Combat is a major part of Where Winds Meet – especially when it comes to PvP. With so many weapons and different build possibilities, it is understandable that you might find the choice of gear sets overwhelming. There are many different gear sets that each provide solid set bonuses. In this guide, we’ll go over the best gear sets that you can use depending on the weapons that you are using. This will ensure that you get the most out of your build. With that said, let’s get into it!
Best Gear Sets for Every Build & Weapon
There are two types of gear sets in Where Winds Meet: Weapon & Armor Gear Sets. This means that you can run two different types of four piece gear sets, effectively giving you different 4 piece gear set bonuses at the same time.
In this guide, we’ll be looking at 12 of the best gear sets (6 Armor Sets & 6 Weapon Sets) and see which combination of them is best for the build that you are running. We also recommend checking our best unlocks early guide if you’re just starting out.
Jadeware Set & Formbend Set
Recommended Weapons: Nameless Sword & Nameless Spear
Perks: Affinity DMG Bonus & Qi Shield Buff
Explanation: The Daunting Strike skill on the Nameless Sword gives you a Qi Shield for 3 seconds. The buff from the Formbend Set allows you to extend this shield to 5 seconds, helping you defensively. On top of that, using the skill also triggers the Affinity DMG bonus from the Jadeware Set. In essence, these gear sets work hand in hand with the weapons.
Hawkwing Set & Eaglerise Set
Recommended Weapons: Strategic Sword & Heavenquaker Spear
Perks: Physical ATK Stacking & DMG Reduction Stacking
Explanation: The Hawkwing Set enables you to stack damage up to a physical attack bonus of 10%, working really well with the damage over time (DoT) that the weapons provide. On top of that, the Eaglerise Set allows you to benefit from DoT damage by reducing the damage you take massively. Huge for survivability.
Rainwhisper Set & Moonflare Set
Recommended Weapons: Thundercry Blade & Stormbreaker Spear
Perks: Crit DMG + Healing Up & Shield Buff
Explanation: The Predator’s Shield ability on the Thundercry Blade grants you an HP shield. This helps trigger the 4 set bonus of the Rainwhisper Set, allowing you to get Critical DMG and healing up to 25%. The Moonflare Set bonus can also trigger an HP shield which can activate the bonus from the previous set, while also increasing the Max HP to 12%. In essence, both these sets compliment each other and offer huge mitigation values.
Veil Of The Willow Set & Beyond The Chill Set
Recommended Weapons: Inkwell Fan & Vernall Umbrella
Perks: ATK DMG Buff & DMG Reduction
Explanation The Veil of the Willow Set gives you extra precision rates and attack buffs depending on your attack sequence combo. You can do a light and heavy attack combo alongside a heavy and light attack combo. In this way, you can get a total of 24% extra damage for 10 seconds. The Beyond The Chill Set gives you a 40% DMG Reduction bonus provided you do not take damage for 10 seconds. This works really well with the weapons as they have a more ranged style of play.
Swallowcall Set & Calmwaters Set
Recommended Weapons: Infernal Twinblades & Mortal Rope Dart
Perks: Light ATK DMG Buff & Perfect Dodge Restorations
Explanation: These weapons both have a very rapid style of fighting. The Swallowcat Set allows you to buff your light attacks against targets with below 40% Qi, dealing massive damage. On top of that, when dodging, the Calmwaters Set allows you to recover your HP and endurance when doing a perfect dodge. Both compliment the style of play.
Ivorybloom Set & Whirlsnow Set
Recommended Weapons: Panacea Fan & Soulshade Umbrella
Perks: Healing + DMG Buff & Low HP Restoration
Explanation: Both of these weapons revolve primarily on healing and are used by support builds. The Ivorybloom Set grants you extra Critical Rate and at max HP, you get a bonus 5% chance to deal critical healing. This can increase the effects to 15% which is a huge bonus when playing in dungeons or raids. Additionally, the Whirlsnow Set can help you restore an additional 25% of your Max HP in sticky situations. This ensures your survivability and allows you to continue supporting the rest of your team.
