Base Buff
Successfully deflecting with Snowparting Blade can activate Heavy Attack Varied Combo Snowbreak Spring: Press Varied Combo or Heavy Attack to consume 1 bar of Blade Momentum to quickly slash the enemy once while granting Tenacity. This attack deals 36% bonus HP damage against non-player units. Snowbreak Spring can only be triggered once every 2 seconds.
Breakthrough Gains
- Tier 1●●●●●●
During Iron Guards, when Snowbreak Spring hits an enemy, a Heng Blade Anxi Soldier appears and deals additional follow-up damage.
- Tier 2●●●●●●
Increases Min Physical Attack based on Solo Mode Level.
- Tier 3●●●●●●
Fully casting Light Attack Charged Skill Grave Frost and Heng Blade - Dual-Weapon Skill activates Finding Spring. Hitting a target with Finding Spring restores 0.5 bar of Blade Momentum.
- Tier 4●●●●●●
Increases the Inner Passion stacks applied by Special Skill Fleeting Trace to 4. During Inner Passion, casting Snowbreak Spring consumes 1 stack to increase its HP damage against non-player units by 40%.
- Tier 5●●●●●●
Increases Direct Critical Rate by 4.6%.
- Tier 6●●●●●●
Snowbreak Spring deals 10% more damage and grants Forgetfulness: you can cast Grave Frost once without charging within 3s. This uncharged Grave Frost resets the trigger interval of Snowbreak Spring. Forgetfulness can be gained once every 6s. Hitting an exhausted boss with Snowbreak Spring grants the Inner Passion damage bonus, resets the cooldown of Forgetfulness, and extends Dread by 2s.
Build Use
The core Inner Way for Snowparting Blade in Stonesplit - Strength. Deflect with the Snowparting Blade, then press Heavy Attack or Varied Combo to fire Snowbreak Spring: a fast slash with Tenacity and 36% bonus HP damage against bosses and other non-player enemies. It spends 1 bar of Blade Momentum each time, so it rewards good deflect timing in PvE.
Later tiers build a loop around it. Tier 1 adds an Anxi Soldier follow-up during Iron Guards, Tier 3 refunds Blade Momentum through Finding Spring, and Tier 4 lets Inner Passion stacks from Fleeting Trace add 40% more HP damage. Tier 6 is the payoff: an uncharged Grave Frost resets Snowbreak Spring's timer, and hitting an exhausted boss keeps Inner Passion, Forgetfulness and Dread rolling.
