Your main damage tool will be mixed with the two weapons, but your primary weapon will be the Inkwell Fan. The Vernal Umbrella lets you raise it into the air, and it will continuously use projectiles against enemies. This will be your main time to switch back to the Inkwell Fan and focus on using ranged hits as well.

| Inner Way | Details |
|---|---|
 Blossom Barrage |
Vernal Umbrella's Martial Arts Skill Spring Sorrow can hold up to 2 stacks. Hitting a target applies the Combo effect: Increases Damage taken from the caster's Ballistic Skills by 10% for 8s. Affected Ballistic Skills include: Martial Arts Skill Let Spring Go, Special Skill Everbloom. |
 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. |
 Thunderous Bloom |
When you move more than 15m within 3 seconds, gain Spring Thunder: The next 3 Heavy Attacks or Airborne Heavy Attacks within 12 seconds gain 15% DMG Bonus. This effect may trigger once per 15 seconds. |
 Star Reacher |
Gain 10% Physical Attack Bonus for 8 seconds after knocking an enemy airborne. |
The Vernal Umbrella and Inkwell Fan Inner Ways improve the build's usability by providing additional damage when playing the build and focusing on its specialty, such as launching enemies airborne. We recommend swapping out Flying Gourds with Morale Chant so you can maximize your damage output as you continue to deal damage throughout the fight.
Vernal Umbrella and Inkwell Fan Mystic Arts
| Jump Table | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overview | Martial Arts | Inner Way | |||
| Mystic Arts | Set and Stats | How to Play | |||
| Stat Group | Recommended Substats |
|---|---|
 Guardian Palm |
Unleash two palm strikes forward, then leap into the air and smite the ground to knock back nearby enemies. At 3-5m height, skill upgrades to Lamp Light with a 12s cooldown: Unleash palm strikes toward the ground and knocking back enemies in the area. |
 Cloud Steps |
Stomp on an enemy's shoulder to deal Physical Damage, other Attribute Damage effective against Cavalry and other units with Unstable Poise. |
The Guardian Palm is our recommended Mystic Art for the Vernal Umbrella and Inkwell Fan build, as it lets you leap further into the air while floating with the Vernal Umbrella. This gives you an evasive option while flying and lets you avoid potentially lethal attacks.
Additionally, Cloud Steps synergizes well with Guardian Palm to provide you with AoE damage options while still kiting safely away from your enemies.
Vernal Umbrella and Inkwell Fan Set Gear and Stat Priorities

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overview | Martial Arts | Inner Way | |||
| Mystic Arts | Set and Stats | How to Play | |||
Set Gear
| Stat Group | Recommended Substats |
|---|---|
 Veil of the WillowWeapon |
2 Set Effect: +0.1% Precision Rate
4 Set Effect: After a Light Attack/Airborne Light Attack, Heavy Attack/Airborne Heavy Attack damage is increased 12%, lasting 10 seconds. The reverse is also true. Particularly, after a Heavy Attack/Airborne Heavy Attack Light Attack Charged Attack damage is increased 12%. |
 Beyond the ChillArmor |
2 Set Effect: +40 Max HP
4 Set Effect: After entering combat, if no damage is taken for 10 seconds, gain Beyond the Chill: Reduces the next damage taken all damage taken within 2 seconds afterward by 40%. Beyond the Chill is removed upon leaving combat. |
Veil of the Willow lets you maximize your build through the use of airborne attacks, as it lets you maximize both your heavy and light attack damage with the set.
Beyond the Chill set is our chosen defensive gear as we're primarily a ranged build, and we'll often be able to trigger its effect of not taking damage during the start of the fight, which can improve the build's survivability, especially against enemies with strong big hits.
Stat Priority
As a ranged build, you want to prioritize as much damage as possible to maximize the safe DPS you're outputting from afar. Attack and Silkbind attack damage are highly valued substats you'll want to aim for when playing the build.

Recommended Skill Rotations
- Use Inkwell Fan's Jadewind Shield once to summon a windwall that increases your Projectile Damage.
- Swap to Verdant Umbrella and use Spring of Sorrow to immobilize your target and deal projectile damage.
- Use your Charged Skill to jump into the air and spam projectile damage. This will fill up your Blossom meter, which you will need to activate Unfading Flower.
- Once your Blossom meter is filled up, cast Unfading Flower to passively send out projectiles.
- Swap to Inkwell Fan and cast Peak's Springless Silence to launch the enemy into the air.
- Use your Charged Skill to deal follow-up damage together with the Vernal Umbrella.
Jadewind Shield has a short I-Frame for Dodging Hits
The Jadewind Shield, which is your wind barrier, has a short I-Frame (Invincibility Frame) that lets you avoid being hit on use. It has a very precise timing, but mastering its timing will give you an additional safety option and a potential combo setup for your projectiles.
Set Enemies Airborne Then Follow it Up For Bonus Damage
After throwing enemies airborne with Peak's Springless Silence, you will be able to activate Windrider, which empowers your follow up skills.
Use Guardian Palm to Dodge Midair
The Guardian Palm can be used while floating mid-air with the Vernal Umbrella to further jump into the air and dodge potential harm, as you won't naturally be able to dodge while floating.
