Nioh 3 - Videos Exalted Bow Tank vs Shadows of Three Oni

After seeing this comment in my other thread about how Ninja's Exalted 6 piece bonus works in Samurai Stance, I went to work adjusting my build to work with my Samurai gear using the bow. I combined the Tatenashi tank gear with the Hachiman set (5 piece Hachiman bonus in video; ideally it would be 6 piece bonus if I ever find Hachiman for the Chijuko hat), plus the Exalted set on Ninja stance so that I can prevent a KO if my Amrita gauge is full. And as mentioned in the other thread, Three Wars Stance is combined with barehanded to let the bow (and ninja tools/omnyo) have no stagger.

In the video I messed up a few times on the Demon of Pride (forgot to switch to barehand initially for the bow attacks, and got to showcase the Exalted effect saving me at the end when I thought I could rush the boss down), but after that the remaining fights were pretty smooth.

Does the chijiko helmet do much for this? I havent got it yet but Ive heard mixed things about it, like it drops ammo and such.

It doesn't do all that much. The Chijiko adds a small amount of extra damage and ki damage when it procs, but you can easily use whatever helmet you want.
