Nameless Sword & Vernal Umbrella PvE Build
- Great CC
- Good Burst Damage
- Good Range
- High Skill Ceiling
- Squishy
Overview
This PVE build is perfect for those looking to play at medium range, staying away from immediate danger while still doing incredible damage thanks to the 
Nameless Sword 
Vagrant Sword which throws multiple waves of energy once properly set up for. Mobility isn't lacking in this build either as 
Daunting Strike lets you latch onto enemies and back on top of bosses as needed whenever it isn't used for pure mobility in any direction, using it to move towards or away from mechanics to avoid them. 
Vernal Umbrella cannot be ignored either as its full ranged DPS is incredible while also having the opportunity for CC by using 
Spring Sorrow.
Martial Arts
Inner Way
Sword Morph is a crucial Inner Way for this build, as it increases the number of waves your Vagrant Sword can release. This is used right after gaining the shield from Daunting Strike. However, once upgraded, the Sword Morph can also be used without the need for a shield, being able to use it for 5 seconds after the use of 
Shadow Step.
Morale Chant is an excellent pick for increasing DPS, since it’s easy to stack up to five stacks and gain strong flat damage. Adding 
Blossom Barrage further enhances Spring Sorrow by granting an extra charge while also adding an extra damage boost thanks to it. Use 
Breaking Point to debuff the boss and increase the damage done to it whenever its finally exhausted.
Gear
While the Gear part of the build is still under development and more information will come soon, you should use the Hawkwing + Eaglerise set combo. This part of the build is still under construction as far as specific stats go.
Mystic Skills
Ghost Bind is an incredibly powerful AoE CC support skill, helping you set up groups of mobs for yourself or your allies. Another strong CC option is 
Talon Strike, which knocks down a target for easy follow-ups, like the 
Soaring Spin for a burst of damage. 
Dragon's Breath deals damage over time on its own while and can be stacked perfectly on bosses but also combos perfectly into 
Drunken Poet, making the Dragon's Breath debuff explode for extra damage with every hit you manage using Drunken Poet.
Leaping Toad is another very strong skill for PVE as it puts up a poison, does good damage and once upgraded... the poison also spreads to other enemies, creating multiple explosions for good AOE damage.
Rotations
- Begin with Dragon's Breath & Leaping Toad as damage over time skills that will burn down the boss while you yo do the rest of the rotation. You can break any part of the rest of the rotation to do an instant Dragon's Breath before using Deflect to cancel the animation just to make sure the debuff stays on.
- Use Spring Sorrow along with a Light Attack Combo from the Vernal Umbrella to build Blossoms before swapping to the Nameless Sword.
- Daunting Strike should be used next before using Shadow Step & Vagrant Sword to maximize the damage done. Swap back to the Vernal Umbrella then use Dragon's Breath again to keep the debuff up before using Drunken Poet to still deal good damage while building Endurance back up.
- Use Spring Sorrow again then follow up
Spring Away to deal damage from range and build up more Blossoms. Finish up the rotation with 
Unfading Flower before finally swapping back to the Nameless Sword and the Daunting Strike until your Endurance builds up again and you can repeat the rotation.
