Set Bonuses

Set Bonuses in Nioh are found on select Weapons and Armor through out the game. Wearing pieces of these Sets will provide numerous bonuses to the player.

Note A: You must meet the requirements of a piece of Armor in order to get the bonuses to work.

Below is a list of known Sets that confer bonuses in Nioh. These effects can increase in effectiveness depending on the level of the armor pieces used.

The Yasakani Magatama will allow you to lower the armor set bonus requirement by 1.
Weapons and Armor that otherwise don't have set bonuses, may acquire set bonuses if the items are Ethereal (requires Way of The Wise)
These Ethereal Set Bonuses appear at random on weapons and armor without inherent Set Bonuses, and don't follow any particular pattern or order.

  A set that is bonus to magic can only be obtained during playthrough 4? and the game biased some weapons with set bonus while other weapons have nothing. Wow this game is wow. No wonder it is not as popular as Dark Souls. Also no wonder this website do this game wiki because it has dark souls element and not because they like the game lol

  Question: if i get two Accessoires and each makes Set requirements - 1. Would this mean that You only need to wear 4 pieces of kingo to get the whole Set Bonus? Because if that Would be like this You could make an awesome katana/dual katana build: kingo 4 pieces, warrior of West (sword and bow would grant u 4 pieces Bonus) and righteous strategy dual katana and armor piece.
  
  So You would gain like 40 % ccd and perfect skill damage from behind with tigersprint and the other skill.
  
  So, is this possible?
  
  Thx

  The set piece bonuses have levels, the levels depend on the equipped item level, therefor the bonuses change.

  The 7 piece bonus sacrifices the bonus damage you get from attacking the back of an enemy.
