how do I git gud at this?I keep resigning to wainting for a punish window and hitting a heavy attack with odachiotherwise, when trying to combo, as no enemy in this game can be staggered besides trash pirates, I always get hit during attack animationso I just in the end tend to play it safe, but it's so boring and long and I feel like I'm missing something important to make it more fun
>>750635576Odachi is already easy mode, just walk sideways or backwards a bit and hold heavy attack while in overhead stance
high ki damage with repeated attacks is a lot more important than safe and slow strong attacks.No shit you feel like nothing gets steggered. A kick from the katana string does more ki damage than most blocked odachi attacks.>get hit during attack animationLow stance let you cancel out of attacks.
>>750635576Bosses or normal enemies as that mattersand yokai enemies or human enemies as that also matters
>>750635576Watch what other people are doing.
I never got good. I just used onmyo, ninjustu and ranged weapons to compensate for being bad at combat. If you super suck I'd recommend maining the two easy mode weapons kusarigama and axe, both have simple to understand heavy high attacks.
its crazy how nioh 3 killed itself and all discussion of it
>>750638606Centralizing gameplay on free parries was a big mistake
>>750635576Skip to 2.
>>750635576>as no enemy in this game can be staggered99% enemies that are either your size or smaller than you can be staggered. When you see a normal size skeleton you can just beat him up as long as your Ki can last. Some enemies like pic related or umbrellas require you to hyper-aggressively staggerlock them with constant attacks or otherwise they become a problem.Mid-sized and bigger enemies can't be staggered until their ki is 0 and human enemies can block. With bigger demons its all about hitting the yellow spot which permanently cripples their maximum Ki.
