The Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear build focuses on the Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear martial arts.

This build has the highest mobility among all possible builds and sports high versatility in terms of ways to attack. You can easily weave in and out of combat or unleash waves of qi from afar, but all of these are limited by your stamina, so managing your stamina is key to making the build truly shine.

Path: Bellstrike - Splendor

The Nameless Sword and the Nameless Spear are both great standalone weapons, and both can be used primarily when in combat. However, the Nameless Sword focuses on mobility and lets you weave ranged hits or move in and/or out of combat.

The Nameless Spear, on the other hand, has heavy and more committed combos as well as some utility skills that let you use charged hits for heavy DPS.

Sword Morph Icon Sword Morph
When Noname Sword's Charged Skill, Vagrant Sword is charged while the Qi shield is present, it unleashes multiple additional sword energy attacks at the 2nd charging stage. You can consume bonus Endurance to increase the sword energy's damage; each Endurance increases damage by 1%, up to 20%.
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.

Noname Spear Martial Arts Skill Qiankun's Lock grants Endless Gale effect, increasing the Endurance cost reduction to 20% for 5 seconds.

Inner Ways for the Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear build should focus entirely on its own Inner Way path except for swapping Wildfire Spark for Morale Chant to help maximize your damage output. These Internal Arts also focus on reducing your energy consumption, which is mandatory for the Nameless Sword and Nameless Spear's heavy stamina playstyle.

They also provide the damage boost you need against bosses and give the valuable Sword Morph that lets you fire additional sword waves from the Nameless Sword's ranged wave attacks.

Set Gear

Stat Group Recommended Substats
Swallowcall Icon Swallowcall

Weapon
2 Set Effect: +27 Min Physical Attack
4 Set Effect: Light Attacks deal 15% more damage against targets with less than 40% Qi and 5% more damage against Exhausted targets.
Calmwaters Icon Calmwaters

Armor
2 Set Effect: +13 Physical Defense
4 Set Effect: A Perfect Dodge of an enemy attack has a 50% chance of restoring 3% of your Max HP and 10 Endurance.

For your set gear, Swallowcall is the most consistent set to get due to the build's high-aggression playstyle. You will also exhaust your stamina, so you will need to weave in light and heavy attacks, which is where Swallowcall comes in, as it'll let you sustain your DPS during stamina recovery.

Calmwaters, on the other hand, lets you sustain your HP and Endurance a bit, and when partnered with Ghostly Steps, lets you play nimbly with no issues with stamina at all.

Best Gear Sets

Stat Priority

Attack stat, Min Bellstrike Attack, and critical rate are your best offensive stats. This goes the same for defense substat, where you'll want to roll for Affinity and Critical Rate as well to truly maximize your damage output.

Recommended Skill Rotation

  1. Starting with Nameless Sword, use Daunting Strike to get close to the enemy.
  2. Activate Daunting Strike follow-up to trigger the Sword Morph effect.
  3. Use Shadow Step to create distance between yourself and the enemy.
  4. Hold and execute your Charged Skill to release sword waves.
  5. Activate Shadow Step follow-up to close the gap again.
  6. Swap to Nameless Spear and use Legion Crusher to get Unrivaled buff to speed up your Charged Attack.
  7. Cast Nameless Spear's Qiankun's Lock to restore Endurance used by Legion Crusher and to get a reduced endurance consumption buff.
  8. Use your Charged Skill to deal huge damage to the enemy.
  9. Swap back to Nameless Sword and repeat the process.

Use Light and Heavy Attacks to Wait for Stamina Regeneration

Due to the build's heavy skill usage, you'll often deplete or bring your stamina to low amounts. Be sure to weave in light and heavy attacks during this downtime to wait for your stamina to replenish.

Activate Ghostly Steps to Lessen Dodge Stamina Consumption

Ghostly Steps lets you reduce ground dodge skills by almost half, which lets you reduce your stamina consumption and use it for your combos instead.
