Stagger Longsword Build Guide
Weapon and Discipline
| Weapon | Weapon Skill | Discipline |
|---|---|---|
 Serpent Fang
|
Feathering Windstrike Feathering Windstrike Wield your blade back and forth at enemies before you. Use with Skyborn Might to send forth blade force imbued with Feathering, allowing you to strike distant foes with ease.
 |
Sword Counter Sword Counter Raise your blade to block the enemy's attack. Block at the perfect moment to Deflect the attack instead.
Deflect - Blocking the enemy's weapon at the perfect time deflects the enemy's move fully. |
The Serpent Fang and its Feathering Windstrike is the best weapon for the endgame variant of this build due to its high damage, range, and combo speed. Feathering Windstrike deals high damage, but it also comes in handy in filling up the stagger meter.
You can obtain the Sword Counter discipline skill under the Longsword Impetus, second node to the left of the Longsword Mastery node. Its follow-up attack is what allows you to stagger enemies faster, as it deals a huge chunk of damage to health and stagger meter.
Weapon Benedictions
| Serpent Fang Benedictions | ||
|---|---|---|
 Wei - Tri-Disciplinary Force
|
Wei - Six-Disciplinary Force
|
Wei - Nine-Disciplinary Force
|
Equip the Benedictions listed above for your Lashing Whip. These benedictions will help with your overall damage as well as Sword Counter timing, making it easier to deflect enemy attacks and allowing you to heal once enemies are staggered.
Tri-Disciplinary Force, Six-Disciplinary, and Nine-Disciplinary Forces provide a huge raw damage increase, including their set bonus. A great alternative would be Counter Force as it makes parrying attacks easier.
| Weapon | Weapon Skill | Discipline |
|---|---|---|
 Lashing Whip | Whip Dance Whip Dance Charge up to burst forth. striking all around you. Use with Skyborn Might to transform the blade into a whip of steel. Some of the Lashing Whip's attacks even lengthen the blade itself. | Sword Counter Sword Counter Raise your blade to block the enemy's attack. Block at the perfect moment to Deflect the attack instead. Deflect - Blocking the enemy's weapon at the perfect time deflects the enemy's move fully. |
| Lashing Whip Benedictions | ||
 Bu - Skyborn Ward |  Sheng - Obliterate Rejuvenation | Wei - Counter Force |
You'll want Lashing Whip for the early game variant as it has the highest damage output and best range.
Impetus Tree Progression
| Impetus | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. |  Sword Counter |
2. |  Steel Resolve and Energetic |
| 3. |  Skyborn Call III and Feathering Nodes |
4. |  Sword Mastery and Other Discipline Nodes |
You'll want to take Sword Counter and Steel Resolve early, as the build heavily relies on them. Afterwards, you'll want to prioritize Skyborn Might stacks as well as Manna Flask charges.
Your secondary priority should be your damage, obtaining Discipline Nodes to activate Tri-Disciplinary and Six-Disciplinary force. You'll also want to get Strength, Agility, and Feathering Nodes to increase your weapon scaling.
You can obtain feathering nodes and discipline skills in the One-handed sword tree to further increase your damage and weapon scaling.
Armor Set
| Head | Chest |
|---|---|
 Palace Maid's Hairpin
|
 Avian Hunter's Coat
|
| Gloves | Pants |
 Palace Maid's Bracelet
|
 Lotus Gaiters
|
The armor used for the build is centered around Feathering damage resistance, as the endgame area has a lot of enemies that deal Feathering damage. As the armor does not affect the build's damage, you can swap this set to match your resistance needs.
| Head | Chest |
|---|---|
 Bridal Veil |  Bridal Corset |
| Gloves | Pants |
 Ming Armguards |  Ming Greaves |
The early armor equipment should give ample defenses against most attacks. However, you should be mindful of Paralysis attacks as it is the weakest resistance this build has.
Jade Pendants
| Pendants | ||
|---|---|---|
 Tiger Pendant
|
 Eagle Pendant
|
 Twin Infant Pendant
|
The Eagle Pendant is the most important to use as it increases the damage of your follow-up when you successfully trigger Sword Counter. While the Tiger Pendant provides a raw increase of physical damage.
The Twin Infrant Pendant is used for faster stamina recovery, allowing you to deal combos more often or chain more dodges.
| Pendants | ||
|---|---|---|
 Gourd Pendant | Eagle Pendant | Twin Infant Pendant |
The Eagle Pendant is the most important to use as it increases the damage of your follow-up when you successfully trigger Sword Counter.
Temperance and Acupoints
| Acupoints | Effect |
|---|---|
 Shadow Stone Needle - Strength
|
Taps into your acupoint to slightly increase the Strength Control of the weapon you're wielding. |
 Bone Needle - Poise Break
|
Used via tempering to boost your weapon's Poise Break buildup. |
 Shadow Stone Needle - Agility
|
Taps into your acupoint to slightly increase the Agility Control of the weapon you're wielding. |
 Shadow Stone Needle - Feathering
|
Taps into your acupoint to slightly increase the Feathering Control of the weapon you're wielding. |
The Poise Break bone needle is best for the build for increased damage output. You can change this into the Fire bone needle to provide DoT, or the Leech bone needle for survivability. While the Strength, Agility, and Feathering needles increase your weapon damage.
Spells
| Spell | Uses |
|---|---|
 Burning Flames
|
Primarily used for evading attacks while also dealing significant damage. |
Recommend Items
 Manna Vase
|
 Temperance
|
 Soft Rush Flowers
|
 Breaking Flying Dagger
|
We highly recommend using Break Knives along with this setup to synergize with the Poise Break playstyle of the build. Other items in your loadout should be your Manna Flasks for healing, your Temperance to activate Poise Break buff, and the Soft Rush Flowers for increased Stamina recovery.
Playstyle Tips
|
|
Recommended Rotation
- Use Sword Counter on Attacks that use weapons for free hits
- Use two of the follow-up attacks of Sword Counter to deal high damage
- Cast Feathering Wind Strike.
- Repeat steps one to three until the boss is staggered
- Use Obliterate for free hits.
- Attack twice to gain Skyborn Might
Dodge Against Beasts
The build may struggle a bit against beasts, but the Stamina recovery should allow you to chain dodges for flanking. Always towards enemies in a diagonal direction to be able to flank them. At times, we even recommend turning off camera lock.
