I like that there are other people that go with the style rather than playing it like a souls game. the flow and overall fighting mechanics are top notch. team ninja really did an amazing job. thanks for the guide.
Awesome I’m glad more people know of this rather than using R2 O 24/7
Item Cancel is the SHIT!!
@Brian Roberto Anyone gives a shit 100%
YES! I would PAY to see you do a series of advanced tech and covering the depth of skill play in nioh 2. Conversely, I don't think someone could pay me to watch another video about builds... it's overdone, and like you said, there's a lot more to nioh 2 than op builds and spamming gozuki lol. Also, if you're on dream of the nioh, you should be able to make your own builds by now; you don't need someone to tell you how to do it. Figure out what you want to do, (ex) (I'm doing a speedy playstyle. AA agility, dash speed, dodge range and dodge invulnerability, etc). Find out what synergizes well with it, (faster movement and ki recovery on dodge attack) and go from there.
What we DO need is more expert advice on how to make our play more interesting, more diverse, and raise our skills. We don't need another build video, unless it's for fun or something. But a lot of the topics in this video are things I knew, but the way Xeno explains them, and puts together useful APPLICATION of these tech... *chef kiss*! Lol. You really are a master of the skill play Xeno, and that's always what drew me to your vids!
Glad I've subbed earlier today 😎
The montage is sick af.
And you have really clear and concise way of explaining things, I hope you'll continue making these guides!
BTW: To switch spirit you just need to press R1 + L2 (not R1 + R2 + L2). Force of habit from trying other techniques!

This is some of the nastiest shit I've ever seen. Im dreading how many hours im abt to spend at the training ground.
🥷🏾
No lie!
Wish I could like a video twice! Excellent combat techniques expertly explained, and I particularly appreciated the GS attack showcase.
I find ki cancel for feathers really usefull. If you try to do perfect ki impulse during your combos anyway, you are already used to it. Just play like you always do, and just add feathers from time to time to your attacks.
Thank you for this trick, i didn't knew it before. I only knew Anima Block cancel. Your videos are great!
What you can do with it, you can use weapons with skills which are causing mobility attacks and these can be ki impulsed. Which means, you can charge forward with a weapon skill, use a feather, ki impulse and just continue whatever you wanted to do. this is amazing
Yo, as a PC Nioh fan, I deeply appreciate your advanced combat videos, and even if your build videos are outdated, they really helped get my noggin goin' for my own endgame buildpath.
game came out on feb 5 nice timing for this vid hope the community gets a little more lively
For pc at least, it’s been out for ps4 for a while
You never ceases to amaze, great work.
The best Nioh 2 player right here👏👏
Now THIS, is what I wanna see. Screw builds, I'm so tired of seeing "this build does 5 million damage"... meh. Show me some skill play and advanced tech, that is actually interesting. Great job Xeno
"Duuuuuh, i do damage, duuuuuh, i do no blocking, fuck mechanics, duuuuuuuh. Oh shit, i died? Duuuh, fuck it."
The best defense is a strong offense
Its all about speed farm
Hey man, so glad you're still making guides for Nioh 2, your advanced tips blew my mind!
Best tutorial on youtube
Agreed, he explains it very clearly and shows the incredible depth of Nioh2 combat system (no other game comes close really)
I'm still relatively new to the series, and just finished the main campaign in Nioh2, but it is great to see what the upper skill ceiling is in this gane.
I only recently "figured out" what the quick attack after a ki-pulse and weapon swap. I'm amazed by how much I don't read at times.
Like leveling up low level soulcores, or how to select an inherited skill when there are two options 😂
Started this game a week ago and I've completely neglected these guardian spirit talismans. Amazing options! Thanks
You’re showing me stuff I didn’t even know was possible. More please.
Dude it would be so cool to watch some streams with only combat style with non op builds that's the true skill of nioh
I agree 10 billion percent! I'm so sick of builds honestly, and now, just playing through missions on dream of the nioh, without any particular builds. It's way more enjoyable than builds crafting, and true skill play isn't really possible if you're always so op nothing can challenge you
Absolute ridiculous skill mate. Arigatō gosaimasu 🙏🏼
Just wanna say this video is still amazingly helpful, thanks for making it!
great vid. previous tutorials and this have really helped me get through dotn, getting quite a few first trys along the way, wouldnt of been possible otherwise so really appriciate the advice. i will add when enemy's are zero ki, they take on paralysis super quick/easy, great for locking them in zero ki state. good with the unbrella yokai ability
Jesus yeah that is really advanced thanks
Really love your video guides. Very helpful.
Lol just using counter to cancel out of stuff is gonna improve my gameplay massively already. Awesome vid
This video was awesome! I coundn't really find a way to use feathers in my combat other tahn in the begging of the fight. Now, with the cancels, I can really play with it. Thanls a lot!
Thank you very much for the information! The cancel trick definitely will help my gameplay because I use Ninjutsu and Onmyo Skills most of the time. 😄
Best nioh 2 videos out there, gg!
I noticed this stuff when I was in the dojo trying to make up weapon combos, it happened when I accidentally activated a yokai ability instead of an active skill(don't know how THAT works), but then it made me curious of what kind of things I could do with fusing Onmyo, Ninjutsu, and Yokai abilities. This was while the 2nd DLC was out and I didn't have the season pass, I made a move that I will tinker with a bit and possibly give it a new name: "Domain of Takemikazuchi"
Uses (in this order):
- Thunderous Hell Ninjutsu
- Sanmyo Storm (Raining Blades) Soul Core
- Hakutaku's Guardian Spirit Skill
- Daidara Bocchi's Soul Core
- ThunderShot (3 Lightning Bolts from above)
- Soul Release Talisman
Again, I might end up tinkering it due to me now having all the soul cores and jutsus.
Glad you're back!
My god, I just realised how bad I am at that game while watching you haha. Well I get by, but I play in such a basic limited way. Great to see how deep the game can get! Love the video
Same dude. Sometimes I pull off something awesome but it will never come close to this.. time to train lol
Yo this video really helped me out. Thanks xenoswarm
YOU ARE THE BEST XENOSWARM-SAMA! WILL I EVER BE AS GOOD A SHINOBI AS YOU???
You are undoubtedly the grandmaster shifu hokage arch-yokai.
Did you know that Kuzunoha's Guardian Spirit ability remains after she fires the corruption beam and can chain it with Mizuchi for example?
this is gold bro, great stuff
So, I take it you'll be getting that Ninja Garden: Master collection to flex on too?
nice. i started a kusarigama/ninjutsu build. so practicing the feather cancel will help a lot :D
MORE!!!
Most excellent video, thank you for sharing
You dont need to press all 3 R1-L2-R2 buttons to switch guardian.
Just press and hold R1 then press L2 .
Quick and easy.
Man , I really hope I can do this with fist, I love up close and personal fighting style , I may have to invest on sword but it be worth it.
Dream chapter feels like a victory rush at this point.
Bro why don’t they have pvp could you imagine him fighting pooferlama in. A 1v1
It'd be like watching a long anime fight.
My money is on WhiteGoat
That would be like Madara facing harashima senju
pvp or coop? imagine the shenanigans with coop :)
I would actually pay to watch that
Im gonna pick up nioh 2 again just for this video
But that song in the beginning
Good guide.
yeah you hard bro
I would love to see some sort of build focused around using all of these kinds of combos. It's pretty hard to find a build that doesn't break the game and actually allows for this kind of comboing but im unsure on what armor/weapons I would end up using or which stats are good to focus on. I only recently started playing Nioh 2 and forget everything I ever knew about Nioh 1 apparently (used an Hayabusa build that abused Iai quickdraw and Carnage) so I'm definitely curious how you would make a build like this work if you ever get around to it. :)
You got my sub man! And I joined your discord server!
the combat in nioh is so much better than in souls game imo, too bad that the souls community not playing this game because it was not made by FS lol
The ones that do play it, complain about the combat because they want a simplified, streamlined combat like in souls. There was a content creator on YT that exemplifies this, Magicat. He was complaining that he couldn't do enough damage to OG otakemaru unless in high stance, but couldn't dodge attacks in high stance. Someone commented "all you've gotta do is switch stances between attacks", and he replied "that's too many button presses for me, too complicated". So it's bad design on the part of nioh 2, that you don't want to learn the mechanics and systems present in the game?`That encapsulates that mentality of the souls die hards
You only need to press r1 and then l1 to switch your gaurdian spirit
you are underestimating ki pulse item cancel, but overall its good video.
Hey man, I remember your videos inspired me a long time ago in Nioh 1! Feel free to elaborate/educate on what you mean, I'd love to hear
@@Xenoswarm While canceling item animation with yokai skill/burst counter is easier, faster and viable in most situation (like feather + Ippon), canceling with ki pulse requires nothing to consume. Doing it with ki pulse only is great to follow up a combo (especially against out of ki enemies), and you can even go with a sheathing attack since ki pulse cancel will auto sheath your weapon. In the most efficient scenario, you can follow up a combo smoothly compared to using a yokai skill like how you can ki loop an enemy while applying debuff to apply confusion and how fast you can chain your attack without delay while keeping a human ki very low.
The downside of this method however is how most enemy operate in Nioh 2: you get hit while trying to item cancel with ki pulse vs faster enemies. Shockwave talisman will definitely help you keep the pressure going because of the aoe hit from the talisman after every ki pulse.
Overall, both method can certainly be viable to use and work great when using them together to pressure your enemy. Its just that the yokai skill method is versatile to use in most cases while ki pulse canceling strongly excels in combo potential while adding more variety to the gameplay.
@@LasttoLoad Yeah, I mean I think I pretty much conveyed all of that in the video tbh. The reason in most cases I rarely use the Ki-pulse technique is because in a typical situation, I'd be playing with a build, with a plan. So against a specific enemy, I'd have anima from the start, to cancel with Yokai abilities, and the boss/enemy would be dead long before I run out of anima. The only situations where this would be less controlled, is when playing for the sake of tech-play and skill fighting. In which case I'd be using the ki-pulse technique anyway because it is, by definition, a form of tech.
Speaking of tech, I noticed some things seem to have changed with recent updates. I can't seem to do the teleport-tech on Sword anymore with Swallows Wing. If that has been removed, I wonder what else might have suffered, and also, find it strange seeing as it's existed as a tech, not only all this time, but also, since Nioh 1.
@@Xenoswarm Teleport tech is fixed since patch 1.20. Its no longer a thing for Nioh 2 (same goes for kusa pull tech since dlc2).
Hey Zenoswarm! Amazing video, and tons of interesting information.
Regarding ideas for future content, what do you think of making build videos for new players? Like new game build, way of the demon build, way of the wise build, what do you think about it?
I had no idea you could do all of this in the game .
Thanks bro
Much respect
Good stuff.
I love watching your videos. you have mad skills and I learn a ton from you. I have been playing purity fists with demon slayer set and am in DOTD at the moment. I am a little bored with the fists and watching your sword play makes me want to try a new build with katana/dual swords and light armour. What's a good set to use pre-etheral/graces? Yoshitsune? Hyabusa? Flying Kato? master swordsman? Thanks
Hi Xenoswarm. Could you upload this build or any good sword + dual ninjutsu build?
Is there any chance you would do a build that is aimed at newer players with various gear recomendations for the various stages of the game? All these super end game builds are nice and all but when people look up builds thats all they get. Also any chance we could get a build that uses sword and spear with one of them not just being a stat stick.
EDIT: I know Your latest build can use sword and spear but a more tailored build would always be good
So I played the first game and am now playing 2 thanks to the PC release and I have found that the Split Staff is very cool. Do you have any advanced techniques for that weapon alone? Preferably ones that would help me through the main game and then into the endgame? I feel I am just not using it correctly
Is there a benefit to pressing so many buttons to switch guardian spirit instead of just pressing *right bumper > left trigger* ?
P.S. Brand new PC player here lol :p
Impressive video! How is that possible that your stamina does not drain so fast when using all these combos? What are your stats to perform this flawlessly? Thanks.
Stacking ki consumption reductions, flux and flux 2 to recover more ki, and either A agility or AA agility if you have ultimate stamina. The amount of ki, and the stats a player has, aren't nearly as important as these factors
@@ricardodarcangelo2437 Thank you for the explanations!
can we expect a split staff video from you
How did you finish off the yokai at 7:18 without using the special dagger animation?
Insane how good some people get at this game! I'll stick to From Software games... they're for less talented players like myself lol 😂
I gotta say after having played nioh i cant see myself go back to fromsoft games, with everything nioh has and the extend of skill expression you can have and skill floors.
@@mortenlarsen7220 yeah I can definitely see where you're coming from. The game is absolutely badass.
@@mortenlarsen7220 yeah, I've thought the same thing. But the caveat, I would say, is that I could never go back to Fromsoft games FOR COMBAT. There's still several reasons to play souls, or bb; the level design, the lore, the pvp, etc. I'll add however, that Tenchu laid the groundwork for Ninja Gaiden, which laid the groundwork for Nioh. Tenchu, of course, was Fromsoft as well. Nioh 2 is the culmination of all this
@@ricardodarcangelo2437 Ohh yea i wanna get a ps5 to play demon souls remake, and i know if it wasnt for those games nioh would likely never had happened. I personally only look at level design if i have to provide pointers to what a game does well aside from gameplay.
Nce video
Cancel dont work anymore? I tried high stance sword + raijin + ki pulse but raijin cast but not the ki pulse
Any chance of an updated master swordsman build?
Can you add a gamepad display app? Looking at you combo made me have a heart attack :( :( sorry for using google translate
What's the fastest soul core for cancels, firearm maybe?
What is that skill at 5:28 where you summon multiple red blades?
How do you keep your ki so high up through these insane combos? Not only in this video, but also in your other builds.
Early in the game, investing into heart will help. Later in the game, you can re-spec, place those points into 150 courage. You will be able to obtain Scrolls with the stat Ultimate Courage, which reduces ki consumption. Also because 150 courage will increase ki-regen dramatically, ending a combo with a yokai ability lets you regain your ki during the Yokai animation.
@@Xenoswarm Any chance you can make an updated build video for a build? In the previous builds there is hardly any Courage afaik. Also please include a couple of works how you would suggest leveling up said build, that would help A LOT.
20:04 excuse me please but what kind of attack or skill is this? That jump spinning move? I saw in one of the guides that someone perform something like this with fists weapon but i still can't found info about this...
Izuna Drop, skill for single swords and fists. Farmed from Hayabusa from second DLC
@@vladislavgilyov6626 Понял, большое спасибо!
How can i up the weapon proficiency from 30 lvl (or 500k points)? Or it maximum lvl?
Sooo dark souls was the tutorial for this game? cuz as a noobie i feel like it lol
Can you show your build for this video?
Not working at 2022. How to cancel now?
What's the music from the beginning?
What build are you using in the video?
Meanwhile me ... I still don't know how to do a burst counter .. like what keys on the KB Dx
I highly suggest you use a controller for ARPGs on PC
@@Xenoswarm tried nioh on ps4 when it came. It wasn't fun learning controls AND the game ... KB-M are easier for me... unless it is a combat game.
So if u do this right u wont consume the item??
If only i didnt have analog drift smfh
Yo, how do you recover ninjutsu by doing damage? New to the game :)
Well you can get "Unlimited Ninjustu X%" as a perk on your gears, which gives you a chance to get back a ninjustu after you use it
There might be items after you clear the game once and get to higher difficulties that make it easier to get back ninjutsus but I'm not there myself so can't tell you
@@mawrys7604 what he's using here is a perk called ''empowered ninjutsu'' which refunds the last ninjutsu you used after you dealt a certain ammount of melee damage. There's an onmyo equivalent and is present on dotn-exclusive sets
any beginner stuff
How do u earn the multi chop from yomitsu
What’s your build that you are running?
Is that normal i didn't unlock any skill ?? 😭😭
So i played the first game completely wrong.
I played it like Dark Souls, 1-2 hits, evade, repeat XD
Lol most players coming from souls do. I did it too. But yes, this combat is nothing like souls at all
DUDE WTF had i been doing playing it like a dark souls game.... attack dodge wait for turn attack dodge.... lol
havent played since launch on ps4, whats the move at 1:20 ?
Severing Spin. Obtained in DLC 2
Can i have characters creation code pls)
