Build Use

A general sustain Inner Way built around the Exhausted state. Every time you use an Exhaustion Execution Skill on an Exhausted enemy, you heal for part of the damage it deals (12% from Tier 1). Tier 3 also gives back 10 Qi on each execution and Tier 4 makes executions hit 5% harder.

Tier 6 is the big upgrade: hitting an Exhausted target with any other skill heals you for 30% of the damage, so the whole Exhausted window becomes a lifesteal phase rather than just the execution itself. Tiers 2 and 5 add Max HP and 2.5% Physical DMG Reduction, making this a solid defensive pick for any weapon.

At Tier 6, spend the Exhausted window hitting the target with your strongest skills before you use the execution; each of those hits heals you for 30% of its damage.
