Short on Echo Beads for the matching gauntlet look or Battle Pass? Where Winds Meet top-up on BitTopup only needs your Character ID.
Po Zhu · Zun Snapshot (August 2026)
Updated on 2026-08-19: CN debut 2026-08-14. Live kit, gauge numbers, and training-dummy DPS from a maxed CN loadout. Global timing still open.
Slot | Pick | Why it stays |
|---|
School | Po Zhu · Zun (破竹·樽) | One drunken resource feeds both weapons |
Fist martial art | Suspended Body Fist / 悬身拳法 | Gauntlets. Feints, guard breaks, executions |
Blade martial art | Water-Cutting Dual Blades / 断水双诀 | Hold-slash pressure, eight-wave burst |
Resource | Drunken Gauge (狂饮值) | Stand-drink or drink between hits. Spends Stamina |
Light state | Light Drunk / 酩酊·浅醉 | Tracks wobble. Follow-ups unlock |
Peak state | Heavy Drunk / 酩酊·浓醺 | +60% hold-slash speed, 4-hit frenzy, 8 blade waves |
Role | Melee DPS | CN Martial Arts menu tags the fist path as 近战输出 |
Pair both arts on one bar. A parked gourd leaves you on the sober kit.
Fist kit baits. Blade kit cashes the meter.
Yuen Woo-ping's team signed the motion work. Treat every stumble as a cancel window.
Drunken Gauge and Drink Cancels
Hold Heavy Attack on the fist stance to drink. The gourd fills Drunken Gauge and burns Stamina. You can also sip between lights. Both paths stack the same meter: Sober → Light Drunk → Heavy Drunk.
State | What you see | What you gain |
|---|
Sober | Clean steps | Fast links. No drunk follow-ups |
Light Drunk | Sway, Deep Drinking Mark | Heavy follow-ups. Q+Q+R blade chain. Falcon Strike window |
Heavy Drunk | Gourd x2 / frenzy | 4-hit heavy, 8 mid-air blade waves, execution range |
Gauge income that actually moves the bar:
Fist Heavy hold-drink (Stamina tax)
Perfect Timing Quick Drink after a skill: Falcon Strike +25 Gauge
Dual Blades special dash that tags the first body: +40 Gauge
Light-attack gaps if you refuse to stand still
Drink on a cooldown hole or a stagger. A sip that clips your own slash dumps the combo clock. Light Drunk is the floor you hold. Heavy Drunk is the 1.5-second window you spend, then you rebuild.
Dual Blades Kit: Water-Cutting Dual Blades
Water-Cutting Dual Blades (断水双诀) is the fast half. Official copy calls the charged heavy Shared Goblet of Life and Death (死生同樽): the slashes stack tempo the longer you hold. The special is Jade Blood Welcome (碧血为迎).
Input | Sober | Light / Heavy Drunk |
|---|
Hold Heavy | High-speed slash up to 1.5s, spin, two finishers | Same string, advance while slashing, up to +60% speed |
Martial Art Q | Leap up-slash, then mid-air slam | Q+Q+R heavy follow-ups unlock |
Special | Dash pierce on the first target, +40 Gauge | Charge, dash, 8 mid-air blade waves, dash finisher |
Aerial start | Triple spin, launch, blades into the floor | Chase forward or back-cut after the slam |
Open the string in this order.
Tag one body with the special dash. Bank +40 Gauge.
Hold Heavy through the 1.5s window. Release into the spin.
If the gourd is already Light Drunk, fire Q then Q then R before the state drops.
Skill names that show on the CN dummy log: 青身锋刃 / 寄身锋刃, 易水歌, 碧血为迎.
Fist Kit: Suspended Body Fist
Suspended Body Fist (悬身拳法) is the gauntlet half. Official lore tracks it to Gao Siji: drink, then walk through a kill zone. The Martial Arts pane lists it as melee DPS on gauntlets, talent near 98% on a version-peak CN character.
Move | What it does |
|---|
Hold Heavy | Drink. Build Gauge. Spend Stamina |
Martial Art, cast 1 | Shoulder tackle. Reads as a stumble |
Martial Art, cast 2 | 2-hit kick. Light Drunk upgrades this to a 4-hit kick |
Heavy Drunk Heavy | Drunken Frenzy: 4-hit heavy assault |
Special: Finger Thrust | Mid damage. Breaks Guard |
Special: Sliding Assault | Rise from the recline. 4-hit kick |
Light the Lamp While Drunk / 醉里挑灯 | Flip, lie down, bait. Ground kick or finger poke if they bite |
Perfect Timing Quick Drink | Falcon Strike. +25 Gauge |
Execution | 手甲·处决. Cinematic finish once the posture bar dies |
The lie-down is a trap. If they swing, you kick along the dirt or stand into the finger thrust and crack their guard. Heavy Drunk ends on one drop punch that puts them on the floor.
Dummy logs that fire on this half: 醉里挑灯, 抛杯连环 / 挑杯连环, 长鲸吸川, 雁山.
How to Run the Basic Rotation
CN training dummy (Sword Trial Leader, Lv.100) on a version-peak kit held ~35k–51k DPS and cleared ~3.0 million total in about a minute. Those numbers move when Everstone patches the school. Use the order, not the score.
Open on fists. Hold-drink or Quick Drink until Light Drunk. Deep Drinking Mark should be up.
Swap to Dual Blades. Special dash the dummy for +40 Gauge.
Hold Heavy for the full 1.5s. Take the spin finishers.
Q up-slash, mid-air slam, then the drunk R follow-up.
If the gourd hits Heavy Drunk, dump Jade Blood Welcome (8 waves) or the fist 4-hit frenzy. Do not sit in Heavy Drunk after the burst.
Sip in the next cooldown hole. Repeat from Light Drunk.
Top dummy contributors on that CN run:
Keep Heavenwill Gauntlets from Hidden Mountain if you still farm Mohist Hill. Po Zhu · Zun sits beside Bamboocut: Kite. Slot both if your Path still wants fists.

FAQ
Is Po Zhu · Zun on global yet?
CN opened the school on 14 August 2026. Global already has the 2.0 Hidden Mountain weapons. This page tracks CN numbers first and adds the global date when Everstone posts it.
Do I need both fist and Dual Blades?
Yes. One Drunken Gauge feeds both. Fists build and bait. Blades spend. A blades-only bar skips the drink cancel and the guard break.
How do I build Drunken Gauge without standing still?
Sip between lights, land the Dual Blades first-hit dash for +40, and hit Perfect Timing Quick Drink for Falcon Strike and +25. Hold-drink only when Stamina and the enemy both give you the second.
Is this pay-to-win?
Combat is free. Echo Beads buy looks and passes. Official store pages still sell the game as cosmetics-first. See the Echo Beads recharge guide before you pick a pack.
What happened to 藏锋志?
Everstone pulled the multiplayer PvE mode the same week the school shipped. They want more balance time. The school that went live on Friday is the launch kit.
Conclusion
Where Winds Meet Drunken Fist Dual Blades is a two-weapon school: drink on fists, cash on blades, and treat Heavy Drunk as a burst you spend. Bookmark the tables. We update them when the gauge, the CN dummy scores, or the global launch date move. When you buy the matching look, recharge Echo Beads on BitTopup Where Winds Meet top-up.
