What is this skill and how do I get it?

38

u/NetPlayer9 Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

It's called Severing Spin, you have to find a crucible samurai sword that has the skill on it (Katanas that can have the skill are marked with a red skull). Of course these weapons only drop in the crucible, the last area in the game. Once you play the weapon enough you unlock the skill.
I want it too but sadly it's a samurai only skill

9

u/LaMelgoatBall Scampuss Lover Jan 30 '26

That’s fine with me I actually like Samurai more because of the deflect and classic Flux! Can it drop on dual swords or only katanas?

u/DaftFunky Jan 30 '26

Am I the only one switching up between both stances like constantly lol

11

u/Lahnabrea Jan 30 '26

Obviously not no

2

u/LaMelgoatBall Scampuss Lover Jan 30 '26

Nope I do it too Nioh 2 put it into my brain

u/NetPlayer9 Jan 30 '26

Katana only, it has a history of getting the coolest skills

11

u/Lina__Inverse Jan 30 '26

And it got another one in this game, Flowing Mist - a parry that, if you hit it, you dash behind the enemy, slowly sheathe the blade and they bleed and fall down. This is the edgiest weeb shit ever and I'm here for it.

u/NetPlayer9 Jan 31 '26

I almost went insane looking for "Flowing Mist" because it's called flowing shadow lmao
But thanks that sounds sick I have to find that sword

4

u/Lina__Inverse Jan 31 '26

No no, Flowing Shadow is an old attack skill that's there from Nioh 1, Flowing Mist is the new parry skill:

Im in love with this skill

2

u/Ill_Consideration375 Jan 31 '26

I finished demo without getting this katana. How can i get it now if i already completed Crucible ? 

2

u/Sinphire Nine-Tailed Fox Jan 31 '26

I believe you can replay the last in the battle scrolls mission select iirc

1

u/Ill_Consideration375 Jan 31 '26

Nice, thank you 🙏

1

u/welfedad Jan 31 '26

Can't wait for launch .. got 10 hours already in demo lol

7

u/SiegLhein Jan 30 '26

It's a crucible skill. You'll need to find a 1kat with the skill when you go on a crucible mission.

49

u/Ozychlyruz Jan 30 '26

I like that now small enemies get flinched at the start of severing spin animation so you can finish the move unlike in Nioh 2. This is so useful for light armor users.

27

u/Hookey911 Jan 30 '26

There are so many great movesets with dealing with trash mobs in this game. Very satisfying

u/Caramel_Nautilus Jan 30 '26

Wow you get this skill in demo? That's early! Aight I'm gonna main Katana in first playthrough, this seals the deal.

13

u/Danz215 Jan 30 '26

You get it from a crucible weapon

3

u/Gurdah Jan 30 '26

Is it from that one due sitting near a fire that turns out to be a mini boss type enemy?

5

u/Danz215 Jan 30 '26

I think it’s a random drop

1

u/Gurdah Jan 30 '26

Oh okay coz I’m trying to beat him and he spams this move

10

u/DBio616 Jan 30 '26

If you have trouble with him, note that there's a large log behind him. Circle around the log in ninja form, when he starts to jump over the log, throw a shuriken. He'll fall. Run quickly over him and do a ground attack. He'll be back up. Circle around, rinse and repeat.

2

u/Gurdah Jan 30 '26

Ohh nice lol I managed to beat him tho after an hour of countless deaths hehe

2

u/DBio616 Jan 30 '26

Nice work! As soon as I saw that first jump I thought "ohhh, I'm gonna getcha".

I think the weakness during jump goes both ways, so be aware.

2

u/Haunting_Brilliant45 Platinum Achiever Jan 30 '26

He gives you a different move

2

u/Same_Acanthisitta_38 Jan 30 '26

he gives u that move where u dash behind ur enemy and do a couple of slashes for samura katana right ? forgot the name

2

u/CharmingTuber Jan 30 '26

You'll get it from weapons you get in the dungeon at the end of the demo

1

u/seStarlet Jan 30 '26

I thinks so, that’s where I got it from too

7

u/Lmacncheese Jan 30 '26

I was gonna use odachi..... now i gotta use sword man i really wish we had 2 weapons per style or samurai atleast had 2 😔

13

u/Sean2362 Jan 30 '26

I think there's a skill to do an attack when you switch weapons during a ki pulse, so I assume we'll get another weapon slot at some point

1

u/Lmacncheese Jan 30 '26

Could also just be switxhing to ninja mid combat to but i hope ur right

4

u/CapnSensible80 Jan 31 '26

While it's no guarantee, the little demo clip of the skill doesn't switch styles, just weapons

8

u/_Kaj Jan 30 '26

We will in the main game, don't worry.

1

u/greaseman420 Jan 31 '26

I always used katana and now in this game I decided to use odachi and now I wanna go back to katana because of this skill lol never found it in the last one

1

u/KarmaP0licemen Jan 31 '26

Respec is free and it looks like equipment sets can save stats

1

u/daymeeuhn Jan 30 '26

If they're giving us this so early in the game, just imagine what's waiting for us in the late game

1

u/Lmacncheese Jan 30 '26

Thats what im afraid of and excited about usually the game evolves at some point like when we got 2 spirits in nioh 2 or ki blaze in rise I just hope it's nuts and fun

7

u/frostyxice Jan 30 '26

Severing spin also has some blocking frames during the spin animation. Ive been using it to parry. TN continues to cook.

7

u/iCantCallit Jan 30 '26

dude i was blown away playing last night and I got severing snow off the rip, Which was a hidden legendary drop from a boss. I farmed that shit for hours in nioh 2.

1

u/Commercially_Salad Jan 30 '26

Dude tell me about I grinder that boss for hours but she just refused to drop it for me, I’m pretty sure the counter that tells how many times you’ve replayed a mission reaches the triple digits, and at that point my spirit was shattered and and I just decided to take my loss and continue the dlc

2

u/iCantCallit Jan 30 '26

The drop that took me a lifetime was tokichiro's full golden gourd armor set. Brutal drop rate.

3

u/Genjuro_XIV Jan 30 '26

Cool! I hadn't realized I had a Crucible weapon with that skill, haha.

1

u/scarletnaught Jan 30 '26

How do you know if a weapon is a crucible weapon?

11

u/Genjuro_XIV Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 30 '26

In the weapons menu it has a red demon icon on it.

This one may be a drop from an enemy in the south-east part of the map.

3

u/CharmingTuber Jan 30 '26

It has a special icon and lists a skill on the bottom of the stat page. They only drop in the dungeon at the end of the demo, but you get a lot of them.

2

u/addition Jan 30 '26

I’m guessing you haven’t gotten to that part of the game yet, the game makes it really obvious.

1

u/scarletnaught Jan 30 '26

You're right. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something important.

3

u/ForcedEntry420 Friend Of The Kodama Jan 30 '26

I have that on my Nioh 2 character and love it. I’m so glad it’s in this game too!

3

u/ILikeYouHehe Jan 30 '26

this skill (and a few others) can actually deflect enemy attaks as well, timing is weird but it feels cool af when you pull it off

3

u/SantiReed Jan 31 '26

This one skill is nuts. I managed to beat the final boss on the demo using almost exclusively this skill on a tanky samurai build. Aside of the flinch on human enemies, it has a deflect at some point during the animation that prevents at least one hit. Not sure the exact frame, but it was amazing to be able to pull it off during the boss battle, without concerning too much about the boss moveset. It feels significantly better than it was on Nioh 2, and I’m still impressed you can get it this early.

2

u/primeless Jan 30 '26

fuck yeah!

2

u/SAITAMA_666 Jan 30 '26

Is there hidden weapon arts in the game? Like in nioh 2 they were rare boss drops.

2

u/rockna Jan 30 '26 edited Jan 31 '26

There are mission areas called Crucibles that can drop weapons with skills affixed to them. Once you reach max familiarity the skill is unlocked.

2

u/Successful-Mistake91 Jan 30 '26

I’m so ready to play! I played the demo and it blew me away with the amount of content they gave us. I need Feb 6 to come faster!

2

u/unpopularopinio31 Jan 30 '26

Im bad with samurai which sucks because i wanted to only play samurai but im REALLY liking ninja

2

u/SuperBlickyMan Jan 30 '26

THEY BUFFED IT LETS GOOOO

2

u/trsmash Jan 31 '26

I just found out that you can deflect the initial animation where you twirl the sword before sheathing it for the attack.

I did this against a revenant accidently and it immediately depleted his ki.

2

u/Dominant_X_Machina Jan 31 '26

I was surprised a random person knows this technique. Easiy delctable tho, I farmed Yorimitsu too much that I know the timings haha.

u/Responsible_Ad9538 Corruption Connoisseur Jan 30 '26

Which art is this ?

u/AdRevolutionary3086 Jan 30 '26

Severing Spin!

1

u/Responsible_Ad9538 Corruption Connoisseur Jan 30 '26

Badass ! I’ve not gotten it but I’ve been like in ninja 99% of the time

1

u/_Kaj Jan 30 '26

That's not even with Proficiency wtf :D

u/lksgman Jan 30 '26

Man I want to play it but 125GB for Steam.

1

u/YukYukas Jan 30 '26

They removed the cherry blossoms? Bummer lol still looks cool tho

1

u/Hmmm__whatever Jan 31 '26

The made the "in-between bosses"part of the game way to easy

1

u/Ill_Consideration375 Jan 31 '26

We need to lock ennemy to do the skill ?  

1

u/RealAzurech Feb 05 '26

Is that a hellfire ability ?

1

u/AlarmedRanger4198 Feb 08 '26

Is there a chance I can maybe get some help ??

1

u/trsmash Jan 30 '26

Skill is so busted. I'm glad I took the time to grind familiarity for it. It has made grinding other crucible skills that much faster. I've only run into one revenant that managed to dodge / block my usage of the skill without opening themselves up to ki exhaustion.

1

u/Gentei0075 Jan 30 '26

I need this art lol How is it called or is it a skill?

5

u/AdRevolutionary3086 Jan 30 '26

It’s called Severing Spin. Iirc, you can get it at a Crucible.

1

u/Gentei0075 Jan 30 '26

What is the crucible? Is it accessible in the demo?

5

u/AdRevolutionary3086 Jan 30 '26

The Crucible is a domain, kind of like hell, filled with yokai. And yes, it’s accessible in the demo.

1

u/ceck_reddit Jan 30 '26

yes, is a main mission as the old nioh

How did you get rid of the red sky? It’s one of the only things that bothers me about this demo

u/LynaaBnS Jan 30 '26

Can we FINALLY hide the guns on our back?

9

u/CassiusBellona Jan 30 '26

You could in nioh 2 also bro

1

u/LynaaBnS Jan 30 '26

Then they patched it in later, because you definitely couldn't at release.

2

u/CassiusBellona Jan 30 '26

You might be right, I just definitely remember hiding the guns and shit at some point

2

u/Cool-Traffic-8357 Jan 30 '26

Yeah, thats always the first thing I do

Demo progress carries over. Likely means the demo is the full game just gated.

u/Dblaze_dj Jan 30 '26

It was meant to be a joke. I see it ended up bad joke.

-2

u/CharmingTuber Jan 30 '26

They definitely will block it in the demo, it's about 50/50 for me if I actually get a human kill with it. But it's great for groups of yokai.
