Taoist Masters & Unique Powers
Players choose from several Taoist master characters, each with distinct abilities such as summoning deities like Lord Guan or casting mid‑air spells that launch flying swords. Exclusive magical weapons—including the Green Dragon Blade, Peach Wood Sword, Yin‑Yang Umbrella and Willow Leaf Whip—provide varied combat styles.
These masters cooperate in five‑player co‑op missions, supporting each other with their specialized powers while confronting ghost kings and other fierce spirits. Selecting a master that matches your preferred playstyle helps shape a personal exorcism approach.
- Experiment with different masters to discover which ability set complements your teammates best.
- Pair a master’s deity summons with talismans and magical tools to build your own exorcism style.

Capturing and Nurturing Evil Spirits
During combat, Taoist masters can use soul urns to capture weakened evil spirits. Captured spirits can be trained and upgraded, eventually becoming allies that assist in banishing other foes. Spirits range from low‑tier minions to high‑tier boss entities, each offering distinct support skills.
Combining captured spirits with talismans and artifacts lets players exploit each spirit’s strengths while covering personal weaknesses, embodying the “fighting evil with evil” theme central to the game’s folklore focus.
- Prioritize capturing low‑tier spirits early to build a supportive roster before facing stronger enemies.
- Combine your Taoist powers with talismans and artifacts to make the most of each spirit’s strengths.
