- High burst damage
- High AOE damage
- Easy to Play
- Great solo
- No healing
- Low Range
- Low Sustain
Overview
The Heavenquaker Spear alongside the Stragetic Sword make up for one of the best close range DPS in Where Winds Meet, with high AOE damage thanks to Sober Sorrow and Sweep all from the Spear side of the build, offering incredible clear on normal mobs as both skills hit all enemies in a 360 around the user, dealing high damage. This is your bread and butter as it allows you to stack up mobs and kill them all at once with ease.
Martial Arts
Inner Way
Morale Chant is a fantastic choice for boosting DPS as every hit has a chance to increase damage while both 
Sword Horizon and 
Bitter Seasons offer high DoT potential, not only bleeding targets but also applying a poison that cannot be ignored. Wrap up the Inner Ways with 
Seasonal Edge to boost your stats whenever you use the Dual-Weapon Skill, offering a nice boost to your overall damage. Another decent option remains the 
Wolfchaser's Art which pairs perfectly. Another decent defensive choice is 
Evening Snow as you get this early and can use it to help get that boost of extra HP.
Mystic Skills
Use 
Ghost Bind to freeze enemies and allow you to stack up enemies for high AOE damage while both 
Dragon's Breath and 
Lion's Roar are perfect for doing damage even without using your main weapon skills if you want to deal AOE damage with ease. 
Meridian Touch is perfect for immobilizing single targets while also being a great choice for out-of-combat adventures like if you are looking to loot chests. Naturally, 
Veil of Stillness has many uses (being invisible is very useful in Where Winds Meet).
Rotations
Start the rotation using 
Strategic Sword so you can swap into the 
Heavenquaker Spear. Begin by using 
Dual-Weapon Skill to buff yourself while stacking enemies before using Ghost Bind to freeze them together. Once they are frozen, use Sweep All to deal damage and also lower their defenses. Continue with Sober Sorrow for another damage boost for your Dragon's Breath and Lion's Roar Finish off the rotation by switching to your Strategic Sword and using Inner Balance Strike to apply bleeds and move back.
Begin the rotation with 
Inner Track Slash to dash onto a mob and deal high damage before using 
Inner Balance Strike III to move back and wind up a full 
Second Track Slash to move close again. Finish the rotaiton using Dual-Weapon Skill to swap into your Heavenquaker Spear and use both 
Sober Sorrow and 
Sweep All.
