Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Best Builds for Beginners

Primary Weapon

This build focuses on optimizing damage using straight sabres which have fast swing speed. Compared to slower weapons that are more committal when attacking, straight sabres let you recover faster for when you need to deflect incoming strikes and are generally very easy to use. Because of the weapon’s short range, you may find yourself switching to a backup spear or bow often throughout the game.

Secondary Weapon

When putting Qi points to the Fire Virtue, it is recommended to use spears which have superior range and crowd control to straight sabres. Bows and crossbows also pair well with the straight sword if you choose to invest in Water Virtue instead.

Stats to Prioritize

Prioritize Wood Virtue.

The Wood Virtue should be your main stat to level up. This parameter covers both the amount of additional HP you can per points allocated as well as how much damage you deal with your primary weapon.

Raise Fire or Water Virtue as a secondary stat.

Depending on your preferred backup weapon, decide whether to put Qi points into Fire (spear) or Water (bows). The former grants you increased Spirit gain and reduced Spirit cost when using Martials Arts. Spending points into Water Virtue, meanwhile, lets you use bows and crossbows in addition to boosting Stealth for surprise attacks (Fatal Strikes).
