Control/BuffImportant Notes
- •Talismans (items with 帖 or 符 in Chinese) are crafted consumables, NOT martial arts.
- •"逐狼心经" exists as both Universal (Evening Snow) and Weapon-Specific (Wolfchaser's Art) versions with different effects.
- •Skill effects like "惊神" (Jingshen), "九枪" (Jiuqiang), "幻鸣" (Huanming), "易伤" (Yishang) are buff/debuff mechanics, not standalone martial arts.
- •Some martial arts share the same English name (e.g., Star Reacher for 扶摇直上/纵地摘星/擒天势) as they have similar effects.
English names are from the official game. Unconfirmed translations are based on literal meaning.
