Seasonal Edge is an Inner Way in Where Winds Meet that you’ll likely miss early because the NPC who sells it doesn’t appear on the map, and the game gives vague hints on where to look. But this Inner Way is worth getting, as it’s a universal offensive buff engine that works with every build and becomes extremely powerful once you upgrade it to higher breakthrough tiers. Here’s how to unlock Seasonal Edge in Where Winds Meet, all its effects, and the breakthrough tier stats.
How to Get Seasonal Edge in Where Winds Meet
To obtain Seasonal Edge Inner Way, you need to buy all Seasonal Edge Pages from Cao Sheng in the Fairgrounds, located at the eastern end of Kaifeng City. Fast travel to the Grand Imperial Temple landmark and walk southeast to find him in his calligraphy and painting shop.
Cao Sheng sells every page of the Seasonal Edge tome for 500 Echo Jade each. Talk to him, choose the ‘Ask about a special treasure‘ option when prompted, and buy all 10 Seasonal Edge: Pages he has in stock at a total cost of 5,000 Echo Jades. After you have all copies, the game combines them into the Seasonal Edge: Tome, which unlocks the Seasonal Edge Inner Way.
Seasonal Edge Effects Explained
Seasonal Edge activates every time you use a Dual-Weapon Skill and grants one random offensive buff out of four available. This makes it a solid martial arts ability for fast weapon sets like dual swords, daggers, or any aggressive kit where you often cycle skills.
The possible buffs are:
- Heart of Four Seasons – +8% Crit Rate
- Will of Four Seasons – +4% Affinity Rate
- Wound of Four Seasons – +8% Physical Damage Bonus
- Sound of Four Seasons – +8% All Attribute Attack Bonus
Because it’s a General Inner Way with no path restriction, you can equip it into any build—martial, elemental, hybrid, strength-based, it doesn’t matter.
Breakthrough Tier Bonuses
| Tier | Breakthrough Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Increases the duration of all Seasonal Edge bonus attributes to 12 seconds. |
| 2 | Increases Physical Attack based on Solo Mode Level. |
| 3 | 20% chance to gain two random bonuses instead of one. |
| 4 | Reduces cooldown by 5 seconds (can only activate once every 25 seconds). |
| 5 | Adds +2.8% Physical Damage Bonus. |
| 6 | 15% chance to gain three bonuses and 5% chance to gain all four simultaneously. |
How to Upgrade Seasonal Edge Inner Way
To upgrade this Internal Arts, your character needs Solo Mode Level 4 (Roaming Lv. 4) and Seasonal Edge: Notes (upgrade materials). Notes can be earned through Tips Exchange, Open World Exploration rewards, and side content that drops Internal Art Notes. Once you have the required materials, upgrade Seasonal Edge in your Inner Way menu to level up its breakthrough tiers, which increase its slots to use multiple buffs at once and give extra bonuses.
