This is a dual sword build focuxing on the Nameless Sword and Strategic Sword. Each weapon follows similar playstyle with mobility in mind but focuses on different aspects in combat. Utilize Nameless Sword's ranged attacks to poke and deal heavy damage from a distance or use Strategic to cause DoT and pop those for huge burst damage.

Path: Bellstrike - Umbra |
For our weapons we utilize a flexible playstyle by playing two sword weapons which both offers mobility. What they differ with is Strategic Sword's combos are more melee oriented and faster while Nameless Sword relies on mobility and charged attacks from proper distance management. Learning which weapon to use on each situation is key to maximizing the build's potential.

|---|---|
Sword Horizon |
After casting Strategic Sword's Martial Arts Skill, Special Skill, or Charged Skill, press the skill button at the perfect timing during the ending phase to cast Crisscrossing Swords and unleash follow-up attacks. If the target has 5 stacks of Bleed, remove all Bleed stacks and deal high Bleed damage once. |
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 |
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. |
Wildfire Spark |
Refunds 3.5% of the Endurance consumed. |
For our Inner Ways, we need our two Inner Ways that adds new options to both weapons, particularly Sword Morph and Sword Horizon as both inner ways “completes” the weapon by adding their extra functionality. Sword Horizon gives us more options to consume 5 bleed stacks while Sword Morph focuses on activating Qi Shield for multiple waves.
Morale Chant is a passive damage buff that you'll always be able to utilize from either weapon and Wildfire Spark keeps the build from bricking or stopping by lessening the burden of endurance consumption.

| Mystic Arts | Effects |
|---|---|
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 |
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'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.

|---|---|
HawkwingWeapon |
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. |
EagleriseArmor |
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.
Precision will be the highest value stat you want to get for more consistent DPS. Physical damage is a good stat to aim for as well as it will let you maximize your damage output from multiple effects.

This is a standard rotation using both weapons. As they both have engage and disengage options, you can swap the order of the two and start with the Nameless Sword which gives this build extreme flexibility in how you approach fights.
To maximize the Strategic Sword's playstyle, play around the bleed stacks you inflict on opponents. When they have 5 bleed stacks, you can consume it with Crisscrossing Sword or Inner Balance Strike III. To reach 5 stacks, you can either use Charged Attack to dash into the enemy which will apply 4 bleed stacks immediately and another after a short delay.
You can also use Inner Track Slash to apply 5 bleed stacks if all slashes hits the enemy then comsume it immediately with Crisscrossing Sword for a swift combo.
To unleash multiple Qi Wave, you must use the Nameless Sword's Charged attack while having a Qi Shield and having the Sword Horizon Inner Way. This will let you unleash multiple waves for massive burst damage if executed perfectly.
