Watch the Weapon You Use

Two new weapons are added in Nioh 2. You should choose whichever weapon you will be most comfortable with in the game. So how you play the game and how you choose your weapon is very important here. Two axes called Hatchets are being added to Nioh 2. With these newly added axes you can move fast and defeat your enemy more easily. However, it is worth noting that the damage the axes deal is lower relative to their speed. Another weapon coming to the game is the Switchglaive. This weapon also lets you move fast, but like the other one, the damage it deals is low. As you level up, the Switchglaive turns into a deadlier weapon that deals more damage.

Beware of the Yokai

You will often run into yokai called Gaki in the game. They are creatures that roam hungry in Nioh 2. Driven by their hunger, they want to feed on you. So it is very important to kill your enemies as fast as possible and get away from them. Because these creatures get even stronger when they feed!

The Barrier Spell Is Important

There is a region in the game called the Dark Realm where yokai are concentrated. The Barrier Spell, known as one of the Omnyo spells, will protect you from the bad effects of this region. Using this spell will make it easier for you to survive!

Improve Your Skills

Applying poison to your weapon is very important for defeating your enemies. You can weaken your enemies by using poisons. This move will let you improve your Ninja and Omnyo skills.

Be Careful When Choosing a Yokai Type
