If you want to hit your enemies from a safer distant than most of the other weapons, then you might want to try these out. They might not be super fast, but they can cover ground that most other weapons just can’t. Spears are all about the reach, both horizontal and vertical. They have a C+ in Heart, a D+ in Strength and a B+ in Skill. However, their speed is very useful when you want to inflict a status ailment if your specific weapon allows it. They’re faster than most weapons, but not as strong in terms of numbers.

You’d think that two swords instead of one would be stronger, but the Dual Swords are your equivalent to dagger-type of weapons in other games. In terms of stat scaling, Swords have a B+ in Heart, a C in Strength and a C in Skill. Some might find them a little bit dull compared to the other options, but you can never go wrong with a Sword. With decent range, decent speed and decent damage, this weapon type doesn’t excel at anything but rather it’s a useful all-rounder. The Sword is the most basic of weapon types in Nioh 2. All of them receive a damage boost based on three different stats, and depending on which weapons you end up favoring, you might want to lean towards those specific stats. Still, it is important to know how each weapon type scales with your stats. In the long run, that bonus doesn’t mean much since you’ll be leveling up quite fast, and you will be able to find the weapons you don’t pick almost immediately. The game lets you try out all of the weapon types for a little bit before deciding, and each weapon type gives you a different bonus of +1 to a specific stat. Weapon Types and Stat Scaling: know your weaponsĪt the beginning of the game, you can pick your first two weapons. You can always equip two weapons at a time, so take all of this into consideration in order to build your perfect yokai slayer. This all feeds into your character development and eventually picking the best build and weapon combination for your character, as you'll of course ultimately be using a pair of weapons. With so much variety, it’s important to know what each weapon does and how do they scale with your stats. As if that wasn’t enough, the stance system means every weapon has three different ways in which you can use them! Nioh 2 even adds all the weapon types from the first game’s DLC and some completely new types. Like we said in our review, there’s a wide variety of weapons for you to choose from, each one with their pros and cons.
