Wolfchaser’s Art is an aggressive, combo-driven Inner Way in Where Winds Meet that upgrades your Heavenquaker Spear playstyle by tightening combo requirements and supercharging Sober Sorrow. It transforms successful Bleed management into extra combo counts, letting you trigger and refresh key buffs far more consistently during boss fights.
