Passive Tree Guide for New Players
Passive Tree Overview
General Passive Tree recommendations are:
Wind
- All Actions point nodes (22 Points) (Center node plus the small nodes next to it), Middle last node for post turn healing.
- Note: This tree is not needed if you have Action Speed from other sources.
Fire
- First Node (and Bottom row for Mobs/Reflect enemies).
- Note: This node is best when you are far stronger than the enemies you are fighting.
Mountain
- First Node (Generalist) or Middle line for tank, Top Node for 1 hit protection.
- Note: This node is best used generally or when you need to survive 1 hit for your Glass Cannon Build. The Armor Build-up Node requires you to get hit 5 times for the full 50% DR, and the Top Node will negate the first hit.
Forest
- Bottom row for Tank.
- Note: This node is best for Tanking. You will need to be next to the enemy to make use of it, but its a guaranteed 40% DR.
Yin
- For Status Effect and Delay builds.
- Note: This node is good for generalists. The Middle 1st Node will reduce the effects of Status Effects by 50%. The last Node has a 150 Delay effect for all attacks.
Thunder
- Bottom row for Generalist/Crit damage.
- Note: The Last Node is very strong if you are using a Str focused Build. At 50 Str, it can add around 300% more damage.
General Passive Tree Builds for Beginners
You don’t want to max out a Tree for the most part, only get what you need. You can always change the Tree on the MC at no cost:
- A good Generalist build: Wind – Fire – Mountain – Thunder
- A 2nd General Build with Delays: Wind – Fire/Thunder – Yin
- For Fights you need to be tankier for: Wind – Mountain – Forest
- For when using Delay or status effects: – Wind – Thunder – Yin
- For full Glass cannon: Wind – Fire – Thunder
Once you know the game, you can stop using Wind and go: Fire, Forest, Mountain, Thunder/Yin. With a special mention to Wind -Last Node (WindWalker) for builds that use Lotus Gem or Nine Provinces.
It becomes less useful if you have another source of extra turn like God of Gambling, but its a nice chunk of healing since healing effects will activate twice per turn if you attack.
Important and Powerful Passive Tree Nodes
- Wind – First (Head Start) and Center(Quick Step) (Small nodes around it).
- Fire – First Node (Strong Arm) and when facing Mobs or enemies with Reflect: 2nd Bottom Node (Collateral Damage).
- Mountain – First Node (Resilient), Middle Row 3rd Node (Armor Build-up).
- Forest – 3rd Node on the Bottom (Damage Transfer).
- Yin – Last Node (Deadly Strike).
- Thunder – First (Power Build-up), 2nd Bottom Node (Mighty), and last Node (Calculated Strike).
