Nioh 2 - Katana Build - Master Swordsman
Ойындар
Master the lethal arts of the samurai as a mysterious half-human, half-supernatural Yokai warrior, in this challenging action RPG sequel.
Explore violent Sengoku-era Japan and the deadly Dark Realm, both plagued with grotesque, merciless demons.
Unsheathe your deadly weapons and cut down all enemies in your path using a revamped combat system and the ability to transform into a full Yokai to unleash devastating paranormal powers.
Sharpen your skills
Prepare for the fight of your life with revamped mechanics that build on the fan-favorite elements of Nioh, requiring your full concentration and skill.
Choose your method of combat
Follow the way of the samurai with traditional weapons including swords and hatchets, or fill your Amrita gauge to wield mighty Yokai abilities and destroy monstrous foes via a variety of mighty attacks.
Improve your weapons with the Yokai Shift
Filling your Amrita gauge doesn’t just give you access to a powerful Yokai form, but also allows you to increase the stats of various weapons and add extra buffs, such as staggering foes and grappling downed enemies.
Help - and get help - from other players
Call upon the spectres left behind by other Nioh 2 players to aid you in combat. Their spirits will assist you until the end of the current level… or until they’re defeated.

This was a fun build to be in stream with while you were making. Great to see one that's not singular mastery
Cheers for the Video - lvl 180 at the min and dont have everything that you do in the video but have most or lower lvl versions of what you do and had to mid/max my builds and temper a few to get it at a sweet spot. Without you’re video I dont think I would have made a decent armour and attack set. Thanks again
This build claps cheeks. Thanks for putting up these build up so i have some idea of what to go for to prep for dlc. Love ur content.
Probably the closest thing to a Isshin roleplay build, neat, can't wait to try it out.
Thanks for all the great builds. I'm going to try this one next while I max out swords.
I seriously hope there’s a Nioh 3, I will continue to play these games as long as they keep coming out. Hopefully they update the game engine and graphics for the next one tho Team Ninja has something special here and I think they should keep cranking these out until more souls fans and samurai/ninja rpg fans start catching onto its awesome combat system

the game reminds of onimusha. 1st game you play as a human and 2nd game you play as half yokai. you beat demons and take souls to level. some bosses are also hit like a truck if not careful.
Mr. Cowboy thank you for the explicit guidance, which was very useful!
Awesome content. I'm glad to see new build videos. I am new to Nioh in general so I have died many times. Your tip videos have helped a lot.

Dude, thank you. I know I’m late to the Nioh 2 party here. But I’d be unable to get the most out of Nioh and Souls like games without your channel. I got platinum on Sekiro bc of your vids. You’re the best man!
This is definitely powerful af and I’m not even in NG+ yet. Thanks bro
Your character looks like what would happen if solid snake was transported into the Nioh dimension.
I watched both the stream vods of you making this build and was just in disbelief the whole time, since I basically went through an identical process a few days ago. Tried Kingo, tried Isanagami with water, ended up with Yatagarasu + Master Swordsman + Tengen. In the end my build ended up being like 90% the same as you did. I found myself going "yeah, that's exactly what I thought too!" constantly throughout the stream vods. Makes me feel good to see that my own buildcrafting has evolved to a level where my logic flows in a similar way to yours. I ended up going lightning to slow down enemies for easier Iai Quickdraw hits. You've taught me a ton about Nioh 2 and can't wait for more videos and streams, keep up the good work!

Awesome build brother. Nice to see a more unique Katana build.
I had always pegged sword being a boring weapon, never really liked it that much in the first nioh but this video really shows how versatile it can be and I'll definitely be trying it out when I get to new game plus
New to the channel. New to Nioh2. Started this past Monday. You've helped me alot. I'm currently farming Formal Match for Amrita.
been waiting for this!
@fightinCowboy beautiful... you truly are a master of Min /Max bravo and thank you
Great content as usual Cowboy !
I just started playing this a few days ago, I need my kenjutsu like this
Build looks great i was following on the livestream i roll with the gallant + master swordsman and use night rain as my main active instead of quickdraw for me it gets off faster and seems to do more cumulative damage because of the notes i got from your ninja build
Thanks for this vid. I took inspiration from it and crafted an Atagi Sadamune with the same effects you got. But instead of this swordsman set, I am going with Justice Ministry set which gives 9% melee damage for 5 pcs with Yasakani, which is higher than the attack and defense + 50 you get with your set. Added Atagi for the 100 life bonus and a great kanemitsu as 2nd weapon for Onmyo austerity.
Best channel ever! What is that chest piece refashioned with? I went through all the sets and couldn't find it. Outstanding work with the builds Cowboy, many thanks!
This game is so complicated that I need videos like this.

I fun build to attempt would be a ranged hachet throwing build, Im attempting to make one now and would love to see your take on one
Fightingcowboy your builds are amazing working my through nioh2 and loving this game more and more
slashing right between an opponents attack is the satisfying thing in this game don’t @ me
Just commenting because it helps your channel
A handy idea for the helmet buff would be to quick slot some yokai water pots to toss if you ever want to get that buff going right before a fight and you dont have a yokai pool available. Also, I have to go farm that lesser umi bozu soul core so I'm running the water Oni Bi for now. The anima bonus on elemental attack its giving me on top of it helping proc saturation (not as good as the Umi water shot though) is pretty bananas. Did you happen to give the oni bi a try first so I can get some advice on which you think is better in the long run between the two?
I wonder how well this build holds up to this day, I'm gonna get the game so I'm looking for fun builds to chase

Love your walk-throughs brother can you please drop a revenant of this build I just started ng+ and I'm kind of struggling here.
Haven't been able to follow along with this game so I was wondering; Now that you have had a chance to really play the game, Do you have a favorite weapon pairing?
I prefer master swordsman with 99 heart + genmei and 99 magic. Yatagarasa doesn’t bring enough to the table. Using Genmei instead and maxing heart and magic (and using the kusa that reduces yokai ability cooldown) makes you a god.
Thanks so much for the build, fightincowboy!!! Any other elements that I can consider using on this build?

Is there an updated one for the new DLC? I haven't figured what weapon I wanna use between sword and dual sword yet. But can't decide because there's not enough updated new builds.
i thought it was christmas when i looked at my box and seen a shitload of warrior of the east gear...... then i realised i needed warrior of the west.
So I know this video is like 9 months old but what stance do you primarily use for this?
Is there a particular reason why Cowboy always uses Ryomen as an example boss? Like does it have crazy defenses, or is it the fact that there's no "back" to it?
So quick question I’m making a katana build and I’m kinda stuck on what I should dump my stats into. Like I wanna use light armor but I ain’t tryna get one shotted and I wanna use medium armor but I don’t know how much points I need to put into strength(if that’s the right stat)
For fashion I think justice ministry matches better for arms and greaves because they’re black and blue.
Hey bro, how's that you not getting damage from iai quickdraw in high stance when it's paired with raging strike?
Can you do a guide on farming omnyo proficiency? I cant find any reliable video that say which jutsu to use
Kinda new,just started dotd. I have not seen quick draw damage stat yet. Hes decked out with it.
How did you inherit both lai quickdraw on attack on all your gear?
Is there a skill that boosts attack based on how many positive and negative effects you have active?
You got me worried now about poison getting nerfed both my builds r toxic! Maybe this or the spin to win build next then 🤔
I know you said i could go any element and mentioned how to build with poison but can i do this with fire? If so how would i do that?
What are the odds of the iai quickdraw inheritables? Because I have spent hours just forging and reloading saves trying to get it to no luck. And trying to farm revenants isn't helping either cause i go to what people claim are popular revenant spots and I am lucky If I find 1 revenant throughout the entire mission let alone multiple with useful gear.
Sorry but what is this orange inheritable everyone's been mentioning? Ik it benefits to your build somehow and it comes from farming revenants (as from what I've heard
Hey there, didn't play nioh 2 for while now. Is this build still viable for dream of the demon/wise? :)
Is Tachi Arts I, II, III not good for sword as a main weapon? It sounds good but I never see anyone using it...
