Tier 9of 9 · Accessible (Tier 7-9)

Grade is the martial art's official in-game tier from the Taiwupedia (Tier 1–9). Tier 1 is the rarest with the highest ceiling; Tier 9 is the most basic and widely available. A lower tier number is not automatically better for a first run — access, practice level, and weapon-range fit usually matter more early.

How to obtain

Learn through Shaolin Sect progression, teaching, exchange, or compatible inheritance routes.

When to use it

Pick Shaolin Harmonies Staff as your opening weapon when you want safety through reach. The staff lets you apply pressure from outside punching range, so a first-run Taiwu can learn fight tempo without constantly standing in danger.

Beginner note

Treat its range as the safety net: practice keeping distance and resetting spacing rather than trading blows. Pair it with a defensive body or internal art so a single bad exchange does not snowball into a lost run.

Keep the Chinese name 少林六合棍 visible when comparing this page with Taiwupedia, older Chinese guides, or in-game text. Translation labels can shift, but the Chinese term anchors the entry.

  • Weapon arts should define your preferred range: compare reach, gearing needs, and whether the route stays readable under injury pressure.
  • Tier 9 means this is accessible enough to test early, especially when it matches your faction and weapon plan.
  • Its beginner, steady, orthodox tags make it suitable for a first test route, but only if you keep the rest of the build simple.
  • Shaolin Sect access matters: compare it with the related arts below before spending scarce study time outside your main faction plan.

Shaolin Harmonies Staff FAQ

Is Shaolin Harmonies Staff good for beginners?

Yes. It is one of the most forgiving Shaolin starts because the staff's reach keeps you out of the most dangerous range while you are still learning combat timing.

Should I start with the staff or Shaolin Long Fist?

Start with the staff if you value safety and spacing; start with Long Fist if you prefer simpler close-range fundamentals. Many players learn the staff first and keep a fist art as a fallback.
