A Hand Cannon makes some sense since you have a bit of Strength, and a Rifle since you have a bit of Courage. Do not worry about Ki Consumption because you’ll use all of it anyway, and once you master the Axe you’ll actually gain increased damage for using all your Ki during an attack.įor Ranged Weapons it doesn’t really matter what you use, and you’ll likely have mediocre damage here.

You’ll also want Life Drain on High Attack or Strong Attack and Strong Attack or High Attack Damage. I suggest uploading a save to the PSN Cloud and then just tempering your Axe until you get this bonus, or redownloading your save if you spent too much or it didn’t happen. When you gain the Samurai From Dark Lands Set you’ll use Gozutenno’s Axe, and after this Set you’ll switch to Kintaro’s Axe which is part of the Kintaro Set.īonuses you want on these Axes are Imbue Lighting ideally, which Kintaro will come with by default. You can use a Yokai Axe or one that is Imbued with Lightning ideally for maximum damage. Raging Tiger Weaponsįor this Build you’ll be using an Axe of some kind early on, as there is no Axe Set specifically at lower levels. It is also much easier to use Heavy Armor with tons of points into Stamina, so this is a natural choice when using an Axe, and that’s without mentioning that you tend to get hit with slow swinging weapons so this helps to mitigate damage. Raging Tiger Weapons, Armor & Accessoriesīecause your main Stats for this Build are Stamina, Strength and Courage, it makes a lot of sense to use an Axe, since it scales off of 3 of these. You can pull off this combo as long as you have at least some Ki, so you will find you are at Low Ki nearly all the time.

This is a very Ki hungry Build, with the two hit combo draining all or nearly all of your Ki with each combo, so you’ll want to gain it back quickly. Next you want enough Strength in order to meet the requirements of your Armor, to give you a stronger Ki Pulse, and increase your damage with Axes further.īeyond that nearly all points should go into Courage for increased damage and Ki Recovery. Additionally, it will increase the damage of your Axe the most, so it’s win/win. Stamina you want to prioritize early on in order to get your Equipment Load below 70% which will help with your Agility, allowing you to move more quickly in Heavy Armor. You need Stamina, Courage, Strength and a tiny bit of Constitution for some Health. The Stats needed for the Raging Tiger Build are quite simple. This makes you nearly invincible while you swing away with prejudice.

This usually heals you for most of the damage done, but if not, a couple more enemies comboed this way will top you off. If you happen to be struck mid combo, you’ll gain Health from the Obsidian Armor Set, your Guardian Spirit bonus and ideally you’ll have Life Gain from High Stance on your weapon. The way this Build works is that you’ll buff with Rage, and then simply run into enemies and use the Strong Attack from High Stance to do a two hit combo that will either outright kill enemies or Stagger them, allowing for a quick follow up of this same combo which will finish them off. Since the healing received is based on damage dealt, the higher damage you deal the more you will heal, so crank that damage up! This allows the Raging Tiger to complete it’s devastating 2 hit combo without interruption, often healing the damage received mid swing. Additionally, because of the Heavy Armor we wear with this Build the damage we take tends to be rather low, and prevents us from being Staggered very often. The Raging Tiger uses a combination of buffs and strong attacks to destroy enemies in one fell swoop. This Build will be updated as I reach higher levels of the game and more equipment becomes available. This is a starter/mid game Build meant for players just beginning Nioh 2, or for those that are early to mid game and are having trouble.

I’ll be showing you where to place your Stats and Skill Points to get the maximum impact for this Build, as well what equipment to use, and which Guardian Spirit and Soul Cores to have.
