How Bitter Seasons Works:

Bitter Seasons is a universal passive skill in where winds meet that works with any weapon. Its unique poison debuff stacking and armor shredding qualities make it situational. It is particularly useful against bosses with high HP or high armor, as it helps to reduce their defenses, allowing you to deal more damage. The Tier 2 upgrade grants Precision Rate based on your solo level, which is beneficial for builds reliant on affinity or critical hits, as Precision Hits are required to land critical hits. This makes it an accessible early-game stat modifier.

Bitter Seasons Tiers:

  • Tier 1: Increases the Physical Defense reduction of each Poison stack to 1.2%.
  • Tier 2: Increases Precision Rate based on solo level.
  • Tier 3: When attacked, there is a 10% chance to apply one Poison Stack to the attacker.
  • Tier 4: Increases the chance to apply poison when dealing damage to 15%.
  • Tier 5: Increases Physical Damage Bonus by 2.5%.
  • Tier 6: At 5 stacks, the poison also reduced the target’s Physical Resistance by 10.

Bitter Seasons excels at increasing armor shred, damage bonuses, and poison application. It pairs well with fast-attacking weapons like Dual Blades, especially with the Flamelash stance, and can also benefit Ranged DPS builds with their rapid light attacks. The Strategic Sword can also enhance bleed damage and burst, though it is not essential.

Tips
  • Consider Bitter Seasons for boss fights where high armor is a significant obstacle.
  • The Precision Rate bonus from Tier 2 can be crucial for critical hit-focused builds.
  • Dual Blades and Ranged DPS builds can effectively utilize the stacking poison and armor shred effects.
