Wushi Review
Wushi is a decent DPS unit that requires a long setup and a team built around the Dark Corrosion Anomaly. With his long rotation and need for a team to take advantage of Erosion, his flexibility suffers a lot, making him a worse option compared to other DPS units.

Background
Originating from the Western Region, Wushi was raised alongside his sister. Once separated from his sister sibling due to a severe famine, Wushi was rescued by her Master, who happened to pass by, and was eventually reunited with her sister with the Master's guidance. Since then, Wushi has faithfully served as her Master's personal guard, displaying unwavering loyalty and readiness to confront any challenge due to the teachings and benevolence he has received over the years.
Story 1
Story 2
Story 3
Story 4
First Story
WuShi, born in the Western Region, was originally the eldest son of a well-off farming family. However, during the great famine in the Western Region, he became a refugee, and his parents were killed by bandits. He was saved by the "First Emperor", who happened to pass by. Since then, WuShi has followed this "Master", becoming his personal bodyguard.

WuShi does not know the true identity of this "Master", but due to the Emperor's teachings over the years, WuShi is utterly loyal, willing to go through fire and water for him.

Second Story
WuShi had observed the Master forging iron and steel, preparing herbal medicines, harvesting wheat and picking fruits during the busy farming season, cooking in small restaurants, tutoring children before exams, and drafting legal documents for those involved in lawsuits. In short, it seemed Master was skilled in every possible trade and excelled in all of them.
This filled WuShi with both confusion and admiration. When he asked Master how he had acquired such extensive knowledge, the Master simply chuckled, "To reach my level requires a lot of talent. You probably can't do it. For your future, you'd better choose a skill and stick to it."
"What should I do then?" WuShi asked.
"That's your decision, don't ask me," Master replied leisurely. "I can teach you almost anything you want to learn, but the choice must be yours."
"Please give me some advice," WuShi requested.
"Life advice is very valuable, a truth I learned while doing business," Master said with a sly wink. "You can't afford it, so think it over yourself."
Thus, the young WuShi continued to wander the world with the Master, pondering his future.
"If you can't think of anything, you can start by being my assistant," Master suggested. WuShi began running errands and carrying out seemingly strange tasks. Fortunately, the miscellaneous skills he learned from Master always came in handy.
Unbeknownst to him, WuShi developed a new ability—he could blend into different identities and interact with others in various guises, much like Sir. To his surprise, WuShi found himself gradually accustomed to this life and eagerly wished to serve the Master more effectively.
On his fourteenth birthday, he brought a jug of wine to Master, who was pleased: "Are you finally ready to drink with me? But you're still a bit young for that."
"No, sir, I formally wish to become your disciple. Please teach me the art of the blade."
For the first time, the Master was silent while drinking.
"You want to learn the art of killing," he finally said when the jug was empty.
"Yes, please teach me."
"I know what you're thinking. But swordsmanship is a trivial skill. It can save a few people and settle a few matters, but it cannot save the world or solve all its problems."
"That doesn't matter."
"I've said before, life advice isn't free. If I teach you the art of killing, then someday, I will use you as a blade."
"I'm prepared for that. For you, I am willing to do anything."
Third Story
WuShi had mastered many survival skills in the wild, but once he entered CangLin City, most of them became useless—except for fishing.
Preparing tools, assessing the situation, creating conditions, choosing the best spots—he skillfully executed this activity. However, perhaps the most fascinating and charming aspect of fishing is that it's not entirely skill-driven. After sitting by the river all afternoon until sunset, he usually returned with only a few small fish. Since he didn't rely on fishing for food, he always released these small fish back into the water.
Every weekend, he devoted half a day to fishing by the river, consistently with little success. Still, WuShi persisted, convincing himself it was for relaxation and self-cultivation.
One day, the float suddenly bobbed violently, and his rod bent under an unusual weight. He yanked it, and a large fish, tens of centimeters long, broke the surface.
Perhaps because it was the first big fish he had caught in a long time, he didn't react immediately. In that brief moment, several unfamiliar yet urgent voices suddenly sounded beside him.
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Use the net!"
He found himself surrounded by three or four enthusiastic fishermen, and with their instructions, all talking over one another, WuShi managed to land the fish.
"Man, you've got patience! Been watching you fish here for ages!"
"This fish must weigh at least eight or nine pounds! Let me weigh it for you."
"Hey, you're new at this, right? Your gear isn't suitable for beginners. You should change it."
"Seems like you never bait your spot? Do you need help with that? Let me teach you! I know this river well!"
"Don't listen to his bragging, he's not that experienced either! Mind if I take a picture with your fish?"
In just one evening, with this one fish, WuShi became acquainted with these enthusiastic local anglers.
"Thanks for today..."
With their warm invitation to fish together again, WuShi returned home with an eight-and-a-half-pound fish.
The next morning, he visited his sister, Tiaohua, in the hospital. Smiling, she asked, "Brother, did something good happen?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you've been smiling all day!"
Is it that obvious? WuShi couldn't help but touch his face. Looking at his smiling sister, he couldn't resist telling her, "Yesterday evening, I caught a sixty-eight-centimeter, eight-and-a-half-pound carp..."
Fourth Story
During his travels, WuShi always had his sister in mind. Wherever he went, he would inquire if anyone had heard of the name "Tiaohua."
When WuShi first set foot in Jiangyin at the age of 18, the land seemed like a paradise compared to the Western Region. With mild winds every five days and gentle rains every ten days, the vast fields were lush and full of life. WuShi was fascinated by the area. Whenever he had no tasks, he would wander around, observing the local customs and traditions.
One evening, on his way back, WuShi passed by a farmhouse and noticed the owner had set up a small table at the entrance with an open jar on it, seemingly selling wine.
The rich aroma of the wine instantly brought back memories of the distant past—the day when his life trajectory changed.
He approached and asked about the wine, and sure enough, it was the glutinous rice brew called "Maiden Rose." The homeowners, a humble couple, had tears welling up in their eyes.
"But it's no longer called 'Maiden Rose'."
"What is it called, then?" WuShi asked.
"Withered Flower."
"Withered Flower?" WuShi was taken aback by the ominous name. "Does it mean..."
"You're not from around here, are you?" the woman said as she poured a bowl of wine for WuShi.
"Our daughter passed away last month before she came of age. Like a delicate flower bidding farewell to the tree, she left us too soon. We named the wine 'Withered Flower' because the flowers withered before they could fully bloom. According to our custom, the blessings meant for the rest of her life are left in this jar. After she left us, we sell the wine to travelers, spreading her blessings to the world."
[nlWuShi took the bowl of wine, feeling as if he were looking at a reflection of himself from over a decade ago. Slowly, he brought the bowl to his lips and took his first sip of the wine.
It tasted rich and thick, with a faint, sweet fragrance.
"This is a great wine," WuShi said, gasping after he finished. The taste was quite strong for a first-time drinker like him.
"Can I have another bowl?"
"No," the woman replied with a sorrowful smile.
"You must cherish these blessings, young man. Each person is allowed only one bowl of 'Withered Flower'. More than that, and you might suffer the same fate as our daughter, unable to bear more blessings."
"Please pay for the wine," the husband said, extending his hand. "According to our customs, the price of the wine doesn't matter. Even a single coin is fine, but you cannot drink it for free."
WuShi emptied his pockets, pouring all his money onto the table in front of the couple.
"This... this is too much!" the husband exclaimed in shock.
"We have no intention of making a profit from this."
"It's alright, please accept it. This is... a debt long overdue," WuShi said, and before they could respond, he turned and left.

Wushi Best Ancient Mark

Stats to focus:
- Critical Hit Rate

Ancient Mark Layout
Wushi Ancient Mark Layout


Similar to other main DPS units, Wushi benefits from boosting Critical Hit Rate and Critical Damage the most. This is followed by either Pierce or ATK depending on the team and setup that you have when running him as the star of the show.

Endless March increases his Pierce every time he uses an ability, which synergizes perfectly with his long rotation. Terracotta General increases his overall damage output since most of his damage is classified as Chase damage.

Lastly, both Shining Star and Jade Crane were fitted into the set as both increase his Ultimate skill charge rate and damage, respectively.

This Ancient Mark recommendation was made based on the assumption that all characters involved have the 5-star version of their weapons.

Wushi Skill Priority

Skill Explanation
Shadow Chase Wushi's passive skill. Wushi's damage output mainly comes from his daggers and Dark Blades making this the most important skill to upgrade.
Dagger Appearance Wushi's first skill. Being an essential part of his rotation, his first skill will be the most used skill in his kit and will be the backbone of his damage output outside of his enhanced attacks and skills.
Shadow Slash Wushi's second skill. Having two forms, they serve as both the start and end of Wushi's long rotation. Making it a worthwhile upgrade compared to his other skills.
Countless Blades Wushi's ultimate skill. Serving as the best way to swap Wushi in especially at Potential Level 2, where he can get a 40% damage increase immediately, upgrading the damage output is a bonus and not a necessity.
Shadow Wave Wushi's combo burst. The primary use of his combo burst is to be able to infinitely loop his rotation and take advantage of multiple Dark Scar procs, so upgrading the damage output of the activation isn't necessary.
Basic Attack His enhanced basic attack is upgraded by his passive skill and not his basic attack, which means upgrading his basic attack is not necessary.

The skills listed here have been arranged in order of priority, with the topmost skill being highest priority.

Wushi Best Teams

Overload Erosion Team

DPS Assist
(First Strike)
Breaker
Wushi Icon - Black Beacon Wushi Ninsar Icon - Black Beacon Ninsar Viola Icon - Black Beacon Viola

Wushi's ideal set up is to deal as much Dark damage as possible with his rotation to pop Erosion, while taking advantage of Elemental Overload to stun bosses.

Ninsar is there as a reliable way to protect him with her second skill and as well as help him proc Erosion with her basic rotation.

Viola is a reliable unit to proc a different element that doesn't need to be on the field long making her the ideal choice as a support unit.

Character Explanation
Nanna Icon - Black Beacon Nanna Breaker
Nanna can also be used as a substitute to Ninsar if you want a more offensive team.
Zero Icon - Black Beacon Zero Assist
Zero is a great character overall with her attack buffs. Additionally, she can reliably proc Glaring with her rotation making her a great choice.
Hephae Icon - Black Beacon Hephae Assist
Haephae fulfills a similar role to Viola and Ninsar where she buffs the team's damage resistance while providing a separate Element to proc Overload. At P6, you can take advantage of her additional Elemental Mastery for even more Overloads.

Double Dark F2P Team

DPS Assist
(First Strike)
Assist
Wushi Icon - Black Beacon Wushi Zero Icon - Black Beacon Zero Ninsar Icon - Black Beacon Ninsar

Ideally, Wushi likes fellow Dark-type characters since popping Erosion buffs his overall damage output. Ninsar can help with applying Erosion with Dark-type damage, while Zero buffs his damage when swapping.

How to Play Wushi

Wushi's Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths
• Good single-target burst damage with combos
• Strong Dark Corrosion buildup
• Available in standard banners
Weaknesses
• Long combo rotation is susceptible to interruptions
• Not as flexible as other DPS units
• Reliant on elemental damage to get the most of out his kit.

Wushi is a combo-centric main DPS that specializes in single target damage. While his damage is comparable to other DPS units, he falls due to his reliance of a long setup and Dark Corrosion.

On top of this, his rotation is significantly longer than the others and getting interrupted may disrupt his combo and could result in subpar damage.

Wushi Gameplay Loop

Use His Second Skill (Shadow Slash) to Close the Gap and Set Up Dark Blades.
Use His First Skill (Dagger Appearance) to Drop a Bright Blade.
Use His Enhanced Basic Attack (Shadow Attack) to Go Through Enemies.
Use His First Skill Again (Dagger Appearance) to Drop Another Bright Blade and Deal Additional Damage.
Use His Enhanced Second Skill (Shadow Attack) to Trigger the Dark Blades.
Swap to Another Character.

Wushi's whole kit revolves around setting up his blades and a high buildup of Erosion.

With the strictness and length of his combo, players need to be wary of enemy attacks when they're using his skills as getting interrupted could potentially shut down his whole setup.

Use His Second Skill (Shadow Slash) to Close the Gap and Set Up Dark Scar

Wushi's second skill sets up his finisher by marking a unit for his Dark Blades to pass through. Additionally, use this skill to move into range against the opponents.

Use His First Skill (Dagger Appearance) to Drop a Bright Blade

Use Dagger Appearance to start your combo and set up the first part of the rotation.

Use His Enhanced Basic Attack (Shadow Attack) to Go Through Enemies

After using Dagger Appearance, immediately use his Enhanced Basic Attack to pass through enemies and continue the setup.

Use His First Skill Again to Drop Another Bright Blade

Use another Dagger Appearance to drop another Bright Blade and connect both blades to deal damage and enhance both skills to deal damage.

Use His Enhanced Second Skill (Shadow Slash) to Trigger the Dark Blades

After using a second Dagger Appearance, use his enhanced Shadow Slash to hop on a marked enemy and cast it again to trigger the Dark Blades to follow you and deal damage.

When you have Talent Level 1 unlocked, be sure to not activate the dash immediately as you can be missing out on a bit more damage.

Swap to Another Character

After his rotation, swap to a different character to regain Vigor and re-buff Wushi.

Wushi Best Combos

Full Burst Rotation

Combo
Shadow Attack → Dagger Appearance → Basic Attack → Dagger Appearance (2) → Shadow Attack (2)

This combo will mostly be the rotation that you use for most fights. It involves using all of his Vigor to deal damage and set up everything he needs to deal the most damage.

Alternatively, you can opt to omit the first Shadow Attack and go straight into Dagger Appearance to get started sooner.

Combo Burst Rotation

Combo
Combo Burst → Dagger Appearance (2) → Shadow Attack (2) x3

Wushi's best rotation involves the use of Combo Burst to be able to set up a Bright Blade without risking anything.

Additionally, enemies will be repeatedly marked with Dark Blades after Shadow Attack, so you can repetitively use Shadow Attack (2) until the Combo Burst expires.

Afterwards, you want to go back to his normal rotation to take advantage of the infinite Vigor.

Wushi Potential

Recommended Potential

Potential Explanation
P1 Since his basic rotation will require you to use two instances of Dagger Appearance, this will increase his overall damage output and will be active at all times.
P2 At two or more enemies, you will be able to easily get stacks of his personal Attack Damage up. While it seems counterintuitive, getting a 20% damage increase is already a worthwhile investment against bosses.
P6 With the synergy of his critical hit rate, a 20% increase to Dark damage is massive to his overall DPS since he requires a team that maximizes Erosion.
P5 While this increases the latter half of his rotation, it's not as impactful to the other Potential levels.
P3 His ultimate is mainly used to get stacks for his damage buff at P2, making the ultimate as an efficient way to swap into. That being said, the damage increase is negligible and should not be prioritized.

Some potentials were removed due to only being useful for Skill Enhancement or are still being assessed.

Background
Originating from the Western Region, Wushi was raised alongside his sister. Once separated from his sister sibling due to a severe famine, Wushi was rescued by her Master, who happened to pass by, and was eventually reunited with her sister with the Master's guidance. Since then, Wushi has faithfully served as her Master's personal guard, displaying unwavering loyalty and readiness to confront any challenge due to the teachings and benevolence he has received over the years.

First Story
WuShi, born in the Western Region, was originally the eldest son of a well-off farming family. However, during the great famine in the Western Region, he became a refugee, and his parents were killed by bandits. He was saved by the "First Emperor", who happened to pass by. Since then, WuShi has followed this "Master", becoming his personal bodyguard.

WuShi does not know the true identity of this "Master", but due to the Emperor's teachings over the years, WuShi is utterly loyal, willing to go through fire and water for him.

Second Story
WuShi had observed the Master forging iron and steel, preparing herbal medicines, harvesting wheat and picking fruits during the busy farming season, cooking in small restaurants, tutoring children before exams, and drafting legal documents for those involved in lawsuits. In short, it seemed Master was skilled in every possible trade and excelled in all of them.
This filled WuShi with both confusion and admiration. When he asked Master how he had acquired such extensive knowledge, the Master simply chuckled, "To reach my level requires a lot of talent. You probably can't do it. For your future, you'd better choose a skill and stick to it."
"What should I do then?" WuShi asked.
"That's your decision, don't ask me," Master replied leisurely. "I can teach you almost anything you want to learn, but the choice must be yours."
"Please give me some advice," WuShi requested.
"Life advice is very valuable, a truth I learned while doing business," Master said with a sly wink. "You can't afford it, so think it over yourself."
Thus, the young WuShi continued to wander the world with the Master, pondering his future.
"If you can't think of anything, you can start by being my assistant," Master suggested. WuShi began running errands and carrying out seemingly strange tasks. Fortunately, the miscellaneous skills he learned from Master always came in handy.
Unbeknownst to him, WuShi developed a new ability—he could blend into different identities and interact with others in various guises, much like Sir. To his surprise, WuShi found himself gradually accustomed to this life and eagerly wished to serve the Master more effectively.
On his fourteenth birthday, he brought a jug of wine to Master, who was pleased: "Are you finally ready to drink with me? But you're still a bit young for that."
"No, sir, I formally wish to become your disciple. Please teach me the art of the blade."
For the first time, the Master was silent while drinking.
"You want to learn the art of killing," he finally said when the jug was empty.
"Yes, please teach me."
"I know what you're thinking. But swordsmanship is a trivial skill. It can save a few people and settle a few matters, but it cannot save the world or solve all its problems."
"That doesn't matter."
"I've said before, life advice isn't free. If I teach you the art of killing, then someday, I will use you as a blade."
"I'm prepared for that. For you, I am willing to do anything."
Third Story
WuShi had mastered many survival skills in the wild, but once he entered CangLin City, most of them became useless—except for fishing.
Preparing tools, assessing the situation, creating conditions, choosing the best spots—he skillfully executed this activity. However, perhaps the most fascinating and charming aspect of fishing is that it's not entirely skill-driven. After sitting by the river all afternoon until sunset, he usually returned with only a few small fish. Since he didn't rely on fishing for food, he always released these small fish back into the water.
Every weekend, he devoted half a day to fishing by the river, consistently with little success. Still, WuShi persisted, convincing himself it was for relaxation and self-cultivation.
One day, the float suddenly bobbed violently, and his rod bent under an unusual weight. He yanked it, and a large fish, tens of centimeters long, broke the surface.
Perhaps because it was the first big fish he had caught in a long time, he didn't react immediately. In that brief moment, several unfamiliar yet urgent voices suddenly sounded beside him.
"Hey, why are you just standing there? Use the net!"
He found himself surrounded by three or four enthusiastic fishermen, and with their instructions, all talking over one another, WuShi managed to land the fish.
"Man, you've got patience! Been watching you fish here for ages!"
"This fish must weigh at least eight or nine pounds! Let me weigh it for you."
"Hey, you're new at this, right? Your gear isn't suitable for beginners. You should change it."
"Seems like you never bait your spot? Do you need help with that? Let me teach you! I know this river well!"
"Don't listen to his bragging, he's not that experienced either! Mind if I take a picture with your fish?"
In just one evening, with this one fish, WuShi became acquainted with these enthusiastic local anglers.
"Thanks for today..."
With their warm invitation to fish together again, WuShi returned home with an eight-and-a-half-pound fish.
The next morning, he visited his sister, Tiaohua, in the hospital. Smiling, she asked, "Brother, did something good happen?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Because you've been smiling all day!"
Is it that obvious? WuShi couldn't help but touch his face. Looking at his smiling sister, he couldn't resist telling her, "Yesterday evening, I caught a sixty-eight-centimeter, eight-and-a-half-pound carp..."
Fourth Story
During his travels, WuShi always had his sister in mind. Wherever he went, he would inquire if anyone had heard of the name "Tiaohua."
When WuShi first set foot in Jiangyin at the age of 18, the land seemed like a paradise compared to the Western Region. With mild winds every five days and gentle rains every ten days, the vast fields were lush and full of life. WuShi was fascinated by the area. Whenever he had no tasks, he would wander around, observing the local customs and traditions.
One evening, on his way back, WuShi passed by a farmhouse and noticed the owner had set up a small table at the entrance with an open jar on it, seemingly selling wine.
The rich aroma of the wine instantly brought back memories of the distant past—the day when his life trajectory changed.
He approached and asked about the wine, and sure enough, it was the glutinous rice brew called "Maiden Rose." The homeowners, a humble couple, had tears welling up in their eyes.
"But it's no longer called 'Maiden Rose'."
"What is it called, then?" WuShi asked.
"Withered Flower."
"Withered Flower?" WuShi was taken aback by the ominous name. "Does it mean..."
"You're not from around here, are you?" the woman said as she poured a bowl of wine for WuShi.
"Our daughter passed away last month before she came of age. Like a delicate flower bidding farewell to the tree, she left us too soon. We named the wine 'Withered Flower' because the flowers withered before they could fully bloom. According to our custom, the blessings meant for the rest of her life are left in this jar. After she left us, we sell the wine to travelers, spreading her blessings to the world."
[nlWuShi took the bowl of wine, feeling as if he were looking at a reflection of himself from over a decade ago. Slowly, he brought the bowl to his lips and took his first sip of the wine.
It tasted rich and thick, with a faint, sweet fragrance.
"This is a great wine," WuShi said, gasping after he finished. The taste was quite strong for a first-time drinker like him.
"Can I have another bowl?"
"No," the woman replied with a sorrowful smile.
"You must cherish these blessings, young man. Each person is allowed only one bowl of 'Withered Flower'. More than that, and you might suffer the same fate as our daughter, unable to bear more blessings."
"Please pay for the wine," the husband said, extending his hand. "According to our customs, the price of the wine doesn't matter. Even a single coin is fine, but you cannot drink it for free."
WuShi emptied his pockets, pouring all his money onto the table in front of the couple.
"This... this is too much!" the husband exclaimed in shock.
"We have no intention of making a profit from this."
"It's alright, please accept it. This is... a debt long overdue," WuShi said, and before they could respond, he turned and left.
