Finally got to start playing Sunday. Made it to the second stage last night after completing that side mission. Up to the second shrine now.
Originally wel in on dual katana but I've reverted to single katana for the most part. I like that some of the old combo endera are now standalone attacks and the combat system is really exhanced. I like the changes so far, having a lot more fun this time around (probably from a lack of weapon degradation).

run from her don't try and dodge her. hit her twice during her recovery then back off and repeat. its not particularly glorious or fun, but it does get the job done with minimal effort.

This is the mimic squirrel(?) that transforms into you.
These are two new gestures from encountering it twice.
If it appears after you open the box don't attack. Lock on to it and perform a gesture towards it. I think specific gestures unlock specific ones from it. Afterwards, wait until it responds to you (he'll even follow you and watch you attack other soldiers/yokais and it'll even laugh) attack it and the gesture will be awarded to you as a drop.

Afaik you only get 2 gestures from those guys: ”Frustration” and “Overjoyed”
”Frustration” they perform a gesture and you do another one, or nothing at all and ”Overjoyed” if you mirror their gesture properly. Not sure how to get the ”Nioh Stance(Resolute)” I have this one as well and on a save where I only encountered one mimic (which officially gave me the “Overjoyed” gesture)
I do not.
What are your favorite skills?
Katana "Haze II": The most powerfull katana skill...and maybe the most powerful (and cool) weapon skill. It takes a few seconds to kill any enemy. Needs to be toned down a bit. I think the opponent shouldn't fall after the hit.
Katana "Morning Moon" : Great against bosses, low hitbox enemies and narrow places.
Spear "Piercing Rain" with damage upgrade: Devastating against single enemy.
Spear "Windmill II" : Very usefull against multiple enemies that don't have hyper armor.
Ninja "Smoke Ball" and "Suppa" : Almost feels like cheating.
Onmyo "Talisman Sloth" : When you have to deal with more than one boss type enemies.
(I don't use dual katana and axe.)

What level? Highest equipment I've been able to farm is 36.

P-P-P-P-P-P-POWER!
How times have changed.
Finally found a mimic chest guy! Got the happy emote.
The trick is to farm Tachibana. He regularly drops level 34-36 equipment, which you can then Soul Match using the Blacksmith.
