Guide

Introduction

Support Chronomancer is a versatile support specialization that excels at providing 稳固, 急速, and healing to allies while also offering strong damage mitigation through clever use of Distortion and other skills. The build mainly revolves around maintaining these boons and providing utility to the party.

Core Synergies:

• Relic of Febe combined with Mantraofrecovery provides cleanses for movement impairing conditions and 迅捷.
• Bountifuldisillusionment enhances your F1-F4 shatter skills with additional boons, increasing group support.
• Restorativemantras upgrades your mantras to heal allies on use, providing consistent group healing.
• Mentaldefense empowers your F4 shatter to grant a stun break and 抗性, crucial for surviving heavy crowd control.
• Seizethemoment adds 急速 to all shatter skills, greatly improving your party's effectiveness.

Damage mitigation:

Damage mitigation is one the most effective ways to cancel out important enemy skills. Therefore, you want to position yourself on or a little bit in front of your commander. Make sure to move back before your block/invulnerability skill ends. The skills in question are:

• Distortion (F4) makes you invulnerable for a short period of time and therefore, making it the perfect tool to cancel unblockable attacks like wells or warrior attacks.
• Echoofmemory blocks incoming attacks and can be activated a second time if you got hit.
• Blurredfrenzy evades incoming attacks for a short period.

Boons provided:

The main boons you provide through traits, utilities, and skills are:

• 稳固 Delivered via Mantra of Concentration and F5 (Continuumsplit). Maintaining this boon is your top priority.
• 急速 Generated from all shatter skills (F1–F5) through Seizethemoment and from Timewarp.
• 抗性 Primarily from Distortion (F4) via Mentaldefense, and from Rifle 5 (Singularityshot). Other boons granted by Chronomancer help cover and protect these key boons, making it harder for enemies to strip your group's essential buffs.

Additional Notes

• Inspiringimagery: Grants 激怒 and 威能 if you don't use the flip skill.
