@@PWARGaming Okay Feather is viable thats good, well i really like this build you just posted. I was thinking of this same type of build when DOTD came out lol. Keep up the good work and don't overwork yourself my friend. Stay safe and continue to be OP💪🏿.
Great build. Just a heads up, Maeda clan reduced defense on Grapple doesn't work in multiplayer. Don't ask me why. It seems enemies have their status resistances increased thus preventing you to trigger that status.
hmm weird, thanks for the info. yah co-op seem to jack up accumulation. owell, just have to rely on others using weakness, or impurity transfer with carnage
In coop are the most build not that good. Its like punching with ur build against a wall. In solo u run like a god and in coop u need move back sometimes. Confusion dont holds long and debuffs too.
Got this build going minus some soul core optimization and it is a ton of fun. Beating the living crap out of revenants is hilarious and this build doesn't let anyone breath. I also love styling on enemies with the stance switching. It can be pretty tough to get as high of grapple damage as you show because you have to utilize basically every damage buff you have, but I've managed it a couple times.
Overall, I think your builds are the strongest I've come across. I do not stick to them exactly however they are a great starting point. Right now I'm always playing about with your grapple and Inari build. I really hope you make an odachi build. I use to find this weapon far too slow but it's quickly becoming one of my favourites. Thanks for sharing them. I really want to catch your stream next time you broadcast.
It's rough having to put so much into stamina, but I'm a huge fan of the tank and spank style of play. Having played quite a bit of DotD, ki damage and/or confusion are the two most effective things you can focus on and both of these weapon types offer that in spades.
it is rough, but 30% dmg is 30% dmg increase and your normal hits kinda suck ass for tonfa, so i just went all in on the grapple mechanic. most of ur hits are simply to get benz stacks so they're too inefficient to give say a 3pc melee dmg set to. stat wise, you cap out 99 in double dmg stats anyways so honestly its not that big a deal pumping into stamina, unless you wanted like a dual wpn build, but i generally specialize in 1 wpn per build.
@@PWARGaming Outside of fully tempering and rerolling accessories, I put most of this build together , and proceeded to utterly clap Azai's bird cheeks with as much ease as on way of the strong. I considered maxing skill as well since dual swords are one of my favorite weapons to use, but I noticed the scaling from heart wasn't all that far from max skill so the swords deal enough damage to use from time to time if I get bored of the twirly sticks. All in all, a fun and effective build.
I've made a version of the build and I think it's the strongest build I have. However, I cannot clear winds or ruin like you can. Often the enemy jumps over the Paralysis bomb or is just not affected by it. When it works is is however a thing of beauty. Love it! :)
if your too close when they fall, they'll move slightly out of the way of the traps if you put them in the middle, so you gotta stay a little back from the rug they jump out to. the only one the can mess up a run is kato, since its rng of whether he does the dumb flying out animation as soon as he drops and traps go off.
It’s sad because this build looks soo fun but I really do not want to save scum. Can I get a decent enough build for DotD just from picking up gear? I find forging confusing and laborious as hell. To spend an hour in menus per piece is just too much for me. I only have finite time and want to actually play the game. 😔
I did the math on the chance of getting the star effect grace, and it came to 1/1200. 1/2 to get a divine (rounded) 1/10 to get the right grace (1/20chance) 1/10 chance to get a star effect (i think pwar said that in his grace video. Now a 1/200 chance) For medium armor graces like this build, you have a 1/6 chance to get the grace you want(1/1200).
For heavy armor (like unrelenting grasp in this video) you have a twice the chance of getting your desired one, 1/600. It doesnt seem like this for me, but the math adds up. Their could be some favorited graces or star effects so i could be wrong.
Just wondering bro how come u don’t like the tonfa? I love it lol, well I use it as a 2nd my main is still DS but tonfa is so fast and strong I love it still lol
Omg, this build is OP asf. If you don't mind, can i ask about your curent snowman build? Should i go with bentaizen or keep the inari's grace set? Thank you.
you could go either or. benz set does use inefficient skills to get stacks so its not like its 1:1 "3 stacks beats inari", you need like 5-6+ and then start spaming your best skill, to beat inari, which might be too much hassle for odachi given its slower attacks and the fact you have to finish the animation, unlike with tonfa.. i chose inari for the updated version (text version). for odachi to go benz you must use burst counter to cancel skill animations fast, which requires anima gen, which again, is pretty hard for odachi.
Hey PWAR, loved your build for tonfas. So much so that I'm going to replace my own 6-piece Bens Grace and 5-piece Inari's Grace with Blue Dragon spirit with yours. But I have a question: since you've got those "Melee damage vs Poisoned enemy" perks on so much of your gear, wouldn't it also make sense to have poison on your weapon, so you can proc the damage buff more often, rather than relying on it in Winds farming only?
you could, for faster clearing of normal levels. but purity element is really adding a lot to the ki dmg you do to yokai, so you if you do go poison broth, you'd have to use purity shot to apply purity consistently. and if you don't, then poison + 1 feather can't proc confusion, you'd have to use two different elements to apply confusion ontop of your poison. just seemed more a hassle. its easier to just blister powder a boss for poison, if you wanted 60% more dmg :p
Bro u do dem best nioh 1 and 2 builds, can u do a katana build? I still use my lai quickdraw build with kingos 2 pieces malefactors with paralyze dmg. I dont want use graces builds cuz kingo was my fav set since nioh 1. I even play without confusion and still do good xd. I used your nippon steel build in nioh 1 only even when it got nerved i did all till way of wise nioh simple. Keep the good work bratan.
its great, tho, i think my main ki sapper is actually normal strong attacks in mid, so your choice. whichever star effect rolls first for you, active or normal ki dmg.
Thanks for the build, it's giving me some ideas to make my own. I'm curious about one thing here, why do you temper extra anima onto your tonfas? Is it just the best use of that slot still available to you or does it synergize with something else in the build?
you need at least 13 anima to go goz into nep. (7+6). if you have 12 you can't do that. example every calamity fight in the video. at 12 there maybe moments where you don't generate anima in time. so i went with it to be 100% consistent.
I’m not the biggest ninjitsu fan when it comes to poison damage so I’ll gonna focus on grapple damage. I got a god drop on a lightning Omari that gives a 18% buff to damage against electrified enemies and zero ki enemies I’ll have to reroll my yasakani for one of them. Probably wear the veterans helmet to replace the coiled snake and double specialize in constitution and courage for that beefy health. Currently farming divine gear for the long ass grind of melee ki damage on my veteran gear.
I literally cannot believe we have almost the exact same build lmao!!!!! This is great!! You are doing a bit more damage than me on Ruins mission with the brute grapple but man, we are almost the exact same as far as the build goes. I will adjust mine a little to help out with the dmg a little more, thanks man!!
Im currently using this build in DotD. This is probably the best all-around build to handle multiple situations. I do some alterations by having Active Skill DMG as the primary stat instead of Ki DMG, because i think pure Ki DMG would be too much overkill with tonfas, and it is definitely easier to temper. I also use light armor for the head, so i invested a lot less points in Stamina and dump them on Magic for 500 Onmyou power, then on Skill for Dual Swords as an alternative. I do have some questions though. Does Melee vs Poisoned stack with Melee vs Zero-ki? addictively or multiplicatively? Diminishing return? From the tests i ran on Gozuki, using Nupeppo and Benzaiten as main dmg buffs, poison and confusion on Gozuki and Maeda crest. Grapple dmg seems to be the same 56k+ or around the same amount for both Zero-ki (37) + Poisoned (39) and only Zero Ki / Poisoned. If it really doesnt stack or having extreme diminishing return, I would change two Melee vs Poisoned for something else.
i did a 4 hour stream rerolling gozuki cores lol. but, not sure if the one i ended up using was one i already had, or the rerolled one. either way yah, core rerolling is way more harder than starred armor imo
@@PWARGaming Hi mate, just another quick question if you have the time - and this might sound stupid, but what's the purpose of rolling untouched ninjitsu on the pieces? Do you find that an extra ground trap or feather makes that much of a difference?
@@TehOak not really no. but winds of ruin is 7 masters i think, so proccing it once can ensure a clean run through for para/poison trap. the feathers, i don't have much slots so figured it might come in handy, but was only really useful for big stages or multibosses in co-op. as long as you get x and x for each element, you can cover say calmity pulse without any untouched.
Nice build and wish something similar damage wise could be done for dual.swords . Benz set is very unbalanced if you're not using tonfa, hatchets or switch. Yet to see a decent dual swords build for dotd
its not unbalanced, you actually have to learn your weapon to make versatility work well for almost every encounter outside of strictly boss fights, heck, i even use versatitliy on my axe and spear builds, the 40ish seconds given for each stack is very generous for all weapons. You dont have to get it to stack 9 everytime to see good damage. fyi.
I don't know how you got both benz grace and melee ki damage on certain armour pieces and it only took you around an hour to do the whole set. Hours on a single piece and I have not managed to get to roll both skills. This must be the most maxed amour set I've seen so far.
Is this build still viable for DotD (did it get nerfed or anything?)? Also, would it be comparable to use the malefactor gear set (+40% melee dmg) instead of benzaiten (versatility)?
Love the build, but did ya try nullify damage in yokai shift in the living weapon build, i mean their damage doesn't deplete the bar as we are near 💯 immune to that
can't be 100% immune. they nerfed nullify dmg in patch 1.12, so only 10% each across 3 cores. it would be inconsistent, but yah the initial idea was honda+boa helm+nullify + grapple stuff + otake. can't do that anymore. it had its uses, but something like this tonfa build is just straight up better and more consistent, and less tedious to make to get respectable dmg, and i still get the same grapple dmg essentially by just using yokai shift when they're able to be grappled.
killspeed wise, this tonfa build isn't the fastest. it's just all around solid. snowman/moonlit spam should kill quicker honestly. tho i'm unsure against yoshistune. with poison charms/snake you should be able to one shot winds of ruins the same way i did with shift form so that's covered for snowman too. altho lvl sync, probably not, idunno.
@@PWARGaming oh cool thanks. I just love odachi and the snowman build. can you recommend a guardian spirit for an updated odachi build other than ho oh? I know Tengen Is not viable anymore.
@@danielrojas-db9nq there's atlas bear. there's piggy as main spirit for 15% dmg reduction mid-attack. ho is mostly a secondary spirit if you dont care about luck, as its 2ndary passive gives 4% high atk dmg. so if you're using it as a main, you're really only gaining 4% high atk dmg, vs something like bear, or whale, or yatagerasu for element dmg
snowman(updated) or axe spin2win/strong attack spam. there's also paralysis bow but unsure how long that'll last, since it kills enemies stupidly fast. however, in co-op, dont think its good compared to the others, and against humans its stinky poopy.
@@derfloh8986 video no, pinned comment has it. and couple people in my discord said they had success with it, and I've seen another inari odachi build do good dmg, so should be stable.
I love your builds PWAR. Strange thing for me in calamity, when i deplete the ki of shuten and otakemaru, i never get the chance to grapple, because when their ki is depleted they go into dark realm. How is that?
Amazing build again Pwar. In winds of ruin i can´t one shot them with leven sync. Made the same build. Only thing i do not have is on my magata is mêlee damage vs zero ki enemy. Is that the case of it you think? Please help.
kunai is dead but perhaps feathers can be worked into my hatchet build more seriously then they were with this one. pinned comment on my snowman odachi build video has updated odachi set up.
Redpill me on Veteran armor! It says less Damage taken (mid stance) in english but less Damage taken (attack) in german. So not sure which translation to trust
during your attack. same effect as shibata set and piggy spirit. so unless all those are wrong too, its during an attack. luckily for this build your main ki dmg/anima generators is mid-stance so there's that i suppose in case german is correct.
definitely not tosa lol i'd go benz set. 3 stacks with 2kat is easy. then just spam windstorm/water sword. challenge would be, how not to die. likely have to rely on sloth, or get enemy to zero ki before you start the blender.
Hi Pwar. I am new to your channel and I already subscribed. Can you please help me with this build ? I mean, I am watching the video but I don't understand 100%. I am stuck at the fight with Minamoto no Youhitsune and I tried for like 10 times and I can't pass at all ...I am lvl 400 alrady and I am sure that my build is not going to be so good for dream of the wise. I can take a picture of my build and you can see how it is now. I really want to continue playing the game and I have 300 hours in it, I don't want to give up on it.
My build is almost the same as yours (my weapon is only +18) and I'm trying figure out how you break the yokais stamina so easily enough to grapple them.
red form deals more grapple dmg. tapir is mainly there for ki dmg, that's it. you might not need it, but i like it. i'm less about dmg, and more about killspeed. faster they get out of ki, faster i kill. i recommend shin roku if not, i spam strong mid a lot, and 50 life per hit+ your other stuff, sounds tasty. panther is nice too to rid debuffs, including carnage on strong attacks.
@@destinationskyline07 because you can use yokai ability Guzoki to knock enemy on the ground after that buff your self with nuppeppo ability you cant do that without extra anima
Is it better to get active skill ki dmg on armor instead of melee ki dmg? I'm only asking bc it is showing a higher % for the active skill ki dmg bonuses. Just curious, thanks.
i mean you should have plenty...how many regions have you done? there should be some as mission rewards through the regions. otherwise i'd just abduction farming strat in hopes of one popping up.
should be region 1, there's a side mission with a neko that spawns enemies and you fight goz at the end. forgot the name, but lots of graves before you talk to neko to start the sequence. its in my splitstaff video where i should show the name of the stage. only +7 gear, but can get star effects randomly.
@@PWARGaming oh ty yes i Need for stars lol, i hate that i can't reroll equip such as helmet to sudama ti reroll star, isn't sure It give u same helmet WITH other stats
Hey chief? I have watch this vid several times. I have grinded to get these parts. Stats. Everything except star active skill damage and my tonfa is +14 not +20. But I am not even half the damage? Grapple for me is like... 10% damage.
base atk is huge factor in scaling. get to +20, get flat atk on everything, then the big multipliers from all the sources will add up much more to what has been done in the video.
I just settled for what you're describing and it's perfectly fine imo. You just end up using some active skills more than once as you whittle down enemy Ki as opposed to standard attacks. It still works really well given how important versatility is in the build.
brothers blade mission region 3 i think, there's a big revenant guy near a crystal, kill him and he should drop a core every time, then just travel amulet back to shrine and repeat. dont break the crystal tho. can do on ng+ instead of dotd for easier farm.
dont think so, you attack so fast that they'll be like 10-20% ki left after a midstance combo and you'll still have plenty of ki to do more skills from barrier etc. unless it effects when they change realms, but dont think its a deal breaker since the realm change erases debuffs anyway
@@PWARGaming This is my favorite build --- most fun to play right now. 2nd best = "Hold Triangle to win" build. Swirling Snow Odachi (now with hyper armor) + 5pc Swirling Snow inheritables I farmed pre-DLC.
Man I just can’t get this build working for me. Dunno why but it just doesn’t do enough damage on my end. I don’t have any stars but I have the same tempered stats, my grapple did 10k just dunno why not more hmm.
that sounds way too low. this build uses every buff in the book practically to reach that dmg. neppepp, 7-9 stack versatiliy, carnage, confusion, zero ki, +20 wpn, soul purge, all armor with atk golden inheritable, starred stats, weakness from maeda clan, double melee vs zero ki star. against the humans stacked poison dmg. you're not gonna reach insane numbers if you're not able to replicate the effects completely.
@@PWARGaming yeah too true mate. I was getting the 9 stacks well and pretty good zero ki/purity stuff, but I think it took me about 10 minutes to take down benkai lol. I'm currently trying a similar build but instead of grapple trying a big damage skill like moonlight snow or tornado and just stacking that single ability after the 9 stack. Thanks for the great content anyways basically the only reason I keep coming back to it. I'm keen on seeing an update tank build though.

You can play about with the stats and make this build work with other weapons. I am loving playing Kusarigama with it too.

Star effect with a grace it’s just too much RNG this is really a problem

Hey PWAR, loved your build for tonfas. So much so that I'm going to replace my own 6-piece Bens Grace and 5-piece Inari's Grace with Blue Dragon spirit with yours.

I got a god drop on a lightning Omari that gives a 18% buff to damage against electrified enemies and zero ki enemies I’ll have to reroll my yasakani for one of them. Probably wear the veterans helmet to replace the coiled snake and double specialize in constitution and courage for that beefy health. Currently farming divine gear for the long ass grind of melee ki damage on my veteran gear.
Bro if its possible, can u make a real nice coop build?
I literally cannot believe we have almost the exact same build lmao!!!!! This is great!! You are doing a bit more damage than me on Ruins mission with the brute grapple but man, we are almost the exact same as far as the build goes. I will adjust mine a little to help out with the dmg a little more, thanks man!!
Im currently using this build in DotD. This is probably the best all-around build to handle multiple situations.
I do some alterations by having Active Skill DMG as the primary stat instead of Ki DMG, because i think pure Ki DMG would be too much overkill with tonfas, and it is definitely easier to temper. I also use light armor for the head, so i invested a lot less points in Stamina and dump them on Magic for 500 Onmyou power, then on Skill for Dual Swords as an alternative.
I do have some questions though. Does Melee vs Poisoned stack with Melee vs Zero-ki? addictively or multiplicatively? Diminishing return?
From the tests i ran on Gozuki, using Nupeppo and Benzaiten as main dmg buffs, poison and confusion on Gozuki and Maeda crest.
Grapple dmg seems to be the same 56k+ or around the same amount for both Zero-ki (37) + Poisoned (39) and only Zero Ki / Poisoned.
If it really doesnt stack or having extreme diminishing return, I would change two Melee vs Poisoned for something else.
Project... how long did it take you to get a Gozuki Soul Core with Yokai Ability Damage on it? Mein Gott.
i did a 4 hour stream rerolling gozuki cores lol. but, not sure if the one i ended up using was one i already had, or the rerolled one. either way yah, core rerolling is way more harder than starred armor imo
@@PWARGaming You're a god, my dude. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do.
@@PWARGaming Hi mate, just another quick question if you have the time - and this might sound stupid, but what's the purpose of rolling untouched ninjitsu on the pieces? Do you find that an extra ground trap or feather makes that much of a difference?
@@TehOak not really no. but winds of ruin is 7 masters i think, so proccing it once can ensure a clean run through for para/poison trap. the feathers, i don't have much slots so figured it might come in handy, but was only really useful for big stages or multibosses in co-op. as long as you get x and x for each element, you can cover say calmity pulse without any untouched.
@@PWARGaming Thanks for the reply, mate. Super helpful!
Nice build and wish something similar damage wise could be done for dual.swords . Benz set is very unbalanced if you're not using tonfa, hatchets or switch. Yet to see a decent dual swords build for dotd
its not unbalanced, you actually have to learn your weapon to make versatility work well for almost every encounter outside of strictly boss fights, heck, i even use versatitliy on my axe and spear builds, the 40ish seconds given for each stack is very generous for all weapons. You dont have to get it to stack 9 everytime to see good damage.
fyi.
@@ltlsWhatltIs I fully understand have tested other weapons hence my comment.
how is your goz soul core phantom?
I don't know how you got both benz grace and melee ki damage on certain armour pieces and it only took you around an hour to do the whole set. Hours on a single piece and I have not managed to get to roll both skills. This must be the most maxed amour set I've seen so far.
is was more near 2 hours, but yah, got pretty lucky. got yata mirror under 2 hours co-oping during stream too :p so maybe rng likes me this time...
Is this build still viable for DotD (did it get nerfed or anything?)? Also, would it be comparable to use the malefactor gear set (+40% melee dmg) instead of benzaiten (versatility)?
Love the build, but did ya try nullify damage in yokai shift in the living weapon build, i mean their damage doesn't deplete the bar as we are near 💯 immune to that
I ran it through the twilight , but i have to activate it again at the last shrine but as a speed running option
can't be 100% immune. they nerfed nullify dmg in patch 1.12, so only 10% each across 3 cores. it would be inconsistent, but yah the initial idea was honda+boa helm+nullify + grapple stuff + otake. can't do that anymore. it had its uses, but something like this tonfa build is just straight up better and more consistent, and less tedious to make to get respectable dmg, and i still get the same grapple dmg essentially by just using yokai shift when they're able to be grappled.
Why the Kiryoki Soul core instead of Namahage for more Melee vs Zero Ki Damage???
Great build but I wonder if the snowman can keep up with this
killspeed wise, this tonfa build isn't the fastest. it's just all around solid. snowman/moonlit spam should kill quicker honestly. tho i'm unsure against yoshistune. with poison charms/snake you should be able to one shot winds of ruins the same way i did with shift form so that's covered for snowman too. altho lvl sync, probably not, idunno.
@@PWARGaming oh cool thanks. I just love odachi and the snowman build. can you recommend a guardian spirit for an updated odachi build other than ho oh? I know Tengen Is not viable anymore.
@@danielrojas-db9nq there's atlas bear. there's piggy as main spirit for 15% dmg reduction mid-attack. ho is mostly a secondary spirit if you dont care about luck, as its 2ndary passive gives 4% high atk dmg. so if you're using it as a main, you're really only gaining 4% high atk dmg, vs something like bear, or whale, or yatagerasu for element dmg
@@PWARGaming I will try those spirits thank for the advice. I hope I can see a new op odachi build someday.
Nice Build! Looks a little to hard to play for me though. Which build would you consider good for DoD but easy to play?
snowman(updated) or axe spin2win/strong attack spam. there's also paralysis bow but unsure how long that'll last, since it kills enemies stupidly fast. however, in co-op, dont think its good compared to the others, and against humans its stinky poopy.
@@PWARGaming thx alot. Is your snowman guide video up to date?
@@derfloh8986 video no, pinned comment has it. and couple people in my discord said they had success with it, and I've seen another inari odachi build do good dmg, so should be stable.
@@PWARGaming Cool thx again
I love your builds PWAR. Strange thing for me in calamity, when i deplete the ki of shuten and otakemaru, i never get the chance to grapple, because when their ki is depleted they go into dark realm. How is that?
You have to deplete their maximum ki, not just their ki.
I do not understand how you achieved this. I'm using way of the wise pieces and even on demon mode I can only achieve 40k grapple damage.
Any substitute/ temporary replacements for anima on tonfa??? I can't seem to find a soul core with it rn.
Amazing build again Pwar. In winds of ruin i can´t one shot them with leven sync. Made the same build. Only thing i do not have is on my magata is mêlee damage vs zero ki enemy. Is that the case of it you think? Please help.
Wait. So you have to get star effect and grace at the same time?? How much tries did it take per item??
took me over 6hrs, not worth it
Can you make a Dotd ninja build or odachi build next?
kunai is dead but perhaps feathers can be worked into my hatchet build more seriously then they were with this one. pinned comment on my snowman odachi build video has updated odachi set up.
Redpill me on Veteran armor! It says less Damage taken (mid stance) in english but less Damage taken (attack) in german. So not sure which translation to trust
during your attack. same effect as shibata set and piggy spirit. so unless all those are wrong too, its during an attack. luckily for this build your main ki dmg/anima generators is mid-stance so there's that i suppose in case german is correct.
@@PWARGaming yeah it is wrong for all effects like them
When copied your stats, Taira armor was requiring 17 stamina and 17 strength. How did you lower that to 8 and 8?
Thanks
forging cuts reqs. in half
PWARGaming thanks
Do you think blender is dotd viable still? Any changes?
definitely not tosa lol i'd go benz set. 3 stacks with 2kat is easy. then just spam windstorm/water sword. challenge would be, how not to die. likely have to rely on sloth, or get enemy to zero ki before you start the blender.
Hi Pwar. I am new to your channel and I already subscribed. Can you please help me with this build ? I mean, I am watching the video but I don't understand 100%. I am stuck at the fight with Minamoto no Youhitsune and I tried for like 10 times and I can't pass at all ...I am lvl 400 alrady and I am sure that my build is not going to be so good for dream of the wise. I can take a picture of my build and you can see how it is now. I really want to continue playing the game and I have 300 hours in it, I don't want to give up on it.
My build is almost the same as yours (my weapon is only +18) and I'm trying figure out how you break the yokais stamina so easily enough to grapple them.
Gozuki.
I cant find the gloves. is there any other gloves I can use to replace it?
You should do a switchglaive build
Is there a reason you use one spirit for normal grapple and the other for different grapples ?
red form deals more grapple dmg. tapir is mainly there for ki dmg, that's it. you might not need it, but i like it. i'm less about dmg, and more about killspeed. faster they get out of ki, faster i kill. i recommend shin roku if not, i spam strong mid a lot, and 50 life per hit+ your other stuff, sounds tasty. panther is nice too to rid debuffs, including carnage on strong attacks.
might drop to a 6 piece and go purity tonfa, tonfa gun not worth using?
nah, didn't add much to the build and wasted a slot so preferred the extra skill ki consumption
The only thing I miss is Anime inhe on the weapon. Is there any soul core that has better chances to drop it?
nope randomly i find Anima ( not anime :p) with kasha & Guzoki in my storage
I dont quite understand why you need that on the weapon....help?
@@destinationskyline07 because you can use yokai ability Guzoki to knock enemy on the ground after that buff your self with nuppeppo ability
you cant do that without extra anima
Is it better to get active skill ki dmg on armor instead of melee ki dmg? I'm only asking bc it is showing a higher % for the active skill ki dmg bonuses. Just curious, thanks.
Eres una máquina bro
THE MACK IS MOTHAFUCKIN BACK!!!!
brb respecing to Tonfa
I have this build since 5 days and my damage is significantly lower. 30k damage no way. Btw thx for great video.
Need to manage confusion and use the right talisman. I had the same problem
I have a similar build.... but kept my royal tonfa that already had built-in purity. I also have 5pc Pulverize heaven inheritables.
But what is that refashioned armor tho?!
Is this build still viable in 1.25? If yes any way to improve it? If no any similar build i can copy?
Yes it is. Switch out Bezaiten grace with Susano or Izagani
Could this work with kusarigama i wonder?
How would the states be distributer.
Okay, can you tell me where to farm a normal green Magatama? I didn't know that you can get vs zero ki on that as well, and I don't have one
i mean you should have plenty...how many regions have you done? there should be some as mission rewards through the regions. otherwise i'd just abduction farming strat in hopes of one popping up.
Pwar u know some.spot in dotd for revenant grade?
should be region 1, there's a side mission with a neko that spawns enemies and you fight goz at the end. forgot the name, but lots of graves before you talk to neko to start the sequence. its in my splitstaff video where i should show the name of the stage. only +7 gear, but can get star effects randomly.
@@PWARGaming oh ty yes i Need for stars lol, i hate that i can't reroll equip such as helmet to sudama ti reroll star, isn't sure It give u same helmet WITH other stats
Hey chief? I have watch this vid several times. I have grinded to get these parts. Stats. Everything except star active skill damage and my tonfa is +14 not +20. But I am not even half the damage? Grapple for me is like... 10% damage.
base atk is huge factor in scaling. get to +20, get flat atk on everything, then the big multipliers from all the sources will add up much more to what has been done in the video.
Still using my first ninja build poison based how to get stronger without having to forge new outfit
look at this noob killing all the bosses in a demon scroll instead of killing 1/2 and die to farm +17 items... jk love your builds xD
Abyss levels of SUCC
Can active skill ki damage substitute for Melee ki damage? I’ve been forging for hours now and just burnt out lmao
I just settled for what you're describing and it's perfectly fine imo. You just end up using some active skills more than once as you whittle down enemy Ki as opposed to standard attacks. It still works really well given how important versatility is in the build.
yah either or is fine. strong attack mids is draining the ki most, but active should equalize in the end i think considering the skills used.
I did the same thing. Just use a lot of mid stance heavenly chain and it works like a charm.
TEE-ALEEM!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Any ideas for a single sword build?
kurama 4pc + x. either inari or benz is my plan for the eventual build.
Hi Man, need to convert my soul core in phantom. Where i can find phantom mortal core?
brothers blade mission region 3 i think, there's a big revenant guy near a crystal, kill him and he should drop a core every time, then just travel amulet back to shrine and repeat. dont break the crystal tho. can do on ng+ instead of dotd for easier farm.
Really thanks bro. Last questione.... Demon parade can roll ki damage?
What about Lifeseal Talisman for slowing enemy Ki regen? Not worth?
dont think so, you attack so fast that they'll be like 10-20% ki left after a midstance combo and you'll still have plenty of ki to do more skills from barrier etc. unless it effects when they change realms, but dont think its a deal breaker since the realm change erases debuffs anyway
@@PWARGaming Thank you!
@@PWARGaming This is my favorite build --- most fun to play right now.
2nd best = "Hold Triangle to win" build. Swirling Snow Odachi (now with hyper armor) + 5pc Swirling Snow inheritables I farmed pre-DLC.
Man I just can’t get this build working for me. Dunno why but it just doesn’t do enough damage on my end. I don’t have any stars but I have the same tempered stats, my grapple did 10k just dunno why not more hmm.
that sounds way too low. this build uses every buff in the book practically to reach that dmg. neppepp, 7-9 stack versatiliy, carnage, confusion, zero ki, +20 wpn, soul purge, all armor with atk golden inheritable, starred stats, weakness from maeda clan, double melee vs zero ki star. against the humans stacked poison dmg. you're not gonna reach insane numbers if you're not able to replicate the effects completely.
@@PWARGaming yeah too true mate. I was getting the 9 stacks well and pretty good zero ki/purity stuff, but I think it took me about 10 minutes to take down benkai lol. I'm currently trying a similar build but instead of grapple trying a big damage skill like moonlight snow or tornado and just stacking that single ability after the 9 stack. Thanks for the great content anyways basically the only reason I keep coming back to it. I'm keen on seeing an update tank build though.
Dude. Yes.
nice build
love it
Bast build for some missions
all missions*
Hi man congrats its perfect... now you can help me with dual sword? Im lost... be safe
Anyone know the name of the 1st music?
