Axe - I'm a retard who wishes this were dark souls so I had poise and could knock every enemy down with one swing. I will never learn how to ki pulse and will literally pretend any mechanics that aren't in DaS don't exist
Spear - I'm a huge coward who is willing to sacrifice damage and style for (tedious) success. I don't know why I'm playing this game but it probably has something to do with people telling me it's hard
Kusari-Gama+Ninjitsu - I'm either the worst kind of Naruto-fellating weeb or else I've been watching other people play and want to just stealth my way through most encounters. I will hit a brick wall halfway through the game when enemies start sensing you when hidden and I find I'm massively underleveled
2Kat - I wish I were playing Ninja Gaiden but the closest I'll get is this overpowered monster of a weapon. I'll post highlights on twitch of me using one move to kill a stunned boss while massively overleveled and unironically think it makes me look good at the game
1Kat - Perfect patrician and honorabu samurai who knows how to balance damage, speed, and utility and will fly through the game on sheer skill and samurai spirit
Buying Nioh makes you a ultra-weeb to begin with, so stop it.

*blocks your post with a perfectly timed counter and OHKOs you* Heh, witness the power of the katana, you lowly worm...

>Axe This isn't true at all to how I was using Axe in the demo and will be using in the actual game.
Luis White
Staff?
Hunter Torres
What your post says about OP:
He's a gigantic faggot
Evan Myers
There are only the five weapon types listed (for now)
1Kat is clearly the best thanks to kick
Owen Carter
Honorabu samurai You do not have will of the warrior
Brody Perez
The gamw doesn't even have 24 hours and there's already fucking morons who are memeing weapons.
I'll probably use 2kat just to piss off idiots like you.
Colton Campbell
Well, its a blunder that will be forgotten in a week so why not get it out of the way now?
Nathan Lewis
You'll be thanking me when I smash the bosses ki in two seconds using my manly axe. Then you can come in with your toothpick and try to keep up in damage.
Michael Cooper
>reusing old memes lel
Wyatt Powell
You realize there's been nearly a full week of time for people to play during the multiple beta tests, right?
>summoning help
Alexander Howard
You got it wrong, Papi, I'll be helping people not getting helped. Because helping others is fun.
Adam Ward
Off topic but doesn't this game feel like a ps2 tier game to anyone else? It;s so fucking that it feels like it was made in the wrong era.
Liam Carter
very well then, we must duel
You do not have will of warrior, therefore duel is already over. I win.
You want rematch? I win again!
Ayden Gomez
>doesn't this game feel like a ps2 tier game huh that's probably why I actually like it
Robert Johnson
t. generic normie who uses the same weapon as 99% of the other players
Oliver James
Yeah, it kinda does. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it so much. Think again because I fight cheap.
Kevin Anderson
you do know ninjutsu has x3+ second chance? it's broken
people shitting on spear when they don't know about how much more cheesy this is
Nolan Harris
>Ignore 4 out of the 5 melee weapon types because some faggot on Sup Forums says so
Brandon Lewis
Only in that it's very similar to games like Ninja Gaiden and Onimusha which haven't had PS4/Xbone releases
Anthony Thomas
so there is only 5 weapon types in the game eh. do we at least get more skills than the demos?
Liam Long
I'm unironically not buying this game if there are no staves. I was so excited...
David Clark
Is the chain and sickle some ninjutsu thing or is it a proper weapon category like 1kat, etc.?
Landon Rodriguez
Ehh, you're kinda a fag
Carson Rivera
its normal wep but scales most with dex so its considered in ninjutsu builds
doesn't matter that much everything soft caps so early so best builds are always spread out
Aaron Jackson
Katana + ninja magic for me
Though i am also curious to using ninja tools.
Caleb Edwards
>I had poise. But you kind of can. it's called heavy armor.
Eli Nguyen
>Niohfags like OP trying so desperately to distance their game from the Souls series
Calm down, it's alright. The devs themselves said that the Souls series was a huge source of inspiration for them when making Nioh. That doesn't mean they are the same game or that Nioh doesn't have its own merits.
I am having fun with Nioh, but I won't deny that there are similarities obviously.
Michael Gomez
Hold on a moment. Are there only 5 weapons in this game?
Mason James
yes, magic and ninjitsu are drastically expanded from the betas and skill trees have far more options
Though I think it may make things a little too easy since they moved what used to be style properties into the skill tree (you can buy dodge pulse for any stance, for example)
Matthew Cox
Yes, but many different playstyles thanks to stances. Ranged weapons help, too.
James Nelson
You forgot one thing OP
Sup Forums thread - I'm literally the biggest autist
Charles Bell
HOLY SHIT ARE YOU SERIOUS 5 FUCKING WEAPON WHAT
Colton Diaz
No, there are 5 types of weapons.
Ethan Parker
5 MOVESET SETS?
Dominic Green
5 weapon styles 3 stances per style 15 unique movesets
weapon drops are diablo-esque
Jeremiah Jenkins
No, that would be 3 per weapon.
Jacob White
Consensus? Worth 60 smackaroos?
Bentley Long
In case you're unaware, Sup Forums started as the mecca of weebs.
Fucking newfags.
Ryan Richardson

Oliver Cox
>ninja >stealth Pick one. Stealth ninjas are the worst.
James Clark
That kinda depends but I'd say no. Wait untill it's cheaper in like a week or month.
Josiah Martinez
OP started off by bashing weebs, I think the user you're replying to was telling him that if you buy this game you're already a weeb, so OP is a self loathing weeb.
Charles Rivera
magic or ninja tools?
Landon Phillips
>germany used to be mecca for nazis
Things change, usually for the better
Justin Davis
Do you like Souls games? Have you ever liked an Onimusha or Ninja Gaiden? Then yes.
Tyler Young
weeb - short for weeaboo weeaboo - a specific type of japanophile who believes everything from japan is superior regardless of what it is. Often misuses the 3 japanese words he sort of knows in conversation. Says "kawaii" instead of cute, etc.
Lurk the fuck moar
Nicholas Miller
No. You should buy For Honor for $99.99 + tip though.
Gabriel Perry
So how many weapons could you max out in a playthrough if you spread stats?
Ian Nguyen
My Amazon order is going to be very late, should I buy a copy at EB and return the sealed one when it arrives?
Nicholas Powell
>1Kat - Perfect patrician and honorabu samurai who knows how to balance damage, speed, and utility and will fly through the game on sheer skill and samurai spirit- 51 posts and 7 image replies shown. sasuga team ninja
Grayson Turner
You shouldn't buy from EB on general principle.
Tyler Cox
wont this not work with bosses that don't get stunlocked
Brody Williams
>tfw going 1kat It just feels right
Also do any of the requirements for the different armor types require more than 6-10 in a stat? Like I won't have to seriously commit to strength or anything to have some gear options, will I?
David Torres
>Game is based on the first white samurai >read up on him on wikipedia >game gets it 100% completely wrong
gay
Benjamin Turner
All of them? It's like Souls, there's no limit to the amount of times you can level up if you've got the currency.
Nathan Parker
What's wrong with Kusarigama? It has decent range, high stance deals decent damage and you can grab and bring enemies towards you or jump close to bigger foes.
Isaac Smith
So is better to offer trash weapons at a shrine or break them down latter at the blacksmith?
Brandon Brooks
There's apparently alot more to smithing so I'd say break them down. The little margarita you get from shrine offering isn't that great.
Noah Watson
>tfw just beat the vampire boss solo
After I couldn't get her past a quarter of her health the previous attempts, it feels like a complete fluke.
Also >tfw Zipangu
Chase Jones
If you're in desperate need of elixirs then give them to the shrine. Otherwise give them to the smith.
Jonathan Brown
Nothing. If anything it's OP
Landon Johnson
Since when is 2kat good?
The betas were all about spears and sickle
Angel Turner

How do you earn Samurai skill points? I know you get some threw leveling, but occasionally I get some randomly while playing.

Joseph Jones
Gonna go full Body/Onmyo Spear Genbu Tank Faction
What are you gonna do about it?
Blake Fisher
damage
Anthony Rivera
You've clearly notnplayed the game. Kusarigama ar le ridiculously overpowered. Spear is great with magic builds.
You get them for increasing familiarity with weapons. You can essentially grind skill points by constantly switching to new weapons and raising familiarity.
Landon Jenkins
Should I got 2kat+ninja or 2kat+omnyo
Caleb Miller
kusarigama + ninja
Levi Cruz
1kat/2kat is a great combo actually
Isaiah Long
any idea of the soft/hard caps yet?
Joshua Hughes
is it worth if i dont want to online??
Thomas Nelson
Why wouldn't you want to online?
Xavier Sanchez
So I'm getting the game tomorrow.
Is PS plus required? I wont do coop.
I have a normal PS4, does the game look really shitty on 60FPS mode? Is the unlocked framerate playable?
Is kusarigama + 2kat fun?
Justin Smith
can someone give me a non meme analyses of each weapon, never got a chance to play the demos
James Williams
Really shitty that they made the game even easier. It was suspicious of the high journalist ratings and my fears were true. They reduced the amount of enemies even more in the full game.
There used to be a guy behind this box in Alpha and Beta but he is gone now.
In this area here there were 2 enemies, now there is only 1. Is the same for many other areas in the level. Onis can now be staggered easier too. No wonder IGN loves it. Its casual as fuck now.
Nathaniel Smith
Money.
Ethan Sanders
It's fine then. I think you'll still get access to revenants even without PS+
Tyler Gutierrez
Oh boy, it's just like elementary school. WE'RE GOING TO PLAY NINJAS, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE A NINJA THATS WEAKER THAN ME BECAUSE I WANT TO WIN.
WAIT NO STOP HAVING FUN, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND WHATS GOING ON
Dylan Davis
1kat is for parrying and decent damage.
2kat is less damage than 1, but faster and good for crowds and staggering enemies.
Axe is slow and powerful, pretty straight forward.
Spear is for keeping some distance and good for quickly draining enemy stamina. Decent for groups, shitty in tight spaces.
Kusarigama is overpowered as fuck. Great single and groupndamage, long range with high stance, incredibly quick in in mid/low stance for stunlocking.
Ninjutsu is good for status effects and various handy tools. Buffs and debuffs.
Magic is for elemental damage and summoning your guardian to attack.
That is redundant. Kusari and 2kat fill the same roll.
Ryan Price
>have to decide between For Honor and Nioh >buy Nioh >Get For Honor instead
Son of a bitch.
Xavier Baker
60fps is better because it still looks like shit in "movie mode"
