Understanding Feathering in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Explained

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers introduces players to a complex array of terminology and systems. Gamers will encounter various elements such as Bamboozlings, Benedictions, and Disciplines designed to enhance their weaponry. Additionally, they must familiarize themselves with a unique damage type known as Feathering.

The term Feathering in WUCHANG signifies not only the disease that has plagued the land of Shu—transforming its populace into formidable and violent creatures—but also a specific damage category that players can inflict on their enemies. This guide aims to clarify the concept of Feathering in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers.

Understanding Feathering in WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers

In WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers, Feathering refers to both a disease affecting humanity and a critical game mechanic. This includes a special Feathering stat alongside other attributes like Strength, Agility, and Vitality. In this context, Feathering acts similarly to the Magic stat, albeit with distinct functionalities.

Essentially, a higher Feathering stat significantly boosts the damage output of spells and weapons designed to utilize Feathering damage. Conversely, increasing your Feathering Mitigation stat will reduce the Feathering damage you receive from adversaries and formidable bosses.

Feathering damage synergizes particularly well with players using One-Handed Swords. These weapons not only enhance spell utilization but also expedite the charging of the Skyborn Might necessary for casting. Additionally, the One-Handed Sword’s progression within the Impetus Repository offers multiple nodes that improve your Feathering stat.

Nonetheless, players can effectively enhance their Feathering stat while pursuing other weapons in the Impetus Repository, particularly if they leverage Tempering—the system that allows for modification of your weapon’s damage types.
