Nameless Sword & Vernal Umbrella PvP Build
- Great CC
- Good Burst Damage
- Good Range
- High Skill Ceiling
Overview
This build focuses on doing good damage while also having good mobility thanks to the 
Nameless Sword and its latch attack, the 
Daunting Strike which can be used to catch enemies off guard with ease. Mix this with the ability of stunning enemies from range, fishing for possible catches that allow you to carry on with combos while the enemies are forced to either use 
Serene Breeze or take the high damage that follows up. While this build isn't too easy to get into and takes a bit of time to learn due to the many skills that require good timing, it remains very rewarding to play as it does very well in all PVP scenarios.
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 greatly boosts your overall damage and gives you more chances to execute your full combo once Sword Morph is leveled.
Morale Chant is an excellent choice 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 giving it an additional charge, making it easier to catch enemies off guard and set up combos or just pair it with 
Spring Away repeatedly in order to do damage while staying at range. Since this build makes heavy use of 
Dual-Weapon Skill, 
Seasonal Edge is a natural fit, adding extra damage and value every time you swap weapons.
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
The most important Mystic Skill for PVP remains Serene Breeze, giving you the option to break out of CC and prevents you from getting locked down in enemy combos. 
Leaping Toad is a solid defensive damage skill that also applies strong Qi damage. 
Meridian Touch is great for ranged pokes and can be used to execute enemies once their Qi bar is depleted.
Cloud Steps is excellent for catching enemies off guard and quickly closing the gap. 
Dragon's Breath is strong at the end of combos or after baiting opponents into your attacks, adding a DoT that helps prevent them from making a comeback. Cloud Steps also provides great mobility and a reliable engage tool unless blocked. To beat defensive players, use 
Talon Strike or 
Yaksha Rush to break through Blocks and overwhelm opponents who rely heavily on block spamming.
Rotations
- First you want to catch an enemy off-guard with Spring Sorrow and stun them before diving in with Daunting Strike. Don't do the entire rotation though as most of it can be blocked, instead, rely on the enemy preparing to block and use Talon Strike to break through it and knock them down before using
Shadow Step to deal damage and jump back away ready to do it all over again. You can also opt for an agressive move by using 
Soaring Spin instead for some free damage.
- This is the loose rotation you should use when trying to keep the fight at range. Use Spring Sorrow to stun a player from range before following up with Spring Away but make sure that you don't overextend this as it can be parried and you will lose your Qi very quickly. Use Shadow Step to move away from the enemy and deal damage before using Vagrant Sword to force the enemy back unless they are ready to take a lot of damge. This works particularly well once Sword Morph is upgraded as you get the chance to release more waves out of Vagrant Sword.
- Use Spring Sorrow again to fish for another CC and either go into the Dive-In rotation or use Shadow Step again followed by Dragon's Breath to keep your defense up.
