Benedictions function like weapon upgrade slots inWuchang: Fallen Feathers. As you progress your journey and defeat powerful enemies, or uncover hidden treasures, you’ll unlock Benedictions. These upgrades are used to not only improve your combat prowess, but they can improve your combos, spellcasting, and so much more as well, giving you a much-needed edge over your enemies.
But, how exactly do Benedictions work, and which ones are right for each weapon? In this guide, we’re going to breakdown some important early-game Benedictions and where to slot them, as well as the overall system for how Benedictions function in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers.
This guide is a work-in-progress. We will continue to update with Benedictions and powerful weapon combinations.
What Are Benedictions?
In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers,Benedictions are powerful weapon upgrade toolsthat you may attach to each weapon.
When you attach a Benediction to a certain weapon,you gain the chosen Benediction benefit while using said weapon. This can help improve your build in a number of ways.
Create Weapon Synergy
Many different Benedictionscreate unique synergies with weapons.
For example, if you have a skill equipped on a weapon that improves the power of your Skyborn Might, a Benediction that also improves Skyborn Might will stack nicely.
Round Out Weak Spots
If you need to use a weapon whose corresponding skill tree you haven’t upgraded yet, you canuse Benedictions to round out weak spots in your skill tree.
For example, some Benedictions increase the potency of clashes or blocks.
Improve Attack Prowess
Generally speaking,Benedictions are great for increasing your overall attack power, particularly when it comes to Skyborn Might.
You will typicallyearn a Benediction after defeating a special enemy or an area’s boss.
However, youcan occasionally find Benedictions in chest throughout the open world. However, these are also typically guarded by powerful enemies.
How To Use Benedictions
To use Benedictions,you must first visit a Shrine.
Unlike pendants or other buffs,you cannot switch Benedictions unless you offer prayers to a Shrine. So, make sure you have the right Benedictions equipped before venturing out into the open world.
Once at a Shrine, simplypray and toggle to the ‘Benedictions’ menu. Here, you’ll be able to see your weapons and which Benedictions you have socketed.
There arethree types of Benedictionsyou can slot:
Ultimately, the purpose of these slots is tolimit the amount of Benedictions you can have on each weapon.
You can only use each Benediction once, meaningyou cannot have the same Benediction socketed onto multiple weapons.
Once you’re in the Benediction menu,simply select the weapon you wantto equip Benedictions for, andthen add Benedictionsto each corresponding slot.
It’s a good idea tohave at least one Benediction slotted on each weapon.
That way,if you decide to switch weaponsout in the field, and you find yourself too far away from a Shrine,you’ll still have some perks ascribed to each weapon.
