Mortal Rope Dart & Nameless Spear PvP Build
- Good DPS
- Great CC
- Good Catch Potential
- High Skill Ceiling
- Stationary Gameplay
Overview
In this PVP build, you use the
Mortal Rope Dart for its ability to deal high damage while also having a temporary pet that adds an extra attack whenever you use Light Attacks on a target. Using
Bladebound Thread gives the option of pulling them into close range where you can dominate them with ease. Of course, the
Nameless Spear adds great follow-up by using the
Qiankun's Lock in order to abuse the stun lock potential, letting you deal high damage as a follow-up. While this build is capable of doing good damage, the build can struggle with highly mobile targets and requires good practice and experience to play well versus those builds.
Martial Arts
Inner Way
Seasonal Edge is a fantastic Inner Way to add extra damage as you receive a buff every time you use
Dual-Weapon Skill, making it a great choice for the build as you switch weapons often enough.
Morale Chant is one of the strongest PvP Inner Ways in Where Winds Meet, and is considered a core choice for most builds as it adds extra damage with every hit you land on an enemy. For PvP, you should take
Trapped Beast, as it provides an extra layer of defense by automatically activating whenever your HP is low enough.
With
Vendetta, whenever you use
Bladebound Thread, you also apply a longer lasting Vendetta Token debuff, allowing your rat pet to deal increased damage for an extended duration.
Mystic Skills
Dragon's Breath is a core defensive skill and it also applies damage over time, and you can cancel its animation with Deflect to cut the animation short and not remain stuck in the animation. Once
Dragon's Breath is used the first time, you gain the Intoxicated buff and this is what allows you to cast the
Dragon's Breath instantly.
Cloud Steps is extremely useful for engaging, disengaging, dodging incoming attacks. Keep in mind however that this can be blocked, so be careful how you use it.
Yaksha Rush can combo with
Free Morph so you can air juggle enemies into the air. You can also swap
Yaksha Rush for
Wolflike Frenzy as it also combos perfectly with
Free Morph.
Talon Strike is yet another damage skill that does great damage but can also be used to CC, knocking down players quickly.
Another must-have is
Serene Breeze, which breaks you out of CC and enemy attack chains, letting you safely reset and get back into the fight.
Golden Body is also a strong defensive option, giving you full CC immunity for its duration and helping you survive or even finish a fight when its getting close to a loss or if you are facing a build using
Infernal Twinblades.
Rotations
- Buff up with
Rodent Rampage to get your rat out. Then, use
Bladebound Thread and Light Attacks so your damage is synced with the rat damage once you pulled them in. As the combo is about to end, swap into
Nameless Spear with
Dual-Weapon Skill so you can continue the rotation.
- Use
Qiankun's Lock to stun the target then use
Dragon's Breath, cancel out of it with Deflect and follow up using
Yaksha Rush straight into
Free Morph.
