Why no Split Staff build video?

[@ericrinehart477]

What would be best for leveling up a new charcter starting with fist weapons what stats should I go for as I level?

[@liams7409]

@@ericrinehart477 im wondering this aswell. was initially gona cheese new pc playthrough with a ninja build but this looks way funner but seems to be end game gear dependent with those stat re rolls though tbh.

[@BASEDxPhant0m]

discord link isn't working? Also what do the stats look like at 750?

[@MrKarlSync]

Can you confirm if Grapple Damage is applied to Izuna Drop? i have seen Izuna Drop has its own roll (rare as that might be) so Id love to know if the basic GD works with IZ. Thanks.

[@DragonForrce14]

You know it's insane when you have to ask yourself if you're even playing the same game. Good show.

[@Mechagriffen]

Thanks so much for showcasing this. I've been prepping a few graces to try a Ame and Susanoo build but now I don't have to. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's not anima spam. It's not Nin spam. And it's not onmyo buff/debuff reliant, clearly indicated by your bare minimum Dex/Magic stats. This is pure, unadulltered, fisticuffs, the way God intended. I wasn't sure if it was possible on DotW but thank you so much for giving me a hope. I can't wait to turn Nioh into a Dead or Alive game.

[@NineInchNeckbeard]

As a brand new Nioh player, this guide has completely blown my mind. Thank you

[@FuriousGunnerKat]

Great rotation on your combo.....very detailed and precise

Thanks for not trying to be the first person posting about the weapons and showing us an actual guide 🙂

[@NoTouchThrow]

This build looks like a lot of fun. Good stuff.

[@Mouiiyo]

You can farm the Saika clan in the beginning of the mission where you have to fight a big cow/fly yokai at the end, in DAWN. They drop mostly ranged weapon

[@Xenoswarm]

I did that already in previous difficulties, problem is they drop mostly rifles that are already part of a set so I was hoping there was a better method

[@Volatile9747]

I see Izuna drop, i press like.

[@knightslayer6161]

Hope you get the best of rest ma dude. Thanks for this badass build.

[@gregartman9827]

Thank you for making this man! I'm really enjoying the new DLC. Seems like a lot of people have burnt out of Nioh 2. Even tho a lot of my old problems with the game have been resolved

[@Sobored14]

This build is absolutely nutty dude, I never thought I’d be doing the solo mission duels in way of the wise but here I am 😂 thank you!!

[@ashish612]

One of the best fists build I’ve seen around here

[@Felana1988]

Absolute obliteration. Love the guide and the sheer detail of it!

[@TheRaienryuu]

Picked up the game again to go for a completely fresh save and going from Switchglaive to now Fists. This build seems crazy and I've 1 other, completely different one, that also seems interesting. But everything is ultra endgame, it would be cool to see a road to --- build. For the first gameplay loop and/or lower levels.

[@pinooftheborealvalley3245]

every time you upload a video I watch it at least 35 times in the same day, I understand all the bonuses you have equip and their reasons but your Build's are so interesting that I have become addicted

[@teslahdread4483]

Where the fuck do I get the demon horade from?

[@kidam8438]

The damage on your rotation is wild. I'm still trucking through dotd so i dont have access to graves but I've started using the Samurai Noble set, since it gives excellent ki damage and finishing flair. I totally slept on Limitless, because like you said, fists take so much ki to maintain. I'd also recommend Oh as a guardian spirit if you're not using the brave demon fists, because it seems to pop purity nearly as quick as the fox spirit pops corruption

[@92blckt]

i love ki damage builds and this sir, its a very very nice one

[@Xenoswarm]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@novadnebula451]

For anyone scared to try the build due to it looking unobtainable. It wasn't hard to build and I didn't complete dream of the demon before I started this build last week. I just finished majority of the build without all the star skills and it destroies humans and handles humans well(only lvl 360 btw). Just get the armor set on dream of the demon and get a scroll with increase Ethereal drops. Hardest part was getting the courage on the weapon. Gave up forging for it after 100 tries. Just re roll weapons with a big sudma. This will even transform some of the weapons to ranged so you can try your luck getting your Grace's there.

[@SnOoOp911]

There's a lot of appreciations in the comments I appreciate there comments and your showcasing thank you

[@SCP42723]

These videos Inspire me to pick up weapons I never thought i'd play with, god your videos are so satisfying to watch. Saw you uploaded another Nioh video a week ago, i know you're probably pretty burnt out at this point but I'm looking forward to your next upload even if it's not Nioh related. Appreciate builds!.

Gonna Buy This Game When I Get Off Work And Im Definitely Going With This Weapon/Build! Thanks For The Awesome Video!

[@rmmc513]

Just when I thought my build was pretty good, I see this. Amazing! Nice work.

[@DJMJ4]

great video. I'm still transitioning into etheral gear , and versatility is for sure easy to stack up alongside the weapons own buff. like faster than i imagine without even thinking about it. so benz is for sure still viable. though this KI control is SUPER GOOD.

[@Ellastein]

So I just learned today that you can change what stat certain weapons scale with...There's so much I don't know about this game even though I finished the main story and most side-quests. Looking forward to new game plus and the final DLC.

[@Azurefistify]

"I like your funny words magic man!" 4 piece hayabusa and 4 piece Susan or ama set is good to but mostly for a quick burst

[@ARGENIZtheUNICORN]

I’d definitely like to see your take on a death dancer build

[@bentmercer]

Death dancer with dual wield poison build works really well for me. Recently I switched to death dancer and versatility, but not liking as much. Versatility is a bit of work to get the stacks.

5:45 for those who want to skip the first quarter of the video to get to the guide part, while its cool to see the fights, i wish people making build videos would start with the build, and then show off the fights and what you can do with it, it was annoying having to sit through all that.

[@Cryograve]

[@Cryograve]

@@Husbear1992 You're the one who literally said "it's annoying having to sit through all that". I called you entitled because it's 'annoying' to see people complaining on videos that people provide for free, especially over something that the content creator provided an immediate solution for, i.e a timestamp for, precisely so you both wouldn't have to sit through it, and I imagine, not whine about in the comments. But "you do you."

@@Cryograve and it is annoying, hence me making the tag for people who want to skip it o.o why are you so damn heated about this? Lol

[@daniellarsson4308]

Max capacity for Ninjutsu and Omny increases past 100. 40 capacity at 200 stat. Agree on versatility. The hazle to get the stats from stance dancing abilities instead of focus on hard hitting abilities, ends up with similar result with less thought process behind it. Versatility might be better when you start doing stone of penance +5 runs but prior to that its not, and even with that, its a matter of preference. I personally cant stand versatility since I dont want to be forced into stance dancing, something I do most of the time but when I want to, when it needs to be done, not cause I have to. I personally use Tsu set, omnyo set with melee builds for endless abilities and an on demand damage buff since as soon as you use an ability, you have the damage buff active at max capacity for around 20 seconds, and during that time if you attack enough, you get the spell back, to the point it can reset all the way back until what you invested in Jutsu. I think its a sleeper strong build but the Ninjutsu version is equally strong. That on demand 20-25% dmg buff is really strong. Coupled with quality of life traits all over.

[@MrSOM3A04Games]

im watching summoners war ( One Shot Day: Shaman ) and this video comes up :p thanks Xenos

[@Pr0v0kat0r777]

19:58 Xenoswarm, how did u found out that Gozuki deplete max ki of the enemy? My problems with soul cores is that there is no info about what each core does to enemy? no stats - only video and description "Brutal charge - transform into a gozuki and charge forward, using horns... bla bla" how the hell should we know what does it do? and another example i just found out that regular core of imps(flyng heads w horns that gives u element on your weapon) imbues ur weapon w sertain element, after completing a whole game once KARL... Maybe i'm missing something? Will Mezuki for example deplete max ki, while enemy is in winded state? As i remember max ki can deplete corruption element right? but Gozuki does not give you that. Explain please my ass is buring... Thx btw for ur videos they help ALOT in understanding that beautiful nightmare of nioh

[@essam007]

So from my understanding. I can have a Devine accessory and upgrade it to ethereal? All I have to do is use a stone of penance and it will do it’s magic. Right? What about if I wanna change graces

[@vinceclary8086]

Woah awesome

[@nickrackel7949]

This is my favorite build you have done so far, followed by your sword/dual sword build. Amazing builds + superb combat. I really hope they make a Nioh 3 or some company creates a game that has combat mechanics like this. The mechanics are the reason I keep playingt. I am definitely going to buy Nioh 2 remastered when I finally get my hands on a PS5

[@Minotaur-ey2lg]

Their civil war at the end of the Edo period would be a good setting.

[@alexanderdrago3905]

scroll with etheral drop up and accessories with lucky drop weapons. will nurf your build to farm as if you just run 1 melee and 2 ranged it will drop more rifles/ cannons than usual. did this to grind out my second rifle for my death dancer.

[@Joeblowesixnine]

Dang I can’t imagine how long it took you to roll those star stats on your gears. Nice build tho

[@raisedbybears1991]

It's been a long five days waiting for this

Hope it didn't disappoint~

[@skruffymagoo]

End game builds look so fun just getting there is the problem this takes real time and dedication to achieve

[@Half-Mi]

A lot of ppl complaining about this build being hard to get. Not difficult. If you play nioh seriously enough to min-max. Then you’re already at 1,000+ hours and this gear isn’t hard. 1. Forge divine version of Brave gear 2. Accessories should have: luck weapon/armor ea 3. Use wise scroll with onryoki and farm him HARD!!!!! A ton of times. Even apply a stone so you can get more ethereal accessories. By the end of that. You will have plenty of ethereal brave drops and enough graces gear to make your own set. Wise difficulty is awesome cause it forces you to be flexible and creative. Don’t mimic this build exactly. Take the base idea and run with it.

[@haydrionrayel4044]

Woooow Amazing Video !!!!! Love it !

[@Xenoswarm]

Thanks!

@Xenoswarm I’ve been using your ultimate tonfa build pre DLC and It works fantastic. I was wondering are you going to update it concerning that Tengu got horrible nerved post dlc? Or can I still use that build with some minor changes? Keep up the good work 👍🏾

Great build great vid thanks for the efforts Not sure ill be using the marici to me 07 p take looks more adapted to my style since i am not good with cancels. Gs why use the new gs to apply corruption while not using corruption fists they have instant buff once awakened maybe ill use blue dragon for lighting build. I found immovable submission good for ethereal ranged farming also saika clan scroll is really good with your ki damage it will be piece of cake I found that accessories are the key of every build since they are the hardest to farm. Looking for your upcoming videos and streams.

@xenoswarm . Hey dude, appreciate all the videos. Im sure your are going to make another "immortal swordsman" which will be awesome!. Heres a few ideas I've come up with that may or not not inyerest you; the combination of; Honda clan, wild boar helm, ultimate constitution, 3 piece shibata, 7 piece acala, 3 piece genji bloodline, veterans, boar spirit, onroyoki, dual swords and the standard life recovery omnyos. Insane damage mitigation and survival for sure, keep up the good work!

Any recommendations for first play-through builds that haven't been nerf-ed?

Wow, im only like halfway through my first playthrough and thought "mmh, maybe switch from odachi to claws / fists. lets check some youtube videos!" Needless to say i didnt understand 20% of what you said or what i saw... :D

[@JohnD_x]

Used to play odachi and its boring compare imo and fist is more fast phased as well. If you play this on ps5 or even pc, there is up to 120fps, playing on higher fps does make a difference as well

[@HANZOREIZA]

This is how I play the game in my mind but in reality...........

[@alenezi989a3]

I recently got back into Nioh, I stoped playing after I finished the game when it released back then it only had way of the Samurai and way of the strong, so I completely lost and I Don't know wth everyone is talking about XD, I'm very interested in the Fists since I wanted them to be in the game tonfas just didn't cut it, have to hand it to team ninja they excelled at making the combat, weapons and the skills but for the love of hod couldn't they make it more accessible learning all these mechanics and and tempering and skill share on top of rare drops and random skills I feel tired and I just barely started >_>, I really like the game but at this point it's alot easier to get a phd than understanding how builds work.

cant wait for more fist build. btw, you can cap jutsu at 40 now with more points in dex/magic.

[@tengkuhafiz4174]

Excuse me my good sir, I’m still in the story campaign and having a blast with the fists. With that being said, is there a reason you’re not running ‘Amago’ for the clan? *(Increased Attack & Defense)* *Fists* +20 *(Blindness) *Ninjutsu Hit*

[@Xenoswarm]

Once you reach the higher difficulties, +20 attack is literally nothing. You will temper high levels of attack onto your armor pieces. For clans, there is far more benefit in taking things like Ki damage or percentage based damage modifiers such as Active Skill Damage increase.
