Earth-wind hybrid for season 2 (patch 2.8.3)

Introduction

The Earth-Wind Hybrid continues to be a powerful, accessible, and effective PvP setup in Season 2 of Infinity Kingdom. Leveraging the solid frontline and sustainability of Earth with the speed and precision of Wind, this build performs well across arena, battlefield, and events. However, it is important to recognize that this build is at its peak during Season 2 and will lose competitive viability as you transition into Conquest Seasons due to meta shifts and expanded Tower of Knowledge skill options.

This guide will walk you through the Season 2 version of the Earth-Wind Hybrid, including Immortal setups, skills, Dragon considerations, and insights into what to prepare for as you approach Conquest.

Why Earth-Wind in Season 2?

  • Maxed Zephyr becomes available to most active players
  • Strong synergy with normal attack and speed-focused builds
  • Consistent healing and sustain via Zenobia
  • Great against builds reliant on debuffs and crowd control
  • Excellent bridge setup before fully transitioning into late-game Earth or Wind compositions

Season 2 Recommended Immortal & Skill Setup

Alexander (Main DPS – Frontline)

  • Anger (default) or Duel Master (vs Wounds-heavy teams)
  • Combo
  • Berserker

Alex is your main damage dealer. Berserker enhances his high-frequency attacks, while Combo enables consistent procs. Anger boosts all physical damage; swap to Duel Master if you’re facing Wounds setups to avoid being shut down.

Hannibal Barca (Off-DPS / Debuff Application)

  • Cleave
  • Wind Rage
  • Fighting Master

Cleave and Wind Rage scale beautifully with Wind Dragon’s passive buffs. Fighting Master keeps Hannibal operating despite crowd control.

Zenobia (Support/Healer Frontliner)

  • Berserk
  • Purification
  • Wine n Dine

Zenobia provides crucial sustain. Wine n Dine enables consistent damage buffs with her heals. Purification is necessary versus Blade Vortex and Wounds setups.

Emperor Qin (Support Buffer)

  • Blessing of Speed (or Life Spring if available)
  • Energy Shield
  • Oaken Guard

Qin’s utility lies in buffing and protecting your team. Energy Shield helps mitigate damage, while Oaken Guard adds physical damage taken reductions.

Dragon: Maxed Zephyr (Wind)

By Season 2, Zephyr should be maxed or close to it. Once the third passive is level 10, the normal attack boost makes this dragon outperform Earth in this build.

Why Zephyr:

  • Amplifies normal attack builds
  • Provides added accuracy and dodge pressure
  • Pairs extremely well with Combo/Berserker/Cleave-focused setups

Strategic Notes

  • This build peaks in Season 2, but will drop off in power as you enter Conquest.
  • Tower of Knowledge expansion and Immortal Talent Trees demand setups that include control utility (e.g. Weakening Curse, No Escape).
  • Hybrid will eventually be outclassed by specialized Earth, Shadow, or Wind marches.

Preparing for Conquest Transition

Once in Conquest, transition into a full Earth or Wind team. Your hybrid lineup can only remain competitive if fully adapted.

Conquest Transition Example Builds

Option 1: Hybrid Continuation for Early Conquest

  • Alex: Wind Rage, Berserker, Assembly Charge
  • Hannibal: Cleave, Time to Shine, Lightning Strike
  • Zeno: Berserk, Wine n Dine, Purification
  • Qin: No Escape, Energy Shield, Blessing of Speed / Oaken Guard

Option 2: Earth-Core Conquest Setup

  • Alex: Blade Vortex, Executioner, Assembly Charge
  • YSS (Replace Hannibal): Weakening Curse, No Escape, Guard
  • Zeno: Berserk, Wine n Dine, Purification
  • Qin: Spring of Life, Energy Shield, Oaken Guard

Pro Tip:

  • Start banking YSS fragments during Season 2 to prepare for your future main Earth build.
  • You will not be competitive in late Conquest without a true tank and access to elite ToK skills.

Conclusion

The Earth-Wind hybrid build is a highly effective and well-rounded PvP option for Season 2. With strong synergy between normal attack scaling, control resistance, and sustain, it gives players a solid edge in all battle formats. However, you must begin preparing for the future, as Conquest’s meta renders hybrid strategies much less viable. Start your transition planning early.
