Build Overview: Bleed DPS
This build is designed for players who want the best of both worlds: massive upfront damage and the safety of hit-and-run tactics.
Type: Physical Burst & Sustain Bleed
Strengths:
- Instant Burst: You can inflict heavy trauma the moment you engage.
- Safe Rotation: Mechanics like invincibility frames allow you to disengage and recover stamina while your enemies continue to lose health from Bleed.
- Self-Sustaining Buffs: The synergy between your weapons allows you to convert Bleed stacks into damage buffs, creating a seamless loop of pain.
Best DPS Weapons
S-Tier DPS Weapons | |
| |
Strategic Sword (Main Weapon) | Heavenquaker Spear (Sub Weapon) |
1. Strategic Sword
- Role: Bleed Application & Burst Detonation
- Stack Bleeds: The Strategic Sword is your primary tool for applying pressure. Its main goal is to stack the Bleed status effect on enemies up to 5 times. Once fully stacked, the damage "detonates," causing a massive burst of HP loss.
- Charge Invincibility: During the charge animation, your character becomes invisible and gains Invincibility. Use this to phase through Boss attacks or enemy player skills, positioning yourself behind them for a counter-attack without taking a scratch.
2. Heavenquaker Spear
- Role: Buff Activation, Crowd Control (CC) & Defense Shred
- Sober Sorrow Synergy: Uniquely, this skill counts existing "Bleed" ticks as hits. This means even against a single boss, you can instantly trigger the max-tier buff without needing to hit multiple enemies.
- Crowd Control Immunity: The spear’s special skill allows you to charge targets while immune to CC, making it perfect for breaking through enemy defenses.

Best DPS Mystic Skills

Best DPS Gear Sets
We recommend two specific gear sets. This aligns with the official recommendation of balancing offensive scaling with defensive reliability.
1. Hawkwing Set
- 2-Piece Effect: +0.1% Affinity Rate
- 4-Piece Bonus: Triggers Hawkwing upon Affinity damage, increasing Physical Attack by 2% (Stacks up to 5 times).
Why use it: Pure offensive scaling. As you bleed enemies, your raw attack power rises.
2. Eaglerise Set
- 2-Piece Effect: +1 Physical Defense
- 4-Piece Bonus: Dealing DoT (like Bleed) grants Eaglerise stacks, reducing incoming damage by 1.2%. At max stacks, you gainEagle Guard, reducing the next hit taken by 90%
Why use it: This makes you incredibly tanky. Since you are constantly dealing DoT, you will almost always have high damage mitigation active.
How to Play a Bleed DPS Well in WWM?
This build isn't about button mashing; it's about a disciplined rotation. Your goal is to apply Bleed, swap weapons to buff yourself, and then detonate the damage.
- Start with the Strategic Sword. Use the Charged Skill to apply 5 stacks of Bleed.
- Swap to Heavenquaker Spear. Cast Sober Sorrow. Since the enemy is bleeding, this instantly grants you the max-tier damage buff.
- Immediately cast Sweep All with the Spear. This attack benefits from the Sober Sorrow buff and shreds enemy defense.
- Swap back to Strategic Sword. Use Inner Balance Strike 3 followed by Crisscrossing Swords. This will detonate the bleed on the defense-broken enemy for massive damage.
- Use the Sword's Charge skill to disengage or chase, and restart the cycle.
