The stamina bar is very important in NiOh.

In fact, the player should focus on it the most.

Without stamina, you might’t attack, dodge, or block.

The block in NiOh 2 is a very important defensive mechanic.

Most will tell you that it is better to dodge a powerful attack rather than block it.

It is nothing, but it can save a life.

Ki pulses are an important mechanic that allows you to restore a significant portion of your stamina during combat.

There are two ways to do them well.

The first way is to look at the stamina bar (green).

PC

Once you see a significant number of them, press R1 to restore your stamina.

Each of them has its pros and cons.

Medium stance is a well-balanced, but it is not the best damage-wise.

PC

However, it excels at blocking.

High stance is ideal for dealing the biggest damage but it is very slow.

This one is best suited for dealing with opponents with whom we have little chance of making multiple attacks.

PC

Anima is a new bar that is responsible for using the Yokai skills acquired during the game.

Amina can be obtained by attacking opponents, using special items, and using Yokai cores.

These skills will help you come out alive even from the biggest troubles, but they need Anima.

PC

This is very useful when you are afraid of losing a large amount of Amrita.

A bow, rifle, and hand cannon are perfect for this.

Always aim at the weak spots.

PlayStation

While fighting a Yokai, you should aim at the spots where Amrita is visible.

Usually in these cases, arrows/projectiles usually won’t fly at the enemy, but fly past them.

Attacking enemies from behind deals much more damage.

NiOh 2: The Complete Edition

This can save you time.

This will make us lose speed.

The game allows you to sacrifice items while praying in the temple.

In addition, there is a chance to get an additional item, such as a health potion.

By pressing the circle and triangle at the same time, we can activate the Yokai transformation.

The transformation gives us a separate health bar which is basically a timer.

In this form, our attacks are stronger.

In addition, the transformation process allows you to avoid various attacks.

We also have the ability to use the magic of our guardian spirit.

you could get Amrita by killing opponents or using crystals.

Burst Counter is a technique designed for countering such attacks.

However, you might use Burst Counter (R2 + circle) to counter it.

If we use it at the right time, the player will deal massive Ki damage.

However, this technique is worth one Anima point.
