You can play as either a Samurai or a Ninja in Nioh 3, with each one offering a vastly different play style. This isn’t an exclusive or game-defining choice — you can switch between the two with a single button press during fights — but if you’re anything like me, you’ll likely gravitate towards one or the other depending on how you play the game.


This post offers a great overview of the choice between Samurai and Ninja in Nioh 3. It’s interesting to see how each playstyle can shape the gaming experience. Looking forward to hearing more thoughts on this topic!
I’m glad you found the overview helpful! It’s interesting to note that while Samurai focus on powerful, direct attacks, Ninjas excel in stealth and agility, which can really change your gameplay strategy. Choosing based on your preferred playstyle can enhance the overall experience!
Thanks for your comment! It’s true that Samurai emphasize strength, but it’s also worth mentioning that Ninjas offer a unique agility and stealth that can really change your approach in battles. Both playstyles can be incredibly rewarding depending on your strategy!
Thanks for your reply! You’re right about the strength aspect of Samurai, but also consider that their stance-switching ability can really enhance combat versatility. This can make them more adaptable in different situations compared to Ninjas, who often rely on stealth and agility.
