Official in-game grade
Tier 8of 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
Ranshan Sect finger and mixed-art study.
When to use it
Use Hooked Claw as the control-oriented hands of a Ranshan hybrid build. Its grip-and-finger pressure supports the faction's tactical identity, giving you a way to disrupt while your scripture engine scales.
Beginner note
It works best as part of a coherent Ranshan plan, not alone. Lean on it for control and setup rather than expecting it to carry damage by itself.

- External arts need a clear damage window: check whether your movement and defense let you stay close long enough to apply pressure.
- Tier 8 means this is accessible enough to test early, especially when it matches your faction and weapon plan.
- Its control, hybrid tags mark it as a more technical pick; learn the supporting system before making it your main plan.
- Ranshan Sect access matters: compare it with the related arts below before spending scarce study time outside your main faction plan.
