Where Winds Meet: Best Heavenquaker Spear Build

by

The Heavenquaker Spear is a really fun and powerful combat style in Where Winds Meet. To learn it, you’ll need to find the Heavenquaker Spear Sanctum in the northeast part of Qinghe and use the Skill Theft ability on the martial master there. Once you’ve stolen the technique, you’ll unlock the complete spear style. When built correctly, the Heavenquaker Spear feels incredibly strong and smooth, allowing you to quickly defeat tough enemies and challenging groups with a combination of flowing attacks and powerful bursts of damage in Where Winds Meet.

Best Heavenquaker Spear Build

The Heavenquaker Spear really shines when used with a sword style that builds up quickly. Many players consider the combination of the Heavenquaker Spear and a strategic sword to be one of the most damaging setups in Where Winds Meet. Fortunately, the game lets you switch weapons during fights, allowing for smooth combos and high damage.

This combination is powerful because the Strategic Sword and Spear quickly build up a damage bonus called ‘Bleed,’ and then the Spear’s ‘Sober Sorrow’ ability can unleash a massive amount of damage when those bonuses are active.

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 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

Okay, so I’ve been experimenting with the Heavenquaker Spear, and honestly, pairing it with Mystic skills just makes it way better. It covers up pretty much all the Spear’s few downsides. If you want a really solid build, you need skills that can break through shields or just keep enemies totally locked down. And if you’re like me and enjoy PvP, definitely focus on skills that can stagger opponents – it’s a game changer!

Here are some of the best Mystic Skills for Heavenquaker Spear.

Mystic Skill Perks
Dragon’s Breath 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.
