Notes & Builds

• The bonus to Rage duration is valuable and easy to use with any build.
• Any set with Attack Bonus [Core Stat] is powerful early in that game when attack values are lower. The only issue is most weapons don't scale with stamina, including the sword that comes with the set.
• This set gets several benefits from Dream of the Nioh, including the Stat cap of Stamina increasing to 200, a very solid 20% melee damage for electrified enemies and Transform Bonus allowing any weapon to scale with Stamina.
