>Yeah managing stamina
You don't "manage stamina" in Nioh. Nioh gear and flux is designed to give you infinite stamina so you aren't "managing" anything. You develop the muscle memory to perform the expected inputs after every action and then you never think about stamina ever again

What you need to know about Nioh is that a lot of people who praise it for this specifically are young console players who have no background in any of the older genres. So they don't play fighters, they don't play RTS, they don't play any of the messier FPS games or even old MMO/RPGs. Nioh is literally the first game that has ever tested them on finger gymnastics and they are super hype about a game asking them to press more than one button per second. They won't admit that the depth and frequency of the actual decision making in Nioh isn't any greater than any other soulslike despite the number of buttons being pressed, and in many cases there is less thought behind those decisions because there are so few risks or penalties associated with something like, going into low stance, holding block and mashing low dodge away from things

The truth is the player character in Nioh is overpowered. That power is gated behind the muscle memory you need to build to be able to press the right buttons in sequence, but once you've passed that relatively low hurdle you'll realise you can get away with all sorts of scrappy low IQ gameplay simply because your grossly overpowered character is so forgiving
