Official in-game grade
Tier 2of 9 · Top grade (Tier 1-2)
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
Swordsmith Villa sword study and forged-weapon routes.
When to use it
Choose Zhanlu Sword Art as the steady core of a Swordsmith Villa build. It scales cleanly with weapon quality and martial investment, rewarding players who keep a strong, current blade and commit to one line.
Beginner note
Its strength tracks your gear, so treat crafting and weapon upkeep as part of the build. Commit to this sword line rather than splitting True Qi across a blade line at the same time.
Zhanlu Sword Art route check
Keep the Chinese name 湛卢剑法 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 2 means this is rare, high-ceiling knowledge; do not rush it unless the rest of the route is already stable.
- Its weapon, crafting tags are the quickest way to decide whether this art belongs in your current route or a later experiment.
- Swordsmith Villa access matters: compare it with the related arts below before spending scarce study time outside your main faction plan.

Is Zhanlu Sword Art beginner-friendly?
Yes, relatively. It is a high-tier, clean-scaling style, and its damage stays reliable as long as your weapon keeps pace.
Sword or blade line at Swordsmith Villa?
Pick one. Zhanlu Sword Art is the steadier choice; the Kunwu Blade Art is heavier. Growing one line beats diluting both.
