Nioh 2: Adept Lessons - 67 - Dual Swords Guide I

[@quality8133]

BTW you can turn off god of the wind 2 in the skill manu. It helps me get the timing down a lot.

[@Yanxi]

Woah! Thank you for this amazing tip, Quality.

[@Ch35h1r3C47]

Isn't the timing exactly the same though? You only have to time the blow right after the kick iirc.

[@quality8133]

@@Ch35h1r3C47 Yes, but u can basically mesh the bottoms

@@Yanxido you still play nioh 2? I kinda wish they didn’t make wo long and just updated nioh 2 on its rng and gave it another dlc but is what is😔

[@gtavtheavengergunnerlegend3340]

had no idea you could spam the F out of sign of the cross like that. it's tricky to learn but worth the practice. it's basically R1, cirlce,R1, circle as fast as possible

[@NukeHP]

With regards to Mind's Eye II, dodging in the direction of the attack is generally how I do it for non-AoE stuff. Like on the Yoki's horizontal swings, which go from your left to right, I'll dodge early and to my right so that I'm still in the hitbox for its swing at the end of my dodge. Just have to be careful of the recovery when using it against enemies with quick followups (like Mezuki). For anyone that just needs to feel the timing out, Ubume may be the easiest enemy to proc ME2 against. Just low stance dodge into her scream for a free attack boost.

[@souheilallegue2342]

For god of wind, just focus on the kick sound and not the animation, press triangle right after you hear the sound. I went from missing it most of the time to almost never missing it when i noticed this.

[@evafox9696]

Thank you so much for this my dude. I absolutely love Spinning Dragon. I put Raging Slice (20% bonus damage) on it and when an enemy is confused and out of ki it just melts them. It's a bit rough to use on 'thin' enemies like humans (and some bosses like Azai Nagamasa), but man on things like Shibata Katsuie and Enera it's just brutal.

[@samerfakhri9210]

Thx for ur guide. Cannot wait for switchglave tutorial 👍🏻

[@quality8133]

DS is the weapon I picked up and learn the game with. Simple game plan allows me to focus on mastering the basic of the game. That said, it's just bizzar to me that they make 6 different parries that can only work against human enemies with mediocre reward. Then proceed to shove all high stance skills into block heavy and light into heavy.w While the weapon lacks any block light and heavy into light comobo in high stance.

[@tomcampbell8934]

Water sword and wind sword being trapped on the same button mapping is a crime. Kusa can use reaper in all stances why the can this weapon not

[@TCSyd]

Something that helped me incorporate instant SotC more comfortably is using an alternate input method. Instead of holding the charge briefly, I double tap sheath with a brief pause in between the two inputs. This works with Iai Quickdraw and Thin Air as well, but doesn't work nearly as well with the other sheathed skills.

[@stephenmclemore7614]

With 2 weapons that use a charge attack like duel blades and sword you can hold down R1 and O and just press down on the D pad to change weapons and auto charge attack. Chain as many as your ki will let you.

[@PETROSBULLET]

that backdodge strong strong was making me loose my mind on how to do , thank you !!!

[@bigzay1424]

These guides are the only reason I can play this game. Thank u so much mane

[@GodofWisdom123]

Well damn, thank you. Didnt know the god of wind was so important. New to game. I was stuck on snake boss, then best her first try by just using the skill more. Thank more

[@qurramzaheer9936]

god damn I'm going to be using dual sword as second weapon after this. this shit is just way too cool

[@four321zero]

07:00 are the strong attacks supposed to do more ki damage than God of wind? It looks o like that here

[@Lustithonuz]

Bro I saw you hit them what is blue dual sword ? Is that Tachi Arts III ?

[@oukt237]

Very good!

[@uchihamosara1377]

How did you get those buffs after each hit

[@kiemugen9830]

hey dude do you have gameplay videos of you beating 26-30 depths floors using katana? maybe even with penance +9? I really want to know how to beat bosses with sword as fast as with switchglaive or odachi with which I can just spam one skill and get good dps

[@edg1191]

Where is this training area?

[@stolensentience]

I still don’t understand mind’s eye. What it does, how to use it, or why.

[@PooferLlama]

If you dodge too early in low stance with Dual Swords, then you get "saved". On top of that, you get a 80% attack damage boost. It's extremely powerful.

[@L10N.]

Why do you say dual swords have limited moveset?

[@PooferLlama]

They just don't have as many active skills that can be used at once compared to weapons like Sword or Fists.

[@darksilence8468]

How does minds eyes work ?

[@PooferLlama]

Basically, you dodge just a little earlier than normal and you can get 80% extra damage.

[@darksilence8468]

Bro you sound like my old math teacher

[@benjaminchen8857]

Why do you ask why they’re not blocking if they have no ki to block with? Just wait a hot second, damn

[@PooferLlama]

I'm bloody impatient lol and most human bosses would attempt to block my pressure

[@rickydiscord7671]

what I always didn't like about dual blades. also on the 1st game. is how low the damage is. sure your more save dodging and blocking with them. but what's the point on that the fact it takes you so long to beat enemies? if we are just getting started with no video guides. it well mess your day up. yeah I get they trying to make it realistic because you only using one hand each and also using speed. but come on. if the blades were a bit smaller it would make more sense.

[@pennygeno5629]

all you need is water sword... i dont even see that skill in this video being used so im not going to take this serious.

[@PooferLlama]

These are meant for advanced combo based play and thus focus on understanding how to use a weapon's full toolkit. Water Sword is fairly easy to understand as I mentioned after 7:43

[@unrealsimon93]

hahahaha what a dumb comment. Please show us a video of you playing the depth of the underworld using only water sword and let's see how well you fare.
