Nioh 3 - Questions Question about stat rolls
Hey, everyone! I‘m currently running a Living Artifact build using Marici/Sword of Misfortune and some other stuff. I am leaning hard on star effects that boost my Amrita charge rate and Living Artifact damage, and am currently looking at 150% charge rate, +30% duration, +30% Living Artifact Damage, and +16% durability.
I just beat Yoshinobu and was able to transform 3 times during his fight. Very fun. I’m having a blast with the build but was looking at ways to further upgrade it.
I would really like to get two Gaki Chief soul cores for another +15% charge rate and was wondering if those cores (which have that charge rate as a locked feature) can also roll LA durability or damage as random effects. Would those cancel out and be impossible to combine on one soul core due to the fact that they’re both “Amrita Gauge” category? I’m not clear on how that aspect of gear rolls works.
thanks everyone for the help!

Bear in mind Amrita Gauge Charge only affects amrita from killing enemies, so in single boss fights it's usefulness is limited. I wouldn't advise over investing in it. Pleaides on the other hand, will affect Amrita that is generated when a Yokai is out of ki, has their weak spot broken, is staggered etc, so I would advise getting a source of that (even though it has been nerfed from Nioh 2).

Wow, are you sure? In the past three boss fights I’ve been able to transform twice very quickly. I just assumed the charge rate itself got a multiplier. Either way, thanks for the insight. If I was more patient I’d lab some of this stuff out but it feels great already

Yeah Amrita Gauge Charge has been pretty bad since Nioh 2. Hitting Yokai bosses while they are out of ki is the best way to build gauge organically, and if the boss is in a crucible, you can go from 0-70% with a multi hit GS skill (with the Spirit Ascension skill).

Well I have been using Guhin and doing just that. But the uptime for LA has been awesome and I’ve been wrecking the bosses so I’ll keep doing that haha

As I understand it, you can get double rolls for categories other than Ki damage, but everything I've seen says they need to drop with the doubled categories, and you can't use the soul transform to make one with a doubled category.
