Inner Ways
Core = take it. Flex = good default, swap freely. Click any card for full tier details.
Echoes of OblivionCoreMust-have. Twinblade Light Attacks ignore Physical Defense and Bamboocut Resistance.
Infernal Twinblades damage Inner Way: Light Attacks mark enemies with Sin and Karma to ignore Physical Defense and Bamboocut Resistance, with both marks granting Samsara for bonus HP damage, plus Perfect Dodge Samsara, Delusion resets and crit stats.
Morale ChantCoreMust-have. Keep it stacked — you hit very often.
Stacking damage and healing passive: attacking or healing builds Yi River for Physical Penetration and bonus output, doubled against controlled targets.
VendettaCoreRats and Vendetta Token last 15s longer — more rat damage.
Mortal Rope Dart rodent Inner Way: longer Vendetta Token, Rodent Rampage and Charging Stance rodents, faster Token of Gratitude recovery, a delayed Rodent Hunt burst and anti-healing rodent hits on marked targets.
Breaking PointFlexExtra penetration and Crit damage.
Crit burst Inner Way for Spirit-Depleted enemies: Critical hits build stacks of Physical Penetration and Critical Damage, with more stacks, longer duration and a 5-stack Perfect Dodge refill at higher tiers.
Riptide Reflex is a fine swap if you want more skill uptime.

- Light Attacks are your real damage — skills just set them up.
- Rats keep attacking after a swap, so always swap with rats out.
- Use Rodent’s Resilience before big fights for CC resistance and healing.
- Calmwaters rewards Perfect Dodges with HP — dodge instead of blocking.
