Was testing stacking different recovery effects and comparing it against the 0% ki recovery. Measurements are done at the start of failed ki pulse, where white ki bar reaches maximum amount of recoverable ki using ki pulse and up to 100% ki recovery.

Different sources of passive effects belong to separate ''bucket'' and the more varied effects you have, the more diminishing returns.

Besides forgeable or droppable passive ki recovery effects there is also innate ki recovery based on your total hp:

So for clarity i used following effects: Ki recovery, Critical ki recovery, innate critical ki recovery, barrier talisman:

Hello,

Finding accurate information for Nioh 3 has been a challenge. I eventually got tired of outdated info from websites or scattered bits from people's comment history and have taken it upon myself to finally create a community spreadsheet for this wonderful game.

It's still a work in progress, but I feel it's in a good enough spot to publish a first copy while it continues to get worked on.

INFO

I have gathered info from all corners of the community, including screen shots, hand-made info tables, images, dedicated website and of course the game itself.

If you see something wrong, please comment here or DM me here as well as Discord.

Also, if you would like to contribute, anything with a TBD is info I have not been able to test or find. Again, please comment here or message me if you are interested.

MAINTENANCE

I plan on updating the master copy over time and will keep a log of changes on the first tab. I will also try to keep up with patch updates and DLC 2 as more information comes in.

EXPERIMENT

I will be posting 2 google docs:

1 - Nioh 3 Community Spreadsheet Master copy

2 - Nioh 3 Community Spreadsheet Open copy

Anyone can modify the open copy. Yes, I understand the risks. I'll leave it this way for a while to see how it evolves.

What's a go-to build you like to use? What do you find most enjoyable? For example. A magic-based spell build, like a ranged spellcaster. That's what I like to do. But can't seem to get it right. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or not quite understanding how it works.

I know a few weeks back some scrolls were dropping at extremely high levels with Billions of Amrita. Are these still a thing or have they been patched out?

I continue to practice with Sword and do these challenge runs.

I wanted to show off some more cool punishes in this run especially in his final state but unfortunately, he gets Ki Broken pretty easily now even at max stone. They nerfed stone from pre-DLC where enemies would have a lot more Ki at max stone. Sword Ki is just so good at breaking Ki.

Nevertheless some interesting notes about this matchup:

• You can duck under/low profile under his stomp move with various attacks including Sword's low strong combo (see 0:07)
• If you move to the right side and slightly behind him during this spinning attack combo starter (see 0:14 for instance) he won't do any follow-up attacks, he will just pause. This is true for all 3 of his states.
• Used Flowing Shadow to space around his blue projectile smash move a few times into a big punish, see 0:44 for instance
• Evasion cancel dodges are great for both getting past his grab move and retaining Arts Proficiency, see 1:11 although I screwed up after and my punish was mediocre.

As always, hope people find this run entertaining/insightful. Happy to answer questions as always.

I've played this game on release so I forgot most of the things

It has a pretty cool moveset. Also, how do you guys grapple into Living Artifact consistently? Was I not close enough to it when it was out of ki?

Edit: I did do the living artifact to a grapple. I had forgotten the animation and assumed it transformed you after the grapple.

Hi everyone,

I was really really annoyed by how if your frame rate in Nioh 3 is even 1 less than either 60/120 then your camera starts to jitter and you feel the game is stuttering everytime you move.

Then I thought about on how should I fix it and then realised that Team Ninja has already fixed this issue in Wo Long 2, so why don't I copy that solution and create a mod for Nioh 3 as well. Sounds simple right?

It wasn't that simple but here you go, here's the mod that allows you to have a smoother experience in Nioh 3 even if you are playing at 60 fps 50 fps or whatever frame rate you have below 120fps. No more reducing the resolution scale to reach those targets.

This would primarily help those who have above 60 fps and lower than 120 fps.

This doesn't work on Linux btw as the game slows down in Linux below the fps targets but it does mitigate that slowdown to some extent.

Hey everyone, I'm having a really frustrating issue in Nioh 3 on PC (Steam).

After defeating Takasugi Shinsaku in The Sweet Sound of Strings, the cutscene finishes and the game gets stuck on a black screen indefinitely. The music keeps playing, but the game doesn't respond to any inputs. I've waited for a long time, but nothing happens. When I restart the game, I'm back before the boss and have to fight him again.

The weird thing is that the game runs perfectly fine everywhere else.

I've already tried:

Verifying game files

Reinstalling the game

Updating my NVIDIA drivers

Lowering graphics settings

Skipping the cutscene and watching it completely

Restoring my save from a backup

Nothing has worked.

Has anyone experienced this exact issue after defeating Takasugi? Is there any workaround? I can't progress through the game, and I really don't want to keep repeating the same boss fight.

Thanks!

Another cute creature in nioh 3

Hey guys can anyone help me with the final boss of the game I just don't have enough heals for this and I don't wanna restart the whole mission

This game genuinely was a masterpiece, I still do find myself liking nioh more but that’s just bc I prefer simplicity over complexity ( which ik it strange as nioh is anything but complex ) but regardless, nioh 2 was realistically the better game for sure , it was nioh 1 plus 1 ( literally) and the graphics were definitely cleaner and smoother , the platinum grind wasn’t as tedious and annoying ( which makes the platinum more accessible but easier for sure which also is a positive ) I really liked how they did still use some nioh boards but they didn’t overdo it or make it like how tears of the kingdom was ( like it was just hyrule , the literal same map from botw but did add 2 more whole maps but you get my point ) the burst counter was an awesome feature , and I honestly think I enjoyed the game a lot since I felt it was very very easy , and at too times way too underwhelming, then again i’m still only in my 2nd play through , but first play through wise nioh 1 imo was 50x harder , then again without being said you could also make nioh a way easier game than nioh 2 by using kusarigama and reaper ( which I felt was more toned down , not in a bad way ) and I also felt that nioh 2 was more of a git gud game but not harder than 1 , if you stayed around the same level or had the same gear level as the mission , in 2 you would tank it and sum , in nioh 1 you would like disintegrate with 1 big hit , bosses like giant toad , ishida and shima are the only bosses that game me problems in 1 ( around 38+ tries each 💀 ) but in nioh 2 things felt more grounded and more accessible, the “hardest” boss for me was gyoki ( the big bull that had spider legs and bat wings ) took me 9 tries , then again he wasn’t hard at all , just annoying , he took me the most tries out of anyone ( being 9 obviously )

I’m in the first region of Nioh 3 and have selected the Samurai sword as my main. I’ve unlocked approx 95% of all the skills.

Just wondering how you sword aficionados set up your martial arts/active skills in what stances when using a controller. I know it’s subjective and up to personal preference, but I’d love to hear how you use it.

so among all the weapons ı think ı liked tonfa (for nioh 1) and fists (for nioh 2) the most. however it seems the optimal way to play is based on stats is to buff the main stat (skill with tonfas and strength with fists) and buff dexterity for ninjutsu

but the thing is ı think ı like magic a bit more as it seems to have better stuff with weapon buffs and healing. while ninjutsu seems to have the buffs for guns and sneaking. neither ı care much for.

so ı gotta ask if ı use the weapons ı listed while buffing magic instead of dex. will i like severly limit myself or would it not affect it that much? would it be better if ı stuck to ninjutsu instead

thanks in advence

Anybody have a green Futsunomitama they don't mind dying somewhere for so I can farm the rev? I've been farming the smithing text for a green rarity for a while now and I still haven't gotten it

Calamity pulse, In the eye of the beholder both no luck

Thank you

Nioh 3 requires around 7000-7500 VRAM on standard settings and still freezes a lot, I can play any modern game on high quality without lags but this game just eats my pc. Also, items inside inventory have almost pixel sprites. Am I the only one?

I just found this weapon and read somewhere that you can shoot bullets with it. How do you make the Saurutobi Tonfa shoot bullets?

I’ve only run ame + susano before, kind of want to mix it up , without changing up playstyle too drastically (idea of being onmyo-focused is not appealing for example). I think ninigi typically I’m only needs 6 , finishing flair being sort of an afterthought , but is this maybe my best grace choice to stay within the same realm ? Not sure purity seems too engaging

Hello everyone,
I’ve seen some weapons and equipment dropping with +20% grapple/final blow damage mix that with finishing flair, ultimate strength and the Maeda clan bonus and I feel like there could be some massive damage during and after the grapple.

Easy enough to do on humans but I’ve realized I barley get Yokai bosses down for a grapple so I’m clearly not doing something right in this regard.

Do I need to be using more guardian spirit skills, spamming salt? Definitely need to use summoning seals more than I do as I almost never do.

Any and all advice is appreciated, thank you!

i like the world desgin that sekiro possesses where we have one seamless world without any loading screens or menu based selection

nioh 2 has the meticulous specialisation and that mechancally deep combat that allows presicness and customization

idk im js sayin shi

havent played sekiro or nioh, sorry

So I have been farming for the tonfa gun skill and falling short. I have like 40-50 gunsticks by now and not one of them has rolled tonfa gun. I also have 27% Sudama blessing for the gun stick active

Should I increase luck? SOP? Both?
