Finding the Sound Breathing Trainer
In Slayers 2, obtaining Sound Breathing requires a trek to the Icevail Valley. Because the trainer is located in a challenging environment, preparation is key.
To reach the location, start from the first island's quest giver (Crew) and head toward the Mother Bear area. As you transition into the snow-covered region, you will begin taking environmental damage. To survive the journey without a lantern, carry health potions and move between campfires. These campfires serve as safe zones where your health will regenerate. Continue past the second campfire, turn right at the NPC, and look for Tengen. From there, head right and navigate the mountain walls—you will need the wall-climbing ability to ascend to the trainer's location.
Sound Breathing Move Set and Mechanics
Sound Breathing is currently considered one of the top-tier styles for both PvE boss farming and competitive 1v1 ranked matches. According to community experience, the style excels due to its mobility and recent balance adjustments that fixed previous weaknesses.
- Z (Bursting Bloom): A forward dash that slashes through enemies, ending in an explosion that stuns the target.
- X (Roar): This is a critical move that activates a compass needle. If hit during the counter window, you teleport in front of the attacker and launch them into the air. Recent updates have added a guard-breaking effect to this move, making it an essential combo starter or extender.
- C (Exploding Beads): You throw a barrage of beads that hover and detonate upon impact. It is versatile, as it can be deployed both on the ground and in the air.
- V (Resounding Slashes): A rapid flurry of strikes and explosives with a high-knockback finish. This move is particularly valued because it can be animation-cancelled.
- B (String Performance): A high-damage move where the user rushes the target with rotating slashes, ending with a powerful, blazing cross strike.
Expert Tips for PvP and PvE
Many high-ranking players suggest that mastering Sound Breathing requires a disciplined, passive playstyle rather than constant aggression.
Combat Strategy: Because the kit revolves around the X (Roar) move's guard-break and counter potential, wait for your opponent to commit to an attack before engaging. Avoid wasting your abilities on air; instead, use your mobility to reset the fight and wait for your cooldowns to return.
Community reports emphasize that while Sound Breathing is powerful, it is not an "auto-win" button. Players note that you must manage your movement carefully, especially in arenas with obstacles like trees or bushes, which can accidentally block your pathing during high-speed maneuvers. For those looking to optimize their build, focus on keeping your distance and utilizing your explosive beads to zone opponents before closing in with the Z or B moves.
