Attention!
These weapons are not yet available on global and are shown based on Chinese server gameplay and translations. Names, values, and mechanics may change with localization!

Confirmed Upcoming New Weapons and Martial Arts

New Path Bamboocut - Dust

Bamboocut-Dust
Bamboocut - Dust, a new Martial Arts Path, has been teased in an announcement from the game's official X account. This consists of the umbrella and rope dart Martial Arts combination, particularly the Everspring Umbrella and Unfettered Rope Dart. Both weapons are set to release on March 6, 2026 together with the Hexi update.

Everspring Umbrella

A mobility-focused weapon that emphasizes in-and-out gameplay. It allows players to throw an umbrella, teleport to it, and then teleport back, enabling constant repositioning. Its abilities focus on harassment and control rather than raw damage, making it especially effective at frustrating enemies.

Unfettered Rope Dart

A fast-hitting weapon designed for close to mid attack ranges. Its primary attack can unleash a flurry of hits to your surroundings, which can temporarily put down your enemies. Like the Chestnut Clouds (粟子行云), combining this weapon's ability with a gauntlet can create a stagger, pull, and lockdown potential with quick-acting combos that can be advantageous during PVPs.

Heng Blade or Snowparting Blade Tang Hengdao

Having a similar appearance to a horizontal Katana, Tang Hengdao or the Heng Blade is a slick dash-and-slice blade that lives for stagger pressure: dash in, string multi-hits, dash out, rinse and repeat. Its parry follow-up and grit-heavy heavy attacks make it terrifying in PvP and spicy in clutch PvE moments.

Phalanxbane Mo Blade

A heavy-hitting weapon built around charged attacks, shields, and summons. Its charge ability builds power while draining stamina, then releases high damage and grants a protective shield. The weapon’s defining feature is its ability to summon soldiers through its fourth skill, massively increasing damage output, especially during charged heavies.

1 Gauntlets
2 New Rope Dart
3 Ribbon and Drums

Heaven's Will Manifests in Omens (天志垂象) Gauntlets

A burst-focused weapon designed around resource buildup and execution damage. It features dash-based engagement tools, combo extenders, and a channeled ultimate that consumes stored charges to deal massive damage. Proper resource management is key to maximizing its lethality.

Chestnut Clouds (粟子行云) New Rope Dart

A control-oriented weapon centered on energy generation and sustain. Using its primary skill builds energy that fuels extended combos, while its abilities provide crowd control, healing, and chi recovery. This makes it particularly strong in PvP, where prolonged fights favor its sustain and disruption.

Both the Gauntlet and the new Rope Dart share resources, allowing the Rope Dart to consume charges generated by the Gauntlets. Their combined abilities create strong stagger, pull, and lockdown potential, enabling devastating combo chains that are especially powerful in PvP.

Tang Hengdao and the new Mo blade share a resource system and are designed to work together. Tang Hengdao can trigger Mo Blade’s summoned soldiers during its own attacks, while both weapons consume the same resource bar.

Ribbon and Drums

Where Winds Meet - Ribbons an Drums
Though details are still scarce and a release window hasn’t been confirmed, the Ribbon and Drum weapons have been teased as the signature arms of the Masked Troupe. Based on their theatrical theme, players are expecting flashy, performance-inspired combat styles, possibly blending mobility, rhythm mechanics, or team utility, but for now, they remain a stylish mystery waiting in the wings.

The Masked Troupe Sect

New Weapons Release Date for Global

Where Winds Meet
Attention!
Note: All estimated timelines are based on Chinese server progression, and the developers have not officially confirmed global release dates or schedules for these weapons.

April 2026 for Heng Blade and Mo Blade Variant

The Heng Blade and Mo Blade variant have now been officially confirmed for release in April, marking their arrival much sooner than many players expected.

Late 2026 for Gauntlets

The Gauntlet (fist-style martial arts) is expected later in late 2026. This fits the community-observed rollout order on the Chinese server, where gauntlets followed the new rope dart and Tang/Mo Blade content, suggesting they’ll be among the last of the current planned weapon additions for global players.

No Release Window Yet for Ribbons and Drums

Ribbons and drums have been teased as signature weapons of the Masked Troupe, but they currently have no official release window.
