Just 2 pieces gives all of your bullseye hits a large life drain effect.
Their blocking ability is mediocre, but they deal good stamina damage to a guarding enemy, called “Break”. This is my personal favourite weapon for a lot of the late-game. Dual Swords make up for the punch they lose on each hit with speed, which makes them good at imbuing statuses. But with that said, Fire is also a strong element in Nioh 2, which is where the Kamui comes in. It often has decent background abilities too, so could be worth equipping for any character.
While they have poor block, their break is decent, and their primary Magic scaling is unique. Tokagemaru is probably the most common Yokai weapon that you’ll find throughout the game, so luckily it’s a good one. If you like to zone out enemies and keep your distance, then the Spear could be the best starting weapon in Nioh 2 for you. Less damage less scaling D … Nioh 2 starts the brutal choices early: what are you going to choose as your starting weapon?

If big weapons and big damage numbers are your jam, along with heavy armour, then an axe might be your best starting weapon. A Kusarigama’s damage scales best with Dexterity, making it the true ninja’s choice by synergizing well with Ninjutsu techniques. This means they’re best teamed with another large weapon: the Odachi. The fast attack speed of the Dual Swords builds statuses quickly, which is useful against the stronger Yokai enemies. Armour in Nioh 2 is protective equipment that can be found or crafted and equipped to unique slots.Nioh 2 armor is divided into 5 categories: Head Armour, Torso Armour, Arm Guards, Leg Guards and Foot Guards.Each piece of equipment has a level, weight, durability and multiplier assigned to it, apart from additional status effects that the equipment can apply.

However patient play will more than make up for this. There aren’t that many special weapons when it comes to bows, but if you want an archery focused build then there’s only one place to look: the Master Archer’s Bow.
Whereas the Yin-Yang Tonfa deal extra water damage. In Nioh 2, spear users are really annoying to face because their keep away and rushing game is so strong.

Only a few parts of the set give bonuses to life, damage and melee damage, with automatic health recovery effect, the more parts you equip.However, if you are a true Copy Fan, you will most likely choose Mataza’s Long Spear, which is included in the Master Copy set at the end of the game. The Demon’s Axe Purity counterpart is the Evil-Crusher Hammer. However, if you’re a true fan of the Spear, then you will likely go with Mataza’s Long Spear, which in the late game forms part of the Master of Spears set.
They have good break and block and often come with elements ready imbued onto the weapons themselves. The natural instinct is to save it for a tough enemy or an emergency, but when your Spirit stat is 20+ you'll be getting it back so frequently that you might as well use it whenever.

The basic Hand Cannon can have a variety of special effects which make it useful, however the Yorhu Cannon often comes with the interesting Auto-Target Weak Point Effect, which is fun. If you like to weave shots into your general combat style rather than picking Yokai off with headshots, then this is a good option. Outside of that your best bet is the Borehole Bow, which tends to come with hefty special effect buffs to arrow damage.
