As with all other Soulslike games, your build, essentially constituted by the skills and items your character has, determines how well you can progress through the game.
A good build is, therefore, necessary for a pleasant playthrough of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. However, the wide variety of weapons, stats, and wizardry spells available for the player can be incredibly confusing
AN OVERVIEW OF THE WO LONG CRAFTING SYSTEM
This game’s complex build crafting system may not appeal to everyone, especially casual players who are just looking for a game to kill time on or are playing this game due to the hype
As a general rule of thumb, the first and foremost thing to consider when deciding on a build is to figure out the general playstyle you like to play games with.
After you resolve the required build type, you can dig deeper into the specific Wizardry spells and weapons with compatible Weapon Scalings to further tweak your build to your liking.
This is, in essence, the gist of the crafting system in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. So mainly, you need to choose the following things for yourself:
– Phases
– Wizardry Spells
– Weapons
Phases of Your Build
The Phase of your build will serve as the base for everything else you choose. You can think of it as your build’s general ‘type.’
– Wood Phase
– Water Phase
– Fire Phase
– Earth Phase
– Metal Phase
Picking any of these strengthens your character’s related skills and stats. You can spend Qi points (earnt by killing enemies) to increase your virtue points in the Phase you pick.
