How to Respec in Nioh 3

by

A standout feature in Nioh 3 is the complete freedom it gives you to change your character’s build. Unlike many similar games that make respecifying stats costly or difficult, Nioh 3 lets you experiment with different weapons and playstyles without any restrictions, making it easy to try new things.

This guide explains how to completely reset your character’s abilities and fighting skills, letting you start the game over with a fresh character. Read on for the steps.

How to Respec Stats in Nioh 3

How to Respec Character Stats in Nioh 3

To reset your character level up stats in Nioh 3, here is what you need to do:

  • Pray at any Shrine or Bodhisattva Statue (if you’re inside a Crucible).
  • Scroll down and select the “Level Up” option.
  • Press 3 (PC) or L3 (PS5/Xbox) to reset all stats.
  • Allocate the stat points according to your preference.
  • Press Space (PC), X (PS5), or A (Xbox) to confirm your selection.
  • Repeat as many times as you want. There is no cost for respeccing your character in Nioh 3.

If you haven’t assigned your stat points and confirm your choices on the Respec screen, you’ll get back the Amrita you spent leveling up, which will lower your character’s level. But be careful! If you die while carrying this refunded Amrita and don’t retrieve it from where you fell, you’ll lose it permanently.

Okay, so basically, any stat boosts you get that aren’t from leveling up are permanent. Like, if I picked a Kusanagi form at the beginning and got a +1 to Strength or Skill, that’s stuck with me – I can’t reset it. It’s a permanent part of my character, no matter what.

How to Respec Skills in Nioh 3

To reset your Martial Arts and Ninjutsu skills in Nioh 3, here is what you need to do:

  • Press Esc (PC) or Start (PS5/Xbox) to open the pause menu.
  • Go to Acquire Martial Arts/Ninjutsu.
  • Use the cursor to navigate to the skills you want to respec.
  • Press 3 (PC) or L3 (PS5/Xbox) to reset your skills.
  • You’ll be prompted by a dialog box with the following options:
    • All Samurai/Ninja Categories: Resets all skill points allocated to the Samurai/Ninja Style, including weapon skill trees.
    • Only Currently Displayed Category: Resets all skill points allocated in the currently opened skill tree.

To completely reset your skills for both Samurai and Ninja in Nioh 3, you’ll need to do this twice. First, open the skill tree for any Samurai style and choose to reset it, selecting “All Samurai Style Categories” when asked. Then, repeat the process for the Ninja skill tree. This will give you back all the points you spent on both Samurai and Ninja skills, and you’ll see the refunded points at the top-right of your screen.
