In Jianghu 2, swordsmanship has higher burst damage, as well as combo output and control effects. Although there are not many swordsmanship manuals, there are still some powerful ones available for use. Below is the recommendation for the strongest swordsmanship in Jianghu 2. Among the various swordsmanship manuals, the combination currently considered the strongest and most worthy of players' use is the two golden swordsmanship manuals "Thousand Streams Startling Goose" and "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash", supplemented by purple and blue auxiliary swordsmanship and replenishing true qi, control mind techniques, forming a powerful system with both burst and sustained damage.
Core Swordsmanship:
"Thousand Streams Startling Goose," as a representative of golden swordsmanship, is a hidden swordsmanship. It can be obtained by solving puzzles and searching for clues in the secret dungeon of the General's Tomb on Yiqi Island, or by choosing a more conservative method to exchange at the Unnight Capital Sect. This swordsmanship has a rapid attack speed and extremely strong burst, making it the core move for the output style. The other golden manual, "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash," is equally outstanding. Although its acquisition requires completing specific side quests or solving puzzles, its high damage and area coverage make it a killer move in combat.
Auxiliary Swordsmanship:
Besides the two main golden manuals, relying solely on golden swordsmanship can easily lead to insufficient true qi or skill interruptions. Therefore, it is very important to equip purple and blue manuals as auxiliaries. Some high-cost-effective auxiliary swordsmanships include:
Mighty Star Shaking Sun (Purple): Located in Xiaoshi Town at coordinates (855, 1575), it can be obtained by choosing to spare the bandits or by inquiring during the main quest;
Supreme Supreme Dao (Purple): Can be obtained through sect exchanges at Qingyu Sect, with notable practical effects but slightly higher acquisition conditions;
Moon Crossing the Mountain (Blue): Obtainable after defeating the opponent in the arena at coordinates (855, 1575), with good coverage ability;
Divine Blade Ghost Edict (Blue): Acquired after defeating Yan Qiao at coordinates (220, 660), featuring blood-sucking and health regeneration mechanisms, which can increase endurance;
Heavenly Pole Extreme Blade (Green): Obtained through inquiries, serving as an entry-level basic swordsmanship;
Hundred Varieties Blade (Green/White Rank): Obtainable by completing specific choices in the Hongyue Sect side story, acting as an early supplementary spell;
Heavenly Subduing Demon Blade (Green): Inquired at coordinates (1002, 775);
Eight Desolations Hidden Blade Decree (White): Obtained when initially choosing the swordsmanship style, also purchasable in Yunhe Village.
The two golden manuals provide high burst, while auxiliary swordsmanship ensures smooth output rhythm, continuous true qi, and improved damage efficiency.
Practical Operation:
The best strategy in practice is to start with "Thousand Streams Startling Goose," quickly building up an advantage, followed by using "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash" to add large-area slashes, then switching to "Mighty Star Shaking Sun" or "Moon Crossing the Mountain" and other purple and blue routines to maintain true qi and combo rhythm, and finally relying on the blood-sucking and health regeneration capabilities of "Divine Blade Ghost Edict" for endurance. This cycle not only delivers high burst but also ensures uninterrupted combat, balancing "burst + endurance." For example, when fighting a boss, the first two golden swordsmanships can instantly take away half of the opponent's health, while auxiliary swordsmanships further control and deal damage. In crowd battles, "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash" provides strong coverage, then switch to "Moon Crossing the Mountain" and other control outputs to suppress the battle situation.
Development Route:
For beginners, the recommended swordsmanships are "Heavenly Pole Extreme Blade," "Eight Desolations Hidden Blade Decree," "Heavenly Subduing Demon Blade," and "Hundred Varieties Blade." These are easy to obtain, have short cooldowns, and prominent combo abilities, helping players complete initial dungeons and training. Additionally, learning "Swordsmanship Essentials" offers protective skills, reinforcing the basics of the sword style.
In the mid-game, focus on acquiring auxiliary manuals. When players have a certain foundation, they can seek out "Mighty Star Shaking Sun," "Divine Blade Ghost Edict," "Moon Crossing the Mountain," and "Supreme Supreme Dao." These manuals are used to address issues such as output gaps, insufficient true qi, or stun control gaps during the transition phase.
In the late game, aim for the golden ultimate skills, with the final goal being to collect the two golden manuals. "Thousand Streams Startling Goose" can be obtained through the secret dungeon or sect exchange, while "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash" can be acquired through the Golden Winged Dungeon or exchange. These two manuals require high values in meridians, roots, and true qi, so a certain level of cultivation base is needed before use.
Mind Techniques and Passive Skills:
Swordsmanship mind techniques should focus on true qi recovery, cooldown reduction, and control effects. Common combinations include:
Purple-Gold Mind Technique Combination: Purple dual-gold mind technique, prioritizing an increase of 3500 points of true qi, ensuring the two golden secrets can be released consecutively;
Auxiliary Mind Techniques: Such as "Myriad Laws Abound" and "Tendon Breaking Bone Crushing" to enhance control and reduce defense, allowing for passive control or stun after the golden moves, maintaining the output rhythm;
Golden Short Mind Technique Accessories: Only one layer is needed to take effect, providing additional attribute boosts to the character.
Passive-wise, the "Swordsmanship Essentials" protective skill can increase swordsmanship value after weapon damage triggers, further stacking the benefits of mind techniques. As you progress to later levels, choose higher-tier meridian point methods to increase true qi limits, sword qi damage, and reduce skill cooldowns.
The recommendation for the strongest swordsmanship in Jianghu 2 ends here. Currently, the most valuable swordsmanship manuals to use are "Thousand Streams Startling Goose (core burst)" paired with "Golden Winged Great Peng Slash (supplementary output)" to further enhance output continuity, supplemented by purple and blue auxiliary swordsmanship to ensure skill rhythm and endurance, plus purple and gold mind techniques to ensure true qi and control, achieving a trinity of burst, endurance, and control.
