[PS4] Nioh 2 - Anima gain tests (Splitstaff & Fist).
Each weapon used starts with Set 1 first then second after.
If for some reason you got lost in the Soul Core showcase portion of the video I'll list the stats:
(Set 1)
Tsuchigumo - Anima Charge Bonus (Amrita Gauge) A+
Maelstrom Fox Spirit - Anima Bonus (Amrita Absoption) B-
Nightmare Bringer - Anima Bonus (Confused Enemy) AA
(Set 2)
Kasha - Anima Bonus (Saturated Enemy) A+
Bakegani - Anima Bonus (Confused Enemy) AA
Nightmare Bringer - Anima Bonus(Purified Enemy) A+
Basically, Set 1 is good if focusing on Confusion and you're fighting enemies that don't block or have AoE attacks that can kill you in one hit like in the Depths for example. Set 2 is imo better as every enemy as far as I remember (I took a long break from the game) can get confused/statused even while blocking. Obviously this excludes Nightmare Bringer which at that point Set 1 is better with a Purity or Corruption Status core.
All tests were done without relying on Archyokai.
