Relive a Year of Jianghu in Where Winds Meet: Dama Qi Mode and Dream Encounters

A year wandering the jianghu brings winds that stir the soul at times. You've admired pear blossoms by Clear River, watched dances in Fanlou Pavilion, trudged through Liangzhou's falling snow, and glimpsed the hidden peaks in the mountains. On festive days, nostalgia hits hard, pulling thoughts back to the paths we've roamed. Those everyday moments from the past flicker in dreams—no envy for immortals—stirring scattered memories that tug at the heartstrings, leaving you wistful.

Just as your mind drifts, an invitation arrives for a dream chess match. Everything in sight and mind folds into the board... In the Where Winds Meet anniversary update, the fresh Dama Qi mode drops soon. Wanderers dive into the Xia Lu Zong Xiang Feng event via Qi Feng Gu You for that first taste of strategic showdowns. Or explore Jianghu Qi Yu to collect a year's worth of jianghu flashbacks, retracing your epic journey through every twist of the Dama Qi chessboard.

Chess Clashes Amid Old Pals

This dreamlike board feels surreal yet captivating, drawing you right in. You can jump solo or team up with buddies, turning yourselves into pieces for intense Dama Qi gameplay. Dice rolls dictate your moves, and the first to the finish claims victory, echoing classic horse chess vibes.

Luck alone would make it dull, so they've spiced it with esoteric arts and sect martial skills for deeper tactics and planning thrills. Before starting, pick a sect technique to master—each shines uniquely. Grab Jiuliu Sect skills to snag goodies from rivals; master Kuanglan moves for bonus steps toward quicker wins.

Beyond skills, snag various esoteric card packs. Strategize your deck to bulldoze foes head-on or stack buffs for a smooth ride—pure scheming fun awaits in the Where Winds Meet Dama Qi mode. Hit markets on the path to trade Qi Zhen cards, boosting your side and seizing advantages.

Inside the board, old rivals and allies lurk. Land on key spots, face down past foes—beat them for buffs, lose and suffer debuffs that slow you.

The real magic? Those familiar landmarks along the way. Pear blossoms drift, bamboo sways gently... They yank you back to vivid recollections, injecting fresh twists into your current board state.

Jianghu Qi Yu: Dreamscapes of Yore

Racing through the board skips savoring those spots. But gather enough memories, and unlock Jianghu Qi Yu mode to stitch them into full scenes, reliving those pivotal jianghu encounters from your year as a growing xia.

Picture a sunny afternoon revisiting the bamboo hut, answering that question anew; slipping into Fanlou amid peony scents and willow breezes, spotting a half-familiar figure behind the screen; under desert flags at White Camel City, reminiscing Chang'an with the wall-top figure; moonlight over pines as you dive Ink Lake depths, reuniting with the lone drinker bearing an old friend's item.

Time slips away unchecked, but these Qi Yu moments rewind your jianghu trail, offering alternate paths to old tales. Jump in to reunite with friends, swap stories, reclaim unfinished adventures in nostalgic bliss.

The board's past paths point to boundless futures ahead.
