Movesets

While equipping Martial Arts in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty will make your character more powerful, you can never go wrong with returning to the basics. Every weapon in the game has basic movesets that utilize light and heavy attacks. Like many hack-and-slash games, both types of moves can be used in a chain of attacks or a combo. Here's a list of the move combinations.

• Chain Attack - Spam Quick Attack 7 times.
• Light to Heavy Attack - Use the Quick Attack followed by a Spirit Attack.
• Heavy Attack - Use the Spirit Attack.
• Running Attack - Sprint towards the enemies, then spam Quick Attack until the combo ends.
• Jump Attack - Jump, then hit Quick Attack mid-air before dropping down.
• Heavy Jump Attack - Jump, then hit Spirit Attack mid-air before dropping down.
• Deflect Counterattack - While shielding yourself, perfectly time the enemy's attack before it hits you, then tap on Dodge. Successfully timing this action to match an enemy's attack allows you to redirect the attack as a deflect.
• Low Body Hit - This move will require a combo of two Running Attacks followed up by a Spirit Attack, then ended with a Deflect Counterattack.

Best Build

Before we reveal our best build, players should take this section of the article with a grain of salt. Building your character to the best it can be will fully depend on your preferences.

Since Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty only allows players to use two Martial Arts Skills on each weapon, we can only choose so much. While wielding Dual Swords, it's best to equip the Sudden Tornado and Willow Wind skills. It's a nice balance of offense and defense.

Sudden Tornado makes you jump forward towards the enemies while spinning in mid-air and hitting them with lethal blows. Naturally, this will put you in a dangerous situation, considering you'd be beside the enemies after pulling off the move.

Having Willow Wind equipped can get you out of a sticky situation. While dealing damage to the enemy, your character will quickly flee from the hostiles. Hitting Sudden Tornado, followed by Willow Wind, is a great way to deal lots of damage while escaping an inevitable death.
