Data status: The facts on this page were checked against the source named above. Game values can still shift with a patch, so re-check anything that looks off.

The Jade System (your baseline specialisation)

Repaired by Abacus Ruyi at the Four Seasons Pavilion, the Jade System lets you equip Jades at any Root Node. Your Computing Power starts at 2 and reaches 10 via Computing Units. See the Jade CPU guide for budgeting and the best Jades tier list for picks.

Medicine Pipe

Your healing item: 60 HP base heal, upgradable to 120 HP (+7.5 per step from Kuafu using Herb Catalysts), 2 charges base growing to 8 (Pipe Vials). Resting or a Pipe Refill Station refills it. The Medical Jade adds +50% heal over 5s; Quick Dose cuts the animation from 0.85s to 0.51s.

Azure Bow

Kuafu returns the bow at the Four Seasons Pavilion. It fires Azure Sand (capacity 2→5 via three Magazines from Kuafu) and three arrow types, each upgradeable twice (+35% per step) for 6 Dark Steel total:

  • Cloud Piercer — 136 base; piercing beam that breaks shields and staggers.
  • Thunder Buster — 18×12 = 216 base; area explosion over ~2s.
  • Shadow Hunter — 30 per hit; homing, hit count scales with target size.

No Jade boosts the bow; its damage comes only from Kuafu. The bow guide has the full math.

Talisman and spell styles

The Talisman dash deals 32 Internal Damage; detonation converts all Internal to Direct. Three spell styles change only the detonation:

  • Qi Blast (default) — up to 3 Qi; Enhanced drops 1 Azure Sand at 3 Qi.
  • Water Flow — auto-detonates, 2 Qi (Enhanced → 1).
  • Full Control — hold to spend up to 5 Qi; Enhanced 5-Qi detonation adds damage and staggers bosses.

Transmutes

Bought from Kuafu, one active at a time, modifying Talisman kills:

  • Unto Life — restore 15 HP.
  • Unto Wealth — gain 10 Jin.
  • Unto Qi — gain 1 Qi charge.

Computing Units

Found as treasure or bought from Chiyou, each raises Computing Power by 1 (max 10). They are the bottleneck on every Jade build, so prioritise them.

Frequently asked questions

What gear is there besides Jades?

The Medicine Pipe (heal), the Azure Bow (burst ranged), the Talisman and its three spell styles, Transmutes, and Computing Units that raise your Jade budget. Jades specialise the baseline these set.

How do I upgrade the Medicine Pipe?

Kuafu upgrades healing by 7.5 HP per step (60 to 120 base) using Herb Catalysts, and Pipe Vials (3D Printer or world) raise charges from 2 to 8.

Is the Azure Bow worth building?

It is a limited burst tool, not a main damage source: it needs Azure Sand and only Kuafu upgrades it. The 6 Dark Steel in the game exactly fund all three arrows to their second upgrade.
