Mist Breathing Overview
Mist Breathing is one of the confirmed breathing styles in Project Slayers 2, learned from the Muichiro-inspired Mist Trainer NPC. Where styles like Thunder rely on raw burst speed and Wind on area damage, Mist specializes in misdirection: sudden repositioning, confusing movement patterns, and attacks that start from unpredictable angles. In the community tier list, Mist sits in B-tier — the movement tech rewards skilled players, but the raw damage output trails behind the S and A-tier picks.
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|
| Style name | Mist Breathing |
| Trainer | Mist Trainer (Muichiro-inspired NPC) |
| Unlock requirement | Complete prerequisite quests, pay unlock fee in Wen |
| Best weapon | Standard Katana |
| Tier (community) | B-tier |
| Playstyle | Repositioning, misdirection, PVP dueling |
| Main weakness | Low raw damage compared to Thunder/Water |
Mist Breathing suits players who enjoy outplaying opponents with movement rather than winning damage races. If you like baiting attacks and punishing whiffs, this style fits you. If you prefer straightforward burst combos, Thunder Breathing is a better fit.
Mist Breathing Moveset
Mist's moveset revolves around layers — each form creates distance, closes it, or obscures your intentions. The confirmed moves in Project Slayers 2 are listed below with their combat roles.
| Move | Combat Role | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Low Clouds Distant Haze | Engage / opener | Closing distance quickly to start a combo |
| Eight-Layered Mist | Multi-hit pressure | Sustained damage in mid-range duels |
| Obscuring Clouds | Reposition / disengage | Escaping ganks or resetting neutral in PVP |
Low Clouds Distant Haze
- Fast engage tool
- Opens combo strings
- Pairs well with M1 chains
Eight-Layered Mist
- Multi-hit damage
- Good mid-range pressure
- Breaks passive blockers
Obscuring Clouds
- Confusing reposition
- Escape bad matchups
- Punish whiffed skills
Mist's repositioning tools drain stamina fast. Exhausted players cannot block, dash, or use skills — a deadly state in PVP. Watch your stamina bar before committing to Obscuring Clouds and always leave enough to defend.
How to Unlock Mist Breathing
Follow this path to add Mist Breathing to your Slayer build.
Level Up in the Starting Village
Complete early quests around Kiribating and farm low-level bandits and demons until you meet the level requirement for advanced trainers. Always accept a quest before farming for bonus XP.
Find the Mist Trainer
Locate the Muichiro-inspired Mist Trainer NPC on the map. Check the trainer markers near the mid-level zones once you leave the starting area.
Complete Prerequisite Quests
The trainer requires a short questline before teaching the style. Clear these quests — they also give useful XP and Wen along the way.
Pay the Unlock Fee
Hand over the Wen fee to learn Mist Breathing. Farm world bosses if you are short on currency — they drop reliable money payouts.
Equip and Practice
Assign your new Mist moves to number slots and practice the engage-reposition rhythm on mid-level enemies before taking it into PVP.
Switching breathing styles later requires significant investment. Test Mist's playstyle on a friend or in low-stakes duels before you commit your main character to it.
Mist vs Other Breathing Styles
Before spending your Wen, compare Mist against the other confirmed styles in Project Slayers 2.
| Style | Tier | Strength | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thunder | S | Fastest burst combos, dash cancels | Demands precise execution |
| Water | A | Balanced moveset, strong finishers | No standout specialty |
| Wind | B | Great area damage for farming | Punishable wind-ups |
| Mist | B | Confusing movement tech | Low raw damage |
| Insect | C | Poison damage over time | Slow, outclassed in PVP |
Clan passives shape your whole build. Rare or better clans that improve dash stamina efficiency or sword damage pair especially well with Mist's hit-and-run playstyle. Re-roll with spare spins once your core build is settled.
