Long Yin Build Tier List — All 6 Builds Ranked

TIER LIST

All 6 Builds Ranked

Evasion-Combo (闪避连击流) · Internal Damage (内伤流)

Evasion-Combo: fastest early power spike. 30%+ combo + 250%+ dodge = near-untouchable while chain-attacking indefinitely. Internal Damage: pairs with Wudang 太极神功 or Penglai 敲爻歌诀.

Xianxia Sword (仙霞剑修) · Suppress (压制流)

Xianxia: 含光无形剑 + sect skills = high Agility burst, 1vN capable. Suppress (Kongtong): locks enemies out of turns entirely.

True Damage (真伤流) · Combo-Sword · Fist/Palm

True Damage: bypasses defense, high ceiling, complex build. Combo-Sword: pairs with Wudang Taiji Sword (Flowing). Fist: accessible AoE.

Poison (毒王流)

Lower endgame ceiling than S/A builds. Beginner-friendly, defensive, consistent sustained damage.

Healing (疗伤流)

黄帝秘经 (Medicine Valley): outlast enemies via healing. Extremely slow and tedious. Not recommended as primary.

CHEAT SHEET

Weapon-Art Cheat Sheet — Per Build

Quick lookup: pick your build, see the signature weapon arts to chase. Most are skill-based — the skill defines the weapon class.

Build	Weapon Class	Early-Mid Pick	Endgame Pick
Evasion-Combo	Sword (剑)	无影乱剑 + 追魂夺命剑 Purple	Penglai Gold Sword (+Evasive) Orange
Xianxia Sword	Sword (剑)	含光无形剑 (sect) Purple	含光无形剑 mastered + Penglai Gold Sword Red
Internal Damage	Sword / Palm	玄真剑气, 摧心掌 Purple	天遁剑法 Orange + 太极神功/敲爻歌诀
True Damage	Spear / Palm	碧血洗银枪 Purple	天罡雷轰掌, 金刚三昧掌 Red + 三洞灵宝经
Suppress	Any + movement	Basic suppression gear + 斗转星移	Kongtong 斗转星移 + Bone-Break Orange
Poison	Any + 神农本草秘要	Medicine Valley basic poison gear	Medicine Valley endgame poison arts

Gear keyword rules: Evasion → 飘逸. Combo → 舒筋 + 急速. Sword+Combo → 连绵. Suppress → 断骨. ALL gear scales with Internal Power — invest in 内功 regardless of build.

⚠️ Forge your own weapons — dropped weapons in this game are rarely optimal. Self-forging with 150+ Smithing + save-load on keyword rolls is the only path to truly top-tier gear.

BUILD DETAIL · S-TIER

Evasion-Combo (闪避连击流)

The most beginner-friendly S-tier build in Long Yin. Easy to set up, easy to power-spike, comfortable through mid-game. Sect path: Emei (training base) → Thunderclap (forge gear) → Penglai (endgame). 30%+ combo + 250%+ dodge = near-untouchable while chain-attacking indefinitely.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	S — Most beginner-friendly S-tier
Difficulty	★★ — Easy to start, easy to power-spike
Power spike	Early — once you hit 30%+ combo and 250%+ dodge
Core stats	Agility (灵巧) → Meridians (经脉) → Internal (内功)
Weapon class	Sword (剑)
Sect path	Emei → Thunderclap → Penglai
Gear keywords	飘逸 (Evasive) + 舒筋 (Tendon-Ease) + 急速 (Swift)

Without these, the build can't hit the dodge/combo thresholds that make it work.

Talent	Effect	Priority
Unconventional (离经叛道)	Dodge +15%, Recovery −30%	MUST
Hidden Blade (笑里藏刀)	Crit +15%, Suppress −30%	MUST
Land Glide (陆地飞行)	Movement stamina + travel speed	MID-CRITICAL
Riding series (骑术系列)	Combat stamina pool	MID
Heartless (灭心绝情)	Damage +15%	Optional

⚠️ Without Land Glide + Riding, stamina crashes mid-combo chain in mid-game and the build collapses. These two talents are NOT optional past Year 5.

Internal

Early: any → Shaolin 袈裟伏魔功 (20% stun) → 梵文贝叶经 → Emei 三洞灵宝经

The progression is sequential — each step prepares the prerequisites for the next. Don't skip ahead.

Movement

Early: +Dodge basics → Penglai 凌虚飞渡 → Grand Hidden 天人感应步

凌虚飞渡 from Penglai is the single best mid-game movement skill — high dodge + positioning bonus. Plan a Penglai stop in your sect rotation.

Absolutes

Early: +Dodge absolutes → 柔骨摆柳 → Emei 金顶佛光

无影乱剑 + 追魂夺命剑 (+Combo) → Penglai Gold Sword (+Evasive)

⚠️ Self-forge endgame weapons. Dropped weapons in Long Yin are rarely optimal — only self-forging with 150+ Smithing + save-load on keyword rolls yields true top-tier gear.

Gear Forging Workflow (5 Steps)

Raise 1 ally's potential to 70 via friendship — they become your forging assistant.
Equip Thunderclap (霹雳堂) Purple/Gold Absolutes for the +10/+20 smithing boost. (Pass through Thunderclap mid-game just for this.)
Grind Smithing to 150+. Below 150 the keyword roll RNG is too punishing.
Forge with target keyword (飘逸 for Evasive, 舒筋 for Tendon-Ease).
Save before each roll. Reload if keyword quality is below Red. Aim for double-Red.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1-3	Emei (峨眉)	+20% breakthrough on ALL skills (stays after leaving). Recruit Baiyuntian.
Year 4-6	Thunderclap (霹雳堂)	Get +10/+20 smithing absolutes. Forge first set of double-Red Evasive sword + gear.
Year 7+	Penglai (蓬莱)	Pick up 凌虚飞渡 movement and Penglai Gold Sword. Endgame sect.

Mistake	Cost
Skipping Land Glide / Riding talents	Stamina crashes mid-combo chain in mid-game. Build collapses.
Not reaching 250%+ dodge by mid-game	Below 250% you still get hit regularly. Above 250% you become near-untouchable.
Buying drop weapons instead of self-forging	Drops have wrong keywords or low quality. You'll never reach endgame ceiling without self-forging.

BUILD DETAIL · S-TIER

Internal Damage (内伤流)

Internal Damage is the S-tier defensive scaling build. Slower power spike than Evasion-Combo but much higher endgame ceiling. Use Wudang 太极神功 OR Penglai 敲爻歌诀 as your legendary internal. Pair with 道德真经 for damage multiplier. Defensive in midgame, devastating at endgame.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	S — Highest endgame ceiling. Slower spike than Evasion-Combo.
Power spike	Mid-late game once 道德真经 + legendary internal stack
Core stats	Internal (内功) → Meridians (经脉) → Intelligence (智力)
Weapon class	Sword or Palm
Sect path	Emei → Wudang OR Penglai
Gear keywords	Internal-scaling keywords + 灼热 (Burning) for DOT extension

Talent	Effect	Priority
Unconventional (离经叛道)	Dodge +15%, Recovery -30%	MUST
Internal Power +8 (内功+8)	+8 Internal potential cap	MUST
Meridians +8 (经脉+8)	+8 Meridian potential cap	MUST
Intelligence +8 (智力+8)	Mid-game hit rate	REC

Internal

Early: any → Shaolin 袈裟伏魔功 → Wudang 太极神功 OR Penglai 敲爻歌诀

Movement

Early: basic → Penglai 凌虚飞渡 → Wudang 太极轻功

Absolutes

玄真剑气 + 摧心掌 → 天遁剑法

Self-forged sword OR palm-class weapon. Target 道德真经 pairing as your second internal art.

⚠️ Don't try Internal Damage as your first run. The build doesn't power-spike until Year 6+; you'll struggle early-mid game vs Evasion-Combo's instant payoff.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1-3	Emei	+20% breakthrough modifier
Year 4-6	Wudang OR Penglai	Get legendary internal + 道德真经 pairing
Year 7+	Stay or rotate via Grand Hidden	Drain-internal variant if going hybrid

Mistake	Cost
Picking Internal Damage for first run	Slow spike; you'll suffer through 6 years before the build feels good.
Not pairing legendary internal with 道德真经	Damage caps at 60% of potential. The multiplier is mandatory.
Investing in Strength stat	Internal Damage doesn't scale with Strength. Wasted points.

BUILD DETAIL · A-TIER

Xianxia Sword (仙霞剑修)

Xianxia Sword is the A-tier sword DPS build. Defining feature: 含光无形剑 (Pure Light Formless Sword) given at full Xianxia membership — no random-find grind. High Agility scaling for 1vN. Endgame mastery + Penglai Gold Sword pushes the build close to S-tier.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	A — A-tier reliable. 1vN burst is the strongest in the game.
Power spike	Year 4 — once you enter Xianxia and receive 含光无形剑
Core stats	Agility (灵巧) → Sword stat → Intelligence
Weapon class	Sword (剑)
Sect path	Emei → Xianxia → Penglai
Gear keywords	飘逸 (Evasive) + sword-class keywords + 含光 (Pure Light) mod

Talent	Effect	Priority
Hidden Blade (笑里藏刀)	Crit +15%, Suppress -30%	MUST
Agility +8 (灵巧+8)	+8 Agility potential cap	MUST
Sword Talent (剑法天赋)	Sword skill XP +20%	STRONG
Heartless (灭心绝情)	Damage +15%	OPT

Internal

Early: any → Xianxia 玄真剑气 → Penglai 敲爻歌诀 (endgame)

Movement

Early: +Dodge basics → Xianxia 凌波微步 → Grand Hidden 天人感应步

Absolutes

追魂夺命剑 → 含光无形剑 mastered

Sword path. Early: 无影乱剑 + 追魂夺命剑. Endgame: 含光无形剑 mastered + Penglai Gold Sword (forged).

⚠️ Don't try to skip Xianxia. Without sect-given 含光无形剑, you lose 50+ hours of grinding equivalent. Joining Xianxia is non-negotiable.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1-3	Emei	+20% breakthrough, raise Sword to 30+
Year 4-6	Xianxia	Receive 含光无形剑, master sect skills
Year 7+	Penglai	Forge Penglai Gold Sword + 凌虚飞渡 endgame

Mistake	Cost
Skipping Emei training base	Lose +20% breakthrough modifier — late-game caps lower.
Not recruiting 魏胥华	Best sword-build companion. Drop by Xianxia main hall during Year 4.
Stopping Sword stat at 30	30 is entry threshold. Endgame builds need Sword 80+.

BUILD DETAIL · A-TIER

Suppress (压制流)

Suppress is the A-tier lockdown build. Built around Kongtong's 斗转星移 movement skill, which applies suppression states to enemies. Stack Bone-Break (断骨) gear keywords to extend the lockdown. Hardest build to learn (4-star difficulty) but disables endgame bosses entirely.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	A — A-tier when mastered. Hard learning curve.
Power spike	Year 6+ once 斗转星移 + Bone-Break gear unlocked
Core stats	Movement (轻功) → Suppress stat → Intelligence
Weapon class	Any (movement is core)
Sect path	Emei → Kongtong (崆峒, niche)
Gear keywords	断骨 (Bone-Break) + movement-class keywords

Talent	Effect	Priority
Supreme Self (唯我独尊)	Suppress +15%, Counter -30%	MUST
Movement +8 (轻功+8)	+8 Movement potential cap	MUST
Hidden Blade (笑里藏刀)	Crit +15% (for finishing locked enemies)	STRONG

Internal

Early: any → Mid: basic suppress internals → Endgame: Grand Hidden 归墟秘典 (drain pair)

Movement

Early: any → Kongtong 斗转星移 → Mastered 斗转星移 + counter-trigger gear

Absolutes

Mid: stunlock absolutes → Suppress-extension absolutes

Any weapon class — Suppress is movement-based. Bone-Break (断骨) keyword on gear is mandatory for lock extension.

⚠️ Hardest build to learn. Suppress mechanics are not intuitive. Read up on Kongtong 斗转星移 multipliers before committing.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1-3	Emei	+20% breakthrough, level Movement skill
Year 4+	Kongtong (find via map exploration)	Receive 斗转星移, master Suppress
Year 7+	Grand Hidden (optional)	Pair with 归墟秘典 Internal Drain for hybrid

Mistake	Cost
Picking Suppress as first build	Mechanics too complex. Try Evasion-Combo first.
Forgetting Bone-Break gear	Without Bone-Break, suppression lasts 1 turn vs intended 3+.
Investing in Strength/Damage stats	Suppress doesn't scale with damage. Movement and Suppress stats only.

↑ Back to tier list

BUILD DETAIL · B-TIER

True Damage (真伤流)

True Damage is the B-tier defense-bypass build. Damage ignores all armor/internal defense — theoretically the highest ceiling, but requires assembling 4+ rare skills correctly. Emei's 三洞灵宝经 is the legendary internal. Pair with spear (碧血洗银枪) or palm (天罡雷轰掌, 金刚三昧掌) endgame weapons.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	B — B-tier in practice. S-tier in theory if perfectly assembled.
Power spike	Year 8+ once all 4 core skills mastered
Core stats	Internal → Strength → Meridians
Weapon class	Spear or Palm
Sect path	Emei (stay)
Gear keywords	Internal-scaling + 灼热 / 渗透 (Penetrate) keywords

Talent	Effect	Priority
Heartless (灭心绝情)	Damage +15%	MUST
Internal +8 (内功+8)	+8 Internal potential	MUST
Absolutes +8 (绝技+8)	+8 Absolutes potential	MUST
Strength Talents (力道天赋)	Weapon damage scaling	STRONG

Internal

Early: any → Mid: Penglai 蓬莱遁甲 → Emei 三洞灵宝经

Movement

Early: basic → Penglai 凌虚飞渡

Absolutes

天罡雷轰掌 + 金刚三昧掌 (both required for True Damage stacking)

Spear (碧血洗银枪) OR Palm. Pair with 三洞灵宝经 internal for True Damage activation.

⚠️ Most complex build to assemble. Requires 4+ rare skills + Emei + endgame Penglai movement. Plan from Year 1 — improvisation kills this build.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1-8	Emei (stay)	True Damage is Emei native — no need to switch
Year 4-5 visit	Medicine King	Get 神农本草秘要 for +2 Internal potential
Year 6+ visit	Penglai	Pick up 凌虚飞渡 endgame movement

Mistake	Cost
Trying True Damage in first run	Too many moving parts. Pick Evasion-Combo or Internal Damage first.
Missing one of the 4 core skills	True Damage activation requires ALL 4. Missing any = B-tier becomes D-tier.
Switching sects mid-Year-8	Lose Emei's +20% modifier. Plan exits before Year 5.

↑ Back to tier list

BUILD DETAIL · C-TIER

Poison (毒王流)

Poison is the C-tier beginner-friendly build. Lower endgame ceiling than S-tier, but extremely forgiving — Poison DOT applies even when you miss attacks, and stacks across turns. Medicine King is the native sect. Community reports the build is more viable than tier suggests, especially against high-defense bosses.

Aspect	Detail
Tier	C — C-tier ceiling. Beginner-friendly. Community more positive than tier.
Power spike	Year 5+ once poison stacking unlocked
Core stats	Internal → Meridians → Medical
Weapon class	Any + 神农本草秘要
Sect path	Medicine King (stay)
Gear keywords	灼热 (Burning) + poison-class keywords

Talent	Effect	Priority
Heartless (灭心绝情)	Damage +15%	REC
Medical Talent (医术天赋)	Faster Medicine King skill XP	REC
Internal +8 (内功+8)	+8 Internal potential	SOLID

Internal

Early: any → 百草解毒经 → 神农本草秘要

Movement

Early: basic → 百草摘叶步

Absolutes

毒掌 → Medicine King endgame poison absolutes

Any weapon class. Pair with 神农本草秘要 for +2 Poison/Medical/Internal potential. Bring poison-keyword gear for DOT extension.

⚠️ Don't expect S-tier output. Poison is reliable but lower-ceiling. Use it as a comfort build for first run, then move to S-tier in 2nd+ runs.

Phase	Sect	Goal
Year 1+	Medicine King (stay)	Native sect — no need to switch
Year 3-4 visit	Emei (optional)	+20% breakthrough on poison skills

Mistake	Cost
Comparing to S-tier in endgame	Don't. Poison is comfort, not max DPS.
Not stacking poison DOT	Poison stacks; chain attacks to extend duration.
