Where Winds Meet — Version 2.1 Patch Notes: Optimizations and Bug Fixes (August 20)

August 20, 2026 Fixes and Optimizations

1. Fixed a visual issue where [Bliss Points] in [Draw: Celestial Echo] were displayed incorrectly. This was a display bug only and did not affect your actual accumulated progress. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
2. Fixed a display error where buff food and buff scrolls were shown incorrectly in the Rare Rewards preview of [Draw - Celestial Echo]. The actual draw results and rewards received were unaffected.
3. Fixed an issue where the [Heaven's Plea] makeup, obtained from the [Sweetened Summer] event, could not be used after acquisition.

August 20 Patch Notes (Version 2.1)

Dear Wanderer,

We will be performing a non-disruptive maintenance update on August 20, 2026, from 5:00 to 10:00 (UTC+8). You can still log in and play during this time, though some features and modes may be temporarily unavailable. The update window may start earlier or run later depending on actual conditions, so please plan your play sessions accordingly. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Here is what Windtail has brought over from Eastwind Pavilion. Take a look at what's new below!

Optimizations

1. Improved camera controls in Build Mode. The Free Camera and Bird's-Eye Camera now support two-finger pinch-to-zoom on touchscreens, as well as scroll-wheel zoom with a mouse.
2. Improved controller support in Build Mode. The LB / RB buttons can now be held down for continuous camera adjustment and building rotation.
3. Improved the Retainer dispatch candidate list in the Homestead. Retainer status is now easier to read, making dispatch choices clearer at a glance.
4. We have adjusted the Attunement effects of the Vernal Umbrella Martial Art. On Tier 96 and higher gear, the Attunement affixes [Vernal Umbrella: Special Skill DMG Boost] and [Vernal Umbrella: Charged Skill DMG Boost] will be merged into a single affix, [Vernal Umbrella: Frequent Projectile DMG Boost]. This merged affix applies to both the Special Skill [Unfading Flower] and the Light Charged Skill [Spring Away], giving you greater freedom in skill selection and reducing the cost of building multiple strategies. After the merge, a new Attunement affix will be added: [Vernal Umbrella: Light/Heavy Attack & Varied Combo DMG Boost]. When Tier 91 gear inherits Attunement, both the original [Vernal Umbrella: Special Skill DMG Boost] and [Vernal Umbrella: Charged Skill DMG Boost] will carry over as [Vernal Umbrella: Frequent Projectile DMG Boost]. On Tier 96 and higher gear that has already been Attuned, these affixes will also be automatically updated to [Vernal Umbrella: Frequent Projectile DMG Boost]. This adjustment applies to the Attunement affix library for Tier 96 and higher Silkbind Jade. Note that only the Tier 96 Silkbind Jade affix library will display two [Vernal Umbrella: Frequent Projectile DMG Boost] affixes at the same time, and this does not affect the random appearance rate of affixes.

8. Fixed an issue where the afterimage effects of the [Ghostly Steps - Umbra] Mystic Skill and its [Jackdaw Shadows] effect went missing on a perfect dodge.
9. Fixed an issue where using the [Strategic Sword] Martial Art could cause a random blink when canceling after charging a heavy attack.
10. Fixed an issue where the phantom umbrella from the [Everspring Umbrella] Martial Art skill could appear in the wrong position when used near the edge of the arena.
11. Fixed an issue where some Wanderers were automatically switched to a different difficulty after entering the mode.
