Nioh: Complete Edition – Battle Tips & Tricks
/● Battle Tip: Watch the Ki Guage & Use Ki Pulse
Getting hit with an enemy attack while you have no Ki will put you in an exhausted state (unable to perform any actions). Be sure to watch your Ki Gauge as you fight. In addition, press RB after an attack as the blue light coalesces around you to trigger a Ki Pulse and recover some Ki instantly. On the other hand, if an enemy’s Ki Gauge is completely empty, you will have an advantage in the fight. Human enemies will become exhausted, and Yokai enemies will put a Guard Break effect on your weapon.
● Battle Tip: Skills & Items
Use Skill Points to learn various Skills. There are both active and passive skills for each weapon, as well as Ninja Skills and Onmyo Magic Skills which will come in handy on your journey as well. If you find you are having trouble with battles, take another look at your Skills.
● Battle Tip: Ranged Weapons
Master ranged weapons to gain an advantage in your fights. Weak human enemies will fall with one well placed shot to the head.
