Deploy Formations and Command Your Blades in Combat

Understanding Formations

Your flying swords arrange themselves behind your back in one of three distinct formation styles: Forward Fan (blades spread ahead), Ring (blades circle around you), and Side-blade Fan (blades flank your sides). Each formation affects how your blades attack and defend.

Switch between formations using your keybinds—check the Essentials of Yujian guidebook for your current key configuration.

Deploying and Attacking

Carry up to six swords in your inventory. They automatically deploy and form your chosen arrangement. Once deployed, your blades await your command.

Press the attack key (typically left-click or a bound key) to send your formation at enemies. Your swords will strike in coordinated passes, either piercing through targets or striking repeatedly depending on your targeting style.

Targeting Modes

You have three targeting options: Crosshair Lock (strikes directly under your aim), Auto Targeting (locks onto nearby valid targets), and Spirit Sword Guidance (lets you manually steer blades before locking on). Experiment with each to find your preferred combat style.
