Path: Bamboocut - Wind

The main weapons you'll use for the build is the Infernal Twinblades and applying the Mortal Rope Dart's Rodent Rampage buff that will let you summon a rat and attack the enemy whenever you land a Light Attack. This synergizes well with each other due to the high attack speed that Infernal Twinblades provides to proc Rodent Rampage multiple times.

Inner Way Details
Echoes of Oblivion Icon Echoes of Oblivion
Infernal Twinblades' normal Light Attacks apply Sin to enemies, while Light Attacks under Flamelash apply Karma. When attacking targets affected by Sin and Karma with Infernal Twinblades' Light Attacks, ignore their 10% Physical Defense and 10% Bamboocut Resistance respectively.
Vendetta Icon Vendetta
Guided Blade's Vendetta Token last 5 seconds longer and restores 20 Token of Gratitudes.
Breaking Point Icon Breaking Point
Hitting Exhausted enemies with a Critical Hit applies a stack of Disintegration for 3 seconds, stacking up to 3 times. Each stack grants 10 Physical Penetration and increases Critical DMG Bonus by 5%.
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.

For our Inner Way, the Bamboocut - Wind path will mostly serve your needs but we recommend swapping out Riptide Reflex with Morale Chant for better damage and healing. Most of the Bamboocut internal art already amplifies your damage and its all about activating the right condition such as exhausting enemies and using crowd control skills which the Rope Dart can easily do.

List of All Inner Ways

Jump Table
Overview Martial Arts Inner Way
Mystic Arts Set and Stats How to Play
Stat Group Recommended Substats
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.
Wolflike Frenzy Icon Wolflike Frenzy
Knock down an enemy, followed with rapid strikes, and finish with an upward swing that disables the target. Effective against Cavalry and other units with Unstable Poise. Unstable Poise: These units have a Stance bar near their HP. Stance-break deals special hit and Physical damage.

Ghost Bind is a decent option as it lets you immobilize targets for free damage with the build's reckless playstyle. Wolflike Frenzy is also a decent option to consider as it can knock down an enemy while dishing out its own damage output.

Swallowcall is easily one of the best gear sets to use as it compliments your multiple hits, specially with its min physical attack damage bonus. It also increases your Light Attack damage and even more against exhausted enemies that you will naturally get anyway.

Additionally, Flawless Defense is also an excellent defensive gear set as it provides a flat damage reduction that increases based on your HP percentage.

Best Gear Sets

Stat Priority

Affinity will be the highest value stat you want to get due to the weapon's high hit count. Physical damage is a good stat to aim for as well as it will let you maximize your damage output from multiple effects.

Recommended Skill Rotation

  1. Use your Rope Dart's Charged Heavy Attack to gain the Special Skill Enhancement that will boost your Might Rat's damage.
  2. Use Bladebound Thread to pull enemies towards you and use the follow-up attack to apply Vendetta to enemies, This will allow the Might Rat to deal 50% more damage.
  3. Cast Rodent Rampage to summon the Might Rat.
  4. Swap to Infernal Twinblades and build up your Flamelash meter using Addled Mind or Light Attacks.
  5. Once your Flamelash bar is full, activate Flamelash and focus on dishing out your 5-combo Light Attack to deal the most damage.
  6. After your Flamelash dissipates, you can swap back to your Rope Dart and repeat the combo.

Avoid Hits Even in Flamelash Mode

Despite the buffs, you'll need to avoid hits instead of tanking it to maximize your damage. You do have lifesteal while in this mode but that doesn't mean that you can take every damage that enemies throw at you.

Avoid using Charged Heavy Attacks Mid-Combo

During your skill rotation, consider avoiding charged heavy attacks as it can make your combo sequence slow. Consider replacing it with the Rope Dart's Blade Bound Thread to pull yourself back into the fray.

Use Calamity's Greed to reduce Addled Mind Cooldown

Calamity's Greed can be used to reduce Addled Mind's cooldown by 3 seconds. After using Calamity's Greed, wait for the blade to return to your hand the re-cast it again for a follow up. Successfully doing this combo will lower Addled Mind's cooldown which can speed up your next combos.
