Learn Oda's boss moves and Edward Kelley's attacks in Nioh 3, including how to dodge sword combos and elemental enhancements.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Oda's Sword Combos: Oda uses several sword attacks. His overhead attack is charged with an element and can be dodged to the side. His normal combo is up to five quick, wide hits; dodge roll straight back to escape his range. He also has a straight sword-thrust, used at range, which covers significant ground and can be performed twice consecutively. The "Quadrisect" move is only usable during Living Weapons. All his combo attacks are short-range; rolling back is effective.
  2. 2
    Fire Enhanced: Oda enhances himself with fire, potentially inflicting the Fire status effect (damage over time). He performs a supernatural jumping attack where he leaps high and falls with his sword, creating a small area of attack. Get away when he warps upward to stay safe.
  3. 3
    Lightning Enhanced: Oda's sword is infused with lightning, which can slow your movement if the status effect stacks. He can call down lightning strikes, similar to Nue, but with six strikes in a row instead of four. Keep moving to stay safe.
  4. 4
    Ice Enhanced: Oda uses ice/water powers, which can reduce your defense. He gains the "Icicle Spear" attack, shooting six icicles one at a time from behind him. Stay on the move and roll to avoid them.
  5. 5
    Earth Enhanced: This enhancement doubles your Ki cost when you act. Oda also uses "Earth Mines," purple areas on the ground that inflict low earth damage and stack the earth effect if stepped in.
  6. 6
    Wind Enhanced: Oda gains a wind-enhanced sword that can lower your attack if the wind status is applied. He also uses the "Wind Slash" move, slicing the air to create wind blades directly in front of him and diagonally. These cannot be blocked, so roll to the sides.
  7. 7
    Edward Kelley Encounter: Kelley warps around the arena, often behind you, to perform his "Dark Shard Lunge" move. Roll away from your back when he warps. You can semi-predict his reappearance and punish him.
  8. 8
    Kelley's Defensive Moves: If you get too close, Kelley uses "Ouroboros Flame," "Ouroboros Wind," and a blocking move. During the blocking move, he holds his arms forward, and Ouroboros' scales appear to block damage when you attack.
Tips
  • When Oda uses his charged elemental overhead sword attack, dodge to the side.
  • For Oda's five-hit sword combo, dodge roll straight back.
  • When Oda jumps high for his fire-enhanced attack, move away from him.
  • To avoid Oda's lightning strikes, keep moving.
  • To avoid Oda's icicle spears, stay on the move and roll.
  • Be aware that Earth Enhanced makes your Ki cost double when you act.
  • For Oda's Wind Slash, roll to the sides as it cannot be blocked.
  • When Edward Kelley warps, roll away from your back to avoid his "Dark Shard Lunge."
