This is not a completely exhaustive list there are a number of Jianghu styles I don't know the details of (the PV/LMI sets, for instance). Find your favorite style in the list to find out which group you belong to.

Don't try to go hybrid it will not work in the long term.īelow is a list of which styles fall into which groups. You must choose to go either internal or external spreading stats is generally a bad idea, and it will become a much worse idea when meridians are launched in April.

Wanderers are tai chi internal and can't really build for external martial arts. Some schools are pigeon-holed into a particular role for instance, Tangmen are stuck as yin external and really can't use internal styles well. The 20% damage penalty makes off-styles generally undesirable, though some styles are useful for utility even though they deal less damage.Ĭhoosing internal versus external is frequently a matter of preference. If you're a beggar, it means you cannot effectively use Yin styles, and you cannot effectively use Yang styles as a scholar. Yin users can use Yin and Soft styles as well as Tai Chi styles, and Yang users can use Yang, Hard, and Tai Chi styles. Tai Chi users can use all attributes competently (they get a 16% bonus to non-Tai Chi styles and a 20% bonus to Tai Chi). For instance, Beggars are Yang attribute, while Scholars are Yin attribute. Each school has a primary attribute, and this determines which martial arts are effective for that school. These are further subdivided into external styles and internal styles. Martial arts are divided into three attributes: Yin, Yang, and Tai Chi. In fact, your choice of primary martial styles determines what stats you will want, and eventually what meridians you will want. The first misconception everyone has is the blanket answer, 'Oh, you're a beggar, so you want X stats.' This is fundamentally wrong. Instead of spending hours of my time explaining it to people, I can just link it! Even if you think you know what you're doing with your stats, this is a must-read. If I went back through my chat logs, I could probably fill this entire column just by copy-pasting because I've answered this question so many times.įor the first time, this information will be available as a public resource. The answer for this question is anything but simple, and I end up spending hours explaining it to individuals. However, the most common question I answer is 'what stats should I get?' 'Can you annotate my book?' happens rather frequently, too. 'How do you make money?' is a pretty common question, but I think we've answered that. There are a few questions I answer on a very regular basis in Age of Wushu.
