Joining a sect in Where Winds Meet changes how you play the entire game. Each group follows its own code, offers unique martial arts, and unlocks exclusive cosmetics or skills. Picking the right sect can make a huge difference in your build, so here’s a look at the best sects and what each one really offers.
How to Join a Sect
You’ll unlock the Sects menu early in the story. Open it from the bottom right of your main screen and select Join Sect. Each sect shows an Entry Clue that leads to a short quest. Completing that quest officially makes you a disciple. You can only belong to one sect at a time, and breaking their rules can lower your reputation or even get you expelled.
Best Sects Ranked
S Tier – Well of Heaven
This sect rewards bravery and teamwork. Its Thundercry Blade martial art hits hard and scales well into late-game content. Members who focus on dueling or PvE boss fights benefit most. Well of Heaven disciples earn bonus Chivalrous Deeds each week, making it one of the easiest ways to rack up reputation and sect currency.
A Tier – Raging Tides
Raging Tides is built for players who love constant battle. Its Heavenquaker and Stormbreaker spear styles are strong in both solo and co-op modes. The daily combat requirement can be tiring, but the rewards match the effort. Great for consistent grinders or anyone who enjoys a pure warrior experience.
A Tier – Silver Needle
Perfect for support-focused players. This sect’s Inkwell and Panacea Fans give strong healing and buffing options, and multiplayer healing adds precept value each week. Silver Needle members also gain popularity points through social features like likes and player rescues.
B Tier – Velvet Shade
This all-female spy sect is stylish and flexible. Its Ninefold Umbrella gives balanced mobility and damage, and it’s excellent for social roleplay builds. However, charm-based interactions don’t always translate into combat strength, keeping it slightly below the top ranks.
B Tier – Hollow Vale
A mix of poison and healing that appeals to hybrid players. Balancing both sides takes effort, since every heal should be matched by a poison use. When mastered, though, Hollow Vale builds become some of the most unpredictable in PvP.
C Tier – Nine Mortal Ways
A tricky sect built around deception and disguise. It’s fun for roleplay and social challenges but not the most practical for combat-heavy players. Great for those who enjoy experimenting with misdirection and stealth systems.
C Tier – Lone Cloud
Focused on precision swordplay and puzzle-solving. Its passive bonuses support tactical gameplay but lack raw power. Best suited for players who like duels, strategy, and patient playstyles.
D Tier – The Masked Troupe
More about performance and mystery than fighting. It’s creative, but its rewards and skills aren’t fully developed yet. Expect updates to improve this sect in future patches.
D Tier – Mohist Hill
This sect values morality and kindness above all else. While noble in theme, its benefits are mostly dialogue-based or minor stat boosts. Ideal for pacifists or collectors rather than hardcore fighters.
D Tier – Inkbound Order
The scholar’s sect, focused on literature and swordsmanship. Its bonuses are tied to reputation and writing-related achievements. It has flavor but limited combat utility for now.
Best Sect for Solo Players
Well of Heaven and Raging Tides are the best solo options. Both provide solid combat paths, strong skills, and access to straightforward reputation farming.
Best Sect for Roleplay or Social Builds
Velvet Shade and Silver Needle shine here. Their systems encourage social actions, gifts, and cooperative missions that reward style points and personality interactions.
Best Sect for PvP
Midnight Blades dominates in open-world PvP thanks to its Karma mechanic and high offensive bonuses. It’s not beginner-friendly but pays off for aggressive players.
Final Blurb
Choosing the best sect in Where Winds Meet depends on how you want to play. Well of Heaven fits balanced heroes, Silver Needle helps the supportive crowd, and Raging Tides rewards nonstop fighters. No matter what you pick, each sect brings its own culture, combat focus, and rulebook to master.
