The Heavenquaker Spear is one of the most satisfying and explosive martial styles in Where Winds Meet. To unlock this Weapon Martial Art, you need to visit the Heavenquaker Spear Sanctum in the northeastern region of Qinghe and perform Skill Theft on the martial master inside. Once you successfully steal the technique, the full spear style becomes available to you. With the right build, the Heavenquaker Spear build feels both powerful and effortless, letting you carve through bosses and elite mobs with a mix of fluid motion and sudden bursts of damage in Where Winds Meet.
Best Early Builds (Path Progression) in Where Winds Meet
If you want to optimize your early game progression in Where Winds Meet, here are a few ideas to help you get started.
Best Heavenquaker Spear Build
The Heavenquaker Spear becomes truly powerful when paired with a fast-stacking sword style. The Heavenquaker Spear + Strategic Sword combination is widely considered one of the most explosive DPS setups in Where Winds Meet. Luckily, you can easily swap weapons mid-combat, which means seamless combos and lots of damage output.
The synergy comes from fast and reliable Bleed stacking with the Strategic Sword and the Spear’s ability to convert those stacks into enormous burst windows through Sober Sorrow.
Best Internal Arts for Heavenquaker Spear + Strategic Sword
|
Internal Art (Inner Ways) |
Why It’s Preferred |
|---|---|
|
Wolfchaser’s Art |
Wolfchaser’s Art is conveniently found in a chest inside the same sanctum where you unlock the spear. It reduces Sober Sorrow’s hit requirement from 10 to 8, meaning you can activate Riverflow much faster. Even better, this internal art grants a high chance to add extra combo count when hitting an enemy who is affected by Bleed. |
|
Sword Horizon is an essential inner art for the sword side of this combo. After using a Strategic Sword martial or charged skill, Sword Horizon lets you perform a follow-up attack. If the enemy has five bleed stacks, this follow-up will remove all bleed stacks and deal high Bleed damage. That means you get a powerful payoff for your bleed setup before swapping back to the spear. |
|
|
Adaptive Steel |
Adaptive Steel is another good fit for this build, though more supportive than core. Its effect changes depending on your weapon: for the spear, it grants a bonus that ignores 12.5% of enemy physical defense. For the sword side, Adaptive Steel can also provide occasional extra bleed application when dealing Affinity damage. |
|
Morale Chant |
Morale Chant is universal and is recommended if you want extra damage or healing without giving up the synergy of the spear and sword. |
Best Mystic Skills for Heavenquaker Spear
Mystic skills complement the Heavenquaker Spear beautifully and help fill in its few weaknesses. For the perfect build, you need skills that help you deal with shielded enemies or keep enemies locked down. For players interested in PvP, staggering skills are really important.
Here are some of the best Mystic Skills for Heavenquaker Spear.
|
Mystic Skill |
Perks |
|---|---|
|
This is hands-down the best go-to Mystic for this build. It breathes fire with Qi, dealing damage over two hits + a burn DoT on affected enemies. |
|
|
Tai Chi |
Tai Chi is a strong Mystic Art that works particularly well against shield-bearing enemies. It can break shields or guard mechanics that can block your bleed + spear combos. |
|
Yaksha Rush |
Yaksha Rush is a stagger Mystic Skill that works very well in PvE and PvP. If an enemy blocks often or uses a defensive stance, Yaksha Rush can break their guard and open them to spear hits or bleed stacks. |
|
Ghost Bind |
Ghost Bind delivers short-duration crowd control: it immobilizes up to six enemies and breaks their Vital Points (which often disrupts their Qi regen). In crowded PvE situations, this gives you time and space to spam bleed stacks with Strategic Sword, then swap to Heavenquaker Spear for a devastating sweep. |
