I seriously hope there’s a Nioh 3, I will continue to play these games as long as they keep coming out. Hopefully they update the game engine and graphics for the next one tho Team Ninja has something special here and I think they should keep cranking these out until more souls fans and samurai/ninja rpg fans start catching onto its awesome combat system
the game reminds of onimusha. 1st game you play as a human and 2nd game you play as half yokai. you beat demons and take souls to level. some bosses are also hit like a truck if not careful.
I watched both the stream vods of you making this build and was just in disbelief the whole time, since I basically went through an identical process a few days ago. Tried Kingo, tried Isanagami with water, ended up with Yatagarasu + Master Swordsman + Tengen. In the end my build ended up being like 90% the same as you did. I found myself going "yeah, that's exactly what I thought too!" constantly throughout the stream vods. Makes me feel good to see that my own buildcrafting has evolved to a level where my logic flows in a similar way to yours. I ended up going lightning to slow down enemies for easier Iai Quickdraw hits. You've taught me a ton about Nioh 2 and can't wait for more videos and streams, keep up the good work!
Quick question, how did you manage to have Iai QuickDraw on all of the sets , I tried Tempering, it didn’t work, I tried to farm revenants I had no luck to find a piece with inherentable Iai QuickDraw, any advice will be helpful.
Dude, thank you. I know I’m late to the Nioh 2 party here. But I’d be unable to get the most out of Nioh and Souls like games without your channel. I got platinum on Sekiro bc of your vids. You’re the best man!
Cheers for the Video - lvl 180 at the min and dont have everything that you do in the video but have most or lower lvl versions of what you do and had to mid/max my builds and temper a few to get it at a sweet spot. Without you’re video I dont think I would have made a decent armour and attack set. Thanks again
I had always pegged sword being a boring weapon, never really liked it that much in the first nioh but this video really shows how versatile it can be and I'll definitely be trying it out when I get to new game plus
For any questions about inheritables: You can join the Nioh 2 discord and discuss it with people and they should have what you need, you also need max familiarity on the piece you are transferring the Inheritables from.
@@guynamedalex7370 this is my point what is the is benefit?? revenants are everywhere in the game no difference between normal revenants and discord except for skill damage
Is there an updated one for the new DLC? I haven't figured what weapon I wanna use between sword and dual sword yet. But can't decide because there's not enough updated new builds.
Thanks for this vid. I took inspiration from it and crafted an Atagi Sadamune with the same effects you got. But instead of this swordsman set, I am going with Justice Ministry set which gives 9% melee damage for 5 pcs with Yasakani, which is higher than the attack and defense + 50 you get with your set. Added Atagi for the 100 life bonus and a great kanemitsu as 2nd weapon for Onmyo austerity.
Build looks great i was following on the livestream i roll with the gallant + master swordsman and use night rain as my main active instead of quickdraw for me it gets off faster and seems to do more cumulative damage because of the notes i got from your ninja build
Best channel ever! What is that chest piece refashioned with? I went through all the sets and couldn't find it. Outstanding work with the builds Cowboy, many thanks!
Is there a particular reason why Cowboy always uses Ryomen as an example boss? Like does it have crazy defenses, or is it the fact that there's no "back" to it?
Dark omen mission is filled with lai quickdraw inheritable I managed to get 20+ of it cuz I was looking for orange attack inheritable and got it in the end..
Iai Quickdraw is one of the most common skill inheritables you can get off revanants. I have a lot of luck with revanants at the start of The Warrior in Dawn region (ng+ obviously). Look for graves with armor missing.
So like i want to use lighting element with this build what would i need to replace? Because u said u can change tye head pice if u are using poison what about lightning
I'm on last region and there's no inheritables on any piece of armour only weapons is there a reason for this or do I have to wait till new game for inheritables on armour pieces?
A handy idea for the helmet buff would be to quick slot some yokai water pots to toss if you ever want to get that buff going right before a fight and you dont have a yokai pool available. Also, I have to go farm that lesser umi bozu soul core so I'm running the water Oni Bi for now. The anima bonus on elemental attack its giving me on top of it helping proc saturation (not as good as the Umi water shot though) is pretty bananas. Did you happen to give the oni bi a try first so I can get some advice on which you think is better in the long run between the two?
how are you able to have 6 temperable perks on bizen kageyasu i only have 4 non-set perks with 1 being a white inheritable and only the other 3 are temperable
What are the odds of the iai quickdraw inheritables? Because I have spent hours just forging and reloading saves trying to get it to no luck. And trying to farm revenants isn't helping either cause i go to what people claim are popular revenant spots and I am lucky If I find 1 revenant throughout the entire mission let alone multiple with useful gear.
So quick question I’m making a katana build and I’m kinda stuck on what I should dump my stats into. Like I wanna use light armor but I ain’t tryna get one shotted and I wanna use medium armor but I don’t know how much points I need to put into strength(if that’s the right stat)
Hey cowboy question for you and anyone else. Can we and if so how do we make the power from the soul cores stronger? Like Enera’s tornado to wipe out enemies? Thought and help please
Damnation_VII thanks. I leveled him up and have yokai damage ability on him also. Was wondering if Bare-handed attack damage helps and scales with his tornadoes
Sorry but what is this orange inheritable everyone's been mentioning? Ik it benefits to your build somehow and it comes from farming revenants (as from what I've heard
I dont know whats up with my game but i have life drain melee attack 22 (20 at 0 familiarity). Melee ki damage 8.9% base and 11.9% max fam. And there are couple other differences too. Maybe europe release of the game is a bit different?

This is my go to channel for Nioh, Dark Souls and similar games. Fightincowboy gives the best in depth instructions on these games.
He's responsive too. Each time I've given feedback or thoughts on builds, he's responded back with sensible agreements/disagreements.

Awesome build brother. Nice to see a more unique Katana build.
New to the channel. New to Nioh2. Started this past Monday. You've helped me alot. I'm currently farming Formal Match for Amrita.

slashing right between an opponents attack is the satisfying thing in this game don’t @ me

LMFAOOOO bro I’m looking at it like??? It must have been a bug because in order for him to have 5 sets on he’s gotta also have the robe on

Trident vajra helm combined with barrier talisman is what triggers the buff
