I see some axe build videos and they go 99 strength and stamina. Im not so sure cause my weapons atm have bad strength scaling. I am not sure what i should get to 99 next. So far my stats are 99 stamina, 20 constitution, 30 magic, 15 strength, 70 courage and rest are base stats. Any tips or is this stat distribution is okay?
@@46288328 If you want really good strength scaling you're gonna want the Odachi tbh. The Axe scales primarily with Stamina and while there is a late game club that scales alright with strength, it's still only B scaling. Most Axes do better with Stamina + Courage.
Even if you're a technical player and don't use builds, axe is one of the hardest hitting weapons in the game, yet reddit, as per usual, threw their brains out the window and told people that axe was bad cause its slow. Great build, im sure its satisfied a lot of axe users.
I used your tonfa build, and its got me through everything up to the Underworld. I'm looking for a change and this may be the ticket. Thanks for the upload!
You returned with a vengeance with this one! It’s great to see a build come full circle from Nioh 1, and this one is entirely unique with an underutilized playstyle. Thanks for the video, I learned a lot, and I really hope you share the odachi/ dual swords build next! Your builds are always informative and inspiring honestly.
Holy shit you are actually enjoyable to listen to! To many build videos I skip around ignoring what they say because I can't stand how they talk and what they talk about. I think its due to you constantly being informative and explaining why you do what you do in your builds and why. Major major kudos!
I'm having a spearbuild 5 pieces The crime of patricide and 6 pieces Magatsuhis grace gives me 50 % awaking weapon damage. Pretty solid build. Almost 400% sentience charge.
I’m not really all that interested in using an Axe. (so what am I even here for) but I just wanted to say that this is actually a very very high quality review. You speak clearly, give proper explanations and clearly understand the deeper more complex mechanics of the game. Seriously, good job.
Dude this was so sick. I love axes. It was the first weapon I picked when I got the game. I've beaten the game with every weapon now but I always go back to the axe cause the damage output is stupid sometimes. Really fun to play. Now that you mentioned it I only ever see odachi, duel sword and a little splitstaff but never axe. That's odd seeing as how the builds are so tanky
Cause axe doesn't fix the ninja fantasy that a lot of build focused players want. I play for combat instead of builds, and axe is still one of the most ridiculous weapons in this game. Its the weapon used by speed runners for a reason.
You’re right, you never ever see an AXE in DotN. I usually prefer summoning an Axe user because they tend to be more tanky and take the boss aggro pretty well, so I can focus on DPS instead.
Ya know, I'm not at max level yet and I've only managed to get to floor 50 of the underworld with a pretty bad fists build and in fact the only smart thing I think I've done in nioh 2 is get sloth ninjutsu and then get the rakansen coin to give myself effectively infinite sloth talismans, so it is truly good to know that there's someone who's willing to share the secrets of how to actually be good at the game. Applause to you, my friend
I just started Nioh 2 a couple weeks ago, and went with an axe build because of you. Haven't unlocked the main skill needed for this yet but I am wrecking shit just with normal axe attacks. I had a lot of trouble with the original Nioh but did beat it using dual swords and spear. So far Nioh 2 has been super doable w/ axe. Very satisfying.
hey dude have u tryed his build and if yes i whanna know how u managed to add those stats to lvl up ? i mean he has 200 con courage and stamina + 150 on magic =750 max lvl how he added the extra poinst on skill dexterity strength and heart?
Katana and Odachi both have alternative scaling weapons like Axe does. Katana: Tachi, Icon for it is the Katana upside down. Odachi: Deep Curve Odachi, Icon for it looks like a more curved odachi.
I've been inspired.. i'm about to play Nioh 2 for the first time, and i was deciding between spear and axe, and this tanky build seems really fun, thanks for being deciding factor 😂
How are you making the kintaro's set work at 8strength when it requires 15 to work? Edit: nvm, today I learned crafted gear has half the stat requirements compared to dropped ones.
just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this build. I'm probably watched this vid like 100 times and have nearly finished a corruption version of the build. what do you suggest with focus levels? because i always have a barrier talisman up so is attack the best choice? I know you get more bang for your buck with ki recovery.
Well granted Fist and Splitstaff are the new weapons for Nioh 2 dlcs so ur gonna see a lot of em, i used the Axe in Nioh 1 as my main, made a light armor build with it that prioritized low stance
How do you have enough Strength to make use of kintaro? Your stats show 8 STR and also shows kintaro only needing 7 STR, 7 STA but in game I see Kintaro needing 15 STR, 15 STA. Edit: NVM, didn't know ethereal gear has lower stat requirements.
Im running a similar build but with paralysis and a lot of melee ki consumption. three or four hits paralyzes them then i run behind them and charge attack and they die lol. as for other players in my experience it’s always splitstaff and dual sword critical build with purity or corruption. it’s so boring seeing the same builds.
Hello my friend and thank u for your nice work on the video..!! I have only one question about the inheritable rage skill, I'm seeing it only on weapons!!! How did u manage to socket in on armor??? Is there a possibility to have change it with some patch??? Thanks again!!! Good gaming to all!!
Man, I'm still on floor 15 on underworld, not even touching depths yet, is there any good grace substitution for oyamatsumi? I'm thinking maybe magatsuhi and the Honda clan would be good? Maybe I can kinda replicate your odachi corruption build you posted recently but with axe instead
Hey cool video. Trying out an axe build aswell so I like the pointers here. But I am curious, what about shiftling skills? I didnt see a walkthrough of those in the video so any of those that you'd recommend?
I used nothing but axe all the way through underworld; Obsidian 7 + Takemikazuchi 6 (the lightning grace, I think that's the name?) through WOTW, and then Obsidian 7 + Ninigi 6 for WOTN, and then Magatsuhi 6 + Saratuhiko 7 for Underworld. . . and then I hit Depths + 6. Now I'm stuck like Chuck lol. I'll be farming Oyamatsumi and running scrolls to get one with Ultimate Stamina, Magic, Constitution, and Courage for a LOOOOOONG time, and that axe will NOT cut it Depths + 6. If I make it to Depths +11 with axe I'll be quite surprised.
I got to Depths+11 and now I'm getting one shot regularly. I handle Yokai bosses well enough I find them more manageable but I got the Demon Slayer lady on my floor 11 and she just chases me down and one shots me. 7 piece Izanagi, 6 Susa. Gonna try get Oyatsumi from floor 6-10 and try again.
Man, this looks great! I stopped playing Nioh 2 after finishing the first difficulty once, since I wasn't really feeling it. Although I have preordered the DLCs too. Might really give it another try again.
Hey what armour is that in the picture and was wondering why don't you put more in to str for the build was just wondering I'm just starting out makeing axe build love your videos
i came into this game very late. i am in Dream of the demon. how could i use the principles here to make this build in part for dream of the demon? watched this video so many times thank you .
Great, detailed video. Even though I’m not an Ax player, I watched every second of it, there’s always something new to learn in this game. I’m interested in an Odachi/Fists build. Any advice for it? Do you think it’ll work for the end game? I just started DotW. Currently working on a Susano/Takemikazuchi build. Any tips or if you have any updated videos will be great. Hope you can read this message and thanks in advance.
Thank a lot for this, I have a question please In video you’re trying to imbued purity and have oh ho as a guardian spirit but in the same time you’ll carrying a corruption weapon? Is this right thing to do?
Awesome build! hey whats the best way to farm the kintaro pieces? crafting or lucky drop - equipped armor? cause i cant drop the crafting plans no matter how much i try...
Wow great video, but I have a stupid question: how are you at 97% weight with 200 stamina? Im only at 99 cap yet and i can already wear heavy armor with B aggility.
Thanks! I didnt know armors can be remoded too. One more question tho:how is atlas bear not even mentioned? Is it so bad? Im currently playing with atlas bear+ho because my level isnt high enough for that much stat ailments. Could it be a good possibility?
@@JumpinProductions I tried ho and its amazing! Now I completely understand why you dont mention atlas. Doing the same damage with Ho, can afford kasha and purity is godlike. Everything is confused from 2 triangle attacks with familiars and kasha too...man you are awesome.
im really late and i dont know if you even play or remember anymore but just how bad would making agility B fuck up this build? If its just to make you consume even more stamina then i think its a really worth it tradeoff to still be able to dodge. Would making the change ruin the defense tho?
For min-max of axe strong attack build, B agility is superior. Use rage and/or berserk yokai ability and it'll still consume all ki with a single strong attack. Also Magatsuhi far outdamages the shitty Kintaro set that this video uses.
The only person to ever do so is PWARGaming to my knowledge. I've looked at so many guides and his Fuma Ninja is like the only early game build. I had it up and running around region 3 and it's working well. I kinda need to sumon at least a phantom for bosses, just so they take aggro, but the ninjutsu damage after applying weaknes talisman and hitting the back gets me through the bosses just fine so far.
Hi, im new to Nioh, currently on DotW, using a magic build now, but i want to use Axe as my main weapon end game, and i see this build is interesting.. I have questions tho, first, how come i see sometimes you didnt get winded when your ki reached zero ? And how does exactly the mystic art worked ? Like it increases dmg right after you reached zero ki for the next atk ? I mean, you obviously cant attack when you have zero ki right.. Thanks!
@@JumpinProductions Ahhh yes, winded when get hit, thats true, didnt realize that.. Btw, do you have a roughly how much percentage dmg you got from the heavy bonus todo clan ? I really love your build but i do want to tweak it a bit since i dont really like the set bonus from Kintaro.. May i have your opinion ? Im thinking to replace the Kintaro with Onmyo Warrior set since i really like magic alot, then i have free slot on my helmet, is the Dragon Helm good or maybe Heavy Caterpillar ? And with this, i wont really have high toughness which means i dont need ultimate stamina and i dont have to have really high stamina either, i want to replace it with strength so i can use ultimate strength, and combine it with Gennos Hammer purity.. And maybe i will transform Magic it so i can have 200 magic and benefit from the Onmyo set dmg bonus.. With this, i will have agility B, will i be having trouble to get the ki to zero with Heaven and Earth ? Or without AA Toughness, does this build work well or not ? I dont really know the difference between A and AA toughness.. And for Axe, better stack melee dmg or ki dmg ? Or make both even ? Really appreciate your thoughts, thanks!
I'm very interested in prepping an axe build for the higher stages of The Underworld, and your build has provided me with a lot of ideas and inspiration. I do have a question, however, if you have a moment to answer: You mentioned Stamina, Courage and Constitution as your damage stats but, although it's called Shuten Doji's Club, it is classified as an axe in-game and scales from Stamina, Courage and Strength. Would you mind explaining why you've chosen Constitution over Strength (beyond the fact that it'll make you more of a tank)? Thank you in advance!
I’m only like a year late with this comment but would atlas bear be a good choice for primary spirit? You can run the same soul cores just gotta get attunement-1 on all of them which isn’t terribly difficult Atlas bear gives a nice 25% damage buff for attacks that drain Ki to zero and that stacks on top of intensity mystic art too
soul core grind in nioh 2 is really long so most people avoid grinding them because you need make a build that stacks soul-core drop rate to make farming soul-cores easy. Atlas bear is beginner guardian to this set. he explains that 15:00 that beginner set to axe is obsidian set which gives damage bonus to stamina, rage bonus and damage vs electric enemies. Atlas bear is electric guardian and if you use that guardian, you want to use Mitsume Yazura soulcore or Onyudo because these two soulcore, they apply elemental status effect based off guardian. The obsidian set is not worth using because its 7 piece set and it makes way too glass cannon for a super slow weapon like axe. He explained that a lot of damage steroids in nioh 2 come from melee vs zero ki damage builds and the best way to deplete ki on bosses is to use purity and corruption. this is why he recommends Ho because it has strong purity[strong attack]. it allows him to apply purity to break ki and when his weapon awakens, he gets damage bonus for corrupted weapon. it allows him to build tanky while not sacrificing any damage.
@@dodang_9147 thank you so much for the in depth reply, really. Much appreciated. I’ve been replicating this build (going through dream of the nioh now) and I’ve been using Ho and Oh as my primary/secondary spirits and yeah I fully understand now why it’s the better choice over Atlas Bear. Missing out on the extra 25% damage from Atlas for zero Ki attacks is negligible at this point in the game
@@loneshinobi2682 yeah pretty much. a lot of guardian spirits end up being noob-traps that simply are not worth using despite having obvious synergy. Axe is really 1 dimensional weapon for end game. There is one other build that you can do with axe and people call it mad spinner build. it revolves around stacking ki-reducation effects. you can watch this video regarding this. th-cam.com/video/QcoLcucGGDU/w-d-xo.html the summary is that you need 1 piece Vicissitudes, 3 pierce of kantaro and 7 piece grace of takeminakata set with clan being tachibana clan. Pwar explains that this is way to optimize your spin-to win build. th-cam.com/video/zZJYcXeQ2wc/w-d-xo.html Fightingcowboy explains how to use spin to win build. The jist is that corruption as status effect steals ki when you hit them. This allow you to extend the spin to win. He also explains what you should be using as magic to spin to win. two of key items he talks about is health recovery on life drain which can be put on weapon and soul leach talisman which gives you health whenever hit an enemy and when your spin to winning, your hitting the enemy a lot of times. He shows synergy with kasha that increases defense and extraction talisman where you can put life recovery on amirita absorb to gain life back. One thing you will notice when you get to dream of the nioh is that everything hits you so hard, so its not easy to just face-tank damage in the spin to win. for that reason, you need to use devorigation talisman and steel talisman. Steel talisman boosts your defense by 20% and devorgation reduces attack by 40%. the two together is -60% damage reduction. videos recommend maxing stats for normal scaling stats for the axe. you want courage, ultimate courage reduce ki consumption by 20%. constitutions for health and enough magic to use the talismans. I personally think you only need enough stamina and strength for gear load. so I rather max magic and dump rest of the points needed for the gear weights. that's only alternative build you can run that differs from heavy-equipment weight build of this axe build.
axe build hellyeah axe is very simple, thats why people ignore it, but it does some serious damage, and it breaks any human enemy who blocks alot thank you
Sorry, noobish here(lvl 140) how do you have full kintaros without having his axe equipped? I seriously feel like I'm under utilizing my full capabilities.
Maybe someone can help me with this. Im not into ng+ rn and im wondering, should i farm the smithing texts for this build now? I mean, do i keep them? or will i loose them? and maybe some tips not much people talk about, that i might not know.
I would actually recommend not wasting time with Nioh 1. Maybe if you want, go ahead and play it for the story.. but there are different mechanics for both games and the whole point of the game is to farm farm farm.. so spending that time in Nioh 1 when you're ultimately just moving on to Nioh 2... time wasted imo
If it was me I'd just jump straight into 2. Imo 2 is a better game with more added to it. Plus 2 is a prequel to 1 anyways. So you're not missing anything by playing 2. Except for knowing who a couple people that show up in 2 late are. That's literally it. The only thing you gain by playing 1 first are knowing core mechanics but you can learn those easily in 2 cause it has a dojo you can practice in
Ok so how do I get the last few guardian spirits after soyaha like Baku and so forth. Haven't beat the last dlc but have 100% clear for all other areas. What did I miss
i dont know if you stil lread these comments but im intrested in this build BUt can you do a version on what to do for your frist play though? you know the first 300 levels i think? that would be very great
how did you get attack on helmet and inhertiable rage duration AND then Tenacity at the bottom.... Ok so Inhertiable i understand you can get from any equipment ( mostly gloves ) and then transfer it to helmet.... Tenacity is basically Orange Inhertiable BUT how the feck u got Attack on there....
Weakness will be fast human characters like Ren Hyabusa and Nyotengu. They rekt this build due to low ki, ki windedness, terrible block rating and SLOOOOOW. Getting constantly put into ki windedness state actually makes this build not so tanky and low real-world DPS.
I see both of ur weapons are 7.5 and 7.4k how is that possible? I have 1 weapon thats only 7k and other is 6.9k max familiarity and max level 200 and also remodel to the best stats possible
Dude how u manage to get extra points for skill dexterity strength and heart since max lvl is 750 and u have 200 points on Con/COurage/Stamina and 150 on magic ? am i missing something ?
In some ways this build just makes me sad as I try to get the last bit through the Depths. Sometimes I am completely demolishing stuff - other times they wipe the floor with me. Even just doing a twilight mission again Ryomen today I got completely trashed. Ancient Nyotengu in the Depths (around level 18) was a joke. She takes every slow windup and does a grab that one-shots me. For such a tacky build (I'm at level 120) I seem pretty fragile. It isn't fun especially when you don't know what you are doing wrong.

@@JumpinProductions I tried ho and its amazing! Now I completely understand why you dont mention atlas. Doing the same damage with Ho, can afford kasha and purity is godlike. Everything is confused from 2 triangle attacks with familiars and kasha too...man you are awesome.
im really late and i dont know if you even play or remember anymore but just how bad would making agility B fuck up this build? If its just to make you consume even more stamina then i think its a really worth it tradeoff to still be able to dodge. Would making the change ruin the defense tho?
For min-max of axe strong attack build, B agility is superior. Use rage and/or berserk yokai ability and it'll still consume all ki with a single strong attack. Also Magatsuhi far outdamages the shitty Kintaro set that this video uses.
If I am still on NG, how would you recommend that I prioritize which stats to put points into?
Ever think of doing a build you can do while leveling for new pc players?
The only person to ever do so is PWARGaming to my knowledge. I've looked at so many guides and his Fuma Ninja is like the only early game build. I had it up and running around region 3 and it's working well. I kinda need to sumon at least a phantom for bosses, just so they take aggro, but the ninjutsu damage after applying weaknes talisman and hitting the back gets me through the bosses just fine so far.
Hi, im new to Nioh, currently on DotW, using a magic build now, but i want to use Axe as my main weapon end game, and i see this build is interesting.. I have questions tho, first, how come i see sometimes you didnt get winded when your ki reached zero ? And how does exactly the mystic art worked ? Like it increases dmg right after you reached zero ki for the next atk ? I mean, you obviously cant attack when you have zero ki right.. Thanks!
You only get winded when you get hit with no ki. The damage comes from when you use your ki and reach zero so every time you use your strong attack.
@@JumpinProductions Ahhh yes, winded when get hit, thats true, didnt realize that.. Btw, do you have a roughly how much percentage dmg you got from the heavy bonus todo clan ? I really love your build but i do want to tweak it a bit since i dont really like the set bonus from Kintaro.. May i have your opinion ?
Im thinking to replace the Kintaro with Onmyo Warrior set since i really like magic alot, then i have free slot on my helmet, is the Dragon Helm good or maybe Heavy Caterpillar ? And with this, i wont really have high toughness which means i dont need ultimate stamina and i dont have to have really high stamina either, i want to replace it with strength so i can use ultimate strength, and combine it with Gennos Hammer purity.. And maybe i will transform Magic it so i can have 200 magic and benefit from the Onmyo set dmg bonus.. With this, i will have agility B, will i be having trouble to get the ki to zero with Heaven and Earth ? Or without AA Toughness, does this build work well or not ?
I dont really know the difference between A and AA toughness..
And for Axe, better stack melee dmg or ki dmg ? Or make both even ?
Really appreciate your thoughts, thanks!
I'm very interested in prepping an axe build for the higher stages of The Underworld, and your build has provided me with a lot of ideas and inspiration. I do have a question, however, if you have a moment to answer:
You mentioned Stamina, Courage and Constitution as your damage stats but, although it's called Shuten Doji's Club, it is classified as an axe in-game and scales from Stamina, Courage and Strength. Would you mind explaining why you've chosen Constitution over Strength (beyond the fact that it'll make you more of a tank)? Thank you in advance!
I believe it's more so for his secondary, Geno's hammer.
Awesome Video. Looks a lot of fun THIC BOIZ Unite can't wait to give it a try ^^
I’m only like a year late with this comment but would atlas bear be a good choice for primary spirit? You can run the same soul cores just gotta get attunement-1 on all of them which isn’t terribly difficult
Atlas bear gives a nice 25% damage buff for attacks that drain Ki to zero and that stacks on top of intensity mystic art too
soul core grind in nioh 2 is really long so most people avoid grinding them because you need make a build that stacks soul-core drop rate to make farming soul-cores easy.
Atlas bear is beginner guardian to this set. he explains that 15:00 that beginner set to axe is obsidian set which gives damage bonus to stamina, rage bonus and damage vs electric enemies. Atlas bear is electric guardian and if you use that guardian, you want to use Mitsume Yazura soulcore or Onyudo because these two soulcore, they apply elemental status effect based off guardian. The obsidian set is not worth using because its 7 piece set and it makes way too glass cannon for a super slow weapon like axe.
He explained that a lot of damage steroids in nioh 2 come from melee vs zero ki damage builds and the best way to deplete ki on bosses is to use purity and corruption. this is why he recommends Ho because it has strong purity[strong attack]. it allows him to apply purity to break ki and when his weapon awakens, he gets damage bonus for corrupted weapon. it allows him to build tanky while not sacrificing any damage.
@@dodang_9147 thank you so much for the in depth reply, really. Much appreciated. I’ve been replicating this build (going through dream of the nioh now) and I’ve been using Ho and Oh as my primary/secondary spirits and yeah I fully understand now why it’s the better choice over Atlas Bear. Missing out on the extra 25% damage from Atlas for zero Ki attacks is negligible at this point in the game
@@loneshinobi2682 yeah pretty much. a lot of guardian spirits end up being noob-traps that simply are not worth using despite having obvious synergy. Axe is really 1 dimensional weapon for end game.
There is one other build that you can do with axe and people call it mad spinner build. it revolves around stacking ki-reducation effects. you can watch this video regarding this. th-cam.com/video/QcoLcucGGDU/w-d-xo.html
the summary is that you need 1 piece Vicissitudes, 3 pierce of kantaro and 7 piece grace of takeminakata set with clan being tachibana clan. Pwar explains that this is way to optimize your spin-to win build.
th-cam.com/video/zZJYcXeQ2wc/w-d-xo.html
Fightingcowboy explains how to use spin to win build. The jist is that corruption as status effect steals ki when you hit them. This allow you to extend the spin to win. He also explains what you should be using as magic to spin to win. two of key items he talks about is health recovery on life drain which can be put on weapon and soul leach talisman which gives you health whenever hit an enemy and when your spin to winning, your hitting the enemy a lot of times. He shows synergy with kasha that increases defense and extraction talisman where you can put life recovery on amirita absorb to gain life back.
One thing you will notice when you get to dream of the nioh is that everything hits you so hard, so its not easy to just face-tank damage in the spin to win. for that reason, you need to use devorigation talisman and steel talisman. Steel talisman boosts your defense by 20% and devorgation reduces attack by 40%. the two together is -60% damage reduction. videos recommend maxing stats for normal scaling stats for the axe. you want courage, ultimate courage reduce ki consumption by 20%. constitutions for health and enough magic to use the talismans. I personally think you only need enough stamina and strength for gear load. so I rather max magic and dump rest of the points needed for the gear weights.
that's only alternative build you can run that differs from heavy-equipment weight build of this axe build.
Any recommendations on how/where to get kintaro ethereal set please.
is this build still so good ? i mean in the current pach 1.27 or someting get nerf and is no more so effective ?
This is a good build. Thank you. I have a question. How do I set up a custom active skill?
Skill customization
axe build
hellyeah
axe is very simple, thats why people ignore it, but it does some serious damage, and it breaks any human enemy who blocks alot
thank you
If you ever come across a hatchet throwing advancing storm spammer in co-op with a full set of tosa armor and op cat hat that's me.
Do you have a video from a endgame hatchet build?
What You think about Blue Dragon? Electric build
Thank you for this vid.
does high attack damage only effect the quick attack, or is it all attacks in the high stance
All attacks, including skills in high stance i guess
I know this video is a yr old but is this build still viable and does it have to be an axe and if not what would be another good weapon
Sorry, noobish here(lvl 140) how do you have full kintaros without having his axe equipped? I seriously feel like I'm under utilizing my full capabilities.
Maybe someone can help me with this. Im not into ng+ rn and im wondering, should i farm the smithing texts for this build now? I mean, do i keep them? or will i loose them? and maybe some tips not much people talk about, that i might not know.
You can freely switch between NGs at any point from the map so you lose nothing by farming now or later. Completely up to you!
@@Purpletrident sweet, thank you
For this build to work to need to get to ng+3 or 4 dream of nioh
another great build
About to try out Nioh 1. Does recommend this before Nioh 2?
It's not necessary but it's great as well
I would actually recommend not wasting time with Nioh 1. Maybe if you want, go ahead and play it for the story.. but there are different mechanics for both games and the whole point of the game is to farm farm farm.. so spending that time in Nioh 1 when you're ultimately just moving on to Nioh 2... time wasted imo
If it was me I'd just jump straight into 2. Imo 2 is a better game with more added to it. Plus 2 is a prequel to 1 anyways. So you're not missing anything by playing 2. Except for knowing who a couple people that show up in 2 late are. That's literally it. The only thing you gain by playing 1 first are knowing core mechanics but you can learn those easily in 2 cause it has a dojo you can practice in
Amazing build
I need that scroll. Would you mild helping me out?
what are those yellow orbs that circle you.
Ok so how do I get the last few guardian spirits after soyaha like Baku and so forth. Haven't beat the last dlc but have 100% clear for all other areas. What did I miss
Baku is third dlc boss guardian spirit
Good job. how you can make your weapon A- on both stamina and courage?
Double remodel, triangle to select and X to confirm
How did you get your axe to 7477? I'm at 7275, so I'm missing about 200. Trying to figure out what I'm missing
@Gabriel that's what I'm thinking
Your toughness is 358 (AA), mine is 404 (A). How come?
How is the build tankyness playing depths?
Can I use your revenant please to get this build? 🤙
You’ve gained a new subscriber, love this build 😍😍
i dont know if you stil lread these comments but im intrested in this build BUt can you do a version on what to do for your frist play though? you know the first 300 levels i think? that would be very great
@Gabriel thanks for the reply :D i started today so it a great help.. where some of the stuff you suggested ^?
@Gabriel any suggestions on the magic ones? so when i do get points i can pick them?
Please tell me how you got such a large elemental damage (yellow numbers). I apologize for my English, I use Google translate.
it is a % of your total damage, the larger the number, the larger the element number
@@JumpinProductions thank you very much for your response))
@@JumpinProductions please answer one more question, how did you do that the weapon would not be displayed on the back?
@@ДартВейдер-б8п it's in the settings you can hide some or all your weapons
How did You get heritable for rage duration?
Probably from a revenant with that specific piece of equipment on it.
As an axe user this build is pure disgusting. 😎👌
I thought purity and corruption cancelled each other out? Is that not true? Can you get them both up at the same time?
They do I talk about it, 20:18
how do you have the bonus from all 6 pieces of Kintaro with only the armor equipped?
yasakani magatama bonus 32:28
strange my kintaro set need 15 in stamina and 15 in strength , did you get a special set?
Forging it or orange rarity require half
@@JumpinProductions ok thanks for your build
Can that build can solo melee the crucible's bosses in Dept?
How did you get your weapon's attack bonuses to be A- D- A-?
Double remodel, hit triangle on one stat to select and X on other to confirm.
@@JumpinProductions Ah i had no idea you could do that. Thanks!
how did you get attack on helmet and inhertiable rage duration AND then Tenacity at the bottom.... Ok so Inhertiable i understand you can get from any equipment ( mostly gloves ) and then transfer it to helmet.... Tenacity is basically Orange Inhertiable BUT how the feck u got Attack on there....
This build is good for depths of the underworld?
1:40 nevermind
Weakness will be fast human characters like Ren Hyabusa and Nyotengu. They rekt this build due to low ki, ki windedness, terrible block rating and SLOOOOOW. Getting constantly put into ki windedness state actually makes this build not so tanky and low real-world DPS.
@@ouki4925 this build performs fine against them.
Is there a way to make something similar with non-axe weapons?
I see both of ur weapons are 7.5 and 7.4k how is that possible? I have 1 weapon thats only 7k and other is 6.9k max familiarity and max level 200 and also remodel to the best stats possible
how long does it takes to make this kind of build from scratch?
Depends on how merciful the rng is
Dude how u manage to get extra points for skill dexterity strength and heart since max lvl is 750 and u have 200 points on Con/COurage/Stamina and 150 on magic ? am i missing something ?
Also had same question, but you gotta remember that every stats start at 5. So when he reached 200 and 150 he still have couple extra skills points.
Well done, and yeah tanking still works more than ever; saying otherwise is a meme.
In some ways this build just makes me sad as I try to get the last bit through the Depths. Sometimes I am completely demolishing stuff - other times they wipe the floor with me. Even just doing a twilight mission again Ryomen today I got completely trashed. Ancient Nyotengu in the Depths (around level 18) was a joke. She takes every slow windup and does a grab that one-shots me. For such a tacky build (I'm at level 120) I seem pretty fragile. It isn't fun especially when you don't know what you are doing wrong.
