Today I wanted to test Tengen Kujaku, who in my opinion is the best guardian spirit in Nioh. What makes Tengen Kujaku the best guardian spirit in Nioh? Stats! For general increases to attack power, defense, and ki regeneration, Tengen Kujaku delivers more than any other guardian.
The reason this is so much better than other guardians is because of a certain passive stat in this spirit guardians arsenal. Bonus from amrita absorption basically gives you a buff depending on the stance you are in while receiving amrita.
High stance - Attack buff (in my tests it was around 60%)
Mid stance - Defense buff
Low stance - Ki Regeneration Buff (similar to sacred water)
These buffs alone can beat out some of the most offensive, defensive, and ki based guardians you can choose, but together they make Tengen Kujaku in a league of his own.
When paired with the carnage talisman the attack buff stacks to be over a 200% attack power increase! This is an absolutely absurd amount, and makes this spirit guardian easily the best in Nioh outside of infinite living weapon builds.

Today I want to talk about Onmyo magic power and Ninjutsu power points and how effective they are on increasing buffs and debuffs. Also I wanted everyone to know that after today in the 1.04 and 1.05 Nioh patch all players will receive the Gold Nioh Armor! Nothing too special about the armor other than all pieces have extra gold percentages and they have some decent set bonuses.
Getting into my testing, in my last video I tested the Power pill, carnage talisman, steel talisman, and weakness talisman. What I found was that it seems some enemies have resistances to the power-pill and Carnage talisman and would be a buff of one of two values. The steel talsiman and weakness talisman under-performed and this lead to some people asking me if Onmyo magic power points or Ninjutsu power points increased the amount of the buff.
To do my testing I used a book of reincarnation to clear my points. After I started on level 30 on Onmyo and Dexterity and tested the Power pill, carnage talisman, weakness talisman, devigorate talisman, and steel talisman. I continued to test every ten levels until I reached level 60.
This is what I found:
Power Pill- Increased damage from 21% at level 30 to 27% at level 60. 2% increase per ten levels.
Carnage talisman- Received no added benefit no matter the amount of points i put in. Stayed at 82% or 107% damage.
Steel talisman- A 6% damage reduction at level 30 and a .3% increase per level.
Weakness talisman- 13% increased damage flat.
Devigorate talisman- 55% damage reduction with a .3% increase every ten levels.
