Learn how to acquire the Fivefold Bleed innate skill in Where Winds Meet. This guide details the steps to unlock Kaifeng City and obtain this powerful strategic sword ability.
To obtain the Fivefold Bleed skill in Where Winds Meet, you must first unlock Kaifeng City. This involves completing the Blissful Retreat and Still Shore campaign, then taking a boat from the ferrymaster near Harvestfall Village and progressing the main storyline in Kaifeng’s outskirts.
Once in Kaifeng City, head to the Grand Imperial Temple located in the central eastern part of the city. Speak to a monk in the small shrine in the top right corner of the temple. You will then need to complete a task involving lighting three different lights. An NPC for each light is available within the building, and they cycle daily. You can skip time to interact with different buddha monks and receive their tasks. Completing these tasks will reward you with the Fivefold Bleed skill.
How Fivefold Bleed Works
The Fivefold Bleed skill has a 10% chance to apply one stack of Weeping Blood for 5 seconds when dealing damage. Each stack damages the target once per second, stacking up to 5 times. The duration refreshes upon stacking. At 5 stacks, Weeping Blood is removed, dealing piercing damage once. This effect synergizes well with the Sword Horizon legendary skill for the Strategic Sword, potentially doubling the procs when spending bleed stacks.
At its max rank, Fivefold Bleed allows you to retain some bleed stacks, enabling more frequent bleeds, increased affinity, and higher burst damage. This makes it a key scaling innate skill for Strategic Sword builds.
