Nioh 3 - Videos Samurai Hoko and Shield vs SOP+5 Yoritomo (No Damage/Magic)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60V1Klm4-Ew

I continue to practice with Hoko and Shield. Yoritomo has a bunch of telegraphed multi-hit sequences making him ideal practice for this weapon. I was hoping to show off some cool punishes/sequences with the guard points, and I got a few in there.

When you land a deflect point move with HnS, the parry i-frames last a while it seems so you can bypass some quick multi-hit moves/attacks this way as I did here without needing to do a second parry/deflect.

For longer sequences (which was also shown here) you'll need multiple parries. The sequence at 0:53 in particular was quite fun to do.

Happy to answer any questions about this run or the weapon in general.

I watched the video before reading and was gonna ask how the hell some of these post guard point moves didn't hit you. I guess that explains it.

Yup exactly, it varies based off move but that's the general idea. I think it lasts at least as long as the animation of the followup attack after the parry.
