Can i please get the song that was in the montage of your intro?

[@Drakengard-cb5ot]

I noticed in this video, you give no info on what should be equipped for High stance, Mid stance, or Low stance... would love to see this video updated with such info

[@misterq3409]

BEST NINJA BUILD ONLINE! NO DEBATE FOR ME . Thank you for your time 🙏 it really does mean a lot

[@tommyirish9685]

Wow I never knew how useful renegade dragon is.. I've been focusing mainly on highstance. This was a very informative video, thank you

[@pablosproviero6009]

Brother.. I have to say your builds are the most fun and interesting to play (also watched your dual swords build.. so much fun!). I understand how people can be attracted to all the cheese builds around YT using only one active skill or when it comes to ninjitsu just storm kunai to melt bosses, but that actually takes away all what makes this game great and versatile. I was making something similar to this build and I'm taking some nice tips from this video. Thanks and keep it real! Once I´m finished with my ninjitsu buiId I will start working on an Omnyo one. Hope you have one coming up too!

[@Xenoswarm]

Appreciate the comment. Regarding Omnyo, I have the Shaman God build that uses magic and anima gain with hatchets, but moving forward I think I'll only be using Onmyo to buff rather than spell cast. We'll see what the DLC changes

[@MrSOM3A04Games]

I really like your build its powerful and balanced at the same time Also i like the montage in first every build you show us Keep the good work

[@AetigmaFacade]

I like how your ninja build is actually how a ninja would think. Efficiency over all and adaptability.

[@luisestevan3272]

Sick build dude, I love to play Ninja. Don't worry man, all that cheese will be needed when those DLCs start to drop.

[@kamui2755]

now this a ninja build I can get behind. I didn't know that feather + burst counter trick, it's sooo useful

[@80sNinjaVandal]

Extremely useful plus looks cool! Kinda reminds me of Ps2 Shinobi’s Stealth Dash.

[@ronin7419]

Gran Creatividad y originalidad!! Brutal gameplay donde muestras muchos de los aspectos y conceptos que se necesitan desarrollar y dominar... para potenciar y sacarle el mayor rendimiento a una build en este increíble Nioh 2...Impresionante Build Xenoswarm!! mi mas sincera enhorabuena...

[@l0lhei541]

I'm more of a sword user, personally, with flowing shadow being my favorite skill with some juicy backstab bonus. But you touched upon one thing, that instantly made me hit subscribe. "As with all my builds, we make sure the weapons we use still retain usefulness and meaning". FINALLY! Someone who shares my outlook on builds in Nioh! Yeah, I want to do great damage, but I'm not one for spamming kunai all day, all night, one skill, one stance... its terribly boring. Nioh has an AMAZING fighting system, so why not indulge in it to the fullest? I might try to make this build, but more sword based. Sort of uncertain how that will go, but if anything, kusarigama is always my secondary weapon, due to the fun of handling crowds with it!

[@AreYouThereGodItsMePhil]

The real question here is the fashion you're wearing is fire.

[@emannthemc]

lmao

[@cjseguin6094]

whats your fashion set?

[@deaglebeanie6970]

Yes what armor pieces are they?

[@christophermoon3717]

Impressive and logical to not make it so easy its not enjoyable. The video at the beginning shredding everything was fun too!

[@sayamghosh5133]

This looks insane. Love how skilled you are as well

[@blackwidow7804]

Little tip. You can roll melee ki dmg 11.9% which apply to all melee attacks. Its superior to active skill ki dmg 12.9% which apply only to active skill.

[@AleXelerate8]

Since he clearly stated he likes to use high stance high attack 3 hit combo, he would be finishing bosses faster than his current setup. Nice.

[@TheFivegoodemperors]

Final someone who knows how good renegade dragon can be.

[@Xenoswarm]

Tbf, to know how strong it is, you must first understand its flaws. It's almost philosophical haha

[@chiefmac88]

It's good and probably the coolest looking move. But I prefer Reaper.

[@Mr_Creasy_]

What do you guys believe are it's pros and cons?

[@ghostmist6]

@@Mr_Creasy_ well it doesn't do as much focused damage as Reaper however it's overall a more badass move and flashy so I prefer that anyway. 🤣

[@KaioKevin93]

Reaper is the best but because you are stationary during it, only really that good against big yokai bosses. Against more mobile/ human targets i prefer crimson flurry > renegade dragon

[@Krakenflax]

Tadakatsu: This is getting interesting Translation: I am losing a lot of blood

[@davidmthorley]

Great video. I learned a lot of things I never knew about.

[@vb01287]

damn man thats a ninja build for real moving so fast making ninjas look real good lol

[@XonixDerps]

Gonna use this and mess with it abit to make Trevor from castlevania lmao but either way awesome job in this one man!

[@IVANGUARDI]

That was a freakin epic intro :O!

[@PadPoet]

Amazing channel bro, I'm surprised you only have this many subs. May I ask what's the flute song that plays during the guide at 3:10? Your OST selection is on point so maybe worth adding these to the video once they start :)

[@Nubin]

Greetings from Brazil. Ur build is amazing. I will gonna use this. Thanks man

[@Dmc841]

I took a risk buying Nioh 2 cause I just couldnt get into number 1 even though I really wanted to but Nioh 2 adds enough to the game that I'm really enjoying it.

[@seiferblade9180]

Daniel Mc I’m a little over 200 hrs in Nioh, and am just about done. I can understand why people can’t get into it. However, despite looking so similar, Nioh 2 does look a blast

[@amyizwanmustaffa2561]

Your build is amazing man.it also gave me some idea to fine tune my ninja tonfa build.

[@shinukisan2222]

Been following you since back when The Witcher 3 came out. As always, great content.

That's a long time!4

[@redshots5275]

Your content is so good that I still watch despite your voice triggering my misophonia.

[@Xenoswarm]

I mean thanks but ... D: don't stress yourself out

[@lozviv1180]

yea buddi exactly how i just bossed the game, element feathers, renegade dragon and blade spin, extraction/ki -dispel yokai realm/weakness/sloth talismans and power pill. all you need. nice seeing someone else with a simula style

[@Bl4ckH4nd]

This is great, I've been using Pwar's ninja build but there's no focus on weapons really and I just love the kusa so much, luckily I have all the gear rolled proper so using this will need very little adjustment. Also to anyone that wants a ton of inherits, go to PwarGaming's channel (ultimate ninja build video) and check his Discord link, we're on all day and everyone is constantly trading revenants. I got all my gold attack, untouched ninjutus, ninjutsu power and shurken/kunai damage stuff in less than 2 hours.

[@lReb]

I’m on his discord, how do I find you guys? Am I doing something wrong?

[@Bl4ckH4nd]

@@lReb Just go into the revenant trading channel and let people know what you need. Then you can go into a level and they'll leave a revenant for you to farm what you need

[@emberarashi1987]

Is there a ps4 group like that? I remember there was one for nioh 1 called “my revenant craps gold” or something

[@Bl4ckH4nd]

@@emberarashi1987 This group is PS4 only since Nioh 2 isn't on PC yet. GO to PwarGaming on KZbin and check one of his Nioh 2 build videos, there is a Discord link in the description :)

We want that character creation code 😂😂. Loving the builds so far too.

[@jasonmurphy4957]

Just built this today so much fun!! Also cost me all my materials ..rip lol awesome content dude!!!

[@mayasamsara]

Use the vajra helmet for increased attack with purification with this nekomata guardian spirit.. I use the peacock one for stance based attack as I play high stance.. I tried the coiled helmet for poison build, malefactors with paralysis build.. Poison is still open as it stays on the enemy.. you don't need to stack up on untouched ninjustu so much as you have the shinobi box.. Also I have rolled renegrade dragon on all 5 chest pieces.. So I loose out on Ki and Life but my damage and movement is fast..

[@babayaga4320]

I'm starting to pull this build together now and using the Kusa', and I'm still a ways off just starting NG+ but one issue I'm having is getting purity to accumulate fast enough for my liking and when I do get it to stick purity seems to run out fairly quick. Maybe it's because I just came from a magic build, and it was super easy to accumulate any element especially fire since I had a fire buld and fire accumulation stacked, plus I've never ran a purity build before.I expected to be able to put purity accumulation on accessories, but it doesn't exist, at least not in dream of the strong (plus I thought it was weird to find out there is no purity imbued active skill when there is one for corruption and both ailments and every element) This build does seem to be very powerful though, and I'm just getting started, so I know it has a lot of potential. Thanks for the build I'm going to stick with it and figure it out.

[@grimbloodthorn610]

Some killer beats at the end of the video

[@mother_coconutz7684]

Great job again man your Killin it ✌️

[@Xenoswarm]

Thanks brother!

[@JohnB-ws4ge]

i wish tonfa lined up better with kusari. I loved your tonfa build and used it with spear, but i find kusari more enjoyable as secondary weapon. Which is your favorite build so far?

[@wolfop4427]

How is this legend don’t have like mill subs😭

[@bad_max88-Ps5Pro]

Nice vid design first off 3 min gamplay very dope

[@GoodnightMoon4]

This looks awesome. Is it possible to see your ninjutsu/onmyo trees? I know the talismans and stuff were obvious, but wasn't sure what else you'd recommend

[@BrendanDHara]

Awesome video man, I've been following you since your Master Swordsman build for Nioh 1. Out of curiosity, do you still play Nioh 1, and what is your current build for that? Know it's a little off topic, just figured I'd ask!

[@zionjerson9059]

Nice build again.. i follow all your build.. but i notice its desame character, i know you used book of reincarnation to reset the skill.. but hows your other build? Like your imortal swordsman 2.0 and others.you still save it? And how..?,,sorry im new in nioh 2 but again nice video

[@blackreaper2000]

After finishing the game, you get access to a new menu in your Hut, called builds. This is were you can save builds and settings.

[@zionjerson9059]

Thanks

[@asianinvasion147]

Good guide! I really, really respect your editing skills. You have a good eye and ear for the songs and timing. Which software you use?

[@congakoenig]

Is this still viable? If not, what would you suggest changing going into ng++ and beyond? Love your vids dude, because theyre not the stupid cheese builds. I‘ve played the og ninja gaiden games and think its ridiculous to play a team ninja game whitout using the deep combat mechanics. So thanks for your efforts my man!

[@danylo211]

yes, this build is still viable. however, shuriken, kunai and storm kunai damage has been nerfed heavily and is not worth using in endgame. feathers are far more better and deal tons of damage to bosses.

[@Azadan0]

@@danylo211 I'm still trying to figure out how feathers are better than throwables. 80% of the time enemies just...walk away and take no damage, while throwables are almost guaranteed to hit.

[@danylo211]

@@Azadan0 bro i stopped playing the game because it is too grindy and boring and the community is dead so trading is much harder

[@Atarulol]

Hey man awesome guide I love it. Quick are you casting your ninja feathers so fast and you transform while doing it? Are you casting the spell while pressing another button?

Hi .. amazing build just 1 question please .. the stats on your armors did u customize them yourself or did the game drop them for for u ???? .. thanks

[@zcjrz]

Great build! Can you tell me the name of this set? I have been looking for something like yours to refashion my character. Thank you in advance.

[@jikopavo3964]

Did I miss an equipment? How come there is only one piece of Warrior of the west set that I can see but it says 2 pieces?

Thanks, finally got one by defeating Otakemaru on on NG +

[@-NAGI]

This build is still amazing! Also I was wondering where you put your prestige points in?

[@l0lhei541]

Would those that try this build say its viable for Dream of the Demon? This was my main build, until I went Spear mode for a long time, and with DotD out, I want to go back to it, but Im unsure if it can hold its own as well as it used to.

[@kristiannealy3474]

yes it can

build is amazing as expected but that background music tho, so fitting, i need it, name?

[@Nady87full]

hello, congratulations for the video. I had two questions. where do you drop the kato armor? and how did you have dexterity A and skill A in your weapon?

[@FilthyCasual272]

My question is, how are your stat requirements to access Spirit Guardian special affects so low? On your hatches water shaman vid, your stats didn't reflect the necessary requirement to use Tengen Kujaku's special affects yet you had them. I've been trying to figure that out. I've beaten ng+ so I'm fine tuning my equipment for the build but the Spirit Guardian is one thing that's still really bugging me, not having those bottom two special affects. Please let me know if you find the time.

[@Xenoswarm]

Spirit Guardians? On gear they're lower because I forge all of my armor, but my spirit guardian requirements are the same as anyone elses. On Tegen I never spec into the final unlock, but my stats are reflective of the of what's active on the spirit because I'm getting the footage in one go. So not sure what you mean.

[@meechhines9319]

What about a kusarigama and odachi build?

[@CalvinKlein2023]

Dude you say NG+ but. you wont get the YASAKANI at early NG+ so how can you build the equipment in NG+ without it. You get it as a reward fro the final BOSS on NG+ which is already at the end. I thought this guide is for NG+ which is not. this is for early WOTD

[@yoyocatman_gaming7015]

I know I might be late on this one but... Is the kato's + Joning armor set still the best for this kind of build or are there better choises since all DLC are now in the game

[@al-hasanal-habib2]

Woww nice build, definitely worth trying. By the way i saw some builds currently showing active skills damage of 60 to 70% how is it possible to achieve such number?

[@fareedaghayev4300]

About the remodeling. Will I get the same result if I change the "skill" to "magic" for Kusarigama?

[@old-royking]

at 3.50 says what ever one says i just like to see good op ninja build with out no care

[@zhaf]

Is this build still viable in the new dlc/difficulty? And would you change anything to run a ninjutsu/Kasa build in the new dlc/difficulty.

Hi new to your channel enjoying your build content. I was wondering if I can ask you if there is any chance of helping out with some of the orange transferables you have in your build. I don't usually ask until I've tried myself for while but struggling to find the kunai damage and kusi skills inheritables. Any help will be well appreciated.
