          on the one hand it's very fiddly, poorly explained, and once you get use to it then it effectively removed the resource management of ki
          on the other hand it lets a decent player do non stop aggression which is F U N

            It depends whether you consider the systems all in totality or in isolation.
            Flux on its own is a good mechanic. Stamina bar + flux? I don't think so, in totality you just end up with a button tax. I'd have preferred if there was just no stamina mechanics and let me spend my time on the combat and enemies.
            I think the only good thing to come out of it is item canceling, and there's other ways to skin that cat.

    Now that Wo Long seems to have been more of a filler game like SoP considering its length I'm hoping that Rise of the Ronin will be proper meaty.

    How do I combo with fists? I feel like I can't completely wrap my head around building stacks and keeping them.

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      the only way to keep stacks is to build more but the more you build the faster it depletes
      try and build a skill loadout based on utility (anything with large cancel windows, Opportunist, anything that displaces your hitbox, etc.)
      here's an old webm where I was still learning how to build stacks

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        I think I remember discovering there being some kind of strange rule about Unbroken cancels that went something like this
        If the attack string you would cancel OUT OF naturally extents with the BUTTON of the skill you would cancel IN TO then it won't work.
        so an example would be: Reckless Charge -> Hold Y skill. This wouldn't work because pressing Y during Reckless Charge already does a move
        I hope I'm remembering this correctly and if someone whose played more recently or better understands fists comes by I hope they correct it if its incorrect.

      make sure you're always inputting an attack immediately after a skill, so your basic combos should always have an extra input (xyx/yxy etc).

      spam one hit actives like archers impact to stack it faster. it falls off very quick at higher stacks so 8-10 is very difficult to keep

        The Lightning debuff is the one terribly designed thing I hate about Nioh 2. No debuff should completely gut your offensive capability like that. It's so easily applied to you as well, even if you block.

        It's more difficult and Wirriam is hot.

      Elemental Tonfas. Don't need anything else. 1 for Fire 1 for Lightning 1 for Water and 1 for Corruption so someone talks to my Hiddy.

        I'm surprised I didn't think about just using the same weapons. Hmm...

          Got used to it in Monster Hunter making elemental sets. In Nioh I originally tried Tonfas and Odachi for breaks but switching weapons kinda broke the rhythm and I get confused with the controls so I started experimenting on just elemental tonfas with accumulation on charms and tempering break+ on the weapons for ez high stance breaking and there's something calming about methodically breaking enemies defending.

          In Nioh 2 I originally wanted to use the SwitchGlaive but same problem. I get confused easily.

    For me, it's claws for human enemies, and fists for yokai enemies.

    I’m about to play Nioh for the first time. Is there anything useful I should know going in that the game doesn’t make clear?

          Dash THROUGH the attack you worthless example of a gamer.

            Wait you mean like during the active frames of the attack? I don't just have to dash through the red shit?

              Yes, you need to make contact with the enemy during the dash, like how brute needs to make contact with the pimp hand. The red glow just indicates they are using a burst attack.

                I used brute for like 150 hours and I just had to smack them any time they were red. Now I have to use that cat for amrita on nijitsu and I'm trying to use the feral, and if I use it like brute it never triggered. I guess its because brute works during the wind up but feral doesn't. Thanks anons.

      Tops a tachi, bottom is an uchikatana. You can tell because the tachi has a more pronounced curvature to its hilt.

    Theoretically speaking, without completely removing it, how would you fix burst attacks and burst counters?

        It's a braindead mechanic that requires little thought on the player and is a pure reactionary test. no execution or strategy required. All you need to do is react. There is no reason to ever NOT do a BC unless you somehow have run out of yokai meter because you get so many benefits for getting it

      Make BC a property on some attacks and yokai abilities instead of a separate move.

    what's the difference between these two 1h swords??

    They have slightly different type of stats, that's it really. They're technically different sword types but share the same moveset. idk the difference between the katanas but it's more noticeable on other weapons like hammers vs axes. one does more hp damage, the other does more ki damage
