Lion’s Roar is one of the early Mystic Skills worth unlocking in Where Winds Meet, mainly because it gives you reliable crowd control, steady chip damage, and a defensive buffer that’s useful in both solo play and PvP. Lion’s Roar is locked behind a small puzzle in Qinghe, and if you don’t happen to wander into the bell area, it’s easy to miss for hours. Here’s how to unlock the Lion’s Roar Mystic Art Skill and what makes it so good that you should get it.
Where to Find the Four Copper Bells in Qinghe
Lion’s Roar unlocks once you interact with and ring all four giant copper bells scattered around Qinghe. All bells increase your Lion’s Roar Proficiency until you hit 100%, which automatically gives the skill.
Copper Bell Location #1 — General’s Shrine
The first bell is found on the west side of the General’s Shrine courtyard, right next to the large statue and beside where you learn the Leaping Frog skill.
Copper Bell Location #2 — Hill Beside the General’s Shrine
The second bell is a short climb towards the southwest from the General’s Shrine. Head to the marked location from the shrine, go up the nearby hill, and you’ll find the bell overlooking the area. These two bells are very close to each other, which makes them the quickest to reach and ring.
Copper Bell Location #3 — Northeast Qinghe, Near Bodhi Fort
The third bell is found in the northeastern part of the region, east of Wildmane Ranch. Fast travel to Bodhi Fort, then move east toward the wooded path south of the fort’s walls. Look for a clearing with a single bell standing out among the trees.
Copper Bell Location #4 — Southwest Qinghe, Near Wraith Village
The fourth bell is outside the main Qinghe field towards the southern side, in the abandoned village of the Witherwilds. Fast travel to Wraith Village southwest of Moonveil Mountain and head south into the empty houses, where you can also find Longevity Fruit in one of the buildings. If you finished the Gleaming Abyss quest, you’ve been here before—this bell platform lies between the old wooden structures.
Once all four bells are rung, the skill’s proficiency will reach 100%, and Lion’s Roar will unlock in Where Winds Meet.
Where Winds Meet Lion’s Roar Mystic Skill
Lion’s Roar is an offensive area-debuff skill that slams a massive bell and does a 14-hit roar shockwave. Even at Tier 1, it’s a good mix of AoE pressure and survivability with the damage reduction and Fortitude gain. It’s also a cheap Vitality skill, so it fits easily into early-game builds without having to overinvest in resource stats.
The skill has a secondary benefit: it detonates Toad Venom on affected enemies and spreads it outward so you can chain poison bursts across groups. If you like Stonesplit Path or other close range playstyles, you can use Lion’s Roar as a stabilizer. You can pop it during aggressive trades to survive the day, interrupt enemies, or buy a counterattack window.
Base Effects (Tier 1–4)
- Type: Offensive / Area Debuff
- Tags: Knockback
- Vitality Cost (Tier 4): 30
- Cooldown (Tier 4): 12 seconds
Even without upgrades, the chain hits and knockback give you space against enemies, while the built-in mitigation lets you stay aggressive without getting into danger.
Lion’s Roar Breakthrough Tiers
Every tier improves Lion’s Roar. The bonuses are not cosmetic – each tier affects how the skill performs in PvE and PvP, mostly during extended trades.
Tier 2 — Strong Tenacity While Casting
Casting stability improves, which lets you finish the roar even under pressure. This matters in arenas and boss fights where interruption is normal.
Tier 3 — Silence on Multiple Hits
If the roar hits 5 or more times on a target, they are silenced for 3 seconds. It’s one of the strongest control effects available early in the game and is the main reason Lion’s Roar is good in PvP.
Tier 4 — High Damage Reduction
The defensive part increases from 15% to 40% Damage Reduction during the cast, which turns Lion’s Roar into a defensive tool as much as an offensive one and lets you survive burst windows.
