Nioh 2 - Katana Build - Master Swordsman

[@FerrariKing]

This is my go to channel for Nioh, Dark Souls and similar games. Fightincowboy gives the best in depth instructions on these games.

[@TheDoomballoon]

He's responsive too. Each time I've given feedback or thoughts on builds, he's responded back with sensible agreements/disagreements.

[@oldcowbb]

not a lot of choice for nioh

[@spikytoaster]

Yea nah jsy8yddysy33djxid

[@danielhazeski1216]

Probably the closest thing to a Isshin roleplay build, neat, can't wait to try it out.

[@trinity3422]

I seriously hope there’s a Nioh 3, I will continue to play these games as long as they keep coming out. Hopefully they update the game engine and graphics for the next one tho Team Ninja has something special here and I think they should keep cranking these out until more souls fans and samurai/ninja rpg fans start catching onto its awesome combat system

[@rentalsnake6542]

Agreed, flawless and engaging combat system, and the atmosphere they create is brilliant.

[@rickydiscord7671]

the game reminds of onimusha. 1st game you play as a human and 2nd game you play as half yokai. you beat demons and take souls to level. some bosses are also hit like a truck if not careful.

[@Nyytti]

I watched both the stream vods of you making this build and was just in disbelief the whole time, since I basically went through an identical process a few days ago. Tried Kingo, tried Isanagami with water, ended up with Yatagarasu + Master Swordsman + Tengen. In the end my build ended up being like 90% the same as you did. I found myself going "yeah, that's exactly what I thought too!" constantly throughout the stream vods. Makes me feel good to see that my own buildcrafting has evolved to a level where my logic flows in a similar way to yours. I ended up going lightning to slow down enemies for easier Iai Quickdraw hits. You've taught me a ton about Nioh 2 and can't wait for more videos and streams, keep up the good work!

[@gibec8252]

Quick question, how did you manage to have Iai QuickDraw on all of the sets , I tried Tempering, it didn’t work, I tried to farm revenants I had no luck to find a piece with inherentable Iai QuickDraw, any advice will be helpful.

Dude, thank you. I know I’m late to the Nioh 2 party here. But I’d be unable to get the most out of Nioh and Souls like games without your channel. I got platinum on Sekiro bc of your vids. You’re the best man!

This build claps cheeks. Thanks for putting up these build up so i have some idea of what to go for to prep for dlc. Love ur content.

This was a fun build to be in stream with while you were making. Great to see one that's not singular mastery

This is definitely powerful af and I’m not even in NG+ yet. Thanks bro

[@ViciousTriangle]

I had always pegged sword being a boring weapon, never really liked it that much in the first nioh but this video really shows how versatile it can be and I'll definitely be trying it out when I get to new game plus

[@brandonyineman959]

Thanks for all the great builds. I'm going to try this one next while I max out swords.

[@ps3dubbs]

Cheers for the Video - lvl 180 at the min and dont have everything that you do in the video but have most or lower lvl versions of what you do and had to mid/max my builds and temper a few to get it at a sweet spot. Without you’re video I dont think I would have made a decent armour and attack set. Thanks again

For any questions about inheritables: You can join the Nioh 2 discord and discuss it with people and they should have what you need, you also need max familiarity on the piece you are transferring the Inheritables from.

[@splat9463]

nioh 2 noob here, ive watched the whole thing but i dont understand where the healing comes from? buff? spell? armor? any help?

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

He is using a magic spell that makes amatria show up whenever he gets a hit on an enemy. That is where its coming from

[@cultofpersonality1145]

A handy idea for the helmet buff would be to quick slot some yokai water pots to toss if you ever want to get that buff going right before a fight and you dont have a yokai pool available. Also, I have to go farm that lesser umi bozu soul core so I'm running the water Oni Bi for now. The anima bonus on elemental attack its giving me on top of it helping proc saturation (not as good as the Umi water shot though) is pretty bananas. Did you happen to give the oni bi a try first so I can get some advice on which you think is better in the long run between the two?

Thanks for this vid. I took inspiration from it and crafted an Atagi Sadamune with the same effects you got. But instead of this swordsman set, I am going with Justice Ministry set which gives 9% melee damage for 5 pcs with Yasakani, which is higher than the attack and defense + 50 you get with your set. Added Atagi for the 100 life bonus and a great kanemitsu as 2nd weapon for Onmyo austerity.
