>What does each element do?
http://nioh.wiki.fextralife.com/Status+Effects
>What should I do with the armour/weapons I don't want/use?
Purple/Blue = Disassemble (Then use the blue mats to forge a purple if you have enough)
Yellow/White = Sell or you can give it to the kodamas for amrita and the odd free item.
>What does the summoning candle do?
It returns your guardian spirit to you when you die along with the amrita you collected.
>Should I use soul match?
Honestly, no, not unless you have basically finished the game and have a weapon with some really great stats. As you progress you will get a steady flow of new weapons and armour that is better than what you have. Don't waste your money on soul matching until later.
>Why do people keep mentioning "smithing texts"?
Bosses tend to drop pieces of their armour and weapons when you defeat them. Very rarely they will drop a smithing text which allows you to forge their armour/weapon.
>Which clan should I join? (clan unlocked through progression)
Whichever one has a bonus that you think will benefit your build the most.

Ton of new shit has happened whilst you faggots were gone
>Umbracite is now a thing. Use it to pick the Reforges you want
>Silabar ingots are also now a thing. Living Weapon builds rejoice. Forge them at the blacksmith to store the Amrita you have on you for a makeshift Soulstone
>Can now use patronage to Soul match. You can now use those extra levels Old man or Waifu wouldn't accept
>Clans have improved stats across the board. Equipment can now be traded for Honour using the 'Donations' function

Quick rundown of the expected shit
>THE NEW WEAPON TYPE IS
The Tonfa.This is weapon type No.2. I would hesitate to say that this will be the Stamina scaling weapon, accompanying the Hand Cannon
Bo, Naginatata, Sai and Tetsubo are still possible for DLC 3, so place your bets
>STORYLINE
'Defiant Honor takes us to Osaka Castle, the largest and most impregnable castle of Sengoku era. This add-on features the legendary warrior Sanada Yukimura, serving Tokugawa Ieyasu’s archenemy Toyotomi clan, who values honor above all else. As tensions brew between the Tokugawa and Toyotomi clans, Sanada Yukimura prepares his men for imminent conflict against the Tokugawa’s forces by building a stronghold called the Sanada Maru on the outskirts of the Osaka Castle. With the castle fortified, Tokugawa’s forces were faced with a difficult and bloody challenge.
In the midst of this chaos, our hero William, accompanied by Date Masamune who fights alongside Tokugawa, heads towards Sanada Maru in pursuit of Maria. It is a bitter winter in Osaka and the stage is ripe for a fierce battle for the ages. Bundle up and get ready for a brutal winter showdown!'-Tom Lee, Creative Game Director

>OTHER FEATURES
-Another difficulty level has been confirmed. Whether it is actually a challenge to the average minmaxer is still to be confirmed
-New guardian spirits have been confirmed. After intensive researchtyping 'japanese horned horse spirit' into GoogleI have concluded that the Fire element spirit shown is a Qilin. Wirriam also appears to be wielding the new weapons, Tonfa in the pic related
If a trend is followed, expect 2 more guardian spirits.
Earth Stonerbraincreature (?) and Lightning Mothfu (Janomecho?-according to some GameFAQ page) are already modelled. If Date is to help out during the campaign and Otani Totoyomi specifically serving under the Sanada clan, we may already have our confirmation on the two other spiritsThis is still very much open to debate, because only one person has thought this through-me. This would leave a Fire, Wind and Water spirit for the 3rd DLC
-New Armour to refashion, New Enemies to die to, New Onmyo to spam, New Bosses to farm Smithing texts from, New Missions and Sub-Missions to play literally 4 times. The Divine weapon/armour level cap and Guardian Spirit level cap are also probably going to be lifted too, so start saving up some Amrita
Oh yeah and the netcode has been 'improved' while you were gone, so expect the Shiranui user to kill you in real time, rather than 2 seconds before you can react.
Good Luck /nioh/, my work here is doneuntil next DLC, in which I have to do this all over again one last time
RELEASE DATE: 25th JULY, ETA 2 WEEKS.Please don't make me have to resurrect this thread again before the release. Give it a bump or start a discussion as you pass by. Thanks for reading all the way though and have a nice day.Until you realise there is probably going to be a rematch with another harder, buffed Maria on another (most likely to harder) mode. You are gonna need those +15'
