Nioh 2 仁王 2 | Making Endgame Builds

[@fluffyfeetbmf]

I just found this game, and I know it’s not a thing anymore, but it is my thing right now. Thanks for the great video.

[@PooferLlama]

You're welcome! I find Nioh 2 to still be quite enjoyable after many many hours :)

[@80sNinjas]

Says who? I’m new and lovin it! Who cares if it’s a thing? I play Sega and Nintendo games, why would Nioh be any different?

[@stolensentience]

it’s… still a thing

[@chrishastings7583]

Still playing..

im taking suiki

[@DrellKing]

I'm more impressed by the way moves with that spear. I love spear but I always struggle when fighting Yokais.

[@agreydawn9740]

I love all the interesting stuff I get to see in these sorts of videos (And I obviously do not mean your jokes.) There's so many inventive ideas, and innovative people, in Nioh.

[@rbFrosty]

that yokai shift build is nuts (0_0)

[@immovablewisdom6129]

Thanks to you and Kagerasimaru for the grapple anima bonus idea. It works wonders.

[@Dtzeo503]

Yeah it's something i would build if i want to be in yokai shift forever. Which i don't usually do. I like using the weapons.

[@ManiZach]

@@Dtzeo503 Thats the thing though, you can run a yokai shift build with versatility too. Its a bit more resource heavy, but its definately possible. Having a weapon on hand for when you want to do more Ki damage during yokai shift? Go splitstaff, Versatility +X, and youre in a shift thats more KI based, go claws, katana or whatever, Versatility +X and voila, youre now in damage mode. Essentially, youre just adding Yokai weapons into your build.

Shout out to Ocean Machine! MVP! And he's super helpful and nice in the Discord group!

[@massivebrosive]

I'm gonna need to watch this a couple times, keep getting too mesmerized by the combos being shown off

[@QRD88]

here is one build Im trying to optimize: 2 pcs dreaming demon 2 pcs khoku master 5-6 susano. one gear slot can be empty to achieve a agility without grinding, or you can grind your ass out and get weight reduction. but still you can have dodge range up when in b agility and equip set sword or/and dual sword to get a agility. you can get mystic diad all/etra health/ extra luck etc with remaning slots.very good anima regen and good damage. even more equip water kuzuryu weapons for more anima.

[@shane2863]

"anyone can do it" Guy proceeds to get hit like negative 7 times. If you're that good, your build really doesn't matter.

[@misterq3409]

I love when you do this

[@Dtzeo503]

I honestly didn't know people are mixing divine and ethereal graces together.

[@rbFrosty]

benzaiten and susano are basically interchangable as both offer the versatility effect as the 6pc bonus. use whichever you prefer. its really neat though that such a powerful bonus is available as soon as you unlock Dream of the Demon though, and that it can carry all the way through Dream of the Nioh. such a great effect.

[@Dtzeo503]

Yeah i love the versatility effect. Since i like using multiple different weapons it works out for me and it's powerful.

[@brotherhoodpaladin6420]

Versatility is so fun

[@sintheemptyone8108]

Eh, I didn't run Benzaiten on my Kagu Night Rain build simply because I preferred to go after Kagu's & Red Demon's Scorch bonuses. I did get some use out of Inari however.

[@nmquoc89]

Thanks for great video, it saves our time

[@iamergoproxy3476]

I wish I saw this before getting back into nioh 2

[@ricardodarcangelo2437]

What was that grace you mentioned with child of the sun? Don't think I've seen that one yet

[@yhzh2002]

Sukunahikona's Grace. It's not available as dropped loot. You can only get it by big sudama rerolling.

[@ruairidhkoch7875]

Do nioh 2 armor perks/ stack? Example: lets say I have 1x 50 dual blade damage on each piece of armor. Do now get 5x 50 dmg dual blade damage or only once?

[@PooferLlama]

you do but it's not that valuable imho

[@ManiZach]

As for the YS build, weapons do matter. As they pre-determine the output. So, Splitstaff, hands etc, does about... 20% less damage, but more KI. Claws, sword and such doesnt get this penalty/bonus (depends how you look at it?)

[@PooferLlama]

Yeah it's a matter of striking versus slashing weapons. one of those weird hidden mechanics.

[@ManiZach]

@@PooferLlama Also applies to wooden weapons, to anyone interested in building with YS. Though, not sure why youd use wooden weapons apart from early game prof, or getting the last few points late game

[@PooferLlama]

@@ManiZach wooden weapons have that sweet thwack sound tho

[@stolensentience]

@@PooferLlamawait what? you mean fists and claws are different? and what’s this affect? YS attacks?

[@veizenhar7405]

yokai shift, shifted to an ethereal level. wth. i liked it a lot

[@msolom9521]

Thx for the link friend

[@hamatoshamatos7048]

amazing

[@Xjesus14X]

I got a soul core box but it doesnt have the plus factor. Do i have to penance it to get the plus?

[@PooferLlama]

Yuuuuuuup. It's the only way to upgrade the plus values for accessories.

[@Xjesus14X]

@@PooferLlama thank u. I’m still tryna get good like u

[@DaCritikquee]

I copied the yokai shift build but my guage is going down quite a bit faster then his when in YS, did i miss something?

[@PooferLlama]

You might be lacking certain Shiftling passives. The ones that reduce your gauge consumption make a MASSIVE difference. Also, reducing ki consumption in general seems to greatly benefit Yokai Shift as well.

[@DaCritikquee]

@@PooferLlama Thanks for the reply man, yea i've been playing around with it and it wasn't as bad as I thought, but also not as good as his, but clearly his build is fully optimized. Nonetheless having a lot of fun with it just gotta practice, thanks for providing the content!

[@sniff8739]

I know it's at least a year late(prob more), I apologize. That said great vid bro and great work by the ol lady too! (No disrespect. That's what we call wives in TN) I noticed looking in the description.

[@stolensentience]

you work at team ninja!?

[@brayachdragonbane7529]

now imagine that build with the feral mastery art

[@stolensentience]

what is feral mastery art?

[@climbhazzard126]

Just wanna clarify: When you say 7pc Ninigi's/6pc Futsunushi are you implying that you can have both full grace sets equipped at the same time?

[@PooferLlama]

you can get a 7 piece bonus of one grace set AND another 6 piece bonus.

[@climbhazzard126]

@@PooferLlama Well damn. I've been going bout it wrong this entire time. Thanks!

[@UnbiasedMagicReviews]

Has this Critical YS build been nerfed yet?

[@PooferLlama]

Not to my knowledge.

[@Angels-Haven]

I'm totally copying that omnistyle build, I just got way of the demon unlocked and can forge benzaiten gear, do you have any tips or advice?

[@PooferLlama]

Advice in regards to what specifically?

[@Angels-Haven]

@@PooferLlama if it's a good set to be using at the point I'm at and what to do to make things easier on myself, like what gear to look out for and any kind of particluar thing I should be doing in regards to what to farm

[@PooferLlama]

Well with Benzaiten's grace, you'll be able to plow thru most things because of the damage boost Versatility provides. Beyond that, you can pretty much work with whatever you see fit and clear content at a good pace. Farming isn't really necessary because you can forge whatever you need. In addition, most gear will likely be replaced by the options that become available on Wise/Nioh.

[@Angels-Haven]

@@PooferLlama so would you recommend rushing otakemaru down and going as fast as possible to dream of the wise or taking my time and levelling up my gear accordingly?

[@PooferLlama]

@@Angels-Haven up to you. do whatever you find fun.

[@KillChaos7]

Please dont nerf Blood of Youkai TN, I beg you! this is the only one way to make the true Youkai Shift attack build

[@stolensentience]

yes just nerf ippon! jk idc

[@lengskeng3831]

this still good?

[@PooferLlama]

Yup, it still works.

[@XonixDerps]

I wonder if its possible to do this build earlier or is it purely endgame?? ( I only ask because I always thought it was a shame the forms were shown so much and like... you barely really use em?) Kindal ike TN was afraid to create living weapon again... which this build basically said nah fam take this yokai shift lmao

[@PooferLlama]

These are mostly endgame builds. You can probably get some of framework for Omnistyle by Dream of the Demon.

[@Bilbiotheque]

How is this even possible to reach those stats, It was a pain in the ass to just try to get 7 pieces of saru's grace et 4 pieces of the other grace you show, for the yokai shit build. I've got absolutely no critical sub stats, no Anima substat. Temper is the most useless thing I never see in a video game ever... I've been trying to make that build for weeks

[@PooferLlama]

Many of those stats are pure luxury. The backbone of the build is Sarutahiko's and Magatsuhi's Grace with Janomecho/Amabie. The rest you can get over time. Immovablewisdom6 was simply showcasing the build on +9 ...which I personally find crazy. I'm sure your setup alone could handle the rest of the game.

[@Bilbiotheque]

@@PooferLlama OK so what did I miss, why my yokai shift is so short? Even if I don't get hit? And I don't generate Anima this fast either. I think without good sub stats the build is quite weak... Or I completely missed something. Thanks for your answer.

[@PooferLlama]

I can't deduce the exact reason as to why you're having a short yokai shift. Could be how your Shiftling tree is filled out or it could be that you aren't at 5 stacks of Blood of the Yokai. If you wanted a more pointed response, then I'd recommend joining the discord and many others can help you out with your build.

[@Bilbiotheque]

@@PooferLlama I changed my build, but thanks you!!

[@michaelo.1320]

lmao why are you saying "plus" between 6 and piece. Just say "unifier of the warring states plus" that's how it's written in the game after all

[@PooferLlama]

cuz i only function with one brain cell :)
