Nioh 2 Any% Glitchless Speedrun in

[@probsamari]

may i ask, the technique you use when spamming feathers to spam burst counter also, what exactly does this do? is it to cut the animation time so you can use feathers again? or for damage? sorry for all the questions just very curious as i tried using the same technique and for me i dont get enough dps with the feathers inbetween the bosses going into the dark realm.

[@ShayTD]

So you spam the burst counter to cast the feathers faster. However you have to use the feathers when the enemy is out of ki so you get a x5 damage. Ideally you also apply confusion so you deal more damage and the enemy doesn't go into the dark realm
