Team Ninja has significantly rebalanced Nioh 3 in a new update

Team Ninja has released update 1.07.00 for Nioh 3. The new patch does not add content, but significantly changes the game's balance. The developers have reworked the set and Grace system, strengthening dozens of bonuses and increasing the effectiveness of many popular builds.

The most noticeable changes affected the special Grace blessings, which are activated when using a certain number of equipment items. The authors strengthened bonuses to damage, effect duration, magic, and ninjutsu techniques.

Updates were received by Grace of Benzaiten, Hotei, Hachiman, Inari, Kuzuryu, Daikokuten, Jurojin, and other sets. In some cases, Team Ninja not only increased the effectiveness of bonuses but also completely changed their operating principle.

An important change was the replacement of many Attack Bonus effects with Damage Bonus. Now they directly increase the damage dealt, rather than just increasing the attack stat, which should make the character's power gain more noticeable.

Builds focused on elemental damage, stealth attacks, bows, spears, swords, and close combat have also been strengthened. The changes affected both fans of aggressive playstyles and devotees of Onmyo magic and Ninjutsu techniques.

Patch 1.07 also fixes several bugs. The developers have resolved an issue with Ki recovery after using Sacred Water, corrected the display of some bonuses in statistics, and fixed the effect of one of the Yokai Annihilator sets.
