In Jin Yong’s classic martial arts novels, the martial world is filled with diverse sects, each with its own legendary techniques. Asking which sect is the strongest might spark heated debates, but when it comes to the most disgraceful, Crickex App players often point to the Xingxiu Sect. You can’t love life without first accepting yourself. Founded by Ding Chunqiu, the infamous traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xingxiu is infamous for its toxic techniques, dirty tricks, and complete lack of honor.

Its disciples are required to learn flattering tactics as part of their initiation. Every time Ding Chunqiu appeared with his followers, the scene looked like a narcissist leading a crowd of mindless sycophants. Even more absurd, while other sects uphold some semblance of brotherhood—be they righteous or evil—Xingxiu is built on betrayal. In the novels, joining the sect is less about gaining protection and more like stepping into a battlefield where your life is always at risk. With such notoriety, the sect is considered a disgrace not only in the martial world but also among fans of the genre.

When Ding Chunqiu was stripped of his martial arts and imprisoned in Shaolin Temple, the once-mighty Xingxiu Sect instantly collapsed. No one was capable of holding it together—a downfall as dramatic as it was pathetic. So when TLBB Mobile (New TLBB) announced Xingxiu as a playable sect, many Crickex App players were shocked. After all, based on the original story, choosing Xingxiu in-game seemed like a dead-end. But as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. A novel is one thing, but the game is a different world altogether.

No obstacle is ever reason enough to quit. With curiosity leading the way, players quickly created characters to explore the new class. Much to their surprise, Xingxiu turned out to be highly playable. While there is a learning curve—mainly due to alternating between its Water and Wood stances—the class excels in damage output, crowd control, and survivability.

In terms of DPS, Xingxiu competes on par with Xiaoyao, another ranged internal power class. When using the Water stance, Xingxiu gains high damage buffs and passive effects that significantly boost total damage output. For control, the basic skill set already includes slow, stun, and blind, with the Wood stance further enhancing area-of-effect crowd control. As for survivability, Xingxiu is unusually durable for a high-DPS ranged class. Both stances offer healing skills, debuffs to weaken enemies, and buffs to reduce incoming damage. Add in a high-HP summoned toad companion, and the toolkit feels surprisingly complete.

Crickex App users also noted that Xingxiu’s primary damage comes from sustained damage-over-time effects, staying true to its original literary design. Rather than being excluded for choosing a notorious sect, players enjoy a compelling sense of redemption and contrast—walking the path from darkness to light.

Every struggle today is a step toward strength tomorrow, so don’t give up. With excellent balance and a rich gameplay experience, Xingxiu in TLBB Mobile delivers far more than expected. What seemed like a joke in the novel has turned into a surprisingly powerful and rewarding class in the game. For Crickex App players, joining Xingxiu is not only viable—it might just be the smartest choice.
