UPDATE!: Critical (Gambit Pill) has been changed to prevent healing back to 30% HP after taking damage. Still viable, but pure glass cannon now. Gozuki has been nerfed beyond the point of justifying it's use, so Ippon is finally, officially the better option. Sword, Dual Swords and Odachi have received critical health bonuses in their skill trees. Other than all that, everything else in the video remains unchanged. TLDR: Use Ippon instead of Gozuki and only play critical (gambit) if you have 0 intention of getting hit. Discord: discord.gg/GS7C27G
I still see people run around with gambit pill without taking damage, it's taking damage that reduces your max hp, doesn't matter if you get hit or not. With enough elemental resistance, Empowered Onmyo and Uesugi clan, you are able to stay at 30% infinitely without a problem. Team Ninja's half-assed nerf is stupid as fk, gambit pill should have been nerfed to reduce your hp when you get hit, not when you take damage.
Yes welcome back I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your builds and the detail it really changes my day around to to go back to the drawing board and start all over with your fresh idea. It may not mean much to others but to us it means a lot . We respect your time and effort . Be safe and thank you so much
Finally been waiting for u to make a build and thank u very much for using spear every youtuber build is around ss or fist&claws or swag glave Seeing u using spear makes me happy Time to start the grind to make this build :) Keep up the good work and ill be waiting for ur next build i know we wont be disappointed 😃
If you guys are coming to this video late like me I want you to know THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STILL THE BEST BUILD IN THE GAME. With all the damage taken critical and a protection talisman along with dual swords defense you are literally indestructible lol
Man. Why can’t team ninja give us at least vs purified and vs zero ki at 10%. Tempered. Give us something to tempered on accessories. They’re so insanely frustrating. Grrrr
Nice build man, but I'm a skill player, so I'm far more interested in your advanced combat videos. All I ever see is build this, build that... it's only out of curiosity at this point, since I don't really use anything powerful. Being op is just boring after 2-3 playthroughs, and you're one of the best skill players, and definitely THE best at explaining technical play. I'm sure there are others that would love to improve technical abilities with your guidance, though I get that skill players are probably a vast minority on nioh 2. Always love your content though regardless, it would be nice if you did one last advanced or technical guide, but it's not a big deal. Hope you stay well and stay safe
Thanks for the comment. I feel like I've let guys like you down a bit so sorry for that. It more came down to time. I had to make these kinds of videos cuz that's what most people wanted and in the end never really had much time to make the content I actually prefer making (skill-based content). Those types of videos never really performed well, but, I can promise that any videos I make from here on out will place more emphasis on skill and tech-play. It's more just a question of how much more time I'll be playing Nioh 2
Hey man, glad to see you're still making Nioh 2 guides. I put the game down for a while and just recently came back to it. I just finished my first play through and started the first DLC and way of the strong but I'm having a hard time putting a dual sword build together that's fun to play. Everything I come up with feels weak, and after Nioh 1 where you could at least inherit Attack onto all armor pieces, I'm finding the second playthrough of Nioh 2 somewhat of a let down. I don't have a yasakani magatama yet either. At level 155, any recommendations for a dual sword set up to power through to the higher levels? Keep up the great work!
I'm also curious about this! When he mentioned in his video all the farming methods available now in Dream of the Nioh, wasn't sure exactly what was meant.
There are plently of good sword builds, however if by strong you mean mealt a boss in 5 seconds so you dont have to play the game and no need for any skill what so ever then its never going to happen.
@Warren Shredder!! You seem to have issues with the game then dont play, there is skill in beating the game without stacking buffs to the end of time and melt bosses in 5 seconds.
@Warren Shredder!! Turbo virgin? what are you 12? Yes ive made it far in the game ive finished it and have over 1100 hours in the game. You are litterally dead wrong and stupid, but hey room for everyone. I do not have an issue you are projecting, all i said is you can play without buffs and actually have skill. Also im done here i don´t like talking to people that only can throw isults and be judgemental.
Probably a dumb question... I got the platinum before all the dlcs came out so I haven’t played in quiet awhile. I’m going through Dream of the strong and was wondering do I need to complete EVERY mission to make it to demon or just the story missions? Thanks.
Do random sub missions until you unlock afterglow for each difficulty. Then you have to do the final story mission to unlock the next difficulty. Rinse and repeat until you hit dream of nioh
This may have been one of the stupidest questions I've asked given how far I am into the game, but how do u put on the damage boosts based on how high a certain level is? I've looked everywhere in the skill customisation but can't find it
Can someone explain why ippon is better than gozuki? Why the OP saying gozuki got nerfed to the point its no longer better than ippon? From my testing gozuki does more dmg and the animation is longer so its safer to use to avoid delayed grab animations. Thank you in advance
Gozuki still performs great as an action, but it costs far too much Anima now (as well as it's ki damage being nerfed, which was one of it's strongest assets) to be viable as a main combo tool, especially compared to Ippon. Whilst Ippon lacks the range and mobility utility of Gozuki, Ippon is cheaper, faster and applies guaranteed stagger which is ideal for combo synergy and defensive/offensive utility.
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm pretty new to the NG+ stuff in this game. Is there a way to manage scrolls, such as sell the ones you don't want or scrap them somehow? I can't imagine a pile of 132 scrolls will be worth anything later on.
You're probably not doing anything wrong. Depths 11+ is stupid. Most people have stopped playing Depths as there is no point to it beyond farming the new tank grace.
@@Xenoswarm That makes a lot of sense. Tried this build in depths 1-5 and it works perfectly. So do the other build videos out there. But i got my rear end handed to me when i tried to do this to Doji in Depth 26.
so i was playing with someone last night who was using a critcal build but i swear to god they didnt take any damage when hit and i wanted to say they were cheating but i'd like a second opinion first.
Doesn't work for me tbh, tested it extensively. I found if you get hit with Monk's Hood, it pretty much drains your entire Ki bar and winds you. Even when Bosses spawn in, and you get hit by that little stagger, that completely winds my character from max Ki to 0. Not sure if a bug, but it really sucks
@@Xenoswarm the boss spawn is surely buggy and broken. I was forced out of my yokai shift grapple (which should have ) when Mezu appeared next to me :D
Hardly a critical build to be honest if you rely on status imbues ( such as purity, confusion etc. ) to deal your damage. I am currently testing Moonprayer set but the damage so far combined with another set is not impressive.... Im beginning to think that Nioh doesn't really have variety. Its all about status / jutsu spam or Ki destruction. Late game build are pretty much that. I wanted to make PURE melee Critical build but its been a headache since "diminishing" returns in this game are pretty harsh. No wonder you had to diversify where your damage is coming from
The best way to farm Onryoki soul core is with scrolls. If you don't have the scroll with Onryoki and Magara, you will have to co-op with someone a few times and wait for the scroll to drop. Search for scroll rooms for the one with Onryoki and Magara, so you can go it as well. Once u get it, you just have to go in, kill Onryoki and let you kill by Magara again and again, and you will have 30+ or more by hour, depending on how fast you kill Onryoki. But very important to don't forget before collect and go out to kill Magara in your last try. Or every soul core will be lost. And for the gear, you have to temper both accesories with luck on equipment, weapon and accesories and wear everything you want to drop even if they are not ethereal, or the grace you want. So eventually will get it. And if you already done Underworld, well, is simple by co-op scroll of the damned with the special rule of the grace you want.

Project Xeno has arrived xD
Would you still recommend Governor Armor and -Damage Taken stats for the build or go full damage?
I wish they wouldn't kill off all the crazy fun builds before the game even launches on pc. No time to use the fun stuff at its prime.
I still see people run around with gambit pill without taking damage, it's taking damage that reduces your max hp, doesn't matter if you get hit or not. With enough elemental resistance, Empowered Onmyo and Uesugi clan, you are able to stay at 30% infinitely without a problem.

Hell yes, I’ve been eagerly awaiting your endgame builds! Thanks for the video.

It may not mean much to others but to us it means a lot . We respect your time and effort . Be safe and thank you so much
Welcome back man, your builds were always my favorite
stellar work as always Xeno ⚡️
OooooooooMG finally 😍😍😍😍😍
I am soooooo happy now
Dopest builds on YT! Keep pushing em bro!
Welcome back! Your content is always super high quality. Thank you so much for the time you put into this!
your videos are/commentary is amazing. been playing nioh 1000+ hrs n have still just learnt so much from watching, nice one.
Watching you use that Spear in the intro fights, it reminded of Nioh abyss LW builds. Very beautiful and amazing to watch, thank you!
Finally been waiting for u to make a build and thank u very much for using spear every youtuber build is around ss or fist&claws or swag glave
Seeing u using spear makes me happy
Time to start the grind to make this build :)
Keep up the good work and ill be waiting for ur next build i know we wont be disappointed 😃

it broke my heart to see the title (nerfed) in this video 😭😭😭😭
You always do crazy op builds well done.
so after the patch, it becomes "close-range" "pure glass cannon" , what a wonderful build isn't it ?
Will this build work in the PC version>?
yes but will need to be end-game Dream of the Nioh
Liked the Shinra Tensei in there. :)
Nice Video!!!
Can U maybe make a about your 10 fav mhw layered Armor combis?
Man. Why can’t team ninja give us at least vs purified and vs zero ki at 10%. Tempered. Give us something to tempered on accessories. They’re so insanely frustrating. Grrrr
Do you know of any way to obtain Governor armor other than lucky drop?

Whats the background music that you have playing?
What music is that in the background?
Welcome back bro
Hint: try "Desperate strike" skill customization with critical build
Nice build! I also had the same thoughts, but it is so hard to farm :D
could You let me know the datails of the spear?
Question... when farming the gear did you use the same method as your Dream of the Wise
I'm also curious about this! When he mentioned in his video all the farming methods available now in Dream of the Nioh, wasn't sure exactly what was meant.
Really strong build. If I get the time to farm I'll be making it myself. I need to ask... would a Ninigi and Marici grace build be worth it?
probably a dumb question but why not grapple in co-op?
Was waiting for a strong sword build for DotN

@Warren Shredder!! You seem to have issues with the game then dont play, there is skill in beating the game without stacking buffs to the end of time and melt bosses in 5 seconds.
@Warren Shredder!! Whatever you gotta tell yourself to feel better about yourself, and needing to rely stacking as many buffs as possible.

I'm honestly always astonished by builds like these because my build consists of: it's my extraction talisman active? Ok, let's go kill those enemies
I fancy nightmare bringer the confusing proc is legit 9/10 and when use it on downed humans the stay down so u can just wreck human Bosses
Nice one. Tried to make a draw build yet? Curious about that one
we're I can farm this build?
Best place to farm governor armor?

Sweet thank you.
This may have been one of the stupidest questions I've asked given how far I am into the game, but how do u put on the damage boosts based on how high a certain level is? I've looked everywhere in the skill customisation but can't find it
do you mean like at 27:07 ? you go into the active skills list and press square on the active skill you want to apply a modifier to
@@mcscorn bruh thank you a lot

Monster hunter rise time baby!
Someone confirm me if this build is still as powerful and profitable in depths?
Oh hey the video finished rendering, noice

If you wanna get rid of them just go to a mission and drop them all
@@IDKbruh420 Oh, that's it? I can't sell them or anything?
@@MozzyTheMoose you can destroy them but it won't give you anything, fastest way to get rid of trash scrolls is droping them in a mission
@@IDKbruh420 ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. The UI has a tendency to hide things sometimes. Thank you.
@@MozzyTheMoose yeah np
I farmed and copied this build as much as i could but I am not getting favorable results in depths 11+. Not sure what i am doing wrong.
You're probably not doing anything wrong. Depths 11+ is stupid. Most people have stopped playing Depths as there is no point to it beyond farming the new tank grace.

So, are Critical health builds the only way to play/farm endgame in a viable way?
@Warren Shredder!! Thats good to know. I hate it when endgame is revolved around only a build type.
how is your armor black?
so i was playing with someone last night who was using a critcal build but i swear to god they didnt take any damage when hit and i wanted to say they were cheating but i'd like a second opinion first.
2:53 What was that move?
Severing Spin, hidden Sword skill that you can get from Minamoto no Yorimitsu
I should really get back into this
which spear u use?
Or you can equip Warrior Monk's Hood for the Stalwart effect when critical :)
Doesn't work for me tbh, tested it extensively. I found if you get hit with Monk's Hood, it pretty much drains your entire Ki bar and winds you.

This is not a good build anymore since last patch.
How to check crit stats
Wow impressive
Lol thank you savewizard ;)
It still work?
Please make some pc montages. Love your content
GG
Sounds like people really got burnout by Nioh 2
Builde guide, use pure splitstaff+stack every known buff in the universe.
@Warren Shredder!! none however it is true what i said, or try to rebottle it.
not anymore!
How bad was this build nerfed?
