This skill gathers the power of your charged attacks in Phantom form and multiplies the effect of weapons you throw. Phantasmic Burst is a Shiftling skill that is dropped by Otakemaru and Nightmare Bringer. This boss skill lets you power up your charged attacks and create a disastrous tornado. This skill lets you power up your charged attack and create four explosions in line.įerocious Gale is also dropped by Otakemaru and Nightmare Bringer. One of the Shiftling skills, Brutal Combustion is a disastrous skill that is dropped by Otakemaru and Nightmare Bringer. So if your Build has high Strength, consider using this Weapon type. The Odachi weapon type scales very well with Strength, but also has some scaling from Stamina and Heart. This weapon works in conjunction with the Odachi Skills skill tree. This skill lets you produce a magical blade of light which deals heavy damage. Ippon-Datara's Odachi is one of the Odachis and Yokai Weapons in Nioh 2. Luminous Blade Talisman is a usable item-summoning skill that is dropped by Ashiya Doman. This skill lets you ready Umbral Bullet scrolls that fires Ki bullets at enemies in a straight line. With something like 30-50 heart/courage, 50 stamina and 33 strength you should be able to get good damage out of Odachi AND axe. Umbral Bullet is also a usable item, which is dropped by Ren Hayabusa. It also lacks melee damage in its skill tree.Dropped by Ren Hayabusa, the scrolls of Flame Dragon let you summon a ring of fire around you that fires balls of flame. However, it lacks a high burst Ki damage option when you hit enemies, and the weapon itself is slow in general. Moonlit Snow and Moonlit Snow Redux are some of the Highest damage/ DPS Active skills in the game. Cuckoo's Call is an attack with Auto-Block, and can be extended to time it easier and can be done from blocking. Against human enemies you want to get them blocking, break their ki, hit the twice and hit them while they are on the ground. I go with high stance 95 percent of the time. Undaunted minimizes the Ki lost from blocking, and you can cancel the lengthy recovery by dodging when you release the move, or Ki pulsing if you have a Blessed Weapon/ Ultimate Strength. I felt the same way you do about Odachi, about the katana until I starting playing with it in Nioh 2 NG+. Swallow's Wing is similar to Swallow's Wing II for the sword, without the Agility requirement for the invincibility. Bolting Boar is a unique parry that works on nearly every enemy, including most Yokai. Special note goes to its Flash Attack, which does the most Ki damage and especially Break out of all of them. On top of being able to attack with mid stance attacks without them rebounding, you can also follow up your high break high stance attacks with quick or strong attacks from other stances, on top of having a natural guard breaking skill in Chasing Waves. There are two different scaling types for the Odachi: the more deeply curved blades have more equalized scaling with heart and stamina compared to the straighter ones.

The lowest amount of Melee damage in its skill tree, especially if you are fighting Yokai (the most common enemy type in the game).

Fairly Ki hungry if you use Waking Winds and Sunset Breeze.

Moonlit Snow Redux does a large amount of damage for how quick the attack is.

Its Flash Attack does a large amount of Ki damage, giving you more reach for Ki damage when used as an offhand weapon.

Good horizontal range and solid forward range on certain attacks.

Several unique defensive options between Bolting Boar, Cuckoo's Call, Undaunted and Swallow's Wing.

Mid stance attacks do not reflect on blocking enemies.

Great at pressinging blocking humans in general.

Odachi also works off the same stats as heavy armor so you wont need to divide up you.

Thats a good one for Odachi since you will most likely have 200 points in Stamina. The clan that gives you 2 more damage for every piece of heavy armor and Change to life Stamina. Second Highest break stat, with several attacks that destroy the Ki of guarding enemies. Originally posted by Just Aaron: I cant remember the names of any clans.Has the unique ability to chain strong and quick attacks from different stances together.A large, slow handling sword with wide reach that specializes in breaking guard and high damage.
