Heavenquaker Spear & Inkwell Fan PvE Build
- Good AOE DPS
- Great Defenses
- Great CC
- No Self-healing
- Low-ish DPS
- High APM
Overview
This build combines the CC potential of the Fan with the AOE damage the
Heavenquaker Spear is more than capable of. This build is great for those looking to combine both melee and medium ranged attacks while being able to control fights with
Jadewind Shield, letting you deal with mobs one at a time or simply giving you enough time to get healed.
Peak's Springless Silence is another very strong skill for CCing enemies as it knocks enemies into the air but can also combo very well with
Yaksha Rush.
Inkwell Fan's
Forsaken Fame is another incredible CC skill that knocks enemies up into the air and allows you to combo further.
Martial Arts
Gear
While the Gear part of the build is still under development and more information will come soon, you should use the Veil of the Willow + Beyond the Chill set combo and make sure to keep the buff active by weaving in Heavy and Light attacks as needed. This part of the build is still under construction as far as specific stats go.
Inner Way
Morale Chant is a strong choice for boosting DPS because every hit can raise your damage, and it’s one of the best damage Inner Ways in the game. Adding
Vital Leech gives you steady healing during fights, since the execution heal is very useful, especially in open-world exploration.
Adaptive Steel is another reliable option and works great with the
Heavenquaker Spear because it makes your skills ignore enemy armor. And lastly,
Star Reacher is an ideal pick for increasing Airborne Damage, fitting smoothly into the build.
Mystic Skills
For handling groups,
Ghost Bind is very strong. It pulls enemies close together so you and your team can easily hit them with big AoE. For single targets,
Talon Strike is reliable because it knocks enemies down, sets up quick moves like
Soaring Spin, and helps break their Qi bar so you can finish them fast. To keep steady pressure on bosses,
Leaping Toad is a great pick. Its poison builds up good damage over time, and once upgraded, it spreads to nearby enemies and deals several explosive hits, giving you extra AoE damage. For combo damage,
Dragon's Breath is also strong thanks to its burn effect, and when you follow it with
Drunken Poet, each hit causes extra burn explosions while giving you time to recover stamina.
Rotations
- Start with
Free Morph to deal damage and also knock an enemy into the air before continuing with
Moon Shatter Spring while the enemy is still in the air, keeping the enemy locked there before using
Wolflike Frenzy to deal damage before transitioning into
Talon Strike to knock them down. Pop the enemy back into the air using
Peak's Springless Silence then use
Moon Shatter Spring again to juggle the enemy in the air.
Peak's Springless Silence can then be reused to teleport to your clone so you can use Light Attacks from range.
Free Morph can be swapped for
Yaksha Rush or you can use your
Forsaken Fame to knock enemies up if you have the chance to charge it.
- Begin with
Vernal Umbrella, then use
Ghost Bind to freeze enemies in place. Swap to
Heavenquaker Spear with
Dual-Weapon Skill to buff yourself, then use
Sweep All to debuff enemies so your next
Sober Sorrow hits harder.
