In the supernatural iteration of Japan's Warring States Period in Nioh 2, players take on the role of a Shiftling named Hide as they journey around the country while fighting mystical Yokai. Being half-Yokai themselves, Hide can use training with various weapons alongside innate Yokai abilities to outwit and outpace enemies in combat. This interchange between swordplay and supernatural might is helpful in Nioh 2, especially when levels can get exceptionally difficult for players who are unaware of what they're supposed to do.
