Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Guide | Best Early-to-Mid Game Gear

Learn where to find each set, why it's successful, and how it changes the way battle is played in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty with this concise guide that emphasizes the most reliable early- to mid-game gear. 

The focus here is on gear that improves your chances of survival and Spirit management, so you can level up faster and take on more challenging chapters.

General of Man set & Great Club of Polaris

The General of Man set is one of the strongest light-armor options available very early, and the paired Great Club of Polaris drops from the final boss in the Village of Calamity. 

Wearing four pieces activates Berserker Might, which increases damage on successful deflects while simultaneously rising damage received; hence, it is necessary to strike a balance between the two. 

However, equipping the majority of the pieces offers the set bonus Yellow Heaven Must Rise, which increases Spirit gain and damage. The set's lightweight nature results in an A rating in Agility, which, in turn, reduces the cost of Spirit in martial arts and improves the timing of dodges and deflects. 

At the same time, the Great Club of Polaris offers a long-range boulder-style AOE attack that shreds enemy parts and reduces Spirit.

Chivalrous Swordsman Dual Swords — fastest early DPS

The Chivalrous Swordsman Dual Swords are most definitely among the fastest weapons in the game and can carry a build through much of the mid-game. 

Obtain them as a guaranteed drop in certain dungeon runs or buy variants from blacksmith/hidden vendors when available; higher-star variants appear in accolade rewards. 

One martial art to prioritize on this weapon is Beoning Pine (the slide-then-spin move) because it includes built-in invulnerability frames and high Spirit damage, making it ideal for breaking enemy Spirit quickly and applying status. Dual swords pair exceptionally well with light armor sets for relentless pressure and Spirit generation.

Companions and the Unscrupulous Hero set

The ability to acquire high-star gear can be obtained by recruiting companions at important flags beginning with Chapter 2 and continuing beyond. When a friend reaches Oath Level 10 and becomes a sworn brother, they may occasionally present the companion with guaranteed four-star armor, weapons, and trinkets. 

The Unscrupulous Hero set is really an early standout, featuring a four-piece armor set, a weapon, and a trinket. Additionally, the set's advantages include the ability to mark nearby flags on the minimap and to impose slow and Spirit vulnerability on martial arts hits, which accelerate both exploration and Spirit depletion. Companionship awards can be used to reduce random number generation and to fill defensive gaps.

Armor of Boldness & Unparalleled Spear

The Armor of Boldness (Boldness set) and its matching spear reward from raising Oath with Zhao Yun deliver a smooth balance of protection and mobility. The great reach of the spear, combined with the unique Whistling Vortex technique, allows for safe poke windows and wide coverage, which are both necessary for crowd control. 

The Dauntless Warrior (or Dawnless Warrior–named versions) enhancements that are available in the Boldness set give a risk-free alternative to the Berserker-style sacrifices that are associated with lighter sets. 

These boosts increase spear damage and grants great power increases on deflects. When aiming for a midweight loadout without significant stamina or mobility loss, this combination is an ideal choice.

Quick trinket trick and farming tip

By feeding them an item, small pandas discovered during missions or in the Hidden Village can transform undesired items into trinkets with a star value equal to the item. 

The sacrifice of duplicate high-star gear to obtain random trinkets of the same rarity is a handy approach for farming high-star trinkets when drops are unlucky. It is necessary to repeat the transaction as many times as necessary until a useful statistic appears.
