Official in-game grade
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
Common Shaolin Sect teaching and early exchange.
When to use it
Use Shaolin Long Fist when you want a readable early fist route before committing to more technical body or weapon arts.
Beginner note
This is a good first martial art to compare against staff routes: fist combat is simpler to gear, but range mistakes are easier to feel.
Shaolin Long Fist route check
Keep the Chinese name 少林长拳 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.
- External arts need a clear damage window: check whether your movement and defense let you stay close long enough to apply pressure.
- Tier 9 means this is accessible enough to test early, especially when it matches your faction and weapon plan.
- Its starter, melee 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.
