About this converter
Nioh 2 prints attack for each melee weapon in the equipment menu at level 1, before soul matching, graces and remodeling. Fists at 50 open the table. Tonfa at 52, Dual Swords at 55, Hatchets at 58, Sword at 60, Kusarigama at 62, Splitstaff at 64, Spear at 65, Switchglaive at 68, Axe at 75, Odachi at 78 cover base tiers. Divine Sword at 220 marks Dream of the Strong. Ethereal Odachi at 320 marks Dream of the Wise at near six times fists. All rows pin menu attack so rarity scaling does not mix into base ranks.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total damage. Try Ethereal Odachi against Fists.
Rarity, soul matching and graces raise attack past base a lot and stay out except the two marked rows. Stance scaling and Ki damage differ by type and sit outside this attack table. Active skills multiply listed attack per hit. DLC weapons use the same base figures.
