Nioh 2 Builds: Paralyzing Blade (Odachi)

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

This mechanic looks like it could be really useful, this game looks so fun honestly, I myself can’t wait to buy it.

[@randomperson-up5vt]

I absolutely love it. The annoying burst counter timing is odd but game is overall amazing.

[@Maikeru101]

Just Some Guy without a Mustache it’s amazing, but damn it’s hard with multiplayer

[@Maikeru101]

random person glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks that

[@randomperson-up5vt]

@@Maikeru101 I find only one of the forms to be really reliable for getting a proper counter timing. I think that's the problem since each one has different counter timings. They need to adjust the timing window on the other two.

[@thelunarblade02]

Same with me, but unfortunately I can't buy it

[@mojahangard]

Thank you so much for the guides. I just started Nioh 3 coming from Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne. Your videos have been immensely helpful and I just wanted to share that. Also, you got yourself a new subscriber. Thanks again!

[@windblownleaf6450]

Didn't know Nioh 3 was out already

[@mojahangard]

@@windblownleaf6450 it’s very exclusive. Only people with finesse get to play it.

[@abdallahabdallah3815]

This is awesome. Has a Genichiro role play element to it. I will definitely make a play through using this guide. Thank you for the great content!

[@yuumei5713]

Beautiful work! Finalize your build with itokuri, puts paralysis on yokai abilities and increases those such as the umbrella and nure-onna.

[@Bubbstar]

this build benefits from the swirling snow hidden skill and the shiftling active skill that gives you paralysis on hit

[@Dietah131]

Love your work!

[@bboy458]

One thing i was already using was Arcana of Vermin on Tigers Blade, a full TB hit will net you about half a para.

[@babayaga4320]

Staring this exact build/play through today. Should be fun. This will be my 5th play through already done a Kusa/Hatchets/Tonfa/Switchglaive run. Not sure what to expect here really. I tend to prefer lighter faster weapons but I've been wanting to do a para build and because of the weapon featured here I'm giving it a try.

the armor of the bomber dude in the demo gives 40% damage on paralized enemy, bit i can't find it anywere, is still in the game?

[@jedibill111]

I have something that might be helpful in toon building. This game makes you double check before you make any decision. So, before you decide, go into your 'learn skills' tab. Before you choose. See what you need. Be sure to choose wisely. Fill up your move set slots, look for what you need, for your chosen weapons. Leave no position unfilled, asap. Fill that 'unlearned' space. Any stance will do. Variety is the spice of life! You will thank me later. There is a lot to be said for block and counter, for example. Also, as soon as you can level, level. Shrine and reset and use that Amorita you have earned. Sacrifice some early levels into weight management. Early levels are cheap, Armor is heavy, You do the math. I am a B student, myself. Protect yourself stay loose and breath.

[@PowderedToastMan3]

I was struggling to figure out what to go for on odachis since there aren't a lot of armor sets that really make them work. However this build has been working just fine for me. Might go more into a str/stam build at NG+ but this has definitely done well for the first few chapters.

[@i-Jones]

Is there a updated version of this build? Which stats should I keep leveling after getting the same stats shown in the video?

[@CriPPleR_HD]

What is your favorite starting building you created so far?

[@OD91MJ]

I never tried Odachi in the first game so I wanted to give it a try this time around. Really struggled to get past the first region not going to lie. Once I started using paralysis I have been able to destroy Revenants and get better gear finally. Progress is flying nown thanks.

[@HalfinchLonomia]

I used the odachi for 100 hours in nioh 1 and i'm gonna use it for another 100 in nioh 2

[@chrishastings7583]

Im rocking odachi in both weapon slots. Makes for a fat struggle sometimes but im not giving up. Power through ng with odachi!

[@Cranky_Cucumber]

Paralyzing is crazy when you have the right buffs. I use Dual Hatchets and the Switchglaive mostly though. I have a total of 44.8% extra damage against enemies with paralysis with an Extended Elemental Weapon passive at 42.3%. The accumulation is only at 12.9% but with the Dual Hatchets the speed at which they attack builds up the paralysis decently quick.

[@thebigbient8736]

Havent seen you mention chaos at all. A video on that would be nice since its kind of powerful.

[@osutinheizu8250]

The Big Bient what is chaos?

[@King0Julius]

@@osutinheizu8250 applying two elemental status on an enemy will result in "confused" status or chaos. Applies a very generous buff to damage against them. Yokai stagger on every hit and slows human ki regeneration

I was just looking for a build lol.

[@pedrorom89]

you helped me yesterday, thanks!

[@wesleyvl8572]

Keep up your vidoes dude you rock

[@PencilsandPaper]

I've got a Poison + Tonfa build going at the start of the game and it is eating through stuff pretty good. I'd love to see you make a build like that.

[@caesarschannel5895]

Great build, I'm trying it in my run. Waiting to drop some accessories to increase paralyze accumulation

[@Ecco_The_Dolphin]

You can just temper accessories now and get accumulation AND melee damage increase. Disassembling weapons and armor also gives you umbracite and fragments to make more, then just spend to roll

[@caesarschannel5895]

@@Ecco_The_Dolphin thank you very much, it's just what i did today. I was afraid to waste my umbracites, but i got a lot of fragments (so i crafted some, i didnt know about this new feature of the game), i disassembled a lot of equip and maybe had some luck. Anyway now im quite ready to use this build properly. thanks for the answer

[@blobfish2624]

Awesome stuff. Thank you!

[@Bbslushieee]

i like this a lot...may try to add tonfas as my secondary weapon with it to get over some of the weaknesses of the odachi.

[@osutinheizu8250]

Brandon B I’m also trying to incorporate tonfas as a secondary weapon.

[@abdallahabdallah3815]

Honestly i’ve been steam rolling the odachi alone and it seems very fine. I drop to low stance if i need the mobility and speed

is there any chance you can cover soul cores in a video? I'm a veteran but i just can't wrap my head around the mechanic :) thank you for covering a lot of important topics

[@Fextralife]

We will probably do some mechanics video but gotta get the builds out of my system first! In the meantime you can find soul core info here: nioh2.wiki.fextralife.com/Soul+Cores

Spear build pls, keep it up man

[@breiner1313]

New sub Bro!! 😁👌🏻

[@Ragingspoon]

You can get +24% damage bonus to paralysed enemies on accessories as well and its not that uncommon. I have it on 2 of mine and was going to go with a build similar to this as I like the Odachi but went Ninja in the end with Kunai and am having a blast. Just have to not get hit cos im likely to die if I am.

[@MeldinX2]

Where does the crafting text for the Bloodspider Blade drop? I've done the first region along with all the sub missions but i still have not found it.

[@jayr5mitty351]

If not mistaken, I believe I picked mine up from the sub quest where there's that cat in the center of the stage. Hell idk, I just ran around killing all the revenants and before I knew it, I completed the stage and I had it.

[@AwesomeRhombus]

The crafting text itself drops from the Snake woman Yokai in the Third story area with the Snake boss! I couldn't find any information regarding its location and randomly found it like my third time on the way to the boss, good luck!

Basically, it resembles familiarity. When your weapon reaches its maximum familiarity, its special effects get boosted.

[@ivorymantis1026]

Needs Itokuri later in the game, tune accessories to "damage vs Paralyzed" oh *STUN ARROWS*

[@j.d.6915]

How far into the game will it take to get the complete build, roughly? It looks like a good build for me since I like the Odachi and I'm a scrub.

[@Fextralife]

All you really need is Bloodspider Blade and Nure-Onna Soul Core. From there it's just adding things you find that make it better and gaining enough Ninjutsu Skill points to get Medusa Powder.

[@Baytuh]

I can't find the smith text for that blade i only got it through random, drops.

[@RyuBerserker]

I can't find the smithing text for the bloodspider blade anywhere I've done all .missions in the first area :(

[@UndeadTurning]

The text comes from a submission late in the third or fourth area. Youre gonna have to find one from a drop and keep upgrading it when you get the one you want.

How do you get the malefactor set though?

[@benjaminvonwoyrsch-hensche4002]

@@StevefromPR there is a mission in area 4 that opens up If your Dual Swords proficiency is high enough. I think the Mission is called Master of the Three Evils

[@insanebluefin3234]

Isnt the 2nd hit of the grapple stronger? To me it looks like a skill would be better to use, since only the first hit counts as the enemy being paralyzed, you can clearly see in all the clips that the first hit is doing much more. Usually the 2nd hit of the grapple does more.

[@cenach8145]

It's on the level with that big snake bitch Yatsu no Kami as the boss. The boss dropped the text for me

[@ruancarloyt]

What's the best to combo with Odachi, Spear or Axe?

[@MeldinX2]

I use spear and i've found that to be pretty good. It also scales with strenght and i think also stamina? It has nice range and is alot quicker which is good in situations where you feel that the odatchi is too slow.

[@jayr5mitty351]

I've been pairing mine with axe. Odachi on human and axe on yokai. But I'm also a heavy build so I'm not all about the nimble aspect. I just tank the hits. Love the damage scaling of this one vs N1

[@ZeroHayabusa]

If if you can't decide between either of those 2 then katana could be an option as well. Katana works well because Odachi is super ki reliant

[@MegaEzKill]

Spear or axe build next?

[@kiranis2174]

Does this build effective against not human bosses?)

[@osutinheizu8250]

Is it really worth dumping so many points into strength? So far (still pretty low level) it seems like I get nearly as much benefit to my Odachi damage by increasing Heart, and that gives me other benefits.

[@arutemisemtrai9769]

I'm using an Odachi, don't go past 15, I went to 13 before I stopped leveling it. Swapped to Stamina, the damage loss is minimal and it offers a lot of play in your weight. At the point I'm in the game now I mostly gave up paralyzing as a lot of enemies aren't that vulnerable too it and am tilting over to tank with throwing stars and using magic a lot more, stamina regen is pretty good(And can be buffed) and I have blue toughness so a few bosses/enemies I can just barrel through. A lot of people seem to maintain a sort of "get good light rolls only" but sometimes just face tanking something and beating it to death with a small troop of cats is way more fun.

[@Hollow_StarXx]

We want spear build

[@nicholasgarrett742]

Don't know why but my yokai weapons dmg doesn't drop off. Been using them since I found them and always remain the top dmg weapons in my inventory.

[@abagofchipzlol3667]

Is odachi and dual swords good with each other??? They both scale with heart and strength so I feel like they’d be good with each other

[@Bubbstar]

mid-late game u get access to remodeling which lets you change the scaling of weapons, as long as your chosen weapons share one stat for scaling you can remodel the weapon to match your stats. so to answer ur question, use the weapons you want, most combos are viable in this game

[@abagofchipzlol3667]

Bubbstar thx bro! So I guess them sharing 2 stats without remodeling doesn’t even matter then? :/ damn I thought it would make my weapons better lol but i guess since remodeling is in the game it doesn’t matter I guess lol :/

[@alvinbituin1067]

can we play this on pc?

[@big_dave_7178]

Nice idea but there's a lot of paralysis immune stuff in this game and you're going to have to kill them the old fashioned way. Unfortunately a lot of them are also yokai who are resistant to corruption. I main Odachi and use master archer with lightning imbued odachi. This gives +20% bow damage, +15% lightning damage (which applies to lightning shot and elemental soulcore abilities like Mitsume Yazura corrupted breath). I need one more piece for +20% melee against electrified opponents which is fast to apply with Mitsume soulcore skill, unfortunately Imagawa doesn't want to drop his dual swords and I am gonna need a lot of stamina to wear the fifth armour piece. 🙂

[@fakeigniz13]

Using the odachi grapple is the worst, other grapples will leave the enemy in the cloud so they can be chain grappled

@@ghouse1239 the game coming out on PC in November is just a rumour btw so it could come out even later than that or earlier if we're lucky.
