Kyoshiro was an optimist going into the battle at Xiansai. Though the walls were tumbling down around him, he quickly disposed of his enemies.

Kyoshiro's Blade

This fist weapon boosts the Monk's Wave of Light and gives the skill a clever targeting mechanic: if the first impact hits only a few enemies, the damage turns out considerably higher. The blade thus rewards precise single-target or narrow-front hits.

This makes the weapon a fit for Wave of Light builds that want to switch between area pressure and concentrated single-target damage against bosses or elites. The bonus for few targets makes it especially valuable in boss fights. Practical tip: aim the wave so its first hit catches only the boss or a few enemies rather than sweeping through a whole pack, in order to trigger the damage bonus, and switch your orientation deliberately depending on the situation.

Condition and roll range

The bonus applies when the initial impact of the wave hits 5 or fewer enemies, and it rolls between 200 and 250%. A copy at 229% sits above the midpoint, and a Primal Ancient reaches the full 250%. What counts is the initial impact - whatever happens afterward doesn't affect the condition.

Runes for Wave of Light

The wave costs 75 Spirit and deals 835% weapon damage as Holy. Empowered Wave raises that to 1045%, Pillar of the Ancients goes for 635% Lightning followed by lingering area damage over 3 seconds, and Shattering Light adds another 820% Cold in a line. Explosive Light hits nearby enemies with Fire, while Wall of Light stuns for 1 second and turns the damage Physical. Choose the rune that matches your elemental damage bonus.

Stats and partners

Every copy carries +626–750 Dexterity and bonus damage of +981–1,199 to 1,175–1,490. Look for a socket, Damage %, Cooldown Reduction, Maximum Spirit, Resource Cost Reduction, Area Damage or bonus damage against elites. The blade is often paired with Pinto's Pride, The Crudest Boots, Rabid Strike, Incense Torch of the Grand Temple, Tzo Krin's Gaze and Squirt's Necklace.

The flavor text portrays Kyoshiro as an optimist at the battle of Xiansai who quickly dispatched his enemies even as the walls came tumbling down around him.
