Help: Saika Magoichi?

[Fenris 89]

Is it possible that someone can help me with this boss or did i need something that i can see call signs?

I did´nt really know how it works in Nioh!

I´m Level 100, Password: nioh12

There are no callsigns. You place a ochoko cup at the shrine to invite visitors, at which point the game starts trying to match you with any people that have completed the mission and are offering to help (and use the same password).

Thanks!

take your password off or you will find no one

Yeah, I hate this guy too - never misses when he shoots or throws bombs at you from above and likes to back himself into the fire. You can block his rifle shots though.

You can shoot him down with a range weapon if you are good at aiming; Otherwise, having a visitor to distract him helps with aiming ;)

Talking about Saika, even though it might not help TS: It is fun if you get the Reflect projectiles (Timely Guard) effect on something. Once you get the timing right, Saika going into the air turns into a semi-free knockdown (at range. He will still try grabs).

Going to fight Saika in Abyss floor 12.

I know shurikens can knock him down when he's flying but can kunai or water shot do the same?

[Deostades]

Yes. High reaching attacks like Spear High Stance or Dual Swords Whirlwind can do the same.

Thanks. Know High stance attacks work too except need to be close with him for an effective hit, hence I prefer to use kunai or water shot from a distance ;)

Edit: Does the range weapon curse apply to kunai and/or water shot too?
