Pros and Cons
Build Pro High AoE Damage
Build Pro Mobility from Nameless Sword lets you find good position for Heavenquaker's AoE damage and buffs
Build Pro Nameless Sword gets access to Heavenquaker buffs
Build Con Less disables compared to the standard Nameless Sword and Spear combo

This build combines the Heavenquaker Spear and Nameless Sword to create a martial art combination that focuses on PvE and mob content. Your insane AoE lets you mop down groups of enemies with ease thanks to the multiple AoE source of damage both weapons can output.

Path: Bellstrike - Splendor

Path: Bellstrike - Umbra

We'll be swapping both weapons often but the main source of damage will be the Nameless Sword and its charged attacks while Heavenquaker's Spear is focused on applying buffs and AoE melee damage.

Recommended Inner Ways

Mystic Arts Set and Stats How to Play
Inner Ways Details
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.
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%.
Wildfire Spark Icon Wildfire Spark
Refunds 3.5% of the Endurance consumed.
Evasive Charge Icon Evasive Charge
After a Perfect Dodge, there is a 50% chance to refund 100% of the Endurance consumed.

For our Inner Ways, we want to always have Morale Chant due to its passive damage bonuses. Sword Morph lets us further capitalize on Heavenquaker Spear's buffs, Wildfire Spark plus Evasive Charge lets us conserve Endurance a bit more to improve the stamina-heavy consumption of the Nameless Sword.

Best Mystic Skills

Jump Table
Overview Martial Arts Inner Ways
Mystic Arts Set and Stats How to Play
Mystic Arts Effects
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.
Dragon Dragon's Breath
Drink to enter Intoxicated. Breath fire with Qi, dealing damage over 2 hits plus Ignition. Gain 15% Damage Reduction and Fortitude. Intoxicated: Lasts 30s. Dragon's Breath and Drunken Poet can be used without drinking. Ignition: Target takes damage every 0.5s for 8s.

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.

Lastly Dragon's Breath is a good AoE option as well that lets us gain damage reduction buffs for a few seconds on use.

Set Gear

Stat Group Recommended Substats
Hawkwing Icon Hawkwing

Weapon
2 Set Effect: +0.1% Affinity Rate
4 Set Effect: When any of your damage triggers Affinity, gain Hawkwing: Increases Physical Attack by 2% for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
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.

For our sets, the Hawkwing and Eaglerise are perfect due to the passive bonuses we can get the longer the fight goes on. Hawking lets us get ramping damage with our combos which continues due to our melee and ranged options while Eaglerise lets us take hits much easier while getting a strong damage reduction shield on full effect.

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.

Silkbind - Deluge Playstyle


AoE Combo Rotation

  1. Use Nameless Sword's Daunting Strike to get into melee range. You can use its follow up strikes for extra damage to gain a Qi Shield or convert to Heavenquaker Spear immediately for a lower damage but faster combo.
  2. After converting to Heavenquaker, immediately use Sober Sorrow and Sweep All
  3. Convert Back to Nameless Sword and use Shadow Step to create distance
  4. Fire off Vagrant Swords from afar to burst down enemies that are debuffed with Heavenquaker and your buffed sword waves.

After your full combo, your cooldown for Nameless Sword's Daunting strike will be up again but consider your existing endurance first before using a second combo rotation.

Sword Morph Multi-Wave Combo

  1. Approach enemies and use Sober Sorrow and Sweep All
  2. Convert to Nameless Sword and use Daunting Strike's full combo to get a Qi Shield
  3. Create distance with Shadow Step.
  4. Charge Vagrant Sword to fire off multiple waves.

This is your single-target setup that lets you utilize the build's full damage. With a Heavenquaker start, you'll begin the fight slower but this won't be an issue in an already ongoing battle. Once both buffs and debuffs are applied, gain your Qi shield then activate your multiple sword waves to deal massive damage.

Get Buffs with Sober Sorrow Then Use Nameless Sword's Ranged Wave Attacks

Sober Sorrow lets us activate buffs to strengthen our hits for 12 seconds. This carries over to other weapons which makes it a good combo starter by getting damage bonuses first before commiting to your main combos.
