If you've reached the point where normal weapon skills no longer feel enough, this is where the real depth of the game opens up. Where Winds Meet Mystic Arts are not just "extra skills." They decide how you control fights, how fast you move across the world, and whether you dominate PvE mobs or survive PvP pressure.
Most players unlock Mystic Arts randomly, equip whatever looks cool, and then wonder why combat feels inconsistent. This guide is written for players who want clarity.
Below, we'll break down Where Winds Meet Mystic Arts by category, explain how they actually work in real gameplay, and then rank the strongest Mystic Arts based on practical PvE and PvP value, not theory.

Mystic Arts are active abilities that sit alongside your weapon martial arts. You can equip up to four at once, and each one costs Vitality to cast. Unlike weapon skills, Mystic Arts are universal — they work with any build, any weapon, any path. They fall into three main categories:
●Offensive Mystic Arts – Damage, burst, crowd control
●General Mystic Arts – Counters, stealth, utility
●Movement Mystic Arts – Traversal, aerial control, exploration
The real strength of Where Winds Meet Mystic Arts is that many of them are learned through Skill Theft, side quests, puzzles, or observation — not level-ups. If you skip exploration, you miss power.
Below, we will cover all the Mystic Arts for offensive, general and movement categories. Let's check these out.
