Best samurai weapons in Nioh 3
Spear
Spear has excellent reach and versatility. They are also pretty good in crowded situations. The long reach allows you to attack enemies without getting too close to them.
This is for the players who like to be more in a controllable situation. In this game, Spear also provides great mobility and combo potential. Do a quick and fast attack and then quickly retreat.
Twirl II, for example, increases attack power throughout combat, making it simpler to maintain pressure while staying away from enemies.
Axe
Undoubtedly, Axe is one of the most powerful weapons in Nioh 3. If you love dealing massive damage and showcasing massive manliness with heavy weapons, this is your go-to weapon in the game.
Its strong attack power makes it great for shattering enemy guards and quickly draining Ki, exposing opponents to finishing strikes.

Best Ninja weapons in Nioh 3
Tonfa
This is a very good weapon for the players who prefer a balance of speed, defense and sustained pressure.
This weapon excels in dealing both health and qi damage. This allows quick counters after the deflection.
Tonfa scales nicely with Strength, making it ideal for hybrid builds. Skills like Dragon Slayer II offer devastating counterattacks, allowing players to quickly transition from defense to offense and efficiently extend combo chains.
Talons
These weapons are perfect for the aggressive build that focuses more on speed and combo damage. Rapid attack chains quickly deplete enemy’s Ki. This creates gaps for grapples and massive damage follow-ups.
Beyond Infinity is a noteworthy skill in Talons, allowing expert players to chain several assaults with precise timing. When utilized appropriately, this weapon can overwhelm adversaries before they have time to recover.
