Build Planner

What a first build needs to answer

A Taiwu build is easy to overfill because the game constantly offers another manual, teacher, weapon, or stat direction. This planner keeps the draft narrow on purpose: one faction identity, a few core arts, a main stat pressure, and a written note about what the route is supposed to survive.

Before you share or follow a plan, make sure it can explain four things in plain language: where it wants to fight, how it avoids losing control of distance, which internal or support art keeps it stable, and what you will do after the first serious injury. If a build cannot answer those questions, it is probably a collection of attractive parts rather than a route.

This is why the planner asks for tradeoffs instead of only listing favorite arts. A useful plan should expose its weakness early enough that another player can give focused advice, especially when the route depends on faction access, equipment condition, or a narrow Qi loadout.

How to use the result card

• Use it as a checklist before spending scarce study time on side manuals.
• Share it when asking for feedback so other players can see faction, arts, stats, and weaknesses together.
• Revisit it after a patch or failed run and change one assumption at a time.
• Pair it with the Qi Loadout Planner once your martial art list starts outgrowing your slots.
