Overview

In this build you combine the Nameless SpearNameless Spear and the Thundercry BladeThundercry Blade for an incredibly tanky, defensive build that relies on enemies making mistakes in order to win fights. It performs incredibly well in low rank arenas where enemies aren't very experienced and walk into your abilities, but it struggles against good players. Its ease of use makes it for one of the best builds for new players looking to get into PVP, performing well in all arena modes, guild pvp and BR if you can.

Morale ChantMorale Chant is an excellent choice for boosting your overall DPS, as every hit can raise your damage, and it’s one of the strongest offensive Inner Ways in Where Winds Meet. For defense, Trapped BeastTrapped Beast is a must since it gives you a large shield when your HP gets low, adding some extra tankiness into the build, making it even more difficult to kill. Exquisite SceneryExquisite Scenery is also very useful for increasing your overall damage, letting you make better use of your Charged Heavy Attack.

Free Morph

Yaksha RushYaksha Rush works perfectly as a setup either for Free MorphFree Morph or Soaring SpinSoaring Spin. Wolflike FrenzyWolflike Frenzy and Free MorphFree Morph are both very strong when used together. If you land Wolflike FrenzyWolflike Frenzy first attack to knock down the enemy, you can follow it with Free MorphFree Morph for a wombo combo of high damage even if it costs a lot of Vitality. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath is another strong choice for DOT damage into your combos or as a defensive skill when you are being backed into a corner, making it impossible to attack you from the front. You can cancel its animation with Deflect to keep fighting.

Don't forget Serene BreezeSerene Breeze, which breaks you out of CC and enemy attack chains and break you free akin to a trinket in other pvp games granting you protection for a short while. If you need a longer Fortitude (CC immunity) buff, you can use Golden BodyGolden Body is also a great defensive option, giving you CC immunity for its duration and helping you survive long enough to finish the fight.
