Where Winds Meet features a unique movement system called Lightness Skills, which allow players to perform advanced aerial maneuvers, including flight. The Wind Rider is one such powerful Lightness Mystic Skills, specializing in soaring through the air with agility and speed. Unlocking and mastering this skill transforms travel and combat by adding verticality and air mobility to the gameplay experience.
How to unlock the Wind Rider skill in Where Winds Meet
The Wind Rider unlocks once the player reaches Qinghe Exploration Level 6, which requires accumulating 9000 Exploration Points in that region.
These points are earned by exploring the world - completing quests, capturing waypoints, and discovering oddities.
Access the Exploration Level and points through the in-game Journal menu under the Exploration tab.
How to use the Wind Rider skill
Once unlocked and equipped, Wind Rider lets you perform aerial dashing and extended flight by holding the jump key (space). This skill functions as a high-mobility aerial dash enabling faster traversal across landscapes and quick repositioning during combat.
Usage tips:
- Hold the jump key to launch into the air and sustain flight with controlled dashing.
- Combine Wind Rider with other Mystic Arts or internal combat moves (such as air slams or jump kicks) to maximize damage and crowd control.
- Flight and Lightness Skills require separate unlocks in each game region, so repeat exploration in new regions to access these abilities there.
- Be aware that flight can skip ground-based exploration spots, so balance flying and walking to maximize discovery.
How to upgrade and integrate Wind Rider into gameplay
Upgrading Wind Rider involves progressing through its breakthrough tiers by investing vitality and meeting cooldown reductions, increasing skill efficiency. Integrate it by pairing with offensive Mystic Arts that leverage aerial momentum for powerful ground or air attacks.
