[@trinity3422]

I gotta take a sec and just say that it’s insane how many builds Cowboy has started and built up in this game. I know he can just use a book of reincarnation to reallocate his stats but still so much time invested into making these builds. Thanks for putting this much energy into these games

[@fallenangel42069]

Why not use the bird for the secondary? It gives a total of 15% additional lightning damage when paired with the stag.

Guys a tip for farming Divine Accessories. The mission with the boss Enenra, in the first map in NG+ has a guaranteed drop for Divine Accessories (from my testing) in the ledge above the final resting shrine (just before the boss). I haven't confirmed a Yasakani drop, but it's worth trying [Edit: I have also had a 1 purple drop in 15 runs, so it's not guaranteed Divine]

[@yologuy3440]

Breath of weeb: 69 form, cheek claps

[@dintelignt]

Now that I've gotten into ng+, I started watching videos like this. This is basically the lightning version of my poison build.

[@dintelignt]

Turns out there's a few enemies that are strong against poison though... which is why I've got lightning as a secondary thing.

[@dintelignt]

But yeah... stoopid squishy

[@BlackedRaaw]

Fighting the final boss doesn't give you a Yasakani on every kill, the best way I found to farm them is to fight the little one eyed imps, the almost always drop a accessory, there's two of them on the mission The Missing gun in the Dream region I believe, you just spawn in, run in the left direction till you get to the abandoned house, and there'll be two little one eyed imps on the left and right, kill them then go back to shrine, it's a easy farm, I always get Yasakanis doing it that way,

[@Wasara88]

The Missing gun mission is in the Dawn region

[@tilghman123]

Sweet bro, that lightning sword brings back memories of Onimusha for me

Hey, we talked about it in your last video and I decided to further ask about it on reddit and apparently there is a "+% Iai Quickdraw" skill in the game and people are saying it's on arm guards. Some of the replies I got on reddit: "Yeah, I've seen it (but I was using Night Rain so I didn't select it when Tempering). It's a little difficult to track them down because you seriously have access to a buuuuunch of attack skills when Tempering arm guards, but it's a good chunk of damage to tack onto any specific skill-focused build." "Lol i wasted 150 umbracite to roll % sign of the cross damage but all i see is Iai Quickdraw. Now we both know our skills are on arms."

[@krull1600]

Last time I played a niho game my ps4 sound like a jet enegin

[@thesillymoose193]

The first one didn’t really ramp my ps4 up but Nioh 2 lol ps4 sounds like it’s ready to leave the runway !

[@TheRealCake]

The Silly Moose I suggest rebuilding your database, it really helps! My PS4 would sound like a jet engine when playing a few games, but since I finally rebuilt my database it’s doesn’t sound like a jet anymore. There’s plenty of videos showing how, it’s easy

[@TheRealCake]

James webb funny, since database fixed mine

[@corey_massey]

@@Tyrynth Its definitely not the thermal paste.....the jet engine sound is your fan ramping up to read the information coming from your hard drive into memory and then to your GPU. By repairing your database which has fragmented information from saves and deletes over time, you reduce the amount of work your system needs to do to get that information. Additionally and equally as important is to make sure you clean the vents and clean the fan as these will attract dust and thus make your fan work harder to cool the system.

[@MaceoDior]

I been watching all your videos bro I’m dead serious I just bought nioh1 with the season pass cause of you, I can’t afford the second one right now but I will get it , by the way I love the gameplay

Dang you made me realize I could totally role play Demon slayer on this game lol

[@anubrakahn2970]

If you're into that, this is the game for you. There are so many different ways to play it. Also, changing your appearance and changing the appearance of specific gear pieces can be done anytime. You can really put whatever storyline you want behind your chatacter.

[@johjoh9270]

Behold, the Lighting of Tomoe, also known as the mighty power of Itchy Nose

[@Neonmirrorblack]

Damage Bonus Familiarity only affects the weapon that it's on, and this is how it worked in the previous game. Damage Bonus Agility in the previous game worked on your melee weapons if your currently equipped ranged weapon had it, but for whatever reason my damage isn't changing at all, while some are claiming it's raising their Kunai damage in the hundreds... Also, Haze should be doing way more damage when you have the "more damage from behind" passives, along with Sword of Execution. It did in the previous game as well.

[@Jay-pb1jo]

Ty man! I'll be using this as a template for my build love you content as always cheers

[@theryanjester7209]

For NG+ this is very well done. I look forward to more sets in DLC that'll help make sword builds OP

[@Lucario6804]

0:09 Good day to you too, fellow weeb!

[@MattyIce213]

I'm doing this exact same build for my first playthrough of Nioh 2 (currently on region 6, almost done with the main story). The whole idea when I started was I wanted to do a build themed around Zenitsu from Demon Slayer, so seeing the Thunderclap and Flash opener was great. Guess Cowboy had the same idea.

[@TonTHunT]

What chest piece is that?

[@robertprouty5255]

Love the builds. Keep it up mayne

[@Themastermik97]

Amazing build, and good video with very in-depth explanation. Can't wait to see an onmyo build

[@AstonMartinStig]

Can't help it. I am a Katana bro. Will likely try this build then the master swordman next after I progress more.

[@CptEddyPrice]

Katana was top tier in Nioh 1... was good against yokai and human enemies... had very good skill damage and final blow. I suspect Nioh 2 with all the yokai parries and forms dragged katana from top tier to somewhere in the middle

How do you craft divine gear. I can't find the divine sets you use just purple.

[@mdeeess3863]

You probably know this by now but just before you forge a weapon press triangle when "forge" is highlighted, it will let you use up to 10 divine fragments if I remember correctly, for more of a chance of getting divine weapons etc.

[@dvdkiwi]

This build looks really interesting but I don't want to get rid of my beloved Switch Glaive. I'm currently equipped with a devine Sohaya set (+6) and inflict +49% lightning damage via various perks, it does the job very well in ng+. An option could be to just equip the Warrior of the West set for some extra lightning dmg and extra dmg vs electrified enemies.

To give you a fairly quick answer, look for armor/weapon pieces what have the same "grace". That's the elementary explanation.
