A quick guide on how to navigate menus and use shortcuts to view and understand armor set bonuses in Nioh 3, courtesy of Polygon.
Navigating the deep gear systems in Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo's latest Soulslike release requires careful planning, especially when building out optimal loadouts. In Nioh 3, equipping multiple pieces of gear from the same set grants passive stat boosts that can completely define your character build. However, finding these specific bonuses and understanding how they scale as you add more pieces is not immediately clear from the standard equipment menu.
As detailed in a recent guide by Polygon, players need to navigate to their equipment screen and locate items featuring green text, which indicates they belong to a specific set along with a counter for currently equipped pieces. By selecting the item and using the controller shortcut of holding L2 and pressing left on the D-pad, or pressing C on a keyboard, players can cycle through to a dedicated stat screen displaying the full ladder of set bonuses from two pieces all the way up to six.
To make sense of the more cryptic stat names, players can toggle detailed tooltips by pressing the lower half of the PS5 touch pad or the G key on a keyboard. This extra layer of clarity helps the community optimize their builds without relying entirely on guesswork.
