Spent a bit wondering what's better, a crucible weapon or a divine item weapon, but the game decided to say "why not both?"

once in NG+2 (enlightened) it is very straightforward to put together a very strong ninja onmyo build - and the onmyo damage is far higher than ninjutsu. Running ultimate magic and untouched onmyo with ToF/carnage and using the occasional sacred feather is a no brainer at this point unless you want to leave a lot of damage on the table.

It feels like ninjutsu needs a significant uplift in the next title update.

Thoughts?

I know I can't actually skip it, I mean there's a new difficulty now and I'd rather rush through Shogun. Are there any important items to pick up? Skill points, the things that increase spirit force, any sort of perma upgrade.

Thanks all!

Long time no see have new controller so excuse mistakes and slow fingers

First time playing with the sword. Just curious if any of my martial arts would be better severed in a different stance or swap out some of the moves for better ones. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
