Nioh 2: Adept Lessons - 66 - Sword Guide I

[@SonnyFRST]

And people think THIS is a Souls clone.

[@Auvisome]

Seems more similar to Ninja Gaiden tbh

[@SonnyFRST]

@@Auvisome That's the joke.

100 times better then souls

This game made me feel disappointed in Elden Ring.

[@Belzebubke]

I never had a more satisfying combat experience in a game than with the sword in Nioh 1 & 2

[@internalreality]

this game is pure magic, i feel bad for sleeping on this game for so long. nioh 2 has prob the best combat out of any game i've ever played

[@Dimiblossom]

Try Ninja Gaiden

[@nvbl2806]

@@ykattt99 it's an ability that drops from a boss battle

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

Your weapon guides are game porn. And a large part of what got me interested in the game. There really doesn't seem to BE a "Bad" weapon, which is NUTS given the range of tools here.

[@shinkamui]

just as impressing is not having redundant weapons. they all feel so different to play with. Their game design team is beyond jacked

Samurai of class, glad to see you gathered at this dojo for some more culture enlightenment. A toast with the finest sake to our humble sensei, PooferLama Sama 🙏

Your combo that starts at 7:50 is just pure brilliance. You've given me something to strive for. Keep up the great work and content. 😍

@@christopherrummery6526 don't remember the name. But to do it is after a strong attack light attack then strong attack again.

[@dante8506]

I was eagerly waiting for your weapon guides bro tyvm.

[@NunyaBisnis1993]

I was one of the people that started out thinking the exact same. "Eh the sword is like the basic bitch weapon at the game, starter weapon isn't that great." yada yada yada. Then I started playing with it more, learned things, learned pre-shifting and watched your guides. Now the sword is probably my favorite weapon followed by the switchglaive and dual swords. It came to the point the sword became my go to weapon whenever I needed it when I couldn't beat a boss. This weapon is so amazingly fluid, fast and versatile it's insane.

[@darrencfisher]

love your enthusiasm for this game!

[@tadashihatsudai]

This video made me reconsider putting sword of discernment into one of my slots. I used to use it a bit back in Nioh but I stuck with other moves such as Flowing Shadow and Backwave>Tempest since I found those most useful for me. For most part I’m comfortable with the katana, but I could always use a refresher or learn something new. Hence why videos like these are such a blessing to have around.

[@Skille7]

I play sword only (high stance most of the time XD) in Nioh 2, currently at Dream of the Strong. However it feels like 80% of the stuff here is new to me~ Great content!

[@caliosinebernkastel4034]

Just picked up the game today, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@partialbullet2215]

I actually play NIOH 1 (Sword main) and this video gives me a lot of help

[@Apudurangdinya]

after 1 month of elden ring I can't bring myself to do anymore gameplay, nioh mechanic is just too addicting, elden ring combat is pretty much hit, dodge roll, then Repeat, while nioh is just chaosly fun, keep starting new playtrough and experimenting, played it since launch and yet I still felt unfulfilled, keep itching for more

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Elden Ring combat is trash. Nioh 2 devs got their priorities straight, absolute perfect combat system, and then they add the rest. Not the other way around.

[@filipeflorim9826]

i cant play this way changing instances for combo, its like killer instinct, ur truly a hayabusa

[@stephenmclemore7614]

It seemed impossible at first. Heck I could barley ki pulse. And I hated the ki pulse.. but now I'm annoyed more games don't have it. Feel like I'm wasting that skill that took me forever to learn.

[@emperadormbv1544]

Can someone please explain how to use shadow sword i bought the skill but its not working

[@nickrackel7949]

Awesome! Can't wait to see your videos on the other weopon types

[@esmolol4091]

Sword and Spear gives you litteraly anything you need. Sword for dueling human opponents with perfect guard punish, kurama sword dance etc. Spear for Aerial and ranged pokes and overal crowd control or safe engagements

[@rdg665]

If you want to fight humans , Odachi is 10000 times better than sword you don't even need to do anything except spam moonlit snow redux or mid stance strong attack into high stance high attack double tap and into twin moon , Whoever gets hit by that will get their ki broken or either die instantly.

[@esmolol4091]

​​​​@@rdg665I prefer to combat with style. Nothing beats Backwave 2 with tempest and I would argue, with the right ki dmg build it hits even harder ki dmg than odachi against sir-block-a-lot. Against Yokai odachi boar is awesome for the same reason. And the spear, well, the low stance with monkey and such has hyperarmor afterward with the consecutive attacks, which comes in super handy against enemies who try to poke at your from different angles.

[@paps3841]

Playing this on ps, thanks for showing the inputs in the controler

[@su88906]

I like tiger sprint just because it is the most annoying move by muneshige

[@sakibm6522]

I actually completed dream of the demon by just spaming kurama sword dance 😅😅

[@ykattt99]

How do you get running after the Ki pulse dodge?I can't get it is it require specific upgrade?

[@relnqwshnzl2886]

Im a sword main and i have learnt quite alot from these videos, are there any updated videos coming out for tutorials?

[@TheOneWhoGrips.l]

Do you have a build for swords?

[@visionofgrey]

Everyone I do Iai QuickDraw or all moves with the same input I tend to always sheath my sword or it does nothing if I do them back to back. Also, my low attack spring is not as fast as you. Anh advice?

[@SGVB22]

After going back to rise of the ronin, i definitely prefer the smoother fast combat of Nioh but i wanna unlock williams style first

[@takakun4620]

My English not good anyway, I'm sword player since the beginning, Players who's known how to use Sword really enjoyed it.

what’s is skill do you use in the minute 9.49?

I wish I could make the sword work even a quarter as good as that.

[@leonsinkovic1710]

@PooferLlama Hey, I love your vids they have been a lot of help. I was wondering what build do you personally run for a katana? Do you just focus on primary/secondary/tertiary scaling stats or do you run Dexterity and/or Magic with Change to Attack? I am gonna be making a sword character and I really wanna min/max every point, including the starting points.

What is that armor set and/or where do you obtain it!? AWESOME video, I learned SO much and it gave me a huge new respect for katanas!!!

It's the transformation "Dragon Ninja". You can get this by accessing Boons at the Shrine. It'll then be available at the Hut.

Can someone help with the sword jump move. It is L and up with X on Ps4. But I am just not getting it. Any help will be appreciated 🙏

Thanks @Pooferllama! Btw these weapons guides are the best. Every time I want to try new weapons , I look over your vids. Right I am Odachi and in between dual or single sword. Thanks for making these guides. Also thanks for keeping Nioh 2 alive with streams and stuff. I am still learning and playing it 😊

what's the input for the continuous running slash in low stance? I tried it but I always do the dodge slash. I tried holding x then pressing square for the running slash then x again for the dodge then hold x to run but when I press square, the dodge attack comes out.

Running Attack -> Dodge on Ki Pulse -> Press and Hold Dodge in order to buffer a Run -> once running is established, perform running attack

It's ironic because you could break horns even easier with high stance fists, dodge attack is not that fast but has incredibly higher range. Sword is only good for one shot builds.

[@joswasi4144]

Nah, if you think sword is just best for one shot builds you have barely used it

[@139-b7j]

@@joswasi4144 Is that the only point of your argument?

[@joswasi4144]

@@139-b7j ? If you wanna play Nioh like its a turn based RPG game then you can do so, but I like my gameplay to be fun. I've seen plenty of good sword gameplay just fine without one shot builds. One shot builds isn't really getting good at the game, though it is one way to complete the game. Videos like these are tailored more for people who want to use skill and have fun. All the things you can do in the game, I'm not going to resort to a Iai quickdraw build which would get boring fast. Best way to play the game is find your own playstyle, and get good at it. This is why Llama is so successful.
