Nioh 2 | Fuma Ninja (STRONGEST Early Game Build) [Build Guide] 仁王2

[@PWARGaming]

Give the video a LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! My Wo Long Review --> [ kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZaveKGZidKcpJo ] Minmaxing the early game like a nerd~ Due note, I have finally tested Flying Kato set (dojo ninja veteran mission) and can confirm it to be a straight upgrade. So from new game you should go shinobi>fuma>kato(region 4) in that order. Same exact rules in the video apply, it's just you'll have to wait till ng+ or divine gear to inherit kuna % dmg onto kato armor.

[@daddydepression6854]

TBH I cleared NG with outdated gear and just gettinga good switch glaive every mission and spamming points into magic. Kunai build seems REALLY strong tho. nice build

Where do you get the Writing Set accessories?

Speaking of Kato, did you manage to get the smithing text? I've farmed it like crazy and didn't get it

[@tohlijing3286]

I waiting flying Kato set build

[@Luftgitarrenprofi]

For anyone coming here after the game being free on playstation: This still works pretty much exactly the same way. It's still the one of the if not the strongest NG build out there (there's a reason why there are featherless speedruns). Humans now tend to block after 3 kunai hits, but you can still throw 3, then attack in some other way and throw 3 again. It's as ridiciulous against yokai as it's always been and feathers which you will usually unlock around level 30-50 if you use ninjutsu alot early still destroy.

[@faresfares-ultra]

Hi new nioh 2 players I have some questions like didn't they nerf ninjutsu like most other comments says also is there alternative build for new players who don't wont use ninjutsu?

[@samuryebread1065]

Is it really still as strong? Also any tips? Do you switch armours and at what point?

[@PSN_MICKSTA]

Yeah you go from the shinobi the fuma set then the Katie ninja set when it unlocks I think region 3

Finally after a dozen plus build guides this is something I or any beginner just starting the game can do! Seriously every build guide you see a gamer kill bosses within seconds while having over 10 items activated or thrown at enemy at once...then they go in and within seconds the boss dies. Then when they go to character screen they are like level 160 plus! They also have such rare unique builds or armor too and I am like these videos don't help anyone but maybe 1% of the gamers out there! Like how long it takes to even get where these guys are?! They are over 100 plus hours into the game! Yet its presented as if it's easy and new, won't take to to long...lol. It's annoying and discouraging to see all these build guides knowing no way I'll ever reach or find what they found etc...also catch 22! Honestly buy then if I reach level 160 or higher I'll be done with the game! These are endgame builds that have no use for beginners. More for ng plus.. which I never do. Don't have the time anymore to invest such a long drawn out gaming adventure. I want something for early game that I can try out to get into the flow of the game better.

Pretty much the build I have gone with except havent used much magic so have to try and get that up to unlock weakness talisman. I have found the poison kunai very helpful as well. The build really seems to hit its stride 2nd half of 2nd section at least for me only problem is if you do get hit it really hurts lol but im finding it fun being a glass cannon. Didnt have a build or any idea in Nioh 1 until end game (then searched for builds and found this channel) so scoped out some ideas in beta and went with Ninja this time.

[@zhaf]

Did you forget? Inherited stats for armor appears first on divine gear. Kunai scales with thrust damage. So rule of trusting from sword of spear also scale with Kunai. Gloves can temper Kunai damage 12.9%. So unless you can get Kunai damage again on fuma gloves. Shinobi gloves is best since ninja power is higher than you can temper on to it. Damnit I learned these things from you! I miss the bat :(

[@CrashBashL]

Are You sure it also apply to Kunai? Cause it says: "when you have a sword equiped". And we don't.

[@zhaf]

@@CrashBashL Yes I've tested. Rule of thrusting does improve Kunai damage when you're using a sword/spear.

[@PWARGaming]

i did forget yes, it's been a long time since i touched the build side of nioh...like...3 years lol I mentioned spear for thrust damage when i brought up backstab damage in kusa tree, forgot sword had it tho. shinobi won't be best even knowing inheritables exist now, there's better options than it for endgame for sure, so early game, where you can't get inheritables, where this video/build is supposed to be best at, fuma still best.

As I do love Fromsoftware, I swear they missed out on these features for Sekiro, which is why I stop after my seventh walkthrough.

I gravitated to this build simply because I thought Kusarigama looked fun to use. I do still die plenty, and wouldn't say it has ruined my NG play through. Having tons of fun.

Make a build using melee damage when critical + 40%~ melee damage when enemy is poisoned from accessories. Theres a really good set for "when critical". Combined with poison shuriken and protection talisman for invincibility. Use fire pots to burn yourself until critical. Get all critical nodes on the tree. Watch the numbers fly it's pretty nutty.

This game is HARD for me! And I’ve beaten all the dark souls and bloodbourne. As a result, I’m running a fuma build at around level 40 and STILL find this game difficult. Seriously, this game is no joke.

[@franky_saint]

I suck at Bloodborne, am okay at Dark Souls and find Nioh 2 way easier than those games. May just be a difference in niche.

[@obabas80]

FrankySaint Really?? I found Bloodborne to be the PERFECT mix of difficulty for me. Just hard enough. Nioh 2 seems at least twice as hard as bloodborne to me. I fear EVERY single Yokai encounter....even after learning their patterns!! Very interesting....

[@franky_saint]

@@obabas80 Soulsborne titles feel stiff for me because I grew up on hack-n-slash action games like God of War and Ninja Gaiden. For me, Nioh is just another Ninja Gaiden with RPG stats and a stamina bar. It really all comes down to what mechanics you're used to.

PWAR coming in strong out the gate, even if he had to put on pants for this video. I've been progressing with a setup designed for building up Anima as fast as possible and stomping enemies with Yokai abilities. So far it's been pretty good. Doesn't put up the same numbers as this, no way, but I'm also not using any consumables to keep it running and can trounce any encounter I come across if I lean into the build. It's been a lot of fun.

especially for some weapons. they nerfed dmg across the board because of the added burst counter and yokai skill mechanic, so you have to resort to something like this or high dmg % from paralysis/poison to actually do "good" damage.

[@kyles6813]

I haven't had an issue. I spent the $100 however on the Delux and Season pass. So I got the bonus sets. Wore them one was heavy then other light. Simply went with weps I knew (Axe Odachi) when it doubt tank and spank. Even more so since if you can time your attacks well they do massive ki damage. Just Ki puls that stam bar back like a boss. However it's been slow going. Only secound reagon almost third. So this looks exciting cant wait to try it out.

Only 2 to 3 shots and a powerful enemy can get burned/broken/slowed which makes it not much of a threat. I struggle a bit with bosses, but it's been fun for me so far. I'm at the third chapter too.

I've been having an incredibly easy time with tonfas. basically, i just get all my stats and poor them into courage, with some in magic and hp. Get the heaviest armor possible and just put enough stamina to make sure it doesn't go over 100% Then get all your gear to have guarding reduced ki and shit tons of defense and toughness. See and enemy? just hold down block and never ever hit that dodge button again. Once they run out of ki or dont attack, just hit em with a strong attack combo, ki pulse, then go back to blocking, assuming they aren't downed. Enemy bursts don't even need to get blocked as they barely do 1/5th of your health, but still try to mess up their ki, if you miss though no real worry, and draining ki from your enemies to perform constant downed attacks is the tonfa MO. High block, high break, a super tank that never needs to dodge. Get brute counter cause even if you don't time it right and take some damage, so will the enemy and their burst and ki will get ruined regardless. Definitely the easiest build in the game by far. Have only died a handful of times, mostly just from me being a moron, I'm halfway through the game, no real grinding needed, and this is my first souls like game I've ever played, and this build can support noobs like me super well. For magic just get and max barrier, and then get and max purification, then a few elemental boosts against bosses you're struggling with. Its basically just to help kill yokai as its kinda slow, but tonfas make fighting any human opponent a fucking joke
