Martial arts quick reference
All martial art weapons with pictures, skills, and unlock paths.
Where Winds Meet ties each martial art to a specific weapon. The table below mirrors the wiki layout you shared—icons, path tags, core skills, and the exact unlock steps—so you can see every option at a glance. Pair it with the Skill Theft guide for stealth routes and with the sect primer if you plan to join a school instead of stealing a style.
Tip: you can equip two martial arts at once. Mix offense and support (for example, Silkbind - Deluge + Stonesplit - Might) to cover both survivability and party utility.

Image + path + signature skills + how to obtain
Most unlocks come from either Skill Theft missions (stealth and observation mini-games) or joining a sect long enough to claim their teachings. Qi Sheng can also hand out a few weapons once you submit your first Oddity. Check the list before traveling so you can bring Loong Keys for locked sanctums.

Unlock flow in practice
- Skill Theft: Stealth into the marked sanctum, invest a Loong Key if needed, observe the master, and beat the ring-timing mini-game to copy the style.
- Join & leave sects: You can temporarily join a sect to claim its weapon, then swap allegiances later. Check the sect clues menu and travel for invitations.
- Oddities and mail: Submitting your first Oddity to Qi Sheng or checking mailbox rewards can hand out key weapons without extra travel.
Leveling your martial arts
- Spend Zhou Coins and Training Items to raise levels; they cannot pass your character level without a breakthrough.
- Breakthroughs unlock every 10 levels and require Custom Tips (buyable with Jade Fish in the Activity Shop) plus coins and training items.
- Upgrades boost both damage and side effects like shields or heals, so even support weapons feel noticeably better as they rank up.
For pacing, farm Training Items from regular enemies while queuing for sect or Skill Theft runs so you never sit at a level cap.
