Dao Lord in Where Winds Meet.

How the fight tends to feel.

Think of Dao Lord as a vibe check: arena framing, music, camera behavior, and NPC dialogue all hint at whether you should expect a tight duel, a methodical battlefield, or something more psychological.

Preparation: weapons & builds.

Treat this page as a companion, not a strict script. Before Dao Lord, think about which weapons and builds have felt comfortable in similar situations, then use guides as reference points rather than a hard checklist.

• Browse the weapons overview and pick options whose rhythm matches how you handle sustained pressure, burst windows, or slower setups.
• In the build guides, choose archetypes with enough sustain and comfort to learn patterns. A calm, consistent build often beats fragile "perfect" setups while you are still learning.
• Your first clears are scouting. Notice what stresses you most (camera, adds, burst windows) and adjust weapons/builds specifically around those pain points.

If the fight later feels different in-game, trust your own observations. This page is an entry perspective, not a strict manual.
