Interactive tool
Martial Arts Compare
Compare role, faction, tier, and stat profile across three martial arts.
When side-by-side comparison helps
Use this tool when a build looks good on paper but you are not sure which martial art should become the center of the route. Taiwu arts are hard to compare from names alone because faction access, weapon range, grade, type, tags, and beginner notes all matter at the same time. A side-by-side view makes those tradeoffs visible before you spend scarce study time.
For a first run, compare one safe option, one tempting high-power option, and one utility option. If the safer art supports your current faction, movement answer, and internal art better than the flashy choice, pick the safer route first and save the experiment for a later character.
What to check before studying an art
Do not compare tier alone. A lower-grade art that matches your current weapon range, available training permission, and loadout slots can be more valuable than a rare art that forces you into a second unfinished route. The compare table is meant to make that mismatch obvious before you spend study time.

Tier 7of 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.
