Contested Zones[]
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
 Central Hall Shadow-Chasers Kamisato Estate, Inazuma |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wooden basins, wooden barrels, and lamps. The resistance once set up overseas support branches, fearing the worst for their chances back home. Following rumors of their presence, the Hunters would gave chase. These support teams had the highest measure of vigilance against their pursuers, and were ready at any time to engage them in what is now the Yashiro Commission grounds. Though much time has passed and the building has changed greatly, the courtyard layout is nonetheless quite similar — certainly enough to hone any Rebel's techniques! |
 Amidst Autumn Trees Higi Village, Inazuma |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wooden basins, vases, and water tanks. The resistance hiding out in the rural villages are holding a training session, such that they may be ready to stand against the keenest hunters in the most perilous circumstances. The dilapidated houses, the scattered items, and the vision-obscuring red leaves provide ample room for covering one's tracks! |
 The Hidden Trials Kujou Encampment, Inazuma |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: archery targets, wine barrels, and Otogi Wood boxes. The most guarded place is also the safest place. A mock battle based on a military camp in Kannazuka is about to take place! The hard-to-attack, easy-to-defeat terrain and the voluminous defenses introduce countless variables into the equation, and the well-designed encampment is also an ideal spot for ambushes. Both sides need to be cautious! |
 Ritou Runaround Ritou, Inazuma |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: storage sacks, wine barrels, Otogi Wood boxes, and short stools. The resistance would often have to meet with their contacts to keep abreast of the situation. The wily Hunters would also switch tacks to tail these informants, thus exposing the Rebels by extension. As such, even the busy, prosperous harbor could become a contested area. These pedestrian streets were good for concealing oneself, but they also greatly shortened distances and the reaction times required. Danger lay in wait around every corner... |
 Terrace Patrol Qingce Village, Liyue |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: dead wood and scarecrows. The terraced fields during harvest were not only excellent places for the resistance forces to conceal themselves but an excellent source of materials that could be used in the grueling struggle against the aristocracy. Of course, the Hunters would also watch this place, and they would dispatch elites to encircle the weaker Rebels... |
 Searching the Silent Woods Starfell Valley, Mondstadt |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: old wooden boxes, and old wooden barrels. The resistance operated in the woods near Mondstadt, right under their enemies' noses, taking advantage of this particular blind spot to great effect. After a time, however, the old aristocracy would discover these discrepancies and dispatch elite Hunters to investigate. The fierce battle beneath the silent trees is about to begin! |
 In a City of Yore Concealed Sea of Clouds, Liyue |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: old wooden boxes, old wooden barrels, and stone lamps. The ruins and old abandoned wrecks would often be overlooked by the aristocracy due to their extreme danger and the harsh living conditions there, which made them difficult places to hide in. However, some survivalist Rebels would take advantage of this view to set up a base there. However, some Hunters with extremely good instincts would come to such places to conduct independent investigations. Thus would some unexpected confrontations come to be... |
 Winery Clash Dawn Winery, Mondstadt |
The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wine barrels, street lamps, and chairs. Delectable wines are Mondstadt's key exports, and each bottle may as well be worth its weight in Mora. Of course, this meant that both sides viewed it as a strategic resource. Ever since the resistance networks were active, clashes around large-scale wineries never stopped. The fighting over the large buildings at the core of such operations was exceptional fierce in that regard. |

Windward Arts[]
All original Combat Talents will be replaced with "Windward Arts". Travelers can select the Windward Arts they want to use before the game starts.
Secret Favors are Windward Arts that can be picked up that replace the Elemental Burst.
Rebel[]
- If you play as a Rebel in the game, after the game starts, you must constantly move and hide to avoid the Hunter until the time limit is up. The longer a Rebel remains uncaught, the more Windtrace Coins obtained. At the end of the stipulated time, if one or more Rebels are left on the field, victory goes to the Rebels.
- During the preparation phase, the Rebels need to quickly find good hiding spots, use their Windward Arts to disguise themselves as designated objects within the current map, place bait, or cleverly use the environment to hide and evade the Hunter.
| Name | Description | Talent | Cooldown | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Lay Bait | Place a suitable piece of Bait in the area ahead to confuse the Hunter. If the Hunter attempts to capture the Bait, their vision will be obscured for a short time. If you are in a disguise, the Bait will take on the same guise as you. Note: This skill has two charges. Bait lasts indefinitely if it is not captured. |
Normal Attack | 20s |
|
Transparency | Enter hidden mode temporarily. During this time, you cannot be seen by the Hunter. Entering this mode will dispel your current disguise. The Hunter's Windward Arts "Capture!," "Mysterious Hunch," and "Sensor Aura" will all still take effect against a hidden Rebel. Note: Transparency lasts 5 seconds. |
Normal Attack | 30s |
|
Disguise | Press: Randomly disguise as one of the specialized objects in the area. Hold: Remove the disguise. The disguise will be removed when you glide or swim. |
Elemental Skill | 0.5s |
|
Starstep | Movement SPD is greatly increased for the next 30s. | Elemental Burst | 10s |
Hunter[]
- If you play as a Hunter in the game, after the game starts, your task is to capture all the Rebels within the stipulated time. The various Arts of the Hunter can be used to detect the location of the opposing side and leave them shorn of their disguises.
- The more Rebels a Hunter captures in the game and the less time it takes to capture the Rebels, the more Windtrace Coins obtained. At the end of the stipulated time, if the Hunter captures all the Rebels, victory goes to the Hunter.
- During the preparation phase of Windtrace, the Hunter is enclosed within an opaque blue wall. They cannot leave the enclosure, nor can they see where the Rebels go. However, the opaque blue wall is short enough that in certain maps, Rebels in very high locations may be spotted from within the enclosure.
- After the activity starts, the Stamina consumed by the Hunter in sprinting, climbing, and gliding will be greatly reduced.
- The Hunter's usage of the "Sensor Aura", "Mysterious Hunch", and "Capture!" Windward Arts is visible to all Rebels who have the "Co-Op Teammate Effects" graphics setting set to "On" (not "Partially Off" or "Off").
| Name | Description | Talent | Cooldown | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Sensor Aura | Scout a fixed area around yourself. You will be notified if the area contains a Rebel. If a scouted Rebel moves, sprints, jumps, or glides within the next 5s, a marking pillar of light will be left at their current position for 5s.
Note: This skill has three charges. |
Normal Attack | 4s |
|
Mysterious Hunch | Briefly show the direction in which all the Rebels can be found. | Normal Attack | 40s |

Elemental Burst | 40s |
|
Insight | Dispels the disguises of all Rebels and briefly marks their location on the minimap while showing the position of nearby Rebels on the scene with a pillar of light. During this time, the Rebels will be unable to disguise themselves. The Rebels will be warned of this action. Note: Marks all Rebels for 20s on the map and highlights them with a blue pillar of light. The pillar of light moves with the player. |
Elemental Burst | 20s |
|
Hunter's Intuition | Randomly dispels the disguise of one Rebel and marks their location on the minimap for a long period of time. If the target is nearby, their location will be marked by a pillar of light. The target cannot Disguise themselves for the duration of this effect. The Rebels will be warned of this action.

- If a Rebel dies while playing the game, it will count as a capture by the Hunter.
- If the Hunter dies while playing the game, then the Rebels will win.
- As in normal co-op, character audio, such as idle lines, audio from idle animations, and grunts, can be heard by other players if they are close enough. Disguises will prevent audio from being played. Observers' audio will not be heard.
- Equippable pets such as Mini Seelie: Dayflower will make noises even while Rebels are disguised. Observers' pets will not be heard.
- Resources that are present in the Windtrace world, such as butterflies, can be picked up. Some resources appear to be present at first but disappear when the rebels' preparation phase begins.
- Windtrace is playable with custom co-op parties of as few as 2 people. Players who are not already in the host's world will not be added to the game.
Tacit Observer Mode[]
- Observers can move around the map but cannot participate or be seen or heard by other players, including other Observers.
- Observers are continually healed to full health.
- This healing triggers the 4-piece effect of Ocean-Hued Clam. The bubble deals damage to any nearby entities that can be damaged.
- The text that shows up when Observers have their HP healed, lose HP, or take on an effect, such as Wet, will still appear.
