TN does this in every game and they’ve become something of legend. In past games, you would literally just walk off a plank into the water because boards being submerged or not on-off meant terra firma + dim lighting.
Yeah it's like they forgot that was a pitfall of the Nioh games.
NG+ is kind of ridiculous in this, TBH. It's heavy garb or nothing and can be two-shotted or spirit-zapped in a single strike at SL 150. Silly. 5-star drops are nice but coming expansion gear and set bonuses will outperform what we have now so was hard to commit after NG (for me). The one thing I did in NG+ that I think helpful for DLCs is I farmed 4/5-star Entertainer set chest and footwear because it's the only armor set in-game I'd found that allows for Luck spec on those two pieces. If interested, I did this by farming Part 4's sub-battlefield Fate of the Entertainer; run it over and over.
Never played Nioh but it is definitely with it. Its a great game. The boss fights are well done.
I had no trouble with him. Since ive reached level 60 I've felt invincible.
Hard fight above or below recommended, TBH. A lot of chasing. Congrats on almost putting him down; you’ll get it. What WPN class did you ultimately main?
NG+ not fun like Niohs. Felt gimped with the morale handicap and DMG balancing plus lacks incentive outside 5-star drops. Don’t write off expansions yet though. You know Team Ninja does DLC well.
I've been using dual bronze swords almost the entire game. Fully loaded my Earth stats.
Earth in general is a high ROI stat, IMO. Smart. I have a soft spot for proc builds so I flirted with Metal for toxicity more than once in NG. The way this game teaches you to cast counter-elements (or how the five phases work rather) is not clear but I do like the system they have in place once it's picked up. I don't think (a) has any elemental counters on the note; his wizardry is all over the place. Cold steel is the way.
