- Great CC
- Easy to Play
- Good Ranged Damage
- Good Heals
- Squishy
- No Ressurection
- Low Damage
Overview
Nameless Sword combining with the
Soulshade Umbrella offers good self and small group healing thanks to the
Echoes of a Thousand Plants constantly healing you and allies nearby without even really having to think about it too much besides staying alive. Another good skill is the
Floating Grace which increases the damage done by you and your allies, useful as a damage boosting CD to use in group fights while also healing a bit. On the other hand, the
Nameless Sword is great for its movement skill and the mobility coming with it, allowing you to jump back and forth as needed throughout a fight.
Martial Arts
Inner Way
Morale Chant is one of the best Inner Ways for boosting both damage and healing, making it a must-have not just for this build but for most builds, as it’s currently the strongest Inner Way in Where Winds Meet. In this build in particular, the passive is incredibly easy to keep up as well as the
Echoes of a Thousand Plants which constantly heals and keeps the
Morale Chant up. The next most important Inner Way is
Evening Snow, which boosts your resistance and overall survivability in PVP, gives you an extra heal, and provides 2 guaranteed critical hits as a strong follow-up whenever you manage to breakthrough to that point. And of course,
Envigorated Warrior is a very strong extra buff as long you don't get hit. Finally, the
Mending Loom is very powerful as it restores Dew and increases healing.
Mystic Skills
Leaping Toad can be used in many situations to knock down and deal damage and is one of the top choices.
Talon Strike is a very good skill to get attention off you when you are being focused, letting you transition straight into
Shadow Step as needed while also doing more damage.
Soaring Spin is a strong offensive skill as well, letting you push in and pressure players and also apply healing reduction on the target.
Golden Body is one of the best defensive Mystic Skills, helping you survive when you’re being focused in PVP.
Serene Breeze is one of the top choices for all PVP, freeing you from CC skills and often saving your life.
Dragon's Breath be another good skill that has multiple uses but works particularly well in a defensive scenario where you can use it to block enemies from attacking you from the front. This casts instantly after you've used it once and gotten the buff, so keep that in mind and try to keep the Intoxicated buff up as much as possible.
Ghostly Steps is also a great defensive choice, giving you easy movement and letting you reposition safely.
Rotations
- Pop up your healing skill by
Echoes of a Thousand Plants so you can heal yourself and others. Then, swap to the
Nameless Sword with
Dual-Weapon Skill. Begin the DPS part of the rotation with
Daunting Strike to latch onto your target and deal strong damage while gaining a shield to protect you. When you are on top of your enemy, use an instant cast
Dragon's Breath to force them either into taking fire damage or back off. You can use
Shadow Step to reposition and use
Vagrant Sword to keep enemies off unless they are ready to take damage again.
Floating Grace: Particularly good for buffing before an attack, increasing damage for both yourself and allies.
Pale Petal: While it isn't the kind of skill you should prioritize, you can use this to keep enemies Exhausted when they are pulled together by allies or otherwise your allies need help keeping enemies down.
