I'm early level 50 and I'm starting to notice that soul matching is no longer feasible for the lower level gear that I want to bring up to current level due to my lack of gold. I was kind of trying to create a build with a certain weapon and armor pieces for the set bonus. Unfortunately the loot I am finding now far, far outpaces the gear I want to use, and I don't even have a fraction of the gold needed to bring the gear I want to current level.
So I've just been swapping out to the best gear as I find it. Which is fun too but I'm wondering if soul-matching ever becomes more feasible for the lower level gear?

I feel like I'm running into the same issue I always face with Souls games distribute stats all over the place, i.e. master of none.
Right now, and after trying a variety of styles, I'm enjoying maining an axe with a dual sword backup. Wearing M equipment. I think I'm more attracted to an agile character, lots of stamina, high risk/reward... But my stats don't reflect that. Any suggestions on how I should allocate my future points?

It's been the main issue for me too lately. Sometimes I'm set with the bonuses of my gears. But bringing them to the appropriate level would cost a whole lot of gold. It's more feasible to just switch to newly dropped higher level gears and reforge them instead. I feel like soul match is getting more and more useless for me.
30 Spirit + 40 on the stat of the weapon you like +20 on Dexterity/Magic for the dojo quests. This is my build and it was enough to finish the normal campaign with ease.
@Soulmatch
Don't bother with it until you get to drop green gear. It's a flawed mechanic and costs way more than it should. You will use it exclusively to pass specific attributes of the weapons, even then, it's better to just reroll for what you want.

This game really isn't as strict as Souls when it comes to stat allocation. Especially since the game straight up tells you mission levels and some are well over 100.

NG+ twilight in a nutshell
First time I've summoned someone. I don't even know if I'll ever get geared enough to do this alone without wasting an hour of my time whittling away at multiple health sponges at once while always 2 hits from dying.
So I'm doing this twilight mission and getting stunlocked by multiple enemies is...annoying.

in the clash of sickles dojo mission can i unlock that guys mask? i want it
I'm embarrassed to say how many times it took me to beat him tonight. Just like in Souls/BB I had him down under 1/4 health on my 2nd or 3rd try (lucky), and then it took me many, many more attempts to finally learn all of his patterns and movesets to beat him (without using Sloth or Lifeseal).

Question for folks who are deeper in. I pretty much love all the weapons and have therefore been a generalist with my stats. Is that eventually going to come back to bite me?

Three straight hours fighting this guy, can't get him past half health. This game really sucks badly with the cheating.

How do you stop
from healing in the sub mission? Is there magic I need to use?
EDIT: Apparently Relentless Heaven Sword works. Never even gets a chance to cast it.

Not really. Just don't stop leveling. You've got enough for whatever you want as long as you don't go crazy with the armor stats.
Note: I'm only at the start of region 5, so maybe shit gets crazier afterward or in NG+, but yeah, up til now it's basically just been whatever with stats.

You will need to settle on 2 weapon types and an armour weight type eventually and then level up accordingly. It gets pretty expensive to level up later on in the game and you won't have enough samurai skill points to cover all 4 weapon types.
If possible decide before you do your first respec as those get progressively more expensive as well.
Sanctuary
Member
You can respec multiple times, although you'll want to pick a weapon to hit
50k proficiency
You can grind proficiency if you really want, but it's better to just stick with a single weapon at best, or up to three at worst.
One mission away from finishing the game. Stats all all over the place cause I like to try different kinds of armor and gear. I cannot say if my butt has been bitten a lot but I guess I could have done better if I specialized on a specific build.
I will keep it until I finish the game then I can work onto that, sets and specific weapons.

NG+ missions are exclusively only for ng+ players Co op wise? Or if you have the NG version of it you can be summoned onto a ng+ mission?
I've had this game since launch, but finished the first real mission (
) just yesterday and finally opened up the world map. Game's fun, don't know why I waited so long for it to set its hooks in me!
Just one random question, how sizable is this game, i.e. how many missions does it have etc.? Wanna know if I should invest time in it, or try to wrap up some of the other ongoing games in the backlog.

Just cheese him. Super super easy. Use a spear. Mid Stance. Just keep using Triangle (Strong Attack) every time he is in range. You'll never get hit. You'll drain his Ki. Grapple. Rince/Repeat. Works for every humanoid duel who is not a Warrior of ****
Game is massive. I think I have 45-55 hours and just got to I think one of the final regions. Either the last one or the one before. I've done every sub mission and thrown in some helping people with the first three bosses. Game is substantial.

It's a pretty long game, especially if you're a completionist. There are lots of sub-mission outside of the main ones.

Guess we're thinking of the wrong one, I can only use wooden sword
Same, but it's gone now. Still, it's a nice one to specifically queue for.
Sanctuary

Did you check your inventory? The dojo missions give you additional wooden weapons than just what you start them with equipped.
Shifty Capone1

You have a wooden spear too. Switch to it and do the mid stance strong attack. You'll easily win.

You're talking about zen and sword are one? I can not select the melee weapon, it is only wooden sword.

I thought they give you a wooden version of whatever you have equipped. I've been able to use wooden dual katanas for every dojo mission.

Exactly. I'm holding on to all of the low level gear who's attributes I really like with the hopes that I can use them again at some point via soul match.
Shifty Capone1

I never realized this. That makes more sense. So the guy stuck just needs to have a spear so he can win if it's causing him that much grief.

About how much Stamina would I roughly need to wear medium armor and still have A agility? I'm starting to think it's not worth it.
I may just rock light armor and refashion it as medium.

hairpin guy gives famed ninja locks in exchange for the pin. was hoping for his raven rifle
I guess that's what they mean with "more clan members, less individual rewards". I'm Totoyomi, rank 37 in the clan, and only made 15k.
