Overview

This build is a great option for those players that enjoy a more different, combo-based weapon combination in PvP in Where Winds Meet. The Inkwell FanInkwell Fan brings notable mobility, ranged pressure, and strong air-juggle potential while also giving you the option of using Jadewind ShieldJadewind Shield to block out enemies and play defensively against aggressive in-your-face weapons like the Strategic SwordStrategic Sword.

Of course, the combo potential comes from the Infernal TwinbladesInfernal Twinblades, capable of dealing a lot of single target damage on its own and perform very well in 1vs1 arenas due to its long combos and mobility. Addled MindAddled Mind and Peak's Springless SilencePeak's Springless Silence are the perfect combination for staying on top of enemies and giving them no room to breathe.

In PVP, Serene BreezeSerene Breeze is your most important Mystic Skill. It breaks you out of CC chains and gives you a chance to reset or turn the fight around.

For crowd control and Qi damage, Leaping ToadLeaping Toad and Talon StrikeTalon Strike are both reliable picks since they can knock enemies down. Talon StrikeTalon Strike hits for lower damage and is harder to land, but it becomes very useful against players who rely on blocking because it can pass straight through their guard.

Cloud StepsCloud Steps helps you close distance unexpectedly and pressure opponents who are trying to disengage, though enemies can still block it if they anticipate the move. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath works well for fast follow-up damage during combos and can even be used defensively when someone rushes you or traps you against a wall.

To apply ranged pressure, Meridian TouchMeridian Touch is a great option. It can fake out enemy reactions or be used to Execute weakened targets from afar. For survivability, Golden BodyGolden Body remains one of the strongest defensive abilities. Its vitality cost is high, but the protection it provides along with Fortitude (CC immunity) makes it extremely valuable in tough engagements.
