Nioh | The Complete Video Guide to Onmyo Magic: Conclusion

[@misterq3409]

You probablyE don’t look at your comments anymore for this game but I wanted to say thank you so much for laughs and the information your build is the reason I made it through way of the wise

[@misterq3409]

Thank you for taking the time to react

[@Elfenshow]

@@misterq3409 Sure thing, I always read the comments. Always warms the heart, everyone is real nice. Almost makes me think I'm not doing this whole youtube thing right.

Music @2:31 is from Baten Kaitos, "Between the Winds" from the world map. One of my favs to sleep to. Great vid as always!

[@purpleisthesneakiest]

bro steel talisman completely negate the defense malus from carnage talisman before applying their bonus this is because you can only have one buff of each type from consumables (which magic/ninjutsu technicallt are), and the carnage talisman -defense is technically a buff. so as long as you apply steel talisman after carnage talisman, you will have no downsides

[@Elfenshow]

Holy shit you're right. Edit: Shows how much I remember, someone else also said this almost a year ago. :P

Editing 20 out of 10! This is so great

I'm downloading this game when i get home to my ps4 tuesday, can't wait to be cautious hero and spend 3 weeks maxing my stats in the beginner mission by killing mobs.

[@TheShuuman]

Dood, you deserve so may more subscribers than what you got. I ran across one of your videos by accident years ago and have been looking for you ever since. You desere way more subs than you got.

[@erikleeblake]

You, sir, are a Sid-Vicious- sized toxic dose of awesome sauce. Yes, I know I'm so late to this party that I may as well be mumbling incoherently in Babylonian and wearing animal skin Depends, but the quality of your work diminishes not with time. With the child's play success of a super-villain toying with an imbecile, you simultaneously caused me to consider liberally investing in Onmyo magic and wishing I could mind-wipe all knowledge of its existence. Bravo.

[@JMrealgamer]

Oh this is the first Nioh. Well here I go thinking it was Nioh 2. I have both but I’m definitely into the second one right now.

[@iGuy28]

As someone who specializes in omnyo my recent build... Let me tell you. *Holy shit.* It's really fucking good.

[@geothetwo]

I love your vids man, I wish you made that ninjutsu video that you teased

[@Elfenshow]

Yeah :X me too. By the time I was half finished with my ninjutsu video there were already people with better ninjutsu builds out there than mine and they were more popular than me so I didn't think my video would actually help anyone which was the reason I was making Nioh stuff at all. Probably should've still made it for the luls. Probably still could.

[@PooferLlama]

Thank you very much for your thoughts on Onmyo Magic. I gotta say your editing is quite awesome! May I ask how you were able to effectively have a Photo Mode for Nioh?

[@Elfenshow]

I used Nvidia ansel for any shots that were suspended in time and Cheat Engine for any moving gameplay that didn't have HUD anywhere. Thank you very much for the compliment I highly appreciate it.

[@stephendwyer6210]

Now that's how you end a video!!

[@seyo8068]

Tnx for explaining it so that even a noob can understand it. Well done my friend, weil done!👍👍

Bruh such a helpful video thank you

[@MrDre10day]

More videos more game strategies your the best at this

[@Zamusss]

Couple things to note, Steel has one extremelly good use it cancels Carnage defense debuff, Hermit is not entirely useless it's not impossible to get 100% proyectile and elemental reduction in this case hermit allows you to just face tank attacks and not be staggered by them, Degeneration just sucks look at your own elemental damage you deal in LW over 6K physical damage and 200 elemental even at 200% elemental damage you barely bump it to 400 no matter how you look at it you are losing more than 50% of your damage, making enemies barely 3~4 hit easier to ki break doesn't help when you need to ki break them 3 times more I tested this with tonfas and it wasn't worth it, Reciprocity is mostly worthless except for people with damage under status ailments outside LW the ki buff cancels the debuff so casting it again once it trigger the possitive buffs is free damage, inside LW ki regen does nothing so this is again a free debuff.

[@Elfenshow]

I learn new things everyday. Did not know about Steel canceling carnage debuff thats downright amazing. I used degeneration specifically with a Date Masamune wind damage build where with a wind talisman buff I was dealing more damage with the wind element than I was with my physical damage and found it to be a really fascinating way to play, Valid for late game play? Probably not, but it was the only use I could find for the talisman period. I hadn't seen anyone do anything good with hermit so I'm glad to hear there is a time and place for it. This is why I love Onmyo magic, if you're clever enough you can find a use for stuff that doesn't appear even remotely practical. Thank you for the information sir I might make a quick addendum video down the road if there's any demand for it.

[@Zamusss]

Omnyo, especially confusion is something many players slept on, it's straight up broken and makes most Yokai a joke, gale shoots, tengu fans, guardian spirit talismans, weapon buffs, so many extremelly easy way to proc it, once you get the grace to recover omnyo items it's easilly one of the best builds in the game and with a ton of room for variation.

[@furiousninja2546]

Fun fact, degeneration doesn't lower the attack damage of the ki burst talisman making them a great combo.

[@AltioraQuaeriteCH]

I think I'm going to finish Harvard first before mastering the combat system.

[@omarsameh5007]

will you back for nioh 2 ?

[@Talesfan13]

Hope you're still active on this channel - love your vids! I was just wondering, how were you able to move the camera like that on those great cinematic shots in that montage at the end? / how were you able to freezeframe that stuff?!

[@Elfenshow]

I've been real busy with college video projects, but hopefully I'll be more active soon. I used a combination of cheat engine and Nvidia Ansel to get a lot of my shots. Nvidia ansel tethers you a little too close to the character for my liking but it does happen to freeze game time and allow you to manipulate contrast and colors in real time while you record the footage.

[@Talesfan13]

@@Elfenshow Oh boy, good luck with the video projects, and thanks for the answer! Can't wait til you're back!

[@redshots5275]

Is elemental buildup on weapons based on damage of hits or amount of hits?

[@Elfenshow]

It seems like it's based on the amount of damage though it seems to vary from source to source. It feels like elemental shots do more buildup when compared to the damage of elements on weapons though I seem to remember having an easier time applying elements on the faster hitting weapons. That's probably because the elemental build up does decay so if you're constantly hitting its always building up and has no time to go down but actually getting it to proc the elemental status effect is about hitting a certain threshold of elemental damage. I had a running theory that Onmyo magic power affects elemental buildup more than it does damage and certain jutsus (like elemental shots) just scale more with magic power but I'm not that much of a number cruncher so I never got around to testing it.

[@redshots5275]

​@@Elfenshow Yeah it seems a bit all over the place with weapons. Ofc, the resistances of the enemy in question also matter. Though what's funny is I'm currently running a gunstick tonfa build and with just 35-40 magic (can't remember off-hand), if I land a devastation blast perfectly I'm applying scorch almost instantly. Once I perfect it I think with just a talisman of another element it'll be effortless to cuck Yokai bosses that can be burned. EDIT: it was with 99 magic, forgot I had switched some things around. So definitely a heavy investment. I do have one other question for you: How do you handle getting swamped as an Onmyo Joe? I'm not the biggest fan of LW and I feel like the game isn't built for large scale CC. With the amount of magic cap the advanced shots take I feel like you'd have to really specialize in it.

[@TheValiantBob]

So if you're going for a heavy magic build, should you raise the stat all the way to 200, or would that be a waste?

[@XonixDerps]

So I can be mah ninja self and use magic too :v ? But on a legit note so if I wanna be melee but use more magic so hybrid id have to increase spirit/magic up for my shots etc to do damage or no?

[@Elfenshow]

You don't have to unless you want to proc really easy with normal elemental shots. Gale shot along with select guardian spirit talismans are usually all you'll ever need to apply quick effects no matter what stats you have. However If you want Onmyo magic to be highly damaging then you want spirit/magic as high as you can manage. It mostly helps with applying elements faster but you can roll shot damage on gear(these will effect the element in general instead of the actual shot spell like it implies) and get some disgusting damage numbers as well. Its pretty easy to just do buffing/debuffing even if you have no points in onmyo magic at all however since the straight up debuffs get applied no matter what as long as they hit and buffing is fairly straight forward. If you're hurting for stat points and you still want the best magic you can milk out of your hybrid build you can try just putting on Hi-nezumi(The edgy fire rat) as your primary guardian spirit and/or Genbu (The not-so-ninja turtle) as your secondary and this can give you a pretty big boost to onmyo magic power especially if you aren't investing any points into onmyo at all. Hi-nezumi will also give you extra stealth so its works for being a ninja boi, and the unlimited onmyo chance can also be pretty substantial when combined with even just the effect on gloves.

[@XonixDerps]

Alright and thanks for the reply! Ill try some of that out in general I just want a fun time with magic so I dont need the greatest damage possible just something good around middle ya know, so ill try a few things with the elemental shot thing in mind etc oh and water is pretty good right? ( If I recall from ya vids) if going hybrid since itll reduce defense too plus confusion? o:

[@yungnarciss3798]

i just have one question what should i do to have unlimited elemental shots now that shadowround talisman is nerfed thx

[@Elfenshow]

You pretty much can't. You can get close to 50% chance to proc unlimited with a lot of time and luck with inheritable traits on equipment but it would honestly probably take less time to get the whole grace of tsukiyomi set from the final difficulty and just regen onmyo magics by going in and out of living weapon. Team Ninja doesn't like us mages.
