Overview

Using Thundercry BladeThundercry Blade with Panacea FanPanacea Fan creates one of the tankiest builds in Where Winds Meet. It works well in every PvP mode. Whether it's 1v1 arenas and duels or large group fights. This setup lets you stay alive for a long time, heal yourself, and even heal teammates.

The playstyle is slow, but the damage is still strong enough to catch enemy players off guard. You can play defensively, wait for the right moment, and strike when they are caught in CCs. This build is also very annoying for enemies to deal with because of how hard it is to kill. All of your healing strength comes from the Panacea FanPanacea Fan, which gives you consistent healing. In group PvP, ResurrectionResurrection is especially powerful, letting you bring allies back to life and turn the fight in your favor.

Trapped Beast

Exquisite SceneryExquisite Scenery is a must-have because it gives the Thundercry BladeThundercry Blade more speed, so you don’t need to fully charge your attacks as often to deal good damage. Morale ChantMorale Chant is one of the best Inner Ways for boosting both damage and healing, and it’s very easy to keep stacked during fights.

Adaptive SteelAdaptive Steel increases the crit damage of your Charged Skills, like AvalancheAvalanche and Galecloud CleaveGalecloud Cleave, making them hit much harder. For extra safety, Trapped BeastTrapped Beast adds a strong defensive layer by creating a shield whenever your HP drops low, helping you survive burst damage.

Golden Body
Serene Breeze
Dragon's Breath
Cloud Steps
Meridian Touch

Serene BreezeSerene Breeze is your most important Mystic Skill in PvP. It breaks you out of CC, letting you escape, reset, or even turn the fight if you time it well. For staying alive during hard fights, Golden BodyGolden Body is also extremely strong. It costs a lot of vitality, but the protection and Fortitude it gives make it one of the safest ways to survive burst damage and avoid getting locked down. You can also swap this for Ghostly StepsGhostly Steps to disappear when you dash, being able to catch enemies off-guard with it.

To pressure enemies from far away, Meridian TouchMeridian Touch works great. It forces players to react early and also lets you Execute low-HP targets. If you need fast movement to chase someone, Cloud StepsCloud Steps gives a sudden dash that helps you catch players trying to escape, though it can still be blocked if they expect it.

For CC, Leaping ToadLeaping Toad and Talon StrikeTalon Strike are both good picks. They knock enemies down and deal Qi damage. Talon StrikeTalon Strike is harder to land and hits for less, but because it goes through block, it becomes especially strong against defensive players block spamming you. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath adds quick damage to your combos and can also help defensively when an enemy rushes you.
