Weapons

Sword styles suit players who want a direct close-range answer without committing to a narrow party role. Their readable reach makes the family a practical place to learn when to attack, defend and hand the next opening to a second weapon.

Treat Sword as a weapon family rather than a complete build. The equipped Martial Art and supporting Inner Ways determine the actual skill set, so compare their triggers before spending broadly.

Spears trade some of the sword's compact timing for reach. They help when an encounter punishes staying directly under a target or when a group needs space controlled before committing to a damage window.

Different spear Martial Arts can pursue different roles. Choose from the skill descriptions and Path guidance instead of assuming every spear shares one rotation or party job.

Dual blades emphasize speed and repeated contact. Their pace can keep pressure on an exposed enemy, but it leaves less room to read a new pattern if every opening becomes a long attack string.

Pair them with a tool that solves a different problem, such as reach or control. The useful question is whether the second weapon creates a safe entry or exit.

The rope dart gives the arsenal a distinct mid-range silhouette and rewards deliberate positioning. It is better understood as a control and movement option than as a conventional blade with a longer animation.

Version 2.0 links Gauntlets and Rope Dart through Bamboocut Kite. That official pairing shifts from close pressure to repositioning and shows why weapon synergy matters.

Fans expand a loadout beyond ordinary melee distance and can support a more cautious rhythm. They fit when the rest of the pair already has a reliable close-range answer and needs sustain or ranged utility.

Read the chosen Martial Art before assigning the weapon a role. The family name alone does not establish its healing, damage or control behavior.

Umbrellas turn a familiar object into one of the game's most recognizable weapon families. Their value is the different spacing and utility they add beside a conventional melee choice.

Evaluate an umbrella pairing by what it enables between enemy attacks. If it only duplicates another ranged option, change one side so that each weapon has a clear job.

The official weapon overview includes the glaive among its classic wuxia arsenal. Its broad polearm identity suits players who enjoy committed attacks and controlling more space than a compact blade.

Heavy-looking weapons still depend on their Martial Art and supporting build. Test recovery and defensive options against the same encounter before moving scarce development materials.

Gauntlets arrived with the Hidden Mountain 2.0 update. Everstone describes them as a fast, hard-hitting option with rapid combinations and burst damage, giving the current arsenal a dedicated unarmed-combat identity.

Their Bamboocut Kite style pairs with Rope Dart for pressure and tactical repositioning. Because 2.0 balance work is ongoing, this profile explains the confirmed role without assigning a temporary tier.
