Master the Magic One-Handed Sword build in wuchang fallen feathers. Focus on Magic spells, Biding Time skill, and Burn buildup for deadly combos.

  • Access to the Impetus Repository skill tree.
  • A One-Handed Sword equipped.
  • Understanding of Magic, Feathering, and Other spell classifications.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Focus on Magic Spells: Prioritize spells classified as 'Magic' within the Impetus Repository.
  2. 2
    Utilize the Biding Time Skill: This cornerstone skill, found in the One-Handed Sword tree, generates one Skyborn Might every 30 seconds when wielding a One-Handed Sword. This allows for frequent spellcasting, even outside of battle.
  3. 3
    Maximize Skyborn Might: To prevent Skyborn Might decay, aim for 90% Madness and acquire the Unbroken Focus skill from the Illusive tree. This skill prevents Skyborn Might from dropping below three charges when above 50% Madness.
  4. 4
    Enhance Burn Buildup: Invest in the Fiery Embers skill from the Illusive tree to significantly increase your Burn Buildup rate, a key status effect for this build.
  5. 5
    Boss Strategy: When facing bosses, use Awakening Seal from the Astral Blade, then focus on inflicting Burn as much as possible.
  6. 6
    Impetus Repository Skill Allocation:
    • One-Handed Sword Tree: Biding Time, Ascending Wrath (for generating Skyborn Might at the end of light attack combos when at max Madness), Windforce (to instantly use charged attacks), and all Swift Blade nodes (to increase weapon power up to +10, requiring Feather weapon materials). Also, unlock all Magic+ nodes, especially those granting +5 for one Red Mercury.
  7. 7
    Illusive Tree: Alacrity (to evade attacks and cast spells, granting Skyborn Might above 50% Madness), Unbroken Focus (to maintain Skyborn Might stacks), Fiery Embers, Fury of the Skyborn (reduces Echo spell cost by one Skyborn Might when above 50% Madness), Bone Needle - Arcane (buffs Magic potency), Bone Needle - Magic (buffs Spell Potency), and Skyborn Resilience (makes casting spells costing four or more Skyborn Might easier).
  8. 8
    Weapon Pairing (Optional): For situations where Magic is less ideal, consider pairing the One-Handed Sword with a Longsword and the Sword Counter Discipline for a defensive, parry-based playstyle. Both Duals and Spears also benefit from Agility, a stat that the One-Handed Sword utilizes.
Tips
  • The Biding Time skill is crucial for treating Magic as a ranged tool, allowing you to engage enemies from a distance without personal risk.
  • Ascending Wrath can be useful during boss battles when you are at max Madness, as it generates a Skyborn Might upon completing a Light attack combo.
  • Swift Blade nodes require Feather weapon materials and have three levels each. Reaching the maximum weapon power of +10 necessitates progressing to the far right of the tree.
  • When progressing through the One-Handed Sword tree, you may need to temporarily use Feathering nodes to access Swift Blade nodes.
  • Focus on grabbing large Agility nodes within the One-Handed Sword tree as you progress.
  • The Illusive Tree contains general nodes that benefit all weapons and builds, such as those that increase Manna Vase efficacy, Tempering charges, and max Skyborn Might allocation.
  • Alacrity is useful when enemies get too close, but maintaining distance is generally preferred for this build.
  • Fury of the Skyborn is particularly helpful for boss spells (Echo spells), which are among the most expensive in the game.
  • Bone Needles (Arcane and Magic) are recommended for boss encounters.
  • Skyborn Resilience helps with casting slower, more powerful spells.
