Easy-to-play bleed setup that skyrockets in damage once 5 stacks are applied with Wolfchaser.
A Tier
Strong against tanks with DoT and AoE cleaves; effective stance breaker.

Heavenquaker Spear and Strategic Sword is considered one of the best DPS builds in Where Winds Meet because the two weapons synergize into a high-damage bleed and burst rotation that shines in both PvE and most endgame content.

The Strategic Sword applies bleed stacks quickly through fast hits, and when you hit five stacks, you can detonate them for a huge damage burst that melts bosses and elites. Meanwhile, the Heavenquaker Spear's multi-hit skills build strong damage buffs (like River Flow) and wide AoE damage, amplifying every bleed detonation and increasing your overall output.

S Tier
Mobile dual-sword setup that pokes with Nameless Sword ranged attacks or detonates Strategic Sword DoT for massive burst damage.
A Tier
Aggressive pressure, controls battlefield momentum, quick repositioning.

Nameless Sword and Strategic Sword is a strong hybrid because it blends the Nameless Sword’s mobility and ranged-wave followups with the Strategic Sword’s fast bleed stacking and high single-target burst, letting you open from safe distance then switch into heavy, detonating combos for massive damage.

The Nameless Sword brings mobility, ranged pressure and fluid charged attacks, letting you engage, reposition and output damage from a safe distance, while the Strategic Sword adds strong burst damage and bleed effects that stack up enemy damage over time and explode for heavy payoff when used right.

A Tier
Versatile build combining spear crowd control and burst with sword mobility and bleed for high overall damage, but requires careful Endurance management.
S Tier
Creates distance, applies Crowd Control, DoT, and prevents enemies from closing in or safely setting up their AoE attacks.

Strategic Sword and Nameless Spear pair up into a high-damage hybrid DPS combo by combining the Sword’s bleed and burst damage potential with the Spear’s crowd control, endurance support, and heavy committed hits.

The Strategic Sword applies bleed stacks and detonates them for powerful damage spikes, while the Nameless Spear allows you to control enemies, helps with Endurance management, and lets you deal massive damage during huge openings using its charged heavy attack. In PvP, this build shreds down tanky opponents.

PvE Ranking PvP Ranking
A Tier
PvE mob-clearing build with multiple AoE sources, turning chaotic fights into controlled, high-damage sweeps.
A Tier
While this build shines in PvE, its performance in PvP takes a slight hit due to a lack of reliable disables. Despite this, it remains a strong and versatile choice.

This pairing blends the mobility and burst pressure of the Nameless Sword with the AoE damage and buff potential of the Heavenquaker Spear to create a flexible, high-throughput DPS setup that excels especially in PvE mob-clearing and sustained fights.

The Nameless Sword lets you quickly dash between targets, deliver charged attacks and generate shields for survivability, while the Heavenquaker Spear adds wide-reach multi-hit damage, crowd control, and buffs that amplify your overall damage output.

Nameless SpearNameless Spear
PvE Ranking PvP Ranking
A Tier
Combines melee and ranged attacks for fast combat, rewarding skillful play and stamina management. High damage potential but demands precision to fully shine.
B Tier
High damage, gap-closing, and stagger pressure; less effective than top DPS combos.

The Nameless Sword lets you weave in and out of combat with fast combos, gap-closing dashes, and ranged qi projectiles for consistent DPS, while the Nameless Spear brings heavy, committed thrusts, crowd control, and an endurance-restoring buff that lets you keep up your offensive rotation without running dry.

Since both weapons are naturally synergistic and easy to swap between in combat, this pairing ends up very high damage and versatile in both PvE and PvP when you master the stamina and rotation rhythm.

Weapons Pros and Cons
Infernal TwinbladesInfernal Twinblades
Build Pro High Attack Speed

Build Pro Self Lifesteal and Critical Strike Buffs

Build Con Low Damage Output Without Karmic Flame
Mortal Rope DartMortal Rope Dart
PvE Ranking PvP Ranking
B Tier
High-speed, multi-hit build with damage and lifesteal buffs. Strong in skilled hands but risky due to high skill cap and unreliable lifesteal.
S Tier
Massive burst damage that can quickly surprise enemies. Rodent Rampage and Addled Mind create quick bursts with minimal counterreaction.

Infernal Twinblades attack so fast they continuously trigger Mortal Rope Dart's on-hit effects (Rodent Rampage), multiplying damage and procs, while the Rope Dart gives you ranged pulls/stuns and combo-extending control so you can lock a target into the blades’ high-crit, lifesteal windows.

Together they excel at single-target boss shredding, and works well in PvP, but they demand fast inputs and offer weaker AoE compared with some other pairings.

B Tier
Hybrid ranged DPS, effective at both far and close range, boosting burst windows.
A Tier
Mid-to-long range setup with heavy CC and ranged pressure, using pokes and disables to kite enemies and set up lethal combos.

Mortal Rope Dart and Vernal Umbrella is a hybrid ranged/control build that focuses on keeping enemies at bay while steadily whittling them down. The Rope Dart adds pulls, knockdowns, and disables, while the Umbrella provides mid-range attacks and crowd-control, letting you kite and set up combos safely.

It's not a heavy-hitting DPS setup, but it excels at tactical play in PvE and PvP, giving you control, utility, and survivability at the cost of raw burst damage.

B Tier
Decent mobility with strong ranged attacks, excels against humanoids but struggles with non-humanoids. High learning curve and risky float mechanic limit its effectiveness.
A Tier
Long-range DPS with constant single-target damage. Can block projectiles.

Vernal Umbrella and Inkwell offers solid mobility and emphasizes ranged attacks over melee, making it particularly effective against humanoid enemies thanks to its aerial lunge. However, it struggles against non-humanoid enemies.

The build also has a steeper learning curve: its core float mechanic boosts ranged damage but leaves you vulnerable to enemy attacks, making it less reliable in many situations.
