Best Longsword Build in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
Longswords are arguably the best type of weapons players can use in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers; here's the best way to build your character to use them.
Recommended Armor With High Feathering Protection in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
While it's important to consider Feathering defense from armor, especially when facing the abovementioned bosses in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, players should remember that bosses in the game rarely attack with only one type of damage. In addition, almost every other boss may utilize other elemental or magical attacks during a fight, as well as inflict status ailments on the player. Of course, each case is individual, but every boss will also deal Physical damage — either Slash, Blunt, Stab attacks, or a combination of all three, depending on their primary weapon.
Therefore, when facing bosses who deal both Physical and Feathering damage, the most optimal armor set suggestion is this:
- Avian Hunter's Mask - 18.0
- Palace Maid's Satin Dress - 26.1
- Centipede Vambraces - 8.5
- Ghost Warrior Sandals - 11.9
Wuchang players can easily transmog their armor to look like any other piece of equipment anywhere in the game, and at no cost.
With the above set equipped, players will gain strong physical damage negation: around 40% for Slash and Stab attacks, around 30% for Blunt, while maintaining Feathering negation at over 50% (also depending on the character's level and attributes). In addition, this combination grants substantial Tenacity (6.2), ensuring players won't be interrupted during a fight too often by regular attacks.
