Best Builds & Class Styles
In practice, most players do not think in pure weapon names—they think in “classes” or build fantasies. The setups below translate S and A tier tools into concrete builds you can aim for.
裂石·威 – Mo Blade Frontline
S Tier TankCombines Mo Blade's heavy hits with strong shields and survivability. Ideal if you want to anchor groups, face bosses head-on, and still deal meaningful damage.
Key Synergy: Supportive arts or Umbrella tools for constant uptime.
鳴金·影 – Sword + Spear Bleed
S Tier DPSThese builds use spear skills to stack bleed and other debuffs, then swap to sword to detonate them. Simpler Nameless Sword + Nameless Spear routes work great for beginners; advanced variants push damage much higher.
Playstyle: High APM, debuff management, burst windows.
破竹·風 – Dual Blades Assassin
PVP SpecialistRope Dart drags targets out of position, then Dual Blades dive in to finish the job. It is mechanically demanding but extremely satisfying if you enjoy reads, feints, and turning enemy mistakes into instant deletes.
Focus: Isolation, burst damage, mobility.
How to Read This Tier List
Each tier reflects an overall impression that blends damage, survivability, ease of use, and flexibility. Instead of obsessing over micro differences, we group weapons into bands of power.
- PVE vs PVP: Weapons are grouped by real endgame performance. PVE favors consistency and control; PVP favors burst and mobility.
- Tiers are not destiny: A dedicated player with a C-tier favorite can often outperform a meta-chaser who doesn't know their rotation.
Tier List Philosophy
This list is built for consistency. An S-tier weapon that requires frame-perfect inputs might be B-tier for a casual player.
We prioritize options that perform well in lag, chaos, and uncoordinated groups.
Updates will happen after large patches or seasonal events. We won't shift rankings just for novelty.
Build Strategy
Look for synergies. A strong crowd control weapon might pair best with a sustain-focused build.
