Clan Battles are extremely unbalanced

[Broso]

Red side is winning for like the 5th time in a row now. I thought which clan is on which side was supposed to change each weak. Statistically seen, that way both sides should be winning every now and then. So either the RNG is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ or the algorithm coming up with the distribution is doing something wrong.

[WAR]

You side with Toyotomi = auto-win, i remember the Clan war of Nioh 1 random better, red and white win each time more often. But i don't really care, have almost 1 milion glory just to spam the hanging scroll, other thing i rarely need, what i want i've already got.

[orthostatic]

Does it even matter if your clan wins? Isn't it just a temporary glory discount and a few extra bonus points? Your rank rewards are still appropriate even if your clan loses, far as I can tell. I did white for a few weeks because I thought "bare-handed" and "attack(fists)" were the same, lol. I got incredible rewards for rank and such since nobody was in that one.

Switched to Takenaka and never looked back.

Of course toyotomi is winning, the clan scores reset just a few hours ago and the top 30 of toyotomi have exceeded 100,000 each. Theres even two guys scoring above 1 million

100k might be possible if you have been farming depths non-stop since reset, but anything above that is straight out impossible at this time.

Not saying the other clans don't have hackers though, Honda's top scorer has 3.4 mil

Cheaters.... just take a look to the leaderboard.. it's hella obvious

[SamYes]

As well Date clan in Nioh1 with their bonuses to spirit weapon. I'm in Takenaka clan )

Is the Toyotomi clan bonus even worth it?

The Life Recovery (Amrita Absorption) can be nice when paired with the Extraction onmyo talisman when using a faster weapon / attack. Or if you want to use a spirit stone of some kind, it can serve as a heal of sorts. Moreso if you stack more life recovery (amrita absorption) from other sources, maybe a Shoulder Strap accessory to eat spirit stones faster.

The Amrita Loot Bonus, to me, isn't very good. I'll need to test it more, but it looked like it only affected just the bodies you loot. Not the spirit stone usage, enemies you defeat, or post mission amrita reward.

Edit: I believe the life recovery is about 50 for each little amrita spark. With Extraction and say... three quick attacks from low stance dual swords, that might be at least 300+ life recovered in a matter of 1~1.5 seconds before factoring in other life recovery and life drain effects.

If a player is not using an Extraction effect (onmyo talisman, Shuten Doji yokai skill, etc) or eating spirit stones during combat, then Toyotomi clan, to me, isn't benefiting them as much as another clan might.

it's ok but not to the extent its popularity suggests
if you're going to use a defensive clan honda & uesugi are better

for me yes, I use a life drain build, so anything that gives me back health is useful as I don't use Elixers

[Klipwc]

Useugi for life!
No seriously, a shield which protects you from damage worth 51% of your max health every time you do a purification? Even critical builds need it.

I switched from gamo to uesugi to compliment my yokai shift build (maining a brute through baku, so the more defense the better) and that barrier from purification is just beautiful!

[Broso]

I've been using Uesugi myself and it does seem rather nice for a more defensive playstyle.

[orthostatic]

Uesugi is always tempting, but for now I'm a glass cannon who tries to ki-break all the things. Sometimes it works, though my hand dexterity still needs work for me to properly leverage fist combo chains.

Why you care top clan is maybe good if you're lvling but afterwards it's useless so swap to whatever you use
