for co-op that isn't just "kill everything in 2 seconds", then check out the Nioh Community Discord that's in the description!

Many of sword's cool moves are hidden skills from bosses. You can absolutely make a Ryu Hayabusa like character. I think you'll be happy once you reach DLC 2 :)

@@PooferLlama Yeah, I cant wait to get into dlc 2! :) I really hope there are some fast paced skills like the ones you've shown on your video!

@@PooferLlama Oh I can't wait for it! Can you tell me when the game starts opening up with all those cool and flashy moves I can learn? I'm right now after the fight with that forest-weasel-thingy in chapter 2.

Unfortunately, many of the cool abilities are hidden skills from bosses. At your point in the game, here are the following skills you could have received. Imagawa Yoshimoto: Punish the Proud (Dual Swords) & Windswept (Switchglaive) Main Mission 3 Boss: Dragon Fang (Sword), Dragon Claw (Dual Swords), Dragon Horn (Odachi) Side Mission involving choosing a side: Deadly Spiral (Hatchets), Second Wind (Kusarigama), Water Drop (Kusarigama) I can't remember if there are any more. I tried not to spoil anything for ya. There are pleeeenty of hidden skills to farm...which can be a bit painful.

@@PooferLlama Well, mission 3 it will be to farm first :D Sadly I got the dual sword-skill first time. Anyway! I'm really looking forward all those cool techniques. Thanks for your help! :)

I mostly focus on the enemy in front of me. I will occasionally glance at my Stances and Ki/Anima levels.

You can make anything work, even axe. I tend to pair sword, duals, spear, odachi, tonfa, switchglaive, splitstaff. but it's up to you.

I only mentioned people I've worked with.

Doesnt Xeno mainly make one shot builds though?

@@OtaniNoAsagi No he actually makes practical builds that involve actual fighting. PWAR is the guy who finds every possible exploit the game could have and forces Team Ninja to patch the game 2 weeks later. Usually with nerfs.

Yeah, long uninterrupted attack chains that look more stylish that anything. Shutting down an enemy is a byproduct of this but isn't necessarily the goal.

It's usually a combination of proper ki management, reduced ki consumption, and yokai ability use.

Check the Skill Customization tab. You should be able to assign it for the Sword.

Patch 1.22 remedied this bug.

Life Drain (Active Skill) helps a ton. It's a starred stat on weapons and helps me out a ton! Life Recovery on Amrita Absorption is really handy and can be tempered on your Chest piece and certain accessories.

@@PooferLlama Been now trying life recovery and swapped to the clan with that as well lol though I never tried the star roll on weapon!

@@XonixDerps yeah I’d say if you want to maintain your health then you could use medium armor for more defense and use extraction talisman with life gained on Amrita absorption.

:(

I think its good to not have a pvp mode. Might be the same as nioh 1 were it was just unbalanced.

@@darkwraith9064 no they need to add a pvp mode because all this grinding is just pointless when you Reach Dream of the nioh there is no real challenge even in the underworld...its just boring i didn't even bother finshing the underworld floors same enemys again and again and again...There is no challenge and grinding is useless no real foe to try your build on it so why grinding? I want a real player to test my build on him+i feel my 3000 hour playing is lost in vain there is no players to test my skills agenst them im Depressed now:(

@@gigachad622 I can understand your frustration, but try to think about this objectively and try to detatch your feelings from the topic here. If they added PVP to Nioh 2, they would have to pretty much downgrade everything and standardize EVERYTHING just for a hope of making it enjoyable and fair. If they just let everyone go ham with every GS ability and every Yokai ability, you would barely see what is going on the screen. EVERYONE would have elemental familiars. EVERYONE would have either Otakemaru or Nightmare bringer with them. EVERYONE would have sloth on Omyo hit in their builds. Because how could you afford not to? Not having such powerful things with you just makes you dead meat for someone who does. If they decided to bring it in with pre-made builds that were reasoably balanced, it could possibly work. But as far as testing the limits of your 3000 plus hours of under world builds and beyond on a human player is concerned, I dont see it happening. Frankly I hope it doesnt either.

@@TheDocbach bro they can just add a skill mode like the first game it was pretty much balanced and fair and i could say the same for the strength mode i played the first nioh pvp for around 1 year and certainly there will not be any proplem with the pvp in nioh 2 if thay only balanced the soul cores or they just could make the players Create there own laws before starting the match

Doubt the "have to" part. Especially since he does underworld. You just think you have to be optimized but you really don't.

You THINK that he has to optimize. In reality, this group of Nioh cultist never cares about optimization. Xelod93, who also streams, only runs with level 1 weapons in DotN. Now, do you think optimization is needed ? Btw, his Twitch is up there. You can always come and have a look LOL .

@@Azura2910arpg yea iam on the stream all the time I see that but xelod and poofer does not clear depth of the underworld with stone active +9 wich is alright iam just saying to do that u have to be optimize poofer havent even done wotn yet whitegoat does it and is build is solid but still full of skill gameplay

@@shaolinkza7485 he means that you just don’t have to use the skills that are always powerful or go for too much optimization. Poofer himself does optimize but not with damage, and he likes that playstyle. He says that it’s a good idea for everyone to go for a playstyle that suits them, and this video isn’t necessarily about just skill, it’s about making fun and flashy combos because many people find that the best part of the game.

@@Aiden-Ed i understand that if u want to play on wotn or maybe underworld but to do floor 20 to 30 in depth of the underworld woth stone +9 u have to be optimize af i what iam saying

Gaming communities tend to be rife with that unfortunately :/ Doing what I can to just have everyone enjoy this game however they'd like.

It's from my Combo Mad XI ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s5x9IWBRFuo.html

@@PooferLlama thank you!
