Diving Into Where Winds Meet's Weapon Styles

Sword, Spear, Fan – Quick Breakdown

Sword shines with Nameless Sword's insane burst and mobility from zippy light combos, or Vagrant Sword's charged bounce. Spear? Nameless Spear nails long-range lights, staggers bosses with heavies, and drops Storm Dance for flair. Fan brings Panacea Fan's Dew resource to fuel Cloudburst's AoE heal (20s CD), plus Light Dust After Morning Rain for clutch revives.

Why obsess over the right pick? Dual-equip for hybrids like Sword + Spear damage spikes. PvP? Sword's burst dominates. PvE leans Spear's tankiness. Co-op screams Fan heals. Nov 22, 2025 tier lists lock Nameless Sword/Spear and Panacea Fan in S-Tier across the board.

Sword Style: All About That Power Precision Punch

Nameless Sword (Bellstrike-Splendor) cranks 3-hit heavy combos, Shadow Step, and Daunting Strike (3s shield). Then there's Strategic Sword (Bellstrike-Umbra) stacking bleeds for boss-melting DPS via Second Track Slash.

• Pros: Tops PvP burst and mobility; deletes single targets or kites like a pro; pairs killer with Nameless Spear (Swallowcall 2/4 set + Calmwaters hybrid).
• Data: Attack ★★★★★, Affinity Ratio ★★★★★ substats; Evening Snow Inner Way recovers 3% HP +600 under 60% HP (12s CD).
• Cons: Range lags Spear; needs stacks to grind sustained damage.

How to Get It Rolling:

1. Unlock Nameless Sword by default.
2. Nab Strategic via Skill Theft: Develop menu > Martial Arts > Skill Theft > Dungeon Dragon Keys > snag those yellow circles.
3. Grab Xiong Da for 500 coins or hit the Season Shop (100 Jade Fish).

Ever tried Sword in a sweaty duel? Feels like cheating.

Spear Style: Poke, Reach, and Total Control

Nameless Spear (Bellstrike-Splendor) loves charged attacks and Qiankun’s Lock to immobilize while slashing endurance. Heavenquaker (Bellstrike-Umbra) sweeps AoE with bleed DoT. Stormbreaker (Stonesplit-Might, level 3 mail)? Storm Roar (20s CD, 8s Shock, 20% damage reduction; 40% vs multiplayer bosses), Thunder Shock (0.2s CD, 8s Vulnerability).

• Pros: Reach god, stagger/guard break master; owns PvE bosses; builds Fighting Spirit for Drumbeat/Fortitude bursts.
• Data: +1 Fighting Spirit bar cap, 2% DMG reduction per 6k Max HP (up to 10% at 30k HP); A/S-Tier across lists.
• Cons: Close-range sucks; skills guzzle Qi. (Editor note: I've tanked raids on this – worth the Qi management grind.)

Steps to Spear Domination:

1. Story hands you Nameless.
2. Raging Tides Sect or Skill Theft for Heavenquaker Sanctum.
3. Tune Stormbreaker at tiers 41/51/56 with purple/gold stones on substats.

Fan Style: Dodge, Heal, Evade Like a Ghost

Panacea Fan (Silkbind-Deluge) spits 4-strike lights/heavy whirls (3/5/12 Dew), Royal Remedy boosting +10% healing/Dew gen. Inkwell (Silkbind-Jade) airs out combos (B/C-Tier DPS, solid enough).

• Pros: Co-op revive/AoE heal queen; ranged CC wizard; meshes with Soulshade Umbrella (Ivorybloom + Whirlsnow gear).
• Data: Cloudburst Dew gen; Light Dust resurrects (20s CD heals).
• Cons: DPS underwhelms; launches can flake.

Unlock Path:

1. Qi Sheng reward or Silver Needles Sect.
2. Skill Theft Inkwell Sanctum or Midnight Mercy.
3. Hammer Dew combos first.

Fans feel niche – but in a raid wipe? Game-changer.

Sword vs Spear vs Fan: The Real Showdown

Sword rules PvP mobility/burst. Spear claims PvE reach/AoE. Fan? Co-op utility beast.

• PvE: Spear (Stormbreaker tank + Panacea heals) edges Sword's single-target > Fan support. Data backs it.
• PvP: Sword (Nameless burst) > Spear range > Fan evasion.
• Builds:
  • Nameless Sword + Spear (Bellstrike-Splendor): mobility/hybrid DPS.
  • Strategic Sword + Heavenquaker (Bellstrike-Umbra): bleed ramp-up (Hawkwing 2/4 + Eaglerise).
  • Panacea Fan + Soulshade (Silkbind-Deluge): burst/sustained heals.

Damage Breakdown: Sword's high burst/bleed DoT; Spear's poke stacks/20% reduction; Fan's utility/10% heal amp.

Matchup Plays:

1. Bosses: Spear sweeps crush Sword dashes.
2. Co-op: Time Fan Cloudburst perfectly.
3. Parries: Sword intercepts Spear thrusts.

Pro Tips and Killer Combos

Chains That Slap:

• Sword: Vagrant bounce > Daunting Strike shield.
• Spear: Storm Dance > Qiankun’s Lock immobilize.
• Fan: Heavy whirl (12 Dew) > Cloudburst AoE.

Watch Out:

• Sword: Don't overcommit sans parries.
• Spear: Close gaps – sweeps over thrusts.
• Fan: Avoid Dew famine – Royal Remedy saves.

Mystic extras: Cloud Step stomp (Qi/Poise cut); Tai Chi pull (10s CD).

(My take: Spear chains feel most fluid post-beta tweaks.)
