5 Devastating Weapon Combos You Need to Master in Where Winds Meet

If you want to carve a path through Where Winds Meet instead of faceplanting into a boss arena wall, your weapon pairing matters. I ran a bunch of loadouts through single-player, PvE, PvP, and raids to see what actually lands. Here are the five combos that consistently deliver, why they work, and where they shine. Heads up on a couple of under-the-hood quirks: the game only has one true ranged-DPS path and one true healer setup, and they both make this list.

1. Heavenquaker Spear + Strategic Sword

   This is the do-it-all setup. It stacks DOT (damage over time) that ramps up the longer you stay on target, and that rolling pressure melts mobs and bosses alike. Bring a bit of mobility in your toolkit and you can handle almost any situation the game throws at you.

   Mode notes: In PvP, it pairs beautifully with a tank and keeps steady pressure in head-to-heads. In PvE and raids, the sustained DPS makes clearing waves and chunking single targets feel unfair.

2. Infernal Twinblades + Mortal Rope Dart

   One of the highest-damage pairings in the game, full stop. You can close the gap fast and, if the target hesitates, delete them before they know what happened.

   Mode notes: In single-player, the damage is bonkers, but you do feel a bit glassy on bosses unless you burn them quickly. In both PvE and PvP, that burst plus the gap-closing tools can wipe enemies in seconds if they fail to answer.

3. Panacea Fan + Soulshade Umbrella

   This is the game’s only true healer loadout, and it matters. You will not top any damage charts, but you will keep everyone upright.

   Mode notes: In single-player and PvP, it keeps you alive long enough to matter, just don’t expect to nuke anything. In PvE and raids, you can stabilize the entire team and pick people back up when things go sideways.

4. Nameless Sword + Nameless Spear

   High single-target damage with real mobility baked in. Great for bossing and for those moments when you need to attack, reposition, and breathe.

   Mode notes: In PvE, the heavy single-target hits take heat off your teammates. In PvP, it’s a go-to because focused damage wins duels.

5. Vernal Umbrella + Inkwell Fan

   The only ranged-DPS martial art path in the entire game, which makes it a special case. Solo, it’s fine but not a meta breaker. The magic happens when you have bodies between you and the enemy.

   Mode notes: In PvE, it pairs nicely with a tank so you can kite and chip down threats while controlling space. In raids, staying at range while pumping reliable damage is exactly what you want.

Your turn: what’s your go-to pairing in Where Winds Meet, and where do you run it?
