Top Builds for When Winds Converge

Select Language:

Creating the best builds in Where Winds Meet isn’t straightforward. The combat system can feel overwhelming, especially once you level up and unlock tougher content. While you can mix and match weapons in solo play, cooperative raids demand more strategy.

Many important details aren’t clearly explained in the game unless you sift through numerous menus. The vast amount of numbers, percentages, and unfamiliar skill names can intimidate even the most experienced RPG players. To make it easier, we’ve put together some of the top builds, including the best weapons, Inner Ways, and more, so you can excel in both PVE and PVP.

Tank Build for Where Winds Meet
Tanks lead the charge, drawing enemy attention so teammates can perform their special moves smoothly. This build focuses on maximizing health and defense using gear, with key weapons like the Thundercry Blade and Stormbreaker Spear. These weapons help reduce damage and create shields to block attacks.

Use the spear’s charged attack to earn Drumbeat, a powerful buff that boosts damage and enhances the Thundercry Blade’s shield ability for even more damage. Wearing the Rainwhisper and Moonflare gear sets will boost your damage and durability. The Rainwhisper set increases critical damage when you have a shield, while Moonflare helps you create shields faster during combos.

Here are four Inner Ways to complete the tank setup:

Exquisite Scenery
Art of Resistance
Battle Anthem
Morale Chant

Exquisite Scenery lets you perform free level 1 charged attacks after defending, and it gets stronger with upgrades. Art of Resistance extends your shield’s durability. Battle Anthem boosts damage against bosses and other targets after some upgrades. Morale Chant stacks damage buffs just by attacking, giving you a significant overall boost.

DPS Build for Where Winds Meet
For players aiming to dish out maximum damage, the Heavenquaker Spear and Strategic Sword form a perfect combo. This build revolves around applying bleed effects, which are detonated for huge damage once enough stacks are accumulated. Both weapons can inflict bleed, offering flexibility.

Start with the Heavenquaker Spear to gain a buff based on hits landed, then switch to the Strategic Sword to stack bleed and unleash its devastating ability when enough stacks are present. Repeat this cycle for best results.

Use the Hawkwing and Eaglerise gear sets:

Hawkwing increases attack and affinity each time you trigger an affinity attack (similar to a critical hit but scaling with max attack).
Eaglerise offers extra survivability, activating a defensive buff when you inflict damage over time, helping when facing tough enemies. Be sure to tune gear pieces to boost key stats like attack and health.

Four Inner Ways to enhance this build:

Sword Horizon
Wolfchaser’s Art
Fivefold Bleed
Morale Chant

Sword Horizon enables a second activation of the Strategic Sword’s skill to trigger Crosswind Blade for big damage when bleed stacks are high. Wolfchaser’s Art makes the Heavenquaker Spear’s buffs easier to activate. Fivefold Bleed adds a chance to trigger bleed and deals piercing damage at max stacks, but be mindful as it resets bleed stacks, so timing your detonation is key. Morale Chant adds a stacking damage boost on attack, which is free damage that helps every fight.

Healer Build in Where Winds Meet
Supporters sacrifice some damage output but excel at keeping the team alive in tough battles. This build uses the Panacea Fan and Soulshade Umbrella, allowing you to heal allies from a safe distance while also dealing some damage.

Start by casting Floating Grace with the Umbrella to boost team damage. Use Echoes of a Thousand Plants to keep healing and generate Dew (a vital healing resource). Switch to the Panacea Fan to heal with Emerald Dewtouch or summon a water clone for extra healing. Their special, Light Dust After Morning Rain, heals allies and can resurrect teammates if enough Dew is stored.

Use gear sets like Ivorybloom and Whirlsnow:

Ivorybloom boosts critical healing chances.
Whirlsnow speeds up healing recovered when your health is low, keeping you alive longer.

Four Inner Ways to round out this healing build:

Royal Remedy
Restoring Blossom
Mending Loom
Morale Chant

Royal Remedy enhances your healing clones and Dew generation. Restoring Blossom boosts critical healing power. Mending Loom improves Dew-based healing and Dew generation capabilities. Morale Chant applies a stacking healing buff, making your healing even more effective.

No matter your chosen style, Morale Chant proves invaluable across all builds for its stacking buffs to damage and healing.
