Nioh 3 – Best weapon for parrying?

Hey guys,

I played quite a bit of Nioh 2 and really enjoyed it overall – especially in co-op. The only things that kinda annoyed me were the insane loot spam and some recycled levels, but playing with a friend made it totally worth it.

From what I understand, Nioh 3 seems to lean more into parrying now? As a huge Sekiro fan, that honestly sounds awesome to me.

So I was wondering: what weapon would you recommend if I want to focus on parrying? Do different weapons even make a big difference here, or is it more of a general mechanic?

Right now I’m most interested in dual swords – would those be a good fit for a parry-focused playstyle?

Also, quick side question:
I’m planning to play co-op again with a friend tomorrow (we’re basically doing a small “PlayStation LAN party” 😄). How does co-op work in Nioh 3? Can you jump in together pretty quickly, or do you first have to go through a bunch of solo/tutorial missions?

Thanks in advance!
