Ye Wanshan in Where Winds Meet.

Encounter type: Warlord encounter / large-scale battle

Once a defender of the north—now a relentless attacker of the central plains.

A fallen general; the battle carries the weight of broken oaths and shifting loyalties. What turns a protector into an executioner?

This page is a spoiler-light companion to the weapons overview and the build guides. Patch notes can change Ye Wanshan's mechanics, but the story tone and atmosphere usually remain recognizable.

Notes: This page is based on official Where Winds Meet material and general ARPG experience. It aims to set expectations for vibe and pacing, not to claim exact mechanics. In-game experience and patch notes come first.

How the fight tends to feel.

Think of Ye Wanshan 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 Ye Wanshan, 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.

Watching Ye Wanshan in motion.

Official footage for Ye Wanshan is a great way to get a feel for pacing and mood without fast‑forwarding through someone else's full clear. Instead of trying to memorize every swing, focus on what it feels like to share an arena with them.

As you watch, you might pay attention to details like how the arena is framed, how quickly attacks chain together, and when the camera pulls back or closes in. Those cues tell you a lot about whether the encounter rewards patience, aggression, or careful movement.

Video links usually reference official showcase footage. If a clip fails to load, it likely means the hosting URL has changed since this page was last updated (or the original source has moved).
