Thank you I appreciate that! And fists are definitely a favorite weapon of mine

Welcome to the Nioh 2 community and honestly there’s nothing wrong with experimenting early game because late game you’ll definitely want to focus on a main weapon for build crafting

Thank you that’s much appreciated and if you haven’t completed the first difficulty yet I would hold off on a build until after that

@@KingRedDiamondGaming I am in new game plus. Just never did a fist build.

Oh ok well since you’re that far along try to get to the last mission eye of the beholder and a Yasakani magatama will drop so you can actually start a build. And doing an early fist build would be tough since most of the sets for that weapon are in NG++ and later

@@KingRedDiamondGaming cool beans, thanks for the tips

No problem

Try not to fight more than one enemy at a time…before going in to any area clear as many as you can with a bow or rifle and if you can’t help it try to keep them all in front of you at all times to control the fight….and karasu tengu is weak to Lightning and purity so that should help

Thank you I really appreciate it…I’m glad I could help! 🙏🏼

No problem and thank you for the feedback but you can use whatever element you like really…I prefer purity because it’s the easiest to apply to any enemy

That is a grapple. It’s called Izuna drop. It was added with the dlc

Thanks I really appreciate that! And honestly around that level a build wouldn’t matter as much, just because you should be around the Dream region of Dream of the Strong difficulty…you won’t even get your first Yasakani Magatama until after you beat the final mission, unless you got really lucky and it dropped already, the Yasakani is pivotal to a build so that’s a requirement before you make one…so you should just focus on maxing your stats first before putting a build together. And the fists can be as fast paced as the Tonfa but they’re very ki hungry the fists are made for end game play in my opinion.

@@KingRedDiamondGaming I have a yasakani and already knocked out the main quest line. I just made one for lightning. Warrior of west armor, lightning fist, and amo guardian and High stance attack guardian. Have shock accumulation but can't seem to get electrified dmg vs enemies and my accessories. I'm also doing heart main Stat, then con, some courage and some strength. Good start?

@@rightreap3612 ok well since you have a yasakani you can definitely throw a build together…and yea it’s definitely a good start…try not to blow through materials though, you’ll need them for when you start earning ethereal gear and by that point your divine gear builds will be obsolete. But the only way you’ll be able to get melee vs electrified is in dream of the Nioh because it’ll drop as star effect rolls on accessories…the only skills that can be tempered with melee vs, are poison and paralysis

@@rightreap3612 You can try to pair your warrior of the west with the golden boy set because that has melee vs electrified +20%

@@KingRedDiamondGaming awesome, I appreciate it. 👍

Since you’re still so early in the game anything you use at this time will be fine…I don’t usually recommend build crafting until you’ve beaten new game +…so dream of the strong…once you get to dream of the demon then you’ll start to see a lot more power and tankiness but for now just try your best to focus on leveling and getting as much Amrita as possible

@@KingRedDiamondGaming well tanking is my game style in basically all games also thank you for the amazing tip ill focus onto that for now and ill say i love to play a lot with using all the learnt skills to make mix ups even in betweeen weapons

You must have the Darkness in the Capital DLC

Every skill tree is already unlocked…in order to gain access to more skills you must simply use the weapon you want to unlock skills for…so if your main weapon is the sword just defeat enemies with it and you will gain skill points

@@KingRedDiamondGaming I should've clarified, but I meant specifically the fists/claws skill tree. It's missing from the menu at the beginning.

@@Lazenzzz ohh ok I see…in order to get the fists you have to have the Darkness in the Capital DLC

@@KingRedDiamondGaming Thank you! 🙏

You need to have the darkness in the capital dlc

You need the darkness in the capital dlc

@@KingRedDiamondGaming thanks

Only way to access them is to have the Darkness in the Capital DLC

@@KingRedDiamondGaming Okay I have the dlc but it only gave me access to the split staff but not the fists. I even ran through the first mission using only my bare hands. Am I doing something wrong? Or do they drop somewhere specifically.

Split staff is with the Tengu’s disciple DLC and the fist are part of the Darkness in the Capital DLC

@@KingRedDiamondGaming Ooooh okay, I feel like an idiot. I've now running through missions, just socking people and yokai in the mouth with my bare hands. The fact that their ki was going down faster made me think I was on the right path. "Damn they were right this ki damage is somethin' else, sucks I can't ki pulse but I'll just switch to tonfas for that and swap back. If I just pace myself and channel that souls' style gameplay I jump this skill gap." is how my thought process went. Thank you for clearing that up. I thought there was only one dlc because it was all what the main menu said was available. Turns out I had to go and search through the PS store.
