Revenants | nioh Wiki

These bastards sure love to read your inputs. Guard up and you'll have a staring contest all day. The animation of you lowering your weapons doesn't even finish and they're already wailing on you. No human can do that. I love artificial difficulty

Are revenants classed as "human" or as "yokai"?

I have been playing Nioh for 10 hours. At this point, it is easy to kill all revenants thus far. All you need is 1 skill point in "kick" of your weapon of choice. then bait out attacks from revenants and block them. ALL REVENANTS SPAM ATTACKS WITHIN RANGE. in other words, keep blocking and they will kill their own ki. All you need to do at this point is use kick (L1 + square) and you get a free grapple. rinse repeat. Guarantees revenant kill. Note: it is general better to block 1 combo's worth, then attack and recover ki, THEN block until you can kick them out. Depending on the weapon type, you will be out of ki too by the time they are out, so you only really need one ki pulse to imbalance your ki's to finish the job. This may be confusing to read, but yeah just block every thing and then use kick to advance and grapple. the rest will come to you naturally.

As a Ninja with mobility movement A bonus, I often press X to jump into range of them attack with heavy or light (usually heavy) and then dodge back again. The AI that governs the revenants is better then the mob AI but it doesn't really know when to preemptively block. Attacking twice isn't recommended as they will block and no damage will get though. With this method you can deal damage and safely retreat. Chip away at them to your hearts content.

Note - I use the Kusaiagama

I stumbled across a hassle free and 2 second method for slaying revenants when I was lower level, using a shuriken to make them guard, then firing off a Mizuchi summon talisman. This knocks every revenant flat, which is an easy way to get in a stab on the ground. Very few survived, and those that did got a combo from behind. Are there any other good options for this? Obviously there's the counterattack route.

Has anyone else found a guy named Isono Heisaburo? I fell on him and killed him. He then said something about wanting to see nanba again and left behind a revenant grave which said "Impaled by william". This was in A Defiled Holy Mountain mission.

Thank you for making this!

Honestly I feel like the revenant system makes gearing up way to easy, espacially in ng+ where everyone has full green gear.
There is basically no more reason to use the smithing in the game (which i liked), only one player needs to craft the perfect gear and it will spread to every other player over time like a *****ing Epidemic.

Weird issue with player revenants lately, getting weapon and armor drops from them with completely blank special effects pages even though they're Blue and Purple rarity.

Is there a record somewhere of your revenants' win/loss? Any rewards for a winning revenant?

Submit

I think I just discovered that any armor you get from a revenant will not be able to be refashioned onto other armor if you didn't have it already also any set armor you get from a revenant will not give their set bonuses

Im too lazy to make an account, but basically the item drop rate of the gear that the revenant is carrying is lower the higher the rarity of the weapon. It feels like this because ive met (until now) 10 people with one blue item and 5 purple, and my luck gave me the blue item instead. I dont know if the item piece itself has a "special" droprate or if the category has a specific droprate(head/weapontype/chest/boots/etc.). But my guess would be that if all gear has the same droprate and all gear is the same colour... You would only have around a 16.66 ℅ roulette chance (or what i should call it). Basically a 16.66℅ chance that it would be the item you want. Im going to fight about 100 of them and see how many drop ochoko cups and give a new feedback on that later.

Sincere ~ NMC.
