Overview

This build mixes two fans to give you strong healing and solid control in PvP. The Inkwell FanInkwell Fan brings good ranged pressure and air juggle CC, letting you knock enemies up and keep them under control while staying safe. It helps you set up kills or peel for teammates without needing to fully commit.

The Panacea FanPanacea Fan gives the build its real strength. You can heal yourself and allies during fights, which is especially powerful in group PvP. This lets you move between supporting your team and helping finish enemies. While the damage is lower than pure DPS builds, the mix of healing, CC, and safe pressure makes this a very reliable hybrid option for players of any skill level.

Restoring Blossom

Morale ChantMorale Chant is still the core Inner Way for this build. Every hit or heal raises both your damage and healing, and keeping stacks is very easy with two Fans, stacking up if you deal damage or heal.

For steady healing, Restoring BlossomRestoring Blossom is a great pick. It boosts all healing you do and makes the Panacea FanPanacea Fan much stronger in both solo 1vs1 arena and group PVP.

Royal RemedyRoyal Remedy adds even more sustain by improving Cloudburst HealingCloudburst Healing and restoring extra Dew. This helps you manage resources better and also revives allies with more HP based on how much Dew you have.

To stay safe and mobile, Evasive ChargeEvasive Charge is very strong. It lets you dodge more often and refunds endurance when you Perfect Dodge, making it much harder for enemies to pin you down.


Mystic Skills

Talon Strike
Golden Body
Yaksha Rush
Leaping Toad
Serene Breeze
Dragon's Breath
Cloud Steps
Meridian Touch

A non-negotiable skill in PVP is the Serene BreezeSerene Breeze. It breaks CC right away, lets you escape enemy combos, and helps you reset fights. Skipping this in PvP puts you at a huge disadvantage and is considered inting.

For ranged pressure, Meridian TouchMeridian Touch is very useful. It lets you poke safely from afar and Execute low HP enemies without needing to walk into enemies. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath also fits well here, adding burn damage to single targets or groups and keeping pressure while you play more defensively.

If enemies jump on you, Talon StrikeTalon Strike and Yaksha RushYaksha Rush are great counters. Both knock enemies down and go through block, making them strong against aggressive or block-heavy players. Leaping ToadLeaping Toad is another solid choice since it deals good damage, applies poison that staggers enemies and also spreads to other enemies in range if they bring the poison into their own backline.

For movement and surprise plays, Cloud StepsCloud Steps helps you reposition or close gaps fast. It can be blocked if predicted, so use it when enemies are distracted or already committed. Golden BodyGolden Body is also very strong, giving you protection and Fortitude. It can even help nearby allies stay safe when fights turn bad as it can be extended to party members.
