[X] Frozen Soul Serenade
It freezes blood. Could this lead to a massive upset in the tournament? I don't know, but it'd be awesome to find out. Even if it only results in a single solid hit before Liling kicks our ass, I want to see it happen.

Lonely Winter Maiden sounds like it could be useful for ambushes and getting people into the mist, especially effective against people weaker than us, but with the tournament coming up we need something to help against equal and stronger opponents in open combat. And it's not like Frozen Soul Serenade doesn't gel with our current arts anyway.

I'm also a little worried about having Ling Qi practise an art with "Lonely" in the name, considering her friends and desire to stay with them. I doubt it would be disasterous, but staying with friends already sounds like it's gonna be difficult later on.

@yrsillar, both art are Yin, correct? what levels do they begin at? mid yellow?


[] Lonely Winter Maiden
Water/Dark
Requires two heart meridian and one leg meridian
Six levels
The song of lonely spirits which haunt the depths of winter, forever seeking the warmth of companionship. The maidens enchanting voice draws in those who hear, no matter how cold the wind, or how deep the snow. Few can resist joining their dance in the frozen fields of winter, forever and ever.

Bewilderment art. Really, really nice. It likely won't help for the tournament, but it's really something that that would help our build as a whole. Very tempting.

Water/Dark
Requires two lung meridians and one arm meridian
Six Levels
Winter's Muse sings from its heart, the place of true cold, where even fire freezes and light dies. The truth of cold is the absolution of endings, and in this melody lies some small part of that truth. Its notes freeze blood and qi alike, its notes often the last thing its listeners hear in this world.

Potent damage art. Damage both Qi and Phys, and is the counterpart to AC's "doesn't do much damage" doots. Would probably help the most for the tournament.

Need to think more.

A bewilderment art works together perfectly with FVM and we can probably do interesting things with the domain forming if we take this path.
This synergy is what I always wanted from this Zequing route and im glad we've unlocked it.

Oh man... Okay, so obviously, we're not going to turn down an art from our beautiful snow mom. It looks like we're solidifying into Wind/Dark/Water though, even though I'd prefer if we were Wind/Dark/Wood. But let's look at the arts we've got...

This looks like crowd control basically. If you're not in our mist, the song will draw you into the mist.

This... sounds a little bit like what Zeqing did to us to inspire our music. So makes our mist extra nasty, maybe make it harder for people to use arts in our mist.

Hmm... Between drawing people into our mist and making our mist nastier... Let's make our mist nastier. Our problem is generally people dispelling our mist rather than flat avoiding it after all. And if Frozen Soul Serenade makes it harder for people to access their arts and dispels within our mist...

I like the aesthetic. Also, this art can be pretty good for kiting and team tactics, especially if we want to drag people into Zhengui's melee range.

Dealing damage is boring. Slowly choking them to death is far more intimate.

Bit more seriously, I'm rather appreciative of the idea that we could slowly grind people down, by taunting, dodgetanking and covering them in debuffs and minions.
Sounds pretty fun and non-standard.

A bit less seriously, this is the path to continue accidentally seducing people. It must be taken.

I'd say LWN has higher odds of having dispel interruption than FSS. After all, FVM has dispel interruption, and I suspect that's something we'd see more with arts that are susceptible to dispels than in attack arts.

We've started to see qi regeneration Arts more and more now so this would be a good counter to them, the fact that its AoE damage as well is just ice-ing on the cake.

Happier choice that matches better with Ling Qi than the cruelty of winter element.

Singing here is emotional, and influences what we'll do with Zeqing. I'd prefer the art about the love of winter and the search for warmth over the cruelty of the cold.


Lungs+heart suggest self-buffs and mobility, potentially dancing component for us as well which could enhance our kiting ability as well.

I love both of these. I think both of them will synergize with FVM really well. Our Domain of "Home" has an interesting interaction with Lonely Winter, in that it could be turned into a beacon of safety for our true friends and false safety for our enemies. Looking at the meridians I'm curious that Lonely Winter has a leg meridian. It's strange, perhaps it has to do with the dancing forever and ever part. Frozen Soul seems more straightforward and seems to be something with dispels or "interrupts".

I'll go with Soul for now since I like the meridians loadout of it more.
