Hello,
1. In Nioh 2, Agility is a stat category derived from your current equipment weight relative to your total equipment weight limit. It's labeled A, B, C, or D on your status screen.
A Agility = Fastest Ki recovery, best dodge i-frames, lowest Ki consumption for dodging/blocking.
C/D Agility = Slower Ki recovery, heavier stamina (Ki) costs for actions like dodging and blocking.
However — Agility DOES NOT directly affect attack speed
2. Yes — there is an "Attack Speed" mechanic in Nioh 2, but it's not tied to Agility. Instead:
Attack Speed Up effects can come from:
Certain armor set bonuses (like Red Demon Armor’s "Attack Speed Up" on grapple or low health)
Accessories (like Yasakani Magatama or other rare accessories with attack speed bonuses)
Scrolls of the Demon or Scrolls of the Wise (endgame loot)
Onmyo Magic Buffs (like Quick Change Scroll doesn't increase attack speed, but other talismans may boost certain movement or skill performance)
Guardian Spirit abilities or Soul Cores in some cases
