Am I just unlucky?

I've been rerolling a Yasakani for hours now on +2 Penance and I can't seem to get a roll with Marici. I've gotten Alcala numerous times as well as Ame. Am I just horribly unlucky or is there a prerequisite I'm not meeting? On Dotw by the way.

How can I make a build in Nioh 1?

Hey guys, so right now I’m level 79 and I’m on the mission where you defeat the giant road and all the ninjas. So far I’ve put skill points equally into every category, but that’s not a real build and I’m not really sure how to make a real build, all the YouTube videos I see on nioh builds are all level 200 or something. I mainly use a sword and spear, as well as onmyo magic. I wanted to ask if anyone can suggest a YouTube video or ask for advice. I don’t want to waste my one book of reincarnation. Thanks! ⛩️

As much as I don't want to admit it, META's exist for a reason

Wish I could just put the picture of the build in a video but I didn't wanna make it too long.

Melee weapons: Genno’s Hammer, Shugendo Hermits

Ranged: N/A because I just use it for the set bonus

Set/Grace: 6-piece Oyamatsumi, 2-piece Tsukuyomi, 5-piece Onmyo Autserity+

Accessories: Magatama and Yasakani Magatama

Scroll Priority: Ult. Constitution, Ult Courage, Path of the Demon/Ravenous

Jutsu/items: Quick-Change Scroll, Archyokai Talisman, Purification Talisman, Extraction Talisman, All elemental Familiars.

Objectives: Minimize time for buffs and debuff by offloading most effects to passives. -Helmet gives increased attack on winded enemy -Chestpiece give increased defense on ki depleted -Magatama gives Sloth on Onymo Magic hit -Yasakani Magatam gives Faster Ki Recovery on Amrita Absorbed -Uesugi Clan effect gives Protection

Maximize Damage Reduction: -Inherited Reduced Elemental Damage Taken Guarded to at least 100% -Hairy Catepillar Helmet, Onryoki soul core, Inosasao spirit reduce Damage Taken Mid-Attack up to 34% -Oyamatsumi grace reduces Damage Taken by Half when at full health 100% of the time

Maximize Anima Bonus: To my knowledge anima bonuses do NOT stack so my focus was on variety. HO SPIRIT -Anima Bonus(Confused) and Anima Bonu(Onymo Magic Hit) Ryomen Sukuna SC -Anima Bonus(Damage-Taken) Onryoki SC -Anima Bonus(Amrita Absorption) Gozuki SC INOSASAO SPIRIT -Anima Bonus(Electrified) Kiryoki SC -Anima Bonus(Amrita Absorption) Nightmare Bringer SC -Anima Bonus(Water Attack) Yasha SC In my opinion, prioritize Amrita Absorption and Confused. The water attack on from Yasha is only there cuz that was the only average one there that could fit.

Maximize Ki destruction Purity has this nice effect were it gives a hose to Ki damage and prevents status enhancements (Not curses) on enemies. I chose Ho because I like using Brute and gives +15 imbue purity on strong attack which is great cuz I like axe. I wanted to use both my spirits so I had a Ki destruction method for each.

On the primary(Ho) I used Gozuki. I was using the Ippon-Datara SC before because the cost of use was lower but the anima generation is high enough were that isn't a big enough benefit. Gozuki has a larger hit box that makes it harder to miss. It also moves forward which prevents enemies from avoiding hits by stepping back.

On the secondary(Inosasao) I used Nightmare Bringer because it is a massive AOE that produces a lot of amrita while destroying ki. That Amrita produces anima bonuses that makes the next cast cheaper

MAXIMIZE BULK & SELF HEAL -Maxed out Constitution -Oyamatsumi Grace for +500 Life and +30% Life -Added “+Life” star effects on armor -Defense: approximately 12,000 -Life: approximately 10,000 -Life Recovery(Amrita Absorption) on Chest piece and Accerories -Ultimate Constitution giving passive healing is HP is above 70%

MAXIMIZE ONYMO MAGIC HITS: -Onymo Austerity offers Deinvigorate on Onmyo magic hit. It also gives the Empowered Onmyo Magic buff which regenerates Onmyo Justu based on the damage dealt while it is active. -Grace of Tsukuyomi offers Weakness on Onmyo magic hit -Magatama offers Sloth on Onmyo magic hits

Is Nioh remastered Worth to buy?

I got PS plus extra so I could Install Nioh for free but I saw that Nioh remastered got a Discount. I'm thinking about buying it but I dont Know If the graphic is really that much better and for whatever reason there is Not a single comparison Video on YouTube. Are the graphics so much better, that its Worth buying instead of playing the original for free?

Tips for a new player who never played a soulslike before?

Hello! I started playing Nioh 2 today and I have died more than 20 times already and I haven't even passed the first mission yet. This is the first soulslike game I've played, I know they are difficult, but I keep getting my ass kicked. I ran pass the first boss and found the shrine near the village, but I keep dying and dying... Would love some tips. I was using Tonfas, but now I'm trying different weapons

Sorry if this is a dumb question

Are there other bosses like umi-bozu?

I'll probably get downvoted but it's an actual question. I had fun clearing the level but the end was so disappointing. 60% percent of my deaths were falling of the map, 30% from an one-shot attack and 10% misc. Do the other bosses follow the same pattern? I'm asking cause I don't wanna spend more time with this game if they do.

Fun Fact the first 5 summons (clearly more experienced people) also died instantly in the beginning.

Where can I report the players that killed me?

If I give a cup to get help of other player, and he will give a bomb with a large flame surface on the ground, and I die and lose all the amrita I grinded, what can I do to get that player permanently banned?

Need help Nioh 2 won't launch

I accidentally deleted the d3dx file which for some reason is necessary for the game to work and verifying or reinstalling the game will not bring the file back. Could someone make theirs downloadable or copy the text in the file for me?

Late game mechs: Silabar, cannon animation cancel.

I know it must have been obvious for many, but today I learned two things: Silabar ingot is useful, and you can cancel out of the cannon animation that makes you get up like a granny with back problems.

I was mentally struggling to create a new character to experience the early game again, but it occurred to me that level resetting in this game doesn’t force you to spend all your Amrita, instead, you can just put yourself to a desired build/level, and store the rest in the Silabar.

Granted, the loss of 1% may be more than one level, but won’t be 1% of your levels, since the experience required just goes bonkers later on. To me, this is such a relief.

The other thing is that I started to cancel the animation for the cannon, but I can’t quite point out the timing to input things. As you release the trigger, move and dodge, the animation cancels, making it useful in combat. But when I whiff it, I end up burning the second wind scroll.

I couldn’t find a video of Last to Load explaining, can anybody help me understand the timings?

.

EDIT: I feel stupid, the way to skip the getting up animation is to literally dodge without releasing the trigger, and release while you dodge, so you won’t kneel again.

It’s cheesy, but aiming for a horn/yellow part of a boss, without NPC help, is actually hard…

kinda confused as to why i get no money from missions. i was under the impression im supposed to be soul matching my equipment?

just beat umibozo and im level 38 doing level 45 missions, my sword is level 36 and to soul match it cost 140,000 when i get barely 10k from a mission. all my armor needs over 100k too. so not only am i levels behind in amrita, but i need over 500,000 gold in order to have equipment that’s the right level. i figured people just say to replay missions but i would have to replay 50 missions, that cant be right

Nioh 1 3rd DLC

Might be tougher than sekiro was first time. These DLCs do not dick around. Beat the first 2.. now I am just starting the 3rd and it's wild. The human enemies/elites are tough as hell. I'm glad they don't respawn though. They almost feel like mini bosses. I thought the 10 Scions were tough.. these guys in DLC 3 hit hard as fuck.

Looking for advice regarding nioh 2 combat

Helloge, whenever i read posts here i see a lot advice about playing aggressive and just continuously beating the enemy.

Problem is that my gameplay differs quite a lot from what i see in different videos.

My looks more like get 3 hits in before enemy starts swinging wildly and im forced to start dodging/blocking (if enemy still has ki ofc).

A lot of the times if i get my hits in and enemy doesnt do anything yet im just waiting around so i dont get caught in an animation with 0 stamina and lose my entire hp bar.

I feel like the game can be really fluid and fun when you know all 500 animation cancels, every enemy pattern and have 10k hours in the game but for me it doesnt feel any faster/slower than other games in the genre.

Some complains i have about the game outside of that:

-insanely tanky enemies (both bosses and regular ones)

-insanely long animations on items (without animation cancelling)

-low enemy variation

-some revenants just perma blocking without losing ki

Generally looking for advice on how to make my experience in nioh more enjoyable

Some info on me:

character lvl 73 gear level around 90 current mission level 88 https://imgur.com/a/AiVdFLp

did side quests in first 2 regions but now ive stopped

playstyle:

feral guardian

double swords

below 70% weight always

mostly in low stance when not attacking

switching to medium or high depending on how confident i am in not getting punished

trying to not use summons/cats unless im struggling

know about existence of:

-yokai abilities but cant take advantage of them at all

-dojo

-titles

-ki pulse

-animation cancelling items
