Benediction in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers explained

Benediction in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a type of Relic system that allows you to slot in certain artifacts on your weapons. Once you defeat the Tang Palace Maid in Buddha Cliffs, you will unlock this menu in the Shrines. You can equip three Benedictions on each of your weapons to power them up, or give yourself passive buffs such as increased attack power or stamina recovery.

There are two layers to this system, as besides the buffs that each of these Benedictions provides, you can also get an additional fourth one. If you slot three of the same set (marked by the icon on the stones), you will get an extra buff.

Benedictions in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers can be found around the world in small treasure chests. These will generally be guarded by a few enemies, but at times, you will find them without any guards. Interacting with these chests will open them up, and you will get a random Benediction.

Special Benedictions that are more powerful compared to the normal ones you find also exist. These can be obtained from Benediction Gates, which you can find in certain hidden areas.

You can use any Benedictions from other weapons, but this will, in turn, remove the gem from your old one. Keep in mind that you will only be able to see the weapons you've equipped under the Benediction menu. To see others, you will have to equip them on your active slots first.
