When selecting a Scythe to use it’s important that you prioritize the damage on the weapon above all else. Switchglaive scales off of Magic, Constitution and Skill, so gains the most scaling from this sort of setup, and it has some trick moves that are really cool when executed properly. I personally really like the Switchglaive for this Build, and that’s what I’m going to cover in this Build Guide, but you can also use Hatchets if you’d prefer. Golden Scythe Weapons, Armor & Accessoriesīecause you will have a ton of points invested into Magic and Constitution it makes sense to use Weapons that scale off of these. You will also need a modest amount of points into Stamina and Strength in order to meet the requirements for the Master Archer’s Armor, which is the Golden Boy Set, and becomes available around level 40. Constitution and Skill are secondary, and you can manage these how you desire, but I prefer dumping most points into Constitution since this is a tanky Build and you will be getting hit. Of these three Magic is the most important in order to maximize both your Switchglaive and Onmyo Magic Damage. Magic increases your Onmyo Magic and Switchglaive Damage, Constitution increases your Health and damage with the Switchglaive, and Skill increases a variety of Stats along with your Switchglaive, Bow and Rifle Damage. The Golden Scythe uses three main Stats: Magic, Constitution and Skill. This Build is extremely Ki hungry, and if you don’t Ki Pulse you’ll be dead pretty quickly. Then you move into melee when appropriate, and hack away until they die, ALWAYS remembering to Ki Pulse. This slows the attacks and Movement Speed of the enemy and increases your Melee Damage by +20% against them, which is not a small amount. Having isolated the tougher Yokai enemy, you will hit it with Lightning Shot Talisman a time or two to set the Electrifed Status Effect. The way this Build works is that you usually begin by picking off enemies with your Bow, since you will have increased Bow Damage from the Golden Boy set. This is important because the Switchglaive doesn’t always have the fastest moveset, especially when in High Stance, which you will use frequently as it’s vertical attack hits the weakspot of many Yokai. Because this Build uses Heavy Armor, you can tank hits and keep on swinging, taking drastically reduced damage while not being interrupted. The Golden Scythe Build uses a combination of Lightning Onmyo Magic and deadly combos and Skills to take down enemies from point blank and at range. Nioh 2 Builds: Golden Scythe (Switchglaive) This Build will be updated as I reach higher levels of the game and more equipment becomes available. This is a starter Build meant for players just beginning Nioh 2, or for those that are early on in the game and are having trouble. I’ll be showing you where to place your Stat and Skill Points to get the maximum impact for this Build, as well what equipment to use, and which Guardian Spirit and Soul Cores to have. In this Nioh 2 Build Guide I’m going to show you how to play as a Mage/Tank that uses Lightning to buff its attacks and deal damage to enemies.
