Achieving 'Golden Inner Bay' Level 4 allows you to utilize the counterattack mechanism without parrying, which is very useful in cooperative play. Both weapons use a shared resource in the bottom right, which is consumed by sword counterattacks, greatsword buffs, and greatsword charge attacks, so efficient management is crucial. 🔄 Shared Resource: Efficiently manage the resource consumed by counterattacks, greatsword buffs, and charge attacks. 🛡️ Utilize Parry: The key is to parry enemy attacks and link them into powerful counterattacks. ✨ Golden Inner Bay: At Level 4, you can use the counterattack mechanism without parrying.

For the Heng Blade and Greatsword build, the Inner Force set varies depending on the weapon dealing the primary damage. For a Heng Blade-centric build, we recommend 'Konyashka,' 'Moroznaya Noch,' and 'Iskusstvo Pronzaniya Gorla.' For a Greatsword-centric build, we recommend 'Konyashka,' 'Adaptivnaya Stal,' and 'Boyevoy Gimn.' For equipment sets, 'Shattered Ridge,' which increases damage on successful parries, or 'Wing Set,' which provides a 10% increase to all damage, are good choices. 🌀 Inner Force Selection: Choose 'Konyashka,' 'Moroznaya Noch,' or 'Adaptivnaya Stal' based on your main weapon. ⚔️ Equipment Set: Increase counterattack damage with 'Shattered Ridge' or boost all damage with 'Wing Set.' 📈 Stat Priority: Prioritize Attack Power, Critical Damage, Critical Rate, Health Damage, and Defense Penetration.

The hidden Inner Forces 'Mokgwansul' and 'Daphwabun' can be acquired through a complex process at specific outposts. You must clear multiple floors of the outpost, climb a broken cup-shaped structure to find a treasure chest, then proceed to the boss room and defeat the boss. After defeating the boss, investigate specific bookshelves and scrolls and select 'Enlightenment' to obtain each Inner Force. The most important precaution is that if you accidentally interact with other books or scrolls within the outpost, you will suffer from the 'Hwadok' debuff, which distorts your character's appearance and negatively affects stats. Therefore, you must only investigate what is specified in the guide. 🗺️ Outpost Exploration: Track Inner Force locations on the map and clear outposts. 📖 Acquire Inner Force: After defeating the boss, investigate specific bookshelves and scrolls to obtain 'Mokgwansul' and 'Daphwabun.' ⚠️ Hwadok Warning: Be careful not to read the wrong books, as it will inflict the 'Hwadok' debuff. If afflicted, seek treatment at a clinic.

The Horizontal Blade and Ink Blade combination provides a powerful DPS build for destroying bosses. The Horizontal Blade acts as the main weapon, dealing overwhelming damage to bosses, while the Ink Blade serves as an opener and buff provider, maximizing the Horizontal Blade's damage output. This build focuses on aura farming, boss chasing, and sustained high damage. If you maintain a clean rotation, you can excel as a top-tier dealer in both PvE and PvP. 💥 Boss Destruction: Use the Horizontal Blade as your main weapon to deliver overwhelming DPS to bosses. ✨ Buff Synergy: Utilize the synergy of providing buffs with the Ink Blade and maximizing the Horizontal Blade's damage. 🏆 Top-tier Dealer: Achieve powerful performance in both PvE and PvP with precise rotations.

The Horizontal Blade and Ink Blade DPS build is highly dependent on Inner Forces, so achieving specific ranks is crucial. 'Golden Inner Force' must reach at least Rank 4, and 'Throat Piercing Technique' must reach at least Rank 5 to gain core damage increase effects. For equipment sets, we recommend the 'Hao Wing' set, which is useful for all DPS builds and automatically provides a 10% damage increase. Armor does not significantly impact DPS, so you can choose 'Eagle Rise' or other sets with good passive stats according to personal preference. 🌟 Core Inner Force: Prioritize securing 'Golden Inner Force' Rank 4 and 'Throat Piercing Technique' Rank 5. 🛡️ Recommended Equipment: Equip the 'Hao Wing' set, which provides a 10% damage increase effect. 📊 Stat Focus: Invest heavily in attack-related stats such as Physical Attack, Precision, Stone Shattering Attack, and Physical Penetration.

The optimal combo rotation for the Horizontal Blade and Ink Blade combination is as follows: First, use 'Flowing Mystic Skill,' then switch to Ink Blade to gain a damage buff with its special skill, and tap the Ink Blade martial arts skill twice for quick damage. Immediately switch to Horizontal Blade to perform 'Various Combos,' apply debuffs with the Horizontal Blade's special skill and martial arts skill, then perform 'Various Combos' three more times. Finally, finish with 'Emergency Spin' and switch back to Ink Blade to repeat the rotation. 🚀 Opening Combo: 'Flowing Mystic Skill' → Ink Blade Special Skill (buff) → Ink Blade Martial Arts Skill (2 times). 🔄 Horizontal Blade Switch: Switch to Horizontal Blade, then 'Various Combos' → Horizontal Blade Special Skill → Horizontal Blade Martial Arts Skill (debuff). 🎯 Finish and Repeat: 'Various Combos' (3 times) → 'Emergency Spin' → Switch to Ink Blade to repeat the rotation.
