Where Winds Meet: Mingjin Ting Skill Combo Guide

To run the thunder-attuned Mingjin Ting discipline in Where Winds Meet, pair the upward vault of Boshan Quyue with the downward strike of Jueyu Xuanfeng, then immediately dash-cancel the landing animation. This loop provides heavy poise damage, vertical gap-closing, and reliable target lockdown. It serves as a direct offensive replacement for setups affected by damage reductions to Xianzhuo Drunken Fist on the Chinese live servers.

Skill Roles and Trade-offs

Mingjin Ting relies on weapon arts rather than stationary unarmed brawling. Combining Boshan Quyue with Jueyu Xuanfeng balances gap closing and heavy poise breaking, but each ability carries specific resource and animation commitments.

Boshan Quyue: Vertical Control and Spacing

Boshan Quyue launches your character into an upward arcing vault. The rising slash closes distance, lifts lighter humanoids into the air, and naturally avoids low ground-sweep attacks from bosses. It costs a moderate chunk of your stamina pool, so avoid chaining it if your defensive stamina is already depleted.

Jueyu Xuanfeng: Poise Breaking and Execution

Jueyu Xuanfeng acts as the downward finisher. The technique drives your character down in an overhead plunging strike that inflicts thunder-aspected internal injury and high poise damage. Missing this strike or letting the full landing animation play leaves you vulnerable to counterattacks. You must cancel the recovery frames to stay safe.

Step-by-Step Skill Rotation

Execute this sequence to maintain offensive pressure while minimizing counterattack windows:

1. Initiate with Boshan Quyue: Activate the skill from neutral range to close the gap, lift lighter opponents, or leap over ground hazards.
2. Hold at the Apex: Delay standard light attacks briefly at the peak of the vault to keep the launched target locked in hitstun.
3. Plunge with Jueyu Xuanfeng: Trigger Jueyu Xuanfeng directly from the aerial peak to drive downward into the falling enemy for heavy poise damage.
4. Dash-Cancel Immediately: Input a directional dash the moment the weapon strikes the ground to cut the recovery animation and restore your defensive guard.

Performance Settings for Input Timing

Canceling the ground recovery of Jueyu Xuanfeng requires precise input timing right as the hit connects. Heavy lightning particle effects during Mingjin Ting impacts can cause transient frame drops on unoptimized setups. If you experience dropped inputs or inconsistent dash-cancels during particle-heavy encounters, enable DLSS on a Balanced or Quality preset to stabilize your frame pacing.
