Nioh Spear Skills
Which Skills You Should Get First
For the spear users in Nioh, you have a pretty nice complement of defensive and offensive skills to pick from. Two of the best skills early on are Twirl and Entangle, both of which are focused around knocking an opponent off balance. Twirl is your basic parry that ends in a shove, while Entangle is a sweep attack that knocks enemies to the floor. Both of these skills are fantastic defensive options, especially if you are looking for great ways to initiate attacks on more powerful samurais.
If you’re planning to go on the offensive, then Spear Shove is one of the best choices, as it knocks an enemy to the ground allowing you to follow up with some powerful strikes. The best part is that this skill works on any stance, meaning you can tailor the follow-up combo to your preferred fighting style. However, the flashiest skill is Flying Monkey as it rockets William into the air over an enemy after a combo is finished. If you can perfect the button prompts for this, it will allow smart players to finish a combo, jump over an enemy, and follow up with another set of strikes. Just make sure to Ki Pulse when you finish!
