Sword MorphSword Morph is a crucial skill because it boosts the damage of Vagrant SwordVagrant Sword as long as you maintain the shield granted by Daunting StrikeDaunting Strike. When fully charged, Vagrant SwordVagrant Sword releases multiple waves of energy instead of just one, each dealing massive damage.

Morale ChantMorale Chant is one of the strongest PvP Inner Ways in Where Winds Meet and is considered a core choice for most builds. For PVP, you should take Trapped BeastTrapped Beast as it adds an extra layer of defense by applying a shield when your HP drops low, giving you enough room to survive another combo.

With VendettaVendetta, your Bladebound ThreadBladebound Thread applies a longer-lasting Vendetta Token, allowing your rat to deal increased damage for an extended duration.

Yaksha RushYaksha Rush combos perfectly into Free MorphFree Morph, allowing you to juggle enemies into the air and deal strong follow-up damage. Talon StrikeTalon Strike is also excellent for both dealing damage and knocking enemies down so you can carry on the combo or jump back and away.

Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath is a great defensive skill and it also does DOT damage, and you can cancel its animation with Deflect to immediately continue fighting after applying the burn. After using once, your next Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath casts are instant for the duration of the Intoxicated buff. Once the burn is up, follow up as needed. Cloud StepsCloud Steps is extremely useful for engaging, disengaging, dodging incoming attacks, or quickly closing the gap on your target.

Another must-have is Serene BreezeSerene Breeze, which breaks you out of CC and enemy attack chains, allowing you to safely reset and re-enter the fight. Golden BodyGolden Body is a valuable defensive tool as well, granting full CC immunity for its duration and helping you survive—or even secure a kill—when the situation becomes dangerous.
