Getting the Baishan Stormswords
Defeat Yubi, No. 21 Swordfighter Puppet, at the Training Grounds in the Mandate Encampment region. IGN's weapons table gives the unlock requirement as "Defeat Yubi, No. 21 Swordfighter Puppet", and the weapon is only awarded when that fight is won. Guides place the fight behind the "Secrets of the Baishan Sect" steps, including the Wu Lengshuang encounter, so it is a quest-locked boss rather than one you can walk into. Its in-game Chinese name is 白山风雷剑.
It counts as a Dual-Wield Blade on the Blade roster, the boss list has Yubi under Mandate Encampment, and the puppet boss page has him among the Four Great Puppets.
What it does in a fight
The launch-build figures, current as of 2026-11-05:
| Level 1 | |
|---|---|
| Damage | 312 |
| Status effect | 142 |
Its second stat is status effect rather than guard break, and it is the pair of swords that split the two halves of the Baishan Sect style between them. Square hits fill the [Wind Gauge] into a Wind Sword, triangle hits fill the [Thunder Gauge] into a Thunder Sword, and the Thunder Sword's triangle attacks inflict Lightning buildup and cause Paralysis.
Holding both swords at once opens [Baishan's Blessing] for 20 seconds with Attack raised; when the state ends both swords disappear. While the blessing is active, L1 plus triangle unleashes a [Lightning Storm].
Moves: Standard Combo (four square attacks that fill the Wind Gauge) and Sha-Chi Combo (four triangle attacks, which can be unleashed after any swing of a standard combo and hit harder once Sha-Chi is full). The Power Surge is Baishan Wind-Thunder Slash — L2, 1 Sha-Chi Essence, a wind-guided, thunder-edged slash series that cannot be blocked.
Taking it to level 30
| Level | Perk |
|---|---|
| Lv. 5 | Centered Breath |
| Lv. 10 | Elemental Confluence Lv. 1 |
| Lv. 15 | Wind Infusion |
| Lv. 20 | Elemental Confluence Lv. 2 |
| Lv. 25 | Baishan's Divine Favor |
| Lv. 30 | Elemental Confluence Lv. 3 |
The published perk list names the unlocks but not what each one changes, so read the effect on the upgrade screen before you spend.
What the upgrade ladder costs
Levels are bought at any bell and cost Remnant Dust plus the dual-wield material chain:
| Metal | Solvent |
|---|---|
| Twinned Metal | Solvent |
| Polished Twinned Metal | Concentrated Solvent |
| Flawless Twinned Metal | Universal Solvent |
The published figures for this Blade give no per-band Remnant Dust price and no level 60 stat row, so read the dust cost of each step off the upgrade screen in-game. Sources also disagree on the cap itself: general weapon upgrade guides put it at level 30, while the community database's own upgrade table runs a 59-step ladder to level 60.
Soul Tempering
Unending Storm — a Baishan Headband and 5,000 Remnant Dust. The tempered version of the Lightning Storm pulls enemies in and builds Wind and Thunder gauge on every hit, which is what turns the burst into a crowd tool. Soul Tempering unlocks at Chapter 4 and happens at Myst in the Order's underground tavern in Pangzhen, and it cannot be undone.
