I really love this game. I played with katana to start with, then switched to tonfa and onmyo and the game got much more manageable. I was probably playing katana wrong, I dunno. The game seems a lot easier than the first, which had some extremely frustrating parts to me. Maybe my perspective has changed, but I find it much less of a struggle and it feels like the game gives you more tools to handle combat situations. I'm at level 110 with just over 100 hours played and about to check out the Mausoleum of Evil mission. A lot of my playtime has been spent doing expeditions with random players, which is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I've yet to come across a group that can actually complete The High Spirited Demon, not that I'm judging. That's a seriously hard mission with a pushover boss.
I'm curious to know what missions and bosses have given you guys the most trouble. Hardest missions overall for me have been A Way Out, Bird in a Cage and The High Spirited Demon. Hardest bosses have been Azai Nagamasa, Tatarimokke and Shibata Katsuie. Azai in particular was a real asshole for me, I just can't seem to cope with the constant counterattacking he does.
I'd also like to hear some advice about stats. I got courage up to 52, heart 15, magic 30. I'm currently trying to pump up stamina so I can wear some of the heavier armor and stay in B agility and toughness. Even the medium weight armor has gotten too heavy. Is this a good idea?
