Official Nioh 2 Disc: PC & PS5 Collection launch 05 FEB 21!

Man. I've transcended. Tempered life drain Onmyo Hit AAA+ on both accessories and apparently the splitstaff counts as an onmyo hit. Also have a helm with anima charge melee attack and if I dragon dance a boss I fill my health and anima bar easily. Then hit Gozuki yokai ability for ki damage and repeat. Easy mode unlocked.
Life drain is serious weak sauce unless double-dipping so fair play; s/staff counting for Onmyo tag (did not know this) is another of many surprises that makes this title the gift that keeps on giving. I remember when I found out axe is the only WPN to have a hidden multiplier for item drop rate (think Dweller core ability) and reckoning, yeah, this game has many a diamond to mine. Toad f'd me up good, BTW. I remember his having suspect hitboxes in the original but here, he's just a beast at any range not close enough to see if he shaved that morning. Bomb build is coming along; feral Nekomata for GS is interesting here because of its Nin focus with throwing DMG tack-on as well as anima per Nin and all my Toad cores rolling for anima charge variations. You mentioned farming grace; with s/staff in mind, Tsukuyomi or what exactly?
 
Suzuka is such a looker but this had me in tears. Just over 500h myself at NG+4 and still hardly know what's going down. <Lmaoo>

Tsukuyomi is the meta now I believe but I'm using 6 piece Susano for versatility and Omnyo Austerity+ with five piece omnyo warrior gear.

Sounds like light armour -- that right? You got some crystal balls on you, caster. I junked ideas for lightweight builds during DotStrong and never looked back. Favourite LWs I did run were Head Iga and Kurama Swordmaster; I sure do miss the ki economy, admittedly.

So my weapon has life drain active skill so that may be where the regen is coming from, also my splitstaff is elemental so idk if that counts as omnyo. In any event I didnt want to pass along false info.

I tempered damage bonus equipment lightness on both my ranged weapons so it works out

Appreciate it. My fists actually have elemental DMG buffs across three nodes so I wonder if TN decided for DLC WPNs to feature this Onmyo synergy.

Smart. In kind but the other way around, I run Konaki-Jiji's core often because it rewards handsomely for weight encumbrance and I'm also clanned for the same; tempering AR for Stamina is fun too on whatnot + cannon scaling.
 
Alright 254 hours in and I'm at my endgame build. 7 piece Tsukuyomi 5 piece Omnyo Austerity + with an accessory that applies sloth to each Omnyo hit and has -1 set bonus requirement. Splitstaff has over 5k AR and armor is quite decent.
 
Set bonus applies weakness and attack down to enemies too. This is overpowered.

The Yasakani you are running, I'm assuming, that rolled for Sloth on Onmyo is pretty rare; I've only ever heard of it rolling for Nin. Very nice. Was it an organic drop or did you farm big sudama with quitout? You have though medium to poor poise, no? Redeeming would be if your Austerity set comes with Stalwart bonus on cast; can't remember that one right now.

Organic drop, I don't use the sudama

Theres a guardian spirit with Stalwart cast
 
No I'm running Baku and other corrupted damage multipliers with a corruption splitstaff for even more damage
Just looked that one up. Are you shifting a lot? I ask because of its pleiades. Not a bad spirit; clearly in the offensive camp and corrupt is dope. Killing ki is king-slayer game.

Yeah that with iPpon datara soul core is bonkers. Bosses don't even stand a chance anymore even with the bullshit healing mechanic they get in the underworld
 
Alright I've made it to floor 50 of the Underworld. Handling everything fairly easily with my build. Itsumade is still a gigantic piece of shit, especially the cursed, healing variant.

Polly want a cracker? Lol Bad Bird is rough; they made his kit all over the place, IMO, and his poise reminds me of Karasu Tengu. I remember his materialising from a Yokai cloud before the final gate to Nightmare Bringer on A Distant Dream and thinking, WTF is this... *backpedals He proved Cursed to be miniboss-calibre and that was only on DotD; hadn't ever fought him on the DotW. Arguably one the coolest cores in aesthetic and AoE DMG, iiirc. Congrats on your U/world successes, bud.
 
Ok at floor 62 and the cheapness is getting obvious. Everything hits impossibly hard and you basically gotta kill before getting killed.
