How to unlock Rock Solid in Where Winds Meet

Unlocking the Rock Solid in Where Winds Meet will be a crucial upgrade for players who are running a tank build. When paired with the Stormbreaker Spear, the Inner Way provides improved damage reduction, especially after taunting enemies with the Storm Roar martial art. Interestingly, players obtain the weapon quite early in their playthrough.

However, Rock Solid can only be obtained through the later campaigns in the game, specifically in the Kaifeng arc, which is the ideal time to become resilient. Players can further upgrade the Inner Way tiers to unlock bonus effects and healing capabilities. This article further explains the way to obtain Rock Solid in Where Winds Meet.
