Overview

This setup is one of the strongest healing builds in PvP for Where Winds Meet and works best as a full support role, particularly in group PVP scenarios like prison breaks, 5v5, or guild battles. Using the Panacea FanPanacea Fan together with the Soulshade UmbrellaSoulshade Umbrella gives you very strong healing in almost every situation, while also making you very hard to kill, even when playing solo or being bounty hunted.

The build is made for players who want to support their team instead of focusing on damage. Even though the cooldowns are long, the healing is very reliable and easy to pump out. Skills like Emerald DewtouchEmerald Dewtouch provide strong healing through heavy attacks, letting you keep allies alive during long fights. Overall, this build shines in group PvP by keeping teammates up while being extremely annoying for enemies to deal with as you have plenty of time to kite around.

Mending Loom

Restoring BlossomRestoring Blossom is very important for this build because it boosts all healing you do without needing extra effort. It makes every heal stronger and helps keep your team alive. Mending LoomMending Loom also plays a big role by improving Echoes of a Thousand PlantsEchoes of a Thousand Plants, restoring Dew and turning it into a very strong near-passive healing tool.

On top of that, Morale ChantMorale Chant remains one of the strongest Inner Ways in the game, even for a full healer build. Every hit or heal increases both your damage and healing, and it stacks very easily during fights by simply using Echoes of a Thousand PlantsEchoes of a Thousand Plants as all hits will stack the buff. Because of this, it should be one of the first Inner Ways you focus on upgrading.


Mystic Skills

Talon Strike
Golden Body
Yaksha Rush
Leaping Toad
Serene Breeze
Dragon's Breath
Cloud Steps
Meridian Touch

Meridian TouchMeridian Touch is nice to have for the build as it lets you stay away from enemies while stilll poking and being able to execute enemies from range if you are fast enough. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath fits perfectly into the build too. It adds burn damage to single targets or groups caught by your team, helping apply pressure even when you are playing more defensively.

To help with CC and staying safe, Talon StrikeTalon Strike and Yaksha RushYaksha Rush are very strong. Both help punish enemies that jump you, being able to knock them down and also go through their blocking. Leaping ToadLeaping Toad is also a solid option, dealing good damage, applying poison, and staggering enemies which can open them up to follow ups or you can spam this one for 3 jumps to deal good damage in a clump of enemies.

For movement and surprise engages, Cloud StepsCloud Steps gives fast mobility to close gaps or reposition as you kind of lack this with the build. It can be blocked if predicted, so use it smartly like when grouping up on an enemy player.

Your most important Mystic Skill in PvP is still Serene BreezeSerene Breeze. It instantly breaks CC, lets you escape long enemy combos, and helps you reset fights. Skipping this skill in PvP puts you at a huge disadvantage and is almost never worth it. Along with that, you have both the Golden BodyGolden Body to gain CC immunity and also extend the skill to allies nearby.

  • Start the fight by using Floating GraceFloating Grace to boost damage and help cover any early burst damage your team might take early in the PVP fight.

Next, place your umbrella on top of yourself with Echoes of a Thousand PlantsEchoes of a Thousand Plants. This provides constant healing to you and nearby allies while also generating Dew. Use Emerald DewtouchEmerald Dewtouch to heal yourself or teammates as needed, and rely on Light Dust After Morning RainLight Dust After Morning Rain for stronger burst healing or to revive allies when it turns into ResurrectionResurrection. Once Echoes of a Thousand PlantsEchoes of a Thousand Plants expires, repeat the Floating GraceFloating Grace and Echoes of a Thousand PlantsEchoes of a Thousand Plants setup before switching back to healing with the Panacea FanPanacea Fan.

Cloudburst HealingCloudburst Healing is another strong AoE heal that should be used whenever multiple allies are losing HP or as a way to reset the pvp fight. This rotation does not need to be followed in a strict order. Your main focus should be keeping Dew and making sure the umbrella stays with you. Everything else can be used as needed based on the situation.
