The hidden weapon school in Jianghu 2 focuses on poison/shadow attributes, combining long-range burst with continuous poison damage. At the start, points need to be precisely allocated to comprehension, hidden weapons, and poison attributes, which directly affect skill learning and the upper limit of later damage. To help new players quickly grasp this, I will share the starting point allocation for the hidden weapon path in Jianghu 2. Good point allocation can directly impact the speed at which mid-game combat power is formed, especially during the early stages when resources are scarce, every attribute point needs to be accurately invested.

The selection of initial talents is the core of building the school, it is recommended to prioritize 28 points in comprehension, 10 points in hidden weapons, and 7 points in poison. The key to such distribution is: 28 points in comprehension can reach the threshold for learning "Xisui Jing" in the early game, greatly increasing the true qi limit and cultivation efficiency, laying the foundation for subsequent power. Meanwhile, 10 points in hidden weapon attributes and 7 points in poison ensure that you can smoothly join the Tang Sect, unlocking key entry-level hidden weapon techniques and basic poison arts.
After completing the talent allocation, initial attribute points should be concentrated as follows: increase internal breath to 40 points to ensure sufficient true qi endurance (to avoid stalling when frequently using skills), prioritize stacking poison to 30 points to unlock the qualification for cultivating the Seven Color Poison Scripture (the main source of poison damage), increase arm strength to 20 points to directly enhance the base damage of hidden weapons, and finally, put all remaining points into constitution to enhance survival capabilities and avoid being one-shot by early game monsters.

Unlocking the identity of a mechanism engineer is a prerequisite for joining the Tang Sect: dexterity, Mo School, and alchemy each need 50 points, which can be quickly increased through blacksmithing in the beginner village and answering questions at the academy. After completing the task of initially exploring the way of hidden weapons in the Tang Sect, defeat the Wind Tower assassin to obtain the Meteor Chasing Moon Dart (basic poison dart). Subsequently, find Tang Xin to take on the "Box Theft" side quest, gain +5 comprehension at Luoyang White Horse Temple, and upon solving the box, acquire the Mother-Child Needle Technique (stun control). Skill priority: Dark Shadow Secret Canon (group poison damage) > Hidden Blade of the Hero (single-target burst, requires 110 internal energy) > Peach Blossom Adherent Bone Needle (green poison continuous damage).

Meridian priority should be the Belt Meridian: connect the root bone - sinew - vitality nodes, increasing poison damage by 15% and adding 200 health points. Combat combos are divided into three stages: start with the Meteor Chasing Moon Dart to stack poison (each layer increases poison damage by 3%), follow up with the Mother-Child Needle Technique to stun, triggering the Golden Wind Record penetrating damage (poison attribute ×6), use the Dark Shadow Secret Canon to clear the field in the middle stage, consume "Ningshen Pill" to sustain when true qi is insufficient, and save the Hidden Blade of the Hero for finishing off bosses, combined with the "Chess Art 200" talent (hidden weapon damage +20%), single-hit damage can reach over 2000. Note that hitting with the poison dart three times triggers the "Poison Burial" effect, causing additional damage equal to poison attribute ×9.

The core of starting with hidden weapons lies in accurate point allocation, paving the way with comprehension, focusing on poison damage, and supplementing with shadow attributes. New players must remember: in the early stage, focus on stacking internal breath for endurance, in the mid-stage, stack poison damage for bursts, and in the late stage, supplement with shadow attributes for control. Following this guide, you can complete the Six Realms dungeon within 3 hours after leaving the village, easily entering the ranks of high-level Jianghu experts.
