Inner Ways

1. 

   Sword Horizon

   After casting <Strategic Sword's|781||10101> Martial Art Skill, Special Skill, or Charged Skill, you can cast Crosswind Blade during the ending phase to unleash follow-up attacks and deal high Bleed damage if the target has max stacks of Bleed.

2. 

   Wolfchaser's Art

   Reduces the required combo number to gain the buff of <Heavenquaker Spear's|781||10201> Martial Art Skill, <Sober Sorrow|781||10201|20101101>. Hitting any target with Bleed effect from you has a chance to increase the combo count.

3. 

   Morale Chant

   Attacking or healing has a chance to grant one stack of effect that increases your damage and healing dealt, stacking up to 5 times. Can only be triggered once every 2 seconds.

4. 

   Insightful Strike

   Dealing Affinity Damage increases your ability to counter enemy attacks, boosts Affinity Damage, and has a chance to reduce Damage Taken.

Alternative: If Fivefold Bleed is already well upgraded, use it instead of Insightful Strike and compare a complete single-target cycle.

Rotation

1. 1Strategic Sword: bring Inner Track Slash to stage two and apply 5 Bleed stacks.
2. 2Switch to Heavenquaker Spear, land roughly 10 Sober Sorrow hits, then cancel the ending with parry to preserve the buff window.
3. 3Charge the heavy attack to stage one, gain 5 Soul Shaken stacks, then use Dragon's Breath and shorten its animation with parry.
4. 4Return to Strategic Sword: Inner Balance Strike III → Crosswind Blade to cash in the prepared window.
5. 5While the buffs remain active, repeat the spear charge and Dragon's Breath; restart the full cycle before they expire.

Practical notes

• Do not build the full cycle against short-lived normal enemies; Inner Track Slash and the basic burst are enough.
• With an unstable connection, avoid chaining two animation cancels: a dropped input costs more than the theoretical gain.
