Greater Nue

The Greater Nue is one of the confirmed Genma types in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Capcom has described it as a ferocious, lightning-wielding chimera, reimagined in the game's dark-fantasy take on Japanese folklore.

Mythological Roots

The Nue is a creature from classical Japanese folklore, typically portrayed as a composite being with parts from several animals. The Greater Nue pushes that chimeric design further, adding lightning control on top of the traditional hybrid form.

Combat

The Greater Nue is the kind of encounter the game's reactive combat is tuned around. Lightning-charged attacks telegraph with specific timing cues, which gives disciplined players clean parry and dodge windows while punishing anyone who tries to trade hits with it.
