Nioh: 6 Essential Tips & Tricks You Need To Know

5. Press The Attack When You Can

There’s certainly a mental hurdle to overcome when faced with some of the challenges that Nioh throws at the player in the first few hours, and overcoming these through the KI Pulse is the first step in becoming a more aggressive and daring player.

The comparisons are well and truly already out there, so I’ll just go ahead and bring up Dark Souls for the first time. Although Nioh has been compared to Dark Souls, the latter series always placed a certain emphasis on defensive play, guiding the player towards backing off and studying an enemy’s attacks, while waiting for the opportune moment to dive into the fray.

However, Nioh is no such game, placing an emphasis on attack instead of defence through the KI Pulse ability. As such, both understanding this ability and not being too intimidated to press the attack go hand in hand in the ability of the player to better understand the game of Nioh.
