Which Skills You Should Get First

If you prefer to simply use dual swords there are quite a few skills that can increase your damage per second (DPS) against foes. One of the most notable skills, at least early on in Nioh, is the accurately named Random Slice. This ability allows you to charge forward and strike wildly in front of you with both swords until you’re either hit or run out of stamina. This move may seem cumbersome at first, but since you can be confined to some pretty tight corridors, Random Slice turns William into a massive wall of death.

Living Water: Man is more of a utility skill than one directly tied to your dual swords. Activated only in the Mid stance, players can Ki Pulse while dodging. Since Nioh’s combat is pretty fast-paced, being able to always be on the move while fighting is a fantastic bonus. Since the dual swords are more focused on speed, being able to constantly refresh your Ki while dodging means you can follow up attacks easier.

Finally, if you have a few left over Skill Points left, then Windstorm might be worth picking up. This ability allows William to spin around like a helicopter and strike in every direction for a brief period of time. Since enemies really like to ambush you during battle, Windstorm can let you hit targets from behind while you are fighting an enemy in front of you.
