Your endgame builds...

[ビールとキノコ]

Write your endgame builds here with playstyle expl
I've played just about 200h and tried iza+imperial ward, magatsushi+crime of patricide
I don't use susa, because I'm kinda noob. And I don't like pure casting playstyle with ninjutsu and onmyo magic. So I want see different endgame builds maybe coop or all-weapon oriented

[⭕TheSodaman]

My favorite was:
7-piece Shinatsuhiko, 6-piece One-Eyed Dragon's Ambition, Axe (meme build, couldn't fight well against yokai bosses with it), Honda clan.

Except I couldn't defeat a Depths-level yokai with that build with any consistency.

All of these had elemental damage taken (guarding) inherited to 100%, often with a starred damage taken on the chest and legs, tempered elemental damage taken on the chest, with life recovery (amrita absorption) usually on the chest and magatama-related accessories, and Ultimate Courage on a scroll. And if I used an axe, it was almost always Shuten Doji's Club.

The others that I could more consistently:

5 Onmyou Austerity / 7 Oyamatsumi / 2 Shinatsuhiko

1. 5-piece Onmyou Austerity+ w/ 7-piece Oyamatsumi and 2-piece Shinatsuhiko (though 6-piece Oyamatsumi and 3-piece Tsukuyomi is popular a.k.a. the Brick Breaker), Sloth (onmyo magic hit) on an accessory, purity weapon at the time - would switch to corruption weapon now with Sentience Charge on accessories/scroll if I tried again, using water/lightning familiars, Kasha soul core, Ultimate Constitution and Ultimate Magic

7 Magatsuhi / 6 Oyamatsumi

2. 6-piece Oyamatsumi, 7-piece Magatsuhi, with Hairy Caterpillar Helmet and Veteran Armor, corruption weapon, Onryoki soul core attunement limit -1, life drain yokai ability hit A or higher, Inosasao guardian spirit, Kato clan, anti-toxin pill, fire stop talisman, Sentience Charge, Ultimate Constitution

7 Acala / 6 Susanoo

3. 7-piece Acala, 6-piece Susanoo with one purity weapon and one corruption weapon, Shockwave onmyou talisman, Rokugezo guardian spirit, Honda clan with the Wild Boar Crest Helmet in case I screwed up, Ultimate Skill using mid-stance,

6 Oyamatsumi / 3 The Bold and the Boorish / 3 Ninigi / 3 Takeminakata

4. 6-piece Oyamatsumi with Hairy Caterpillar Helmet and Veteran hands and feet, 3-piece The Bold and the Boorish for chest and legs with starred Damage Taken, 3-piece Takeminakata, 3-piece Ninigi, tempered Toughness, Scroll with damage taken + Ultimate Constitution + Sentience Charge, accessories with Sentience Charge, Inosasao / Genbu, axe (though dual swords would fit into what I was doing), Onryoki + Skeletal Warrior soul cores, Wisteria Longbow / Kunitomo Rifle / Crimson Hand Cannon, anti-toxin pill, fire stop talisman, and Uesugi clan with yokai water pots.

7 Izanagi / 6 Oyamatsumi

5. 7-piece Izanagi, 6-piece Oyamatsumi, Uesugi clan, Inosasao / Genbu guardian spirits, Onryoki soul core attunement limit -1 + Kasha soul core + Scampuss (because I couldn't fit anymore), Tatarimokke soul core on second guardian spirit stacking Anima Bonus Purification (one randoma nd one Itsumade) and yokai water pots just in case

Outro

I'm sure there's stuff I'm missing here. I did try some 7-piece Ninigi / 6-piece Susanoo build with Maeda clan where I think that led to my personal highest single damage dealt. Though I didn't function too well against yokai.

I didn't have the play skill to sustain 7-piece Ame-no-Uzume / 6-piece Susanoo, e.g. I have a tendency to block which cost me the Ame-no-Uzume stacks and put me a in dangerous position. Was easier for me to manage against yokai, but I didn't adapt to human bosses with this.

Thanks a lot! I find pretty interesting this two builds. So I'm going to try them in action

why the firestop talisman tho? The most annoying bosses are the nightmare bringer and the lightning gods of yomi, while the fire-based bosses are a minor threat (shutem, ryomen, enenra). I always keep two lightningtop talismans in case those two bosses show up, plus the daion jin sake of course.

For most of the builds where I'm using Oyamatsumi, the half damage taken at full life effect can cease with a single tick of poison or fire, even between the Ultimate Constitution, life drain, and recovery effects. Levitation is nice from ninjutsu to avoid the puddles on the ground, but some enemies still find ways to land the effect.

Lightning Stop talismans do make its way into my arsenal, but I often don't realize I'm missing it between all my mismanaged saved build / saved equipment hopping until I go to use the slot for it during a lightning boss and it's some other item/jutsu. Where some things, I tend to notice within the first attempt that I forgot to re-assign it.

And I say mismanaged, because I haven't gone back to update all the active skills, the soul cores, jutsu, sometimes a farming accessory instead of a main accessory, and other things that I should just sit down and tidy up to save time in the future.

[Cinnamon Toast King]

My build I based very closely to this with a few personal tweaks like using fists instead of switchglaive and minor changes to the scroll, and a swap of a core and stats here and there I use corruption instead of purity. But for sake of keeping things short its by far the best build in this game in my opnion.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph-Ed6F7BNM&t=391s

I have solo'd, no Kodama buff, +9 penance, with their almost exact build and even easier with my own personal tweaks. Unless I choose to absolutely eat every attack or certain oneshot moves I am unkillable. Unless I use +9 penance, everything in the game is a joke if I somewhat try and pay attention. If you can get every weapon with the same grace and similar stats you are freely able to use what you want. I will switch out the "main" weapon with whatever I feel like if I am not in depths (since you should know how to use your weapon very well in depths to get far with it as this build isn't 100% do what I want). But if you know the bosses very well then this game will be more of a cake walk then ever!

I see way to many builds when seeing videos or helping players through the depths that fall apart once they die since they need to many buffs up again. With this at worst if I am about to die as long as I get one of the familiars off again and proc all the debuffs on the boss I can get back into the groove with no buffs on me. It will be somewhat of a struggle but if I play less "careless" I can solo Nightmare Bringer with just a single familiar.

6 Oyamatsumi / 3 The Bold and the Boorish / 3 Ninigi / 3 Takeminakata

4. 6-piece Oyamatsumi with Hairy Caterpillar Helmet and Veteran hands and feet, 3-piece The Bold and the Boorish for chest and legs with starred Damage Taken, 3-piece Takeminakata, 3-piece Ninigi, tempered Toughness, Scroll with damage taken + Ultimate Constitution + Sentience Charge, accessories with Sentience Charge, Inosasao / Genbu, axe (though dual swords would fit into what I was doing), Onryoki + Skeletal Warrior soul cores, Wisteria Longbow / Kunitomo Rifle / Crimson Hand Cannon, anti-toxin pill, fire stop talisman, and Uesugi clan with yokai water pots.

I couldn't recommend the second one. While you'll survive a LOT of stuff, it favors using an attack or a yokai ability to mitigate damage. And if you want to avoid getting destroyed, you may need to use a hyper armor attack (spear's Triple Thrust, a lot of axe moves in high stance, Odachi Moonlit Snow - but not Redux, etc.)

Because if you don't hyper armor, you can flinch / get interrupted during an attack. And if the enemy touches you immediately after that, you won't have the damage taken halved at full life or the damage taken (mid-attack), which can slay you. So you'll have a very narrow window to use a yokai ability to get the damage taken (mid-attack) going to survive.

It also creates a really bad play habit that makes it harder to play non-face tank builds.
