Your point on debuffs disappearing. I was farming Shuten and when I would proc saturation I'd see it disappear within a couple of seconds, this was without getting confusion off, and in other instances see it last the full duration. Both times was before he ever entered the dark realm stage. I've noticed some weird bugs through out the game, hanging scrolls still aren't working, and I'm not sure if it's an intended change.
If u see this comment, i wanna ask u, how u can update spear build in last nioh2 patch ? Mb another guardian spirit or armor? Or this ur vid actually in 2022 for all difficult in game?
Hi. I don't understand. Why dont put pts into skill instead of heart for more dmg because spear scale on skill and not heart? Another thing that you scale A- ,B+ and D-. My spear doesn't do that even when I remodel. Thx for your great videos
Perhaps, depends. If you like running a lot of long missions such as Twilight missions in full, then the current helmet is better. For boss fights and running Carnage or Soul Purge, Black Fox is better due to attack buff conflictions
Nice build man best thing about it is that I don’t have to get both of the star effect and the grace on a single piece of equipment because the RNG is really bad I really think team ninja should do something about it
Would this build or at least what I could put together in dream of the strong be effective or is this only for dream of the demon and above? I already got a yasakani drop from the DLC.
No 180 level weapon? Can find some level 180 soulcores sometimes, then soul match a corrupted weapon and then soul match your main weapon with that level 180 weapon. Some more damage potential!
I finally got to ng+ and I can tell you spear and dual swords are easily the best weapons I use both now lol, but I want that Scampuss hat you get for ng++ so I gotta grind more
The stats of your active ranged weapon also affect your melee weapon. So if you have a bow with Damage Bonus Agility, this bonus will also apply to your melee, if the bow is the current “active” weapon.
Could you change stats to 99 strength and skill to make it dual sword viable if I want to mix it up if I get bored with the spear? Since at least 40 constitution is required anyways
Damn! Great build, tried to do this build somewhat close to yours but I have no luck getting the right stats and grace when forging the gear. How can you do so many different builds so quickly and get exactly the right stats all the time without running out of materials and money?
The only efficient way is through Save-scumming which means BEFORE you start crafting, you upload your save to the cloud or USB. Then you craft 10-20 times for your item. If you don't get the rolls you want, you re-download your save and start again. That's how you keep your materials. In terms of time, there is no solution. I spent most my night just crafting for the helmet to have Inari + Anima for example. For this build I didn't need to farm the armor or weapons because they were re-cycled from my last build. I only needed to craft the spear and helmet, then soul-match/temper/inherit them.
Not sure what you mean, but if you mean "Attack Bonus Magic" on your weapon, then yes it's the same as any other stat if you have it at 99. You can't scale your Spear via re-modelling with magic though, so you will still want 99 in Spear relevant stats to do that. Spears typically scale with Constitution, Strength, Heart or Skill depending on the Spear
@@Xenoswarm yes that's what I meant, using the magic scaling stat, I know the spear doesnt scale with magic, I should have been more clear, and thank you for answering my question
i never had much use for the guardian spirit skills. it looks like you're using it while not being in yokai shift, i didnt know this was even possible, how?
I know the feeling. That happened to me with every build I've copied from youtube. I finally made my own build and it turned out stronger than I expected so I posted a video on it.
Because you can re-model the Holly Spear to scale with strength. So, the armor is very heavy, so if we invest in strength we don't need as many points in stamina, whilst still investing in a main damage stat. This only works if you re-model the weapon to scale with strength and another stat (i.e constitution)

Great music, great montage, great player!🔥🔥good work as always my man.
this was super informative and gives me a new way to look at the spear, so thank you!
Fantastic build Xenoswarm! I’m usually awkward with using the spear but after seeing that showcase I gotta give it another try.
An advanced combat build using hatchets will be great.
Man the intro has so much styling.

Not sure if you still don't know why those buffs are falling off but when confusion/discord falls off, it wipes off element debuffs.
GREAT music, SSS combo for intro. The twirl was all swagger.
i didnt know the spear had all those epic flips and dips im gonna have to respec
Best Nioh 2 montages award goes to: Xenoswarm
Hey bro, I've been looking everywhere for the spear skin that you are using on your great holly spear, do you mind telling me which spear it is?
It's called the Swan Spear from DlC
Bro wtf this is so beautiful
You can notice the debuffs disappear more easily in multi player but it still happens in single player
If u see this comment, i wanna ask u, how u can update spear build in last nioh2 patch ? Mb another guardian spirit or armor? Or this ur vid actually in 2022 for all difficult in game?
Ooohhh My Goooooooooood
( Finally someone which speaks for the good of Ability Chidori) I also feel like I want to cry : ')
Team ninja needs to add Dream of the Xeno just for him to be challenged 🤣
Shoppy can we make this happen please!!😂
My guys!!!
Tristan Neal the gangs all here lol
Believe it!
Xeno OP. Please nerf. Probably Shobby too. 😜
cool so fast episode 3 nice job sensei...😁
What skill customisations do you use. you forgot to show it in your video.
Hi. I don't understand. Why dont put pts into skill instead of heart for more dmg because spear scale on skill and not heart? Another thing that you scale A- ,B+ and D-. My spear doesn't do that even when I remodel. Thx for your great videos
Xeno, would you say it's better to run the Yokai Hunter build (Kusarigama) with more Onmyo Magic Power, Black Fox Mask and Atlas Bear like this build?
Perhaps, depends. If you like running a lot of long missions such as Twilight missions in full, then the current helmet is better. For boss fights and running Carnage or Soul Purge, Black Fox is better due to attack buff conflictions
You've outdone yourself
Nice build man best thing about it is that I don’t have to get both of the star effect and the grace on a single piece of equipment because the RNG is really bad I really think team ninja should do something about it

Can find some level 180 soulcores sometimes, then soul match a corrupted weapon and then soul match your main weapon with that level 180 weapon. Some more damage potential!
Nice. I've never combined Grapple build with Inari. Only used it with Benz. Looks like it works well
@xenoswarm where do you get the taira smithing text mate .?
There a preferred set to go with if not grappling in coop play? Master of Spears?
Can u forge inari sets on ng+? Or do u need to wait till dotd?
I finally got to ng+ and I can tell you spear and dual swords are easily the best weapons I use both now lol, but I want that Scampuss hat you get for ng++ so I gotta grind more
Why ranged weapons in all your builds always have damage bonus (agility)? Could you explain? Thanks
The stats of your active ranged weapon also affect your melee weapon.
So if you have a bow with Damage Bonus Agility, this bonus will also apply to your melee, if the bow is the current “active” weapon.
Dude, do you think you could post your CaC in the comments? I really love your ninja gal look but I can’t quite copy it exactly, thanks man!
How do you have so many points in spear!? I'm at max and and don't have enough points left to get all the abilities u have. Am I missing something!?
Wait, are you fighting with a massive arrow?
Side question: Why do people "pause" menu after the boss fight?
To show the mission level
A new hero arises...
Could you change stats to 99 strength and skill to make it dual sword viable if I want to mix it up if I get bored with the spear? Since at least 40 constitution is required anyways
I have some questions.
1. Strength or skill which is better for spear
2. attack bonus Constitution from honda or thrust damage from mataza.
Is that a skin on the spear or is that wat the great holy spear looks like? And how can I get it?
Damn! Great build, tried to do this build somewhat close to yours but I have no luck getting the right stats and grace when forging the gear. How can you do so many different builds so quickly and get exactly the right stats all the time without running out of materials and money?

@@Xenoswarm Aha! Really shitty that you need to do all that in my opinion... But thank you very much for the response. You make great content bro!
Question, would attack scaling magic be just as good as say attack scaling strength in this scenario?
Not sure what you mean, but if you mean "Attack Bonus Magic" on your weapon, then yes it's the same as any other stat if you have it at 99. You can't scale your Spear via re-modelling with magic though, so you will still want 99 in Spear relevant stats to do that. Spears typically scale with Constitution, Strength, Heart or Skill depending on the Spear
@@Xenoswarm yes that's what I meant, using the magic scaling stat, I know the spear doesnt scale with magic, I should have been more clear, and thank you for answering my question
where do you get this gear from. i haven`t seen it anywhere soo??
what is the name of this thumbnail armor ?
Would you do an updated spear build? o:
also I know yomis lightning shfit probably is ass but I use it to pretend to be the nameless king lmao dashing around
Awesome Build love it!! Btw does anybody know the ending song ?
i never had much use for the guardian spirit skills. it looks like you're using it while not being in yokai shift, i didnt know this was even possible, how?
Talismans can "summon" it. Or in this case use the Guardian Spirit
What's funny about these builds is that I feel inspired to make one just like them but then when I make them, it turns out to significantly weaker lol
I know the feeling. That happened to me with every build I've copied from youtube. I finally made my own build and it turned out stronger than I expected so I posted a video on it.
Dude I been trying to get a toshiies abacus and had no luck that’s like the only piece I’m missing
Did You play it on ps4 or pc?
I was about to say nice gameplay but, it seems kinda odd you never switch low stance and are still able to do high stance skills
Hello, Why is 99 Strength important? thanks!
Because you can re-model the Holly Spear to scale with strength. So, the armor is very heavy, so if we invest in strength we don't need as many points in stamina, whilst still investing in a main damage stat. This only works if you re-model the weapon to scale with strength and another stat (i.e constitution)
Can i apply this build for dual sword
Was running a switchglaive build but bruh thus persuaded me
Why is 300 toughness important? What happens at that point?
You should probably have more poise but i need to test that.
Name of song?
Kristian Nealy same here I want to know the name of the song
I'd like to know the music as well, it sounds perfect to use the new fists to while taking on DotW content😋
This is a remix of "Army of Justice" by Immediate Music.
I hate when youtubers don't credit the music used in their videos and ignore comments asking for a title.
Can you please tell me how are you getting 180 gear?
It drops in the later regions and demon scrolls sometimes. If that happens - just soul match your stuff with them and they're level 180.
wait...wasn't that piercing rain, not chidori?
I only use Piercing Rain once in this video. Chidori is the skill showcased throughout, including when I'm talking about the skill.
🔥 intro
Is gozuki still viable?
Does anyone know if a) poison counts for elemental damage buff from inari?
b)if poison counts for confusion?
No and No.
No and no indeed
It's easy fighting anything with a billion buffs on
Bruh get there he had to grind for all them buffs and die 10000 times I bet this game rewards consistent effort and skillful gameplay
Have you made a versatility build yet?
Yes. Vengeful Ronin build
@@Xenoswarm I'll look it up, thanks for the reply!
Name of the song please
What is that music good video
...summoner?
Name song? 😍😍
Hi, hatchets build please :)))
4 billions amerita 🥺

Name song ? 😍
