The thing that makes it really good, you need the second upgrade for it, and a lot of ki, which early on you won't have. It's a very dangerous move to use so be careful with that. Lumber Chop, a high stance skill, is another pretty good one. It's a focused VERY high damage strike that can send humans tumbling (like Roar). ...This is probably too much info and goes into more obscure mechanics, but heck, maybe you'll find it useful, eventually: Nioh has kind of a weird mechanic when it comes to when you can stab someone on the ground. Generally, when someone is knocked to the ground, you are permitted to hit them once, and they stay down. If you hit them again, they insta-get up, robbing you of the chance to stab them while on the ground. Some attacks however, send enemies tumbling if you score a direct hit, tumbling along the ground. In this state, if they are hit again, they lie on the ground, but will get up pretty soon. If you hit them AGAIN before they get up, they are then in the "normal" on the ground state I mentioned above, where you can hit them once more, but no more if you still want to stab them while they're on the ground. This is mostly relevant for axe, dual katana and single katana users, as they have very useful skills that can put human enemies into a weird state that can lead to them on the ground and taking a lot of damage. Though Spear and Tonfa can do it some too. So as an example, if you got Lumber Chop and charged it up, smacked a human enemy and he was sent tumbling away, then rolled towards them and did a rolling attack to hit them so they're on the floor, then hit them again, then stabbed them while they're on the ground, that's a sort of...combo. It's a tank-based combo, whereas using Roar instead (harder, but possible) you can do it really safely, since it blocks while you're doing the move. But... Eh, this is likely too much to take in this early. But, Nioh's combat mechanics are more complex than they appear, and sometimes in pretty weird ways. <_< --- I am snazzier, hot, hot rant. Warily slight as. Croak rush, OK? Weirder, almighty make out. ::) <cite>Tmk posted [p:893016740] in Nioh is do...
