If you want to master sword building, please read to the end.

What are the two secret methods that will revolutionize your sword build?

Shinpo is a passive skill system that supports Fuenden's combat. Additional effects are activated when an attack hits or at specific timing, determining the uniqueness of the build. Among them, “Kenki Zanpa'' and “Blood Tears Futian'' boast the highest performance as sword-specific Hidden Mind Techniques.

Effects and charm of Kenki Zanpa

• Activation conditions: Continuous input of L2 (parry guard) + attack button (□ or △). If the input is successful again when the weapon lights up, an additional slash will occur.
• Effect: When successful, charges forward and releases a powerful slashing wave, blowing away the enemy. The damage is equivalent to 150-200% of a normal attack, and it is excellently compatible with the Sword of Nine Changes. Since you can convert a back step into a lunge, the chain of pursuit never stops.
• Strength: Specializes in instant firepower. Endurance points in boss battles are quickly depleted, and enemies can be divided in melee. Although the timing is severe, the success rate is higher with the △ input, and with practice it can be activated more than 90% of the time.

The effects and charm of Blood Tears Stop

• Activation conditions: A bleeding stack will be applied with a certain probability (approximately 20-30%) when an attack hits. Continuous damage increases explosively with up to 5 stacks.
• Effect: Each stack inflicts 50-100 damage of bleed per second, with a maximum sustained firepower of over 300% of a normal attack. You can instantly maximize your stack with a series of attacks from the Nine Changes Sword.
• Strengths: The classic continuous damage build. Bleeding penetrates defenses, so it is overwhelming against highly durable bosses and tank opponents in PvP. It has a long stack duration and can be applied to multiple enemies at the same time.

Combining these two will create the perfect sword build with instant firepower and sustained firepower. It is highly versatile and can be used from the beginning to the end even without paying, and is an essential method for sword users.

Complete guide to accessing Oniichi: step-by-step based on opening area

Oniichi is a hidden area hidden underground in the opening area (recommended for the middle of the story, around level 20). It has a black market-like atmosphere, and NPCs will refuse to trade if you don't wear a mask. The key to access is specifying the time, and if you make a mistake, you will miss out.

Prerequisites and preparation

• Recommended level: 25 or higher. After opening the package.
• Required items: None (for exploration only).
• Time adjustment: Set the in-game time to “Oshiji” (around 2 a.m.). Use the “Wait” function from the menu to align accurately.
• Note: It is helpful to explore 100% of the opening map. It is mandatory to clear the event with the carriage mark.

detailed directions

1. Move to the bottom right of Kaifeng Castle Town. Open the map and aim for the lower right corner of the castle town. Ride your horse straight to the “exploration event'' point with the carriage icon. Along the way, try to avoid small enemies and save time.
2. Clear the exploration event. Talk to the NPC near the carriage. Gain trust through simple quests (such as carrying luggage). The building will now be unlocked.
3. Ox time adjustment and building invasion. Set for 2am. You can now enter the building and proceed to the “Kanokeya” area inside. Approach the coffin in the back and interact to dive underground.
4. There is an alternative route (random). If you are attacked by an NPC in the Kiyokawa area and faint, you may be forcibly transferred. It's a luck factor, but the main thing is the above.

After arriving at Oni City, the background music will change to a spooky one, and you will receive a free “Oni Mask” from the mask shop. Equipping is required and allows NPC conversations. If you fail, please rewind time and try again.

Oniichi procedure: Purchasing Shinpō books at used bookstores and progressing through Burinroku

Oniichi is compact, but full of traps. Please try to move stealthly.

1. I will wear a mask. Obtain and wear it at the mask shop near the entrance. If you remove it, you will be immediately expelled.
2. I'll go straight to the used bookstore. Turn right at the center passage and you will find a bookstore NPC at the back of a dark alley. Purchase a book of Mumeishinpo for 500-1000 Nagai-dama. Wurinroku progress increases by 10% for 10 or more books.
3. Free your mind with 100% Burinroku. Use books → Check the Burinroku menu. Kenki Zanpa will be unlocked at 80% and Blood Tears Futian will be unlocked at 100%. The remainder will be recovered by selling.

As an alternative, Blood Tears Endless can also be obtained as a reward from “Bulinroku > Manjiroku > Red Light District 10 Immortal Light”.

How to activate Kenki Zanpa and tips for success: Master it at the practice range

Activation is by repeatedly hitting L2+□/△ during battle. Successful input with weapon flash (0.5-1 second interval).

List of tips

• △Recommended. □It has a wider window and is suitable for beginners.
• Practice rhythm. 3 normal attacks → L2+△. It is the strongest combo when activated immediately after parrying.
• Use the practice range. Aim for success 100 times using a dummy doll at a training center outside Kaifeng.
• When you fail, you don't get stiff because of a mistake. Can be fired repeatedly.
• As an example of damage, a level 30 Kuhen sword does 2000 damage per shot. It is possible to reduce boss HP by 10%.

Utilization of bleeding stack with no blood tears: Strongest build compatibility

20% hit probability and +1 stack. It lasts 10 seconds and is renewable.

Optimization Tips

• Immediately max out with nine consecutive attacks. It is full after 5 hits and deals 500 damage per second.
• Compatible weapons are sword > dual sword. It is a stacking debuff for bleeding resistant enemies.
• Passive reinforcement. Bleeding damage +20% Prioritize decorations.

In PvP, stealth approach → stack explosion is a one-hit attack.

Mind Liberation Quest: Progress details of the opening center section

After Wulinroku reaches 100%, talk to the NPC “Hermit” at the bottom right of the castle in the central section of Kaifeng.

1. I will accept the quest. Book delivery.
2. Time has passed (wait for 1 day).
3. Play mini games. Successful timing input 3 times.
4. Receive your reward. Complete liberation of mind + bonus book.

By clearing all the quests, you can also unlock the additional spirit “Song of Easy Water''.

The reason why the nine-change sword build is the strongest: The triple beat of firepower, speed, and bleeding

The sword of nine changes can be obtained through the strange encounter “Children's River and Lake” quest (Heian NPC conversation → technique activated at specified location).

Recommended build

part	Recommended equipment/Shinpo	effect
main weapon	sword of nine changes	Consecutive bleeding specialized
sub weapon	sword (same)	Counter reinforcement
Shinpo 1	Kenki Zanpa	instant firepower
Shinpo 2	Bloody tears never stop	Continuous damage
passive	Bleeding +20%, speed +15%	Comprehensive reinforcement
decoration	Long ring ball ring	Stamina recovery

Total firepower is 2.5 times normal. I have a track record of defeating the Muso Emperor boss without any damage.

Comparison of other Shinho methods

• Song of Easy Water: Recovery-oriented, survival-oriented.
• Heart Sutra: Specializes in speed, but has inferior firepower.

Kenki Zanpa set is the top DPS.

PvE/PvP practical use and boss capture examples

• PvE: Musoou fight → Phase skip with Kenki Zanpa and dissolve with bleeding.
• PvP: Stealth charge → stack explosion shortens kill time.

Please note that for bleeding resistant enemies, the main attack will be Kenki Zanpa.
