Rules for Nioh

Please remember to check necessary global requirements (e.g. recording for a legend run) in General guidelines.
 

​

Champion Requirements

 

Nioh Champion requires all unique bosses to be defeated with screenshots/videos of the following:

  • Stats

  • Every empty boss arena

 

Optional sidequest bosses are required only if unique.

  • For example, Tachibana Muneshige is required, but the Two Kings is not.

 

There is technically no banned equipment. Such banned equipment would not show in stat screen photo for proof. It is strongly suggested that you avoid gear that isnt from NG cycle, and to avoid the overuse of Living Weapon.

Legend Criteria

​

As of the time of writing, the only Legend run for Nioh is

  • Way of the Nioh Max NG+ Level 1 No Living Weapon/Magic/Ninjutsu/Ranged Weapon Attacks

If you feel that you have an idea for a run that meets requirements, check with a mod beforehand for confirmation.

​​​​

Legend Banned Equipment & Strategies

​

  • You may not use a weapon significantly stronger than ~300+50 (weapon only); a 310+57 weapon will probably not be a problem, but a 320+92 will be. If in doubt, ask a mod.

    • You may use equipment without level restriction if the fight is flawless. If you take a hit, the same levels as weapon are under effect.

  • No cheesing. Methods involving permanent stunlocks, staggers, or collapsing of a boss - such as Iai or SotC quickdraw loops, confusion, moment talisman cheese, and any other unmentioned method - are strictly prohibited. If our mods judge your fight to involve cheesing, it will be disqualified.

    • Example: You may headshot an opponent and Quickdraw them as part of strategy, but that cannot be sum total of your tactics.
