** Hatchets are an unusual weapon, smaller axes wielded in pairs. Hatchets strike much faster than the larger Axe, and afford a greater degree of mobility (the highest in the game, in fact). Although they have a shorter reach than the Axe (or the Dual Swords), you are able to throw them, and this means that hatchets have a very unique zoner playstyle that contrasts greatly with the fast-paced melee playstyle other weapons use - by cleverly controlling space, a hatchet user can defeat strong opponents without even once being directly threatened if they use them correctly. They also work fairly well with elemental attacks and Onmyo magic. They are held back by abysmal reach when held in the hand, low direct damage and fairly lackluster melee combos.

* {{BFS}}: Odachis resemble the iconic katana sword but much longer, used for anti-cavalry and anti-spear work. Senji notes that while the odachi is visually intimidating, it is also considered impractical in the Sengoku Jidai and users of the weapon grow fewer and further between. The Odachi can reach out and touch enemies with its long blade and is also capable of wide, sweeping attacks that are difficult to defend against and deal a lot of damage if they hit; the tradeoff is speed, as odachis are much heavier and more cumbersome than a normal sword. Overall, the odachi is a [[GlassCannon weapon for someone who fells that the best defence is a good offence]].
* BladeOnAStick: Spears are a primary weapon in Japanese armies in the Sengoku Jidai, from peasant soldiers to high-ranking elite troops. Because they scale off Constitution primarily, spear users will naturally have fairly large HP pools, and combined with the very long reach and above-average damage potential inherent to spears make them a popular weapon choice with a safe "poking" playstyle.

* EpicFlail: The Kusarigama is an unorthodox weapon consisting of a sickle and a length of chain with a weight on the end. It functions as two weapons in one: the sickle allows you to strike quickly and the chain is very long, even more than a spear. It has some unusual moves that open up interesting plays, and appropriate to its associations with ninja and assassins, it is an ideal weapon choice for somebody looking to use Ninjutsu powers (since it scales off Dexterity). The downside is the weapon lacks a strong guard and any kind of big, one-hit high-damage attacks.
Added DiffLines:
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Though not exactly the "best" weapon choice, Swords ''are'' the most versatile weapon in the game. They boast excellent burst damage and a large amount of active skills, allowing you to customize your playstyle to suit you. It's really hard to go wrong with Swords, especially as an offhand or tertiary weapon.

Adding Ieyasu's line from his final conversation with Hanzo in the base game, which suggests that the eponymous Nioh are meant to be William and Hanzo - though very understated, this does make some amount of sense given their steadfast friendship (or the closest William seems to get to such) and lengthy partnership in Ieyasu's service.

*** Speaking of, Yokai Skills are almost always a significant downgrade to when they were originally used by the Yokai themselves. Many of them have simplified properties, shorter reach, or don't stay out as long and they always, ALWAYS, deal far less damage than they originally did.
