Vendetta is an Epic Inner Way in Where Winds Meet that you can use for the Bamboocut – Wind martial path. If your build uses rats, fast cuts, and continuous pressure, you should get this Inner Way. It’s the engine for a ruthless, rodent-fueled playstyle with summoned rats that does your dirty work. Here’s how to claim Vendetta Inner Way in Where Winds Meet, all its effects, and breakthrough tier bonuses.
How to Get Vendetta in Where Winds Meet
To unlock Vendetta Inner Way, you need to complete the Jimming Pool: Petalfall Banquet quest of Jinming Pool Lost Chapter. During Shen (Monkey) and You (Chicken) hour, go to North Imperial Garden, located south of Jimming Pool in Kaifeng, and talk to Murong Yuan to start the quest. You can also be directed here by the Wayfarer at Jadewood Court, depending on your progress. If you visit there outside the required hours, you won’t find the events to trigger the quest.
After the conversation with Murong Yuan, invite the envoys to the banquet and speak with them to get teleported to Jimming Pool. After the Petalfall Banquet quest concludes, you will receive the Vendetta Tome. It gives you the core part, but Inner Way can’t be used yet. Like all Inner Ways, Vendetta requires completing its Legacy Clue tasks. Follow all clues to collect the remaining pages and unlock the Internal Art you can equip for now.
Vendetta Inner Way Effects
- Rarity: Epic
- Path: Bamboocut – Wind
- Tags: Martial Arts, Buff, Recovery
- Effect: Guided Blade’s Vendetta Token lasts 5 seconds longer and restores 20 Tokens of Gratitude
This effect keeps your damage loop stable. It gives you a longer buff window and more resources for your rotation, which makes the aggressive Bamboocut – Wind flow an ease. With long token durations and extra recovery, you can stay on the offensive in fights. It works very well with weapons like Infernal Twinblades and Mortal Rope Dart.
Vendetta Breakthrough Tier Bonuses
Upgrading Vendetta unlocks additional effects other than its default effect. You need to reach Solo Mode Level 4 (Level 4 Roaming) and require Vendetta: Notes to level up tiers. You can get Notes from Tips Exchange, seasonal events like Fresh Wind and Fireworks Festival, purchase Inner Way Note Chests from Zhao Feiyan in Kaifeng, or buy from the Season Shop with Jade Fish currency.
Breakthrough Tiers and Bonuses
| Tier | Bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Token of Gratitude recovery speed increased by 30%. |
| 2 | Increases the minimum Bamboocut attack based on Solo Mode Level. |
| 3 | The duration of Mark of Vendetta applied by Pulling Rope, Guiding Blade is extended to 20 seconds, and applies Rat Pursuit for 20 seconds. During this time, 30% of the Rat damage taken from the applier of Rat Pursuit will be dealt again as additional damage. Rat Pursuit cannot have its effect extended by allies. When Pulling Rope, Guiding Blade hits a target afflicted with your Rat Pursuit, it immediately triggers the Rat Pursuit damage and refreshes the effect. |
| 4 | Kindness Tile recovery increased to 50%. Rat summon duration increased to 15s, or 20s when consuming 2 Kindness Tiles. |
| 5 | Increases Bamboocut Penetration by 6 |
| 6 | The duration of Mighty Rats and Charged Stance summoned rats is increased to 15 seconds. When you have 2 Kindness Tiles, consuming all of them increases the duration of Mighty Rats and Charged Stance summoned rats to 20 seconds. When rats attack a target afflicted with your Mark of Vendetta, their damage is additionally increased by 30%, and reduces the target’s healing efficiency by 50%. |
Every tier costs 10 more Notes, so plan upgrades carefully because it gets expensive as you move on. If you want the rat army to hit its full potential, these bonuses turn Vendetta from a solid buff into a build-defining power. On Tier 6, rats become heal-deny murder machines.
