Official in-game grade
Tier 6of 9 · Mid grade (Tier 5-6)
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
Jade-Maiden Sect palm teaching and high-dexterity routes.
When to use it
Use Small Nine-Heaven Techniques as the palm core of a Jade-Maiden build. It punishes slow opponents and fragile positioning, rewarding precise, graceful play over brute force.
Beginner note
Note that Jade-Maiden Sect has no sword line — this is a palm art despite older labels. Build your True Qi around it first, then add finger pressure once spacing is reliable.

Is this a sword art?
No. Despite the internal id, it is a Jade-Maiden palm route; the sect is palm, finger, and footwork, with no sword line.
Is it beginner-friendly?
It is precise and unforgiving of bad positioning, so it suits players ready to manage range rather than a blind first run.
