What’s not to love? Plus Hatchets have one of the best movesets in Nioh 2.
Dual swords and Hatchets – Both of these rely on Skill as their main scaling stat, you’ll do max damage with both just by leveling Skill. There are several weapon pairs that pop out right from the get go: Weapon Stat Scaling (C & B+) Best Weapon Pairs This means investing in a C scaling stat is actually 75% as effective as investing in the primary B+ scaling stat. For the B+ scaling stat, this is around a 2.39 damage a level (for the weapons being tested, this magnitude will vary, but not the percentage difference). For the C scaling stat, this is around 1.79 damage a level. Looking at the damage difference from levels 5-70, the damage dealt seems to increase a static amount per stat level. The difference in damage gained per level actually seems to be relatively small, between a C scaling stat, and a B+ scaling stat. Or, if you prefer the sword or kurisgama, viably increase their damage as a secondary. Therefore, if you wanted to maximise damage, you could invest only in skill and wield dual swords/hatchets as your two weapons.
Skill, for example, is the main stat for both dual swords and hatchets, while also being the secondary for swords (tachi) and kusarigama. Immediately you can see that some stats are useful for multiple different weapons. While this matters less at endgame (due to the remodelling system letting you alter stat scaling), you need to choose wisely in order to actually reach that milestone.
