A Southeast Asian fighting style that uses two elbow blades to perform quick
combinations.
Originating from a sword dance dedicated to the spirits of the wind, this style's
graceful jumps and whirls make dodging attacks a breeze.
The cyclonic Wind Charmer can initiate a combo; the Wind Sault is perfect for
surprising a foe like a sudden gust; the gale-force Wind Fury unleashes a powerful
strike—all these moves and more allow the fighter to harmonize with the wind,
earning its protection and power.
Style Lesson: Beginner
Rush Your Opponent
A good opening attack is to charge in with a Rapid Espada ~ Wind Charmer
(AABA2_8) followed by a Kali Rush (during Wind Charmer AKA). The flurry of fast attacks ends with a low attack, making it effective
at dealing damage to your opponent. Once you're used to that combination, try
transitioning into a Turning Kali Strikes (during Wind Charmer AB) - The final
hit is a middle attack, and if you mix it up with Kali Rush (during Wind Charmer AKA), you can confuse your
opponent.

Unleash a Flurry of Attacks from a Distance
A won't land if you're too far away, so use Mirror Fan Strikes (6AA)
instead, because it has better reach. After the second hit, press 2 or 8 to
perform a Wind Charmer. You can use the same offensive strategy as with AA.
Alternatively, the long-range and versatile Air Blade Thrust (6BB) is both
simple and easy to use. Holding the second command results in a break attack
effective against reversal edges.

Use Charge Attacks and Special Movements to Get Close
if you are too far for a Mirror Fan Strikes (6A), surprise your opponent with a
charge. The Flowing Gale Hook (33_66_99A) is a horizontal
attack with a long reach, and you can move into a Wind Charmer with it by
pressing 2 or 8. The Paayon Thrust (33_66_99B) is a high
attack that is difficult to counter and lets you quickly get in close.

Attack While Facing Away
The moves Weather Vane Buster (AAA) and Razor Storm (3A) leave you
facing away from your opponent. However, you can still go on the offensive and
pressure your opponent with moves like the combo-starter Baraw Punch Turn
(while facing away B); the Ice Wind Combo (while facing away AAB),
which can be canceled to throw your opponent off guard; and the Olisi Turn
(while facing away A+B), which will allow you to initiate your next move before
your opponent.

Style Lesson: Master
Prevent Your Opponent from Using High Attacks
If you want to be able to move freely and get past your opponent's guard, you
need to stop your opponent's high attacks first. Twin Baraw Lift (1A+B) and
Blade Cyclone (22_88A) can get past high attacks quite easily, so use
them frequently to make your opponent think twice about going high.
When adjacent to your opponent, use a Tuhod Slicer (2A) to end in a
crouching position, and then follow up with a Rising Baraw (while crouching
3BB). The second strike is delayed, which makes it useful for punishing an
opponent's attempt to counter.

Use Wind Fury for High Damage
This fighting style utilizes a lot of quick attacks that do light damage, meaning it
an be easy for your opponent to suddenly get the upper hand with a damaging
move. If you want to deal a lot of damage yourself, use the special stance Wind
Fury. The low attack Swooping Blade (during Wind Fury A) creates opportunities
or a follow-up attack, and the middle attack Panay Hurricane (during Wind Fury
BB) deals a lot of damage. The Panay Hurricane works well against an
opponent whose guard is on the verge of being crushed. If you successfully crush
their guard with the first hit, the second will become a lethal hit. Not only can you
deal a large amount of damage, you can also transition into follow-up attacks,
turning the tide of battle in your favor.

Recover Health As You Attack with Wind Bearer
By performing certain actions, you can channel the essence of the wind and
activate the Wind Bearer state. While in this state, some commands will become
Wind Bearer techniques that allow you to recover your health as you attack.
Effective use of these techniques can help you better contend with opponents
who use high-damaging combos.
Below are a few things to keep in mind when taking advantage of Wind Bearer:
You will recover only a small amount of health when triggering Wind Bearer or at the instant you use a Wind Bearer technique.
Wind Bearer will end if you are downed by an opponent's attack.
Wind Bearer will not carry over into the next battle.
Wind Bearer Techniques
These techniques are crucial tools that you can employ to approach and attack
opponents. Flowing Gale Hook: Mabilis (during Wind Bearer
33_66_99A) and Paayon Thrust: Mabilis (during Wind Bearer
33_66_99B) are particularly effective at closing gaps between you
and the opponent. Blade Cyclone: Mabilis (during Wind Bearer
22_88A) inflicts more stun on opponents compared to its normal
command version, making it a relatively low-risk, viable option.

Properties
A critical edge where you glide through the air. It has a long reach and can evade
low attacks while dealing damage to your opponent. If it strikes an airborne foe, it
will deal additional hits and damage. Lastly, when this move connects, it will
transition into an attack throw that replenishes your health and activates Wind
Bearer.

Tips
Even if your opponent guards against this attack, they cannot counter it, so use it
from medium range to harry your foe. If they try to perform a guard impact against
the 3rd attack, you can use the stick/d-pad after the 2nd attack to switch to a special
movement, which will avoid leaving yourself open. It can also be used in
conjunction with a Blue Sky (236B) to juggle your opponent in the air. Aim
for a Blue Sky when your soul gauge is full.

During a soul charge, you gain access to Tempest Assault (while soul charged
during Wind Charmer ABB) and Arctic Winds (while soul charged during
Wind Charmer AKAA), moves that help you get past an opponent's guard
when using a Wind Charmer. As soon as you activate a soul charge, get in close
and initiate a flurry of attacks.

Enhanced Charge Attacks
During a soul charge, it becomes easier to get close to your opponent. Your main
moves, such as the Changing Winds (during soul charge 33_66_99BB) and Light Breeze (while soul charged during Wind Sault B),
become break attacks, making it easier to maintain an offensive strategy. Use
them to cut the distance between you and your opponent in an instant.

Typhoon Mabilis
A soul attack in which you dance and generate a gust of wind in front of you.
Hitting the opponent draws them in, allowing you to shift to a soul charged state
and quickly engage in close-range combat. Alternatively, you can hold the input
to shift to Wind Fury instead. Holding 4 after inputting the move will change the
position of the gust of wind, allowing you to hit opponents with it at close range
as well.

Using Wind Bearer Techniques
Performing a soul charge or a soul attack will trigger Wind Bearer. While you are
soul charged, you will not lose your Wind Bearer state even if you are downed by
the opponent, which means you can continue to recover health and attempt to
turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Reversal Edge
Take Control of the Battle
Once initiated, press 2, 8, 4, or 6 to perform a special movement in the
corresponding direction. If you're unable to handle your opponent's attacks, use
this tactic to feint and then go on the offensive.
Following Up with A
A horizontal strike that can transition into a special movement. If the strike hits,
a follow-up combo can be unleashed during the movement. If you get a lethal hit,
you can combo with 4 ~ Panay Hurricane (during Wind Fury BB).
Following Up with B
A technique good for starting combos. Stop after the first hit to turn your back to
your opponent, then hit them with K.
Following Up with K
A kick that doesn't do much damage, but can ring out your opponent depending
on your positioning.
Forward Step, Back Step, Side Step
These actions will dodge the opponent's attacks and can shift you into Wind Fury.
