That’s why it’s important to find ways to reduce damage.
So, if you’re wondering the best ways to reduce damage in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, look no further than this guide. Here, we’ll show you how the damage system works in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and how to reduce it using various methods.
How Does Damage Work?
In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, there aretwo main types of damage reductionsyou’ll need to track:
Mitigation
Mitigation refers to physical damageyou can take throughout the world.
This includes things likeslashing, stabbing, fire, or magic damage, which different types of enemies can incur.
Resistance refers to conditionsthat you can encounter throughout your journey.
Conditions include things likeBlight, Burn, Frostbite, or Corruption.
When looking at your equipment on the pause menu,the right-hand side of your screen will show your statsfor both your damage mitigated and condition resistance.
Generally speaking, you’ll want to try toalways have a decently high amount of Mitigation, as most enemies in the game deal damage in this way.
When it comes to reducing damage, either physical or condition-based, you’ll begin to notice as you play thatmost items and equipmentthat reduce damage or mitigate conditionsreduce one or the other, but not both.
This means, typically,either your physical damage or susceptibility to conditions will be heavily reduced, but not both.
Damage reduction is most important in boss battles, so pay attention to the type of damage bosses are dealing and the types of conditions you incur during the battle to better select your armor.
It’s imperative that you find the best way to reduce damagebased on the situation you’re in.
You’ll never be able to be immune to all conditions or damage, so you’ll need toswitch up your loadoutquite frequently to stay alive.
How To Reduce Damage

By using these pieces of equipment and skills, you can pretty competentlytailor your build to reduce specific types of damage, which you should tailor per encounter.
Pendants
Pendants tend to offer broader reductions to damageas a whole, as opposed to reductions to specific types of damage.
However, as you collect pendants, you’ll notice there are a handful that reduce damage across the board. Here aresome examples.
Dracolich Pendant
Slightly reduces all damage taken.
Found in the Red Chest near the start of the Mercury Mines.
Armor
Armor is far and awaythe best way to reduce damage and conditions.
Complete armor sets tend to bevery adept at reducing a specific effect or damage type. Or, you can mix-and-match armor to get a more well-rounded reduction.
In certain areas of the map, like Cloudspire,you’ll incur conditions like Frostbite just by walking around.
In situations like this, you mustequip armor that mitigates conditions, unless you want to be constantly wasting your Mana Potions.
Before heading into a boss encounter or new area, verify youtake the time to switch out your armorto something that’s best suited for the conditions around you.
For example, equippingthe White Spectre Armor set severely reduces Frostbite, making it much easier to navigate areas like Cloudspire.
Consumables
In Wuchang: Fallen Feathers,different consumables can reduce damage. Some of these can prove more haphazard than others, but still useful.
Consumables can be found all over the map, not necessarily in specific locations.
