Pozhu Feng — Dual Blades Assassin Complete Guide
Nili Three Defilements (Dual Blades) + Lizi Wandering Dust (Rope Dart) — Shu Shu synergy burst, white blade fury into red blade execute
1. Playstyle Overview & Core Mechanics
1.1 White Blade Fury → Red Blade Burst
Pozhu Feng combines Nili Three Defilements (Dual Blades) + Lizi Wandering Dust (Rope Dart), a high-mobility melee assassin build. The core DPS logic isn't the dual blades themselves, but the "Shu Shu" (Rat Dart) summoned by the Rope Dart. Deploy Shu Shu first, then swap to Dual Blades to trigger its synergy attacks — Shu Shu is the real damage dealer. Combined with the White Blade (fury build) → Red Blade (burst) cycle, it offers high burst with good margin for error.

5. Core Combo Guide
5.1 Standard PvE DPS Rotation
White Blade Fury Phase:
Dual Blades Light×N → Cross Slash×2 (fast fury fill) → Swap to Rope Dart
Deploy Shu Shu + Mark:
Rope Dart deploys Shu Shu → Q (Vendetta) marks boss → Ensure Shu Shu is attached
Red Blade Burst:
Full Fury → Red Blade → Auto (dash cancel 4th hit) → Shu Shu synergy max → Red Blade ends
5.2 Cross Slash Fast Fury Rotation
Cross Slash Fast Fury Loop:
Cross Slash → Cross Slash → Full Fury → Rope Dart Shu Shu + Q mark → Red Blade burst → Loop
Key: Q (Vendetta) MUST hit — Shu Shu damage crashes otherwise
5.3 Red Blade Dash Cancel Loop (Key Technique)
Red Blade Dash Cancel (Core Technique):
Red Blade Hit 1 → Hit 2 → Hit 3 → Dash cancel (reset) → Back to Hit 1 → Loop
NEVER let Hit 4 come out! Its long windup severely tanks Shu Shu proc rate and overall DPS
6. Dungeon Guide — Pozhu Feng Role
Pozhu Feng serves as melee DPS in dungeons. Your core duty is delivering Red Blade burst during safe windows. High mobility lets you reposition quickly, but you're squishy — survival matters. Shu Shu attacks from range, so it deals damage even while you're repositioning.
Jinming Pool — Sleeping Daoist: Key Points
Mobility advantage: Pozhu Feng is extremely mobile — easy to dodge Vine Prison marks. Dash freely during add phase to quickly focus targets.
Shu Shu ranged DPS: Shu Shu attacks from range — even while you're dodging mechanics, it keeps dealing damage. This gives Pozhu Feng solid DPS during mechanic-heavy boss fights.
Red Blade windows: After the boss leap, there are a few seconds of recovery — the perfect Red Blade burst window. Pre-deploy Shu Shu and fill Fury, then dump everything during the recovery.
Jinming Pool — Rong Yuan: Key Points
Efficient barrel carrying: High mobility makes barrel carrying efficient. Dash to distant barrels and carry them out — great for grabbing far ones.
Shield phase burst: Pre-deploy Shu Shu and fill Fury — the instant the shield spawns, dump Red Blade burst to help break it. Shu Shu synergy also damages the shield.
Triple line flexibility: High mobility lets you quickly grab and carry barrels. But don't greed DPS — barrel priority is higher than damage.
7. Advanced Tips & Common Mistakes
1. Shu Shu is the real DPS
Dual Blade auto-attack damage is modest — Shu Shu synergy attacks are the main damage source. Keep Shu Shu attached to the boss at all times; if it drops, reapply immediately. Rope Dart Q (Vendetta) MUST hit or Shu Shu damage plummets.
2. Dash cancel Red Blade 4th hit
Red Blade auto-attack 4th hit has a long windup that wastes DPS time. Dash cancel it to reset the chain back to 1st hit. This dramatically increases Shu Shu proc rate and overall DPS. This is Pozhu Feng's most important mechanic.
3. Cross Slash for fast Fury
Don't just auto-attack during White Blade — Cross Slash is the most efficient fury builder. Two Cross Slashes nearly fill the gauge for Red Blade, then swap to Rope Dart → deploy Shu Shu → Red Blade burst.
4. High mobility but squishy
Pozhu Feng is extremely mobile but very squishy in melee. Don't greed attacks during Red Blade — dodge boss mechanics promptly. Shu Shu attacks from range, so it deals damage even while you reposition.
5. Feisun Set for PvE first
Feisun Set maximizes pure damage — the top pick for PvE speedruns. If attunement is too demanding or you want more margin for error, Yan Gui Set has similar damage with easier gameplay.
