Overview

The Nameless SpearNameless Spear is great for players who want an easier playstyle in Where Winds Meet. Its charged skills do not need tricky combos, so you can deal good damage with very little effort.

With Jadewind ShieldJadewind Shield, you can control how close other players get to you. If you keep your distance, enemies will have a hard time reaching you, giving you time to swap to the Nameless SpearNameless Spear and land Qiankun's LockQiankun's Lock to win the trade. For extra CC, Peak's Springless SilencePeak's Springless Silence knocks enemies into the air and sets up easy follow-ups. It also works well with Yaksha RushYaksha Rush or Wolflike FrenzyWolflike Frenzy for more air combos.

The Inkwell FanInkwell Fan also brings Forsaken FameForsaken Fame, a strong CC skill that launches enemies upward, letting you extend the combo without trouble.

Star Reacher

To increase your damage on airborne targets, Star ReacherStar Reacher is a strong choice but can be swapped out for Fivefold BleedFivefold Bleed on bosses. It boosts Airborne Damage and gets even better when upgraded. For more overall DPS, Adaptive SteelAdaptive Steel works very well because it makes your attacks ignore enemy armor adding extra damage to your spear.

Mountain's MightMountain's Might is also important since it reduces endurance cost and makes your Nameless SpearNameless Spear do more damage by being able to use its skills more often without draining your whole endurance bar. And like many builds in the game, Morale ChantMorale Chant remains one of the best Inner Ways. Every hit you land raises your damage, helping you build steady DPS throughout each fight.


Mystic Skills

Talon Strike
Soaring Spin
Drunken Poet
Free Morph
Ghost Bind
Dragon's Breath
Wolflike Frenzy
Leaping Toad

For groups of enemies, Ghost BindGhost Bind is one of your strongest skills because it pulls mobs into one spot, making it easy to hit them with big AoE attacks. Against single targets, Talon StrikeTalon Strike is useful since it knocks enemies down, lets you follow up with moves like Soaring SpinSoaring Spin, and helps break their Qi bar so you can finish them off faster.

For boss fights, Leaping ToadLeaping Toad is a great option. Its poison damage builds up over time, and when upgraded, it spreads to nearby enemies and causes extra explosive hits for more AoE. For combo damage, Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath is strong because of its burn effect. It can be followed up with Drunken PoetDrunken Poet right after, each hit creates more burn explosions and gives you time to recover stamina while still dealing good damage.
