Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Aerial Bulwark Effects and How to Unlock

Add to Watchlist

Aerial Bulwark is a Discipline from the Spear Branch of the Impetus Repository in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. See its effects and how to unlock it here!

How Does Aerial Bulwark Work?

Time the Release on Enemy Attacks

Aerial Bulwark is the default Discipline skill for Spears and allows you to dodge and counter enemy attacks as you time the release to attack. Make sure to use this when you already have Skyborn Might stacks on hand so you get a faster charge-up time than usual.

Do note that this Discipline skill cannot convert Boldheart into Skyborn Might. Additionally, try to get the Aerial Bulwark - Variant so you can get more Skyborn Might stacks while charging and gain damage reduction.

Take Rock Plume for Resilience

Rock Plume is extremely helpful for this skill as it allows you to continue attacking without getting interrupted after procing Fleetness from Aerial Bulwark.

Hello! Aerial Bulwark requires you to time the release attack against enemy attacks to proc fleetness and gain Skyborn Might. Charging the move will not do anything unless you have its Variant slotted in, which also gives more Skyborn Might. The team has updated the page to clarify this. Thank you, and we appreciate your patience! :)

I can't for the life of me figure out how to proc the fleeting while charging this move. Also Aerial Bulwark doesn't seem to convert the stacks of my bold heart. Any tips?
