How to Unlock Free Morph

Source: Challenge Tian Ying (spin-kick deflect)

  1. Start Challenge: Tian Ying

    Enter the Challenge version of Tian Ying. You need to reach Phase 2 where the spinning kicks begin.

  2. Deflect spinning kicks

    Time deflects on Tian Ying's spinning kicks in Phase 2. Successful deflects unlock Free Morph.

  3. Claim Free Morph

    After enough deflects, you receive the Mystic. If you miss, restart the encounter and focus on the spin attacks.

Tip: If you miss the deflect window, restart the encounter and focus on parrying only the spinning kick strings. The skill unlocks once you've deflected enough of these attacks in Phase 2.

Skill Details & Tier Bonuses

Base

Vault up, launch target, midair flurry, small AoE finisher. Single-target juggle, minor splash at the end.

Tier 3

+20% damage to enemies with HP Shields.

Tier 4

Vitality cost -5, making repeated casts cheaper.

Costs/cooldown are based on Tier 4 data from top guides (Game8, allthings.how). Earlier tiers have the same cooldown but higher Vitality cost until Tier 4.

How to Use Free Morph in Builds

  • - Use after a stun/launch to extend airtime and deny enemy actions (PvE/PvP).
  • - Pair with Inspiration-saving buffs or Vitality sustain for longer strings.
  • - Weave it into single-target boss windows; avoid wasting it when multiple enemies can interrupt.
  • - If the target has an HP Shield, aim to hit during the shield window to leverage the Tier 3 bonus.
Pair with other single-target juggle tools (Talon Strike, Yaksha Rush) in PvE bossing, or use as a surprise control tool in PvP after forcing a whiff. Lower Vitality cost at Tier 4 makes it safer to weave between mobility skills.
