Path: Silkbind - Deluge

Path: Silkbind - Deluge

The main martial arts you'll use for the build are the Soulshade Umbrella and the Panacea Fan. Both Martial Arts are capable of healing such as Panacea Fan's Cloudburst Healing for AoE heals and Morning Drizzle to focus on healing yourself or a party member in low health.

While managing your or other teammate's HP, charge your Dew by using heavy attacks from a safe distance to ensure that your healing will never run out.

Inner Way Details
Royal Remedy Icon Royal Remedy
Increases the healing effect of the water clone created by Panacea Fan's Martial Arts Skill, Cloudburst Healing by 10%. If you are within its range, gain 1 Dewdrop each time when receiving healing over time.
Restoring Blossom Icon Restoring Blossom
Dealing Critical healing applies one stack of Nurturing for 3 seconds increasing healing received by 2%, stacking up to 3 times.
Morale Chant Icon Morale Chant
80% chance to gain one stack of Yi River when attacking or healing. Yi River: Increases Physical Damage and healing by 1% for 8 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. The chance to gain Yi River is only calculated once every 2 seconds.
Mending Loom Icon Mending Loom
Casting Soulshade Umrella's Special Skill, Echoing Grow restores 5 Dewdrops and additionally heals 10% of your Max HP for every 100 Dewdrops consumed.

For the Silkbind Jade internal art, you will want to use the 3 existing Silkbind Deluge passives and swap out Esoteric Revival for Morale Chant. These passives will let you dish out more healing with the build which lets you support a multiplayer lobby with extra damage or play your own world with the damage bonuses you get.

Recommended Mystic Arts

Stat Group Recommended Substats
Serene Breeze Icon Serene Breeze
Channel Qi into your body to clear blockages in the veins. Can be used while under attack or control effects. On hit, reduces the target's Endurance recovery by 50% and deals damage for 8s.
Ghost Bind Icon Ghost Bind
Flash before enemies, immobilizing up to 6 targets for 5s, and breaking their Vital Points. Ineffective against powerful enemies and players. Vital Points: These enemies have bound Qi bars. Breaking their Vital Points disables Qi regen and deals extra damage.

Serene Breeze is a Mystic Art that's easy to use for a defensive setup as it will let you repel agression which can be handy once you're focused by multiple units. Alternatively, you can also use Ghost Bind to immobilize targets so you can easily group up mobs and provide openings for burst damage to your team.

Set Gear

Stat Group Set Effect
Rainwhisper Icon Rainwhisper

Weapon
2 Set Effect: +40 Max HP
4 Set Effect: Increases all Critical DMG and healing by 10%, and further increases them by 15% when you have an HP shield.
Eaglerise Icon Eaglerise

Armor
2 Set Effect: +1 Physical Defense
4 Set Effect: Dealing damage over time or healing grants 1 stack of Eaglerise: Reduces damage taken by 1.2% for 10 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. At max stacks, receives an Eagle Guard effect that reduces the next incoming damage within 10 seconds by 90% (halved when the damage comes from a boss). This effect can only trigger once every 30 seconds.

The set you'll want to have are the Rainwhisper Set and the Eaglerise Set to maximize your healing and survivability. Eaglerise is easy to setup due to this build's constant healing output while Rainwhisper Set is an easy 10% heal amplification to all of your healing abilities.

Stat Priority

For the stats, you'll want to amplify your survivability as much as possible. Maximum HP, Defense, and every other source of damage reduction will prove effective.

For weapons, you'll also want to get some raw damage stat such as attack but avoid critical strikes as you'll not be investing in these stats to capitalize on it. However, some attack stat will still be valuable as your set combo won't have that much damage and every damage bonus will speed up your single-player playthroughs.

Soulshade Umbrella and Panacea Fan Playstyle




Recommended Skill Rotation

  1. Use Soulshade Umbrella's Floating Grace for damage buffs
  2. Activate Echoes of a Thousand Plants special skill for the passive healing, then Switch Weapons.
  3. Spam the Panacea Fan's Light Attack for damage or heavy attacks to rapidly regain Dew.
  4. Cast Panacea Fan's Cloudburst Healing to gain more Dew and sustain your health.
  5. Once the Umbrella's effect ends, rinse and repeat your rotation.

While on the fan stance, you have multiple options for healing but all of these are situational so your main rotation will just focus on the Soulshade Umbrella's buff and passive floating healing effect.

Use Panacea Fan's Light Dust for Emergency Heals

Light Dust After Morning Rain costs 50 Dew and applies a big amount of heals to yourself and the lowest HP party member over 6 seconds. This lets you ensure that you or an ally that's in trouble can survive the fight.

Take note to not use it twice in quick succession as the effects overwrite each other instead of stacking. If an ally receives fatal damage, use Light Dust After Morning Rain as a resurrection skill to return them back to the playing field. However, it has a long cooldown so avoid using it immediately and try to use it on a crucial team member such as a tanker to keep the party alive.

After reviving an ally, you gain Abundant Dew which amplifies your Dew regeneration and lets you replenish the Dew spent on the resurrection.

Use Cloudburst Healing to Regain Dew and Heal Allies on a Target Zone

Cloudburst Healing lets you immediately gain 20 Dew after using it. Use it on an area where a wounded ally or summon it on your own position to restore teammates on the said area. This is best used after Resurrection to restore some Dew after exhausting your Dew from the resurrection ability.

You can also use this ability while you have maximum Dew to summon a rotating water clone of yourself that you can re-activate to trigger a burst of heal in that target zone.

Soulshade Umbrella Is a Constant Source of Heal

The Soulshade Umbrella lets you throw the Umbrella in the air and it will continuously heal you or an ally with lower HP than you. It also lets you generate Dew over time which lets you use more Dew for your other skills. Keep this ability up constantly to ensure your HP always stay high.

Use Umbrella's Charged Heavy Attack to Extend Stun Duration

Once an enemy is downed, use the Soulshade Umbrella's charged attack to prolong the down status. While this may not deal that much damage and not the best option to do during single player, you'll want to use this on multiplayer mode to extend the damage window your allies can use to use their own attacks against the enemy.

I would personally only change the Rainwhisper set for the Ivorybloom set for more crit rate, crit damage and crit healing. A lot of the Silkbind delude inner ways breakthrough also give crit rate, so it would be a waste not to invest into crit

Everything was fine until i saw the gear you suggested, your suggestion like this loses the crit heal and final tune
