Where Winds Meet – Mo Blade & Spear Tank Build Guide

If you’re looking for one of the strongest and most reliable tank builds in Where Winds Meet, this Mo Blade and Spear setup is among the best options available. This guide breaks down the full rotation, explains how to maximize your damage and survivability, and offers early recommendations for gear and Inner Ways.

Overview

This tank build focuses on two weapons that share the Stonesplit Might trait, making them ideal for defensive, high-threat gameplay:

• Mo Blade using Thundercry Blade Martial Arts

• Stormbreaker Spear

The synergy between these weapons creates a rotation that applies Vulnerability, generates shields, maintains strong taunts, and empowers high-damage charged attacks.

Multiplayer Rotation Guide

1. Begin with Mo Blade

Start with Shield Veil of Stillness on the Mo Blade to immediately gain a protective shield.

2. Swap to Spear (Tab)

Use your Special Skill: Thunder Shock to:

• Apply Vulnerability for 8 seconds

• Potentially knock the enemy down

3. Cast Storm Roar (Martial Art)

This skill:

• Taunts your target

• Shocks them, reducing their outgoing damage

• Grants Fortitude, giving you crowd-control immunity

4. Perform a Charged Heavy Attack

Charging your spear attack activates Drumbeat, increasing your charged skill damage and empowering one Mo Blade skill later in the rotation.

5. Swap Back to Mo Blade (Tab)

6. Use Mo Blade Special Skill

This gathers weaker enemies, but more importantly, it grants Focus, giving your next charged attack 50% increased charging speed.

7. Cast Heaven’s Shift (Martial Art)

This is your empowered Mo Blade skill thanks to the spear’s Drumbeat passive. It provides:

• A fresh shield

• Fighting Spirit restoration

• 30% charged attack damage for 12 seconds

• Removal of endurance cost on charged attacks

8. Begin Charging Heavy Attacks

Now enter your damage phase:

• Continue using charged attacks

• Repeat the sequence before your buffs expire

If you run out of Fighting Spirit, blocking will quickly restore it so you can maintain your rotation.

Mo Blade Charged Attack Tips

Mo Blade’s charge attacks have three power stages. Release your attack once the weapon glows red for maximum impact.

• Light Charged Attack: Great for AoE. Press light attack once more after releasing the charge to perform an additional sweeping hit.

• Heavy Charged Attack: Follow the charge with another heavy attack to unleash a powerful finisher for bonus damage.

Single-Player Rotation

You can use the same multiplayer rotation in solo content. However, boss design currently resembles Souls-like encounters, where careful parrying and counterattacking tend to outperform preset rotations. Feel free to adjust based on the encounter.
