Detailed Explanations
Burst Damage
- Amalgam has four different ways to burst, listed here in order of priority:
- The
凝固汽油 burst:
- The
强酸炸弹 burst:
- The Morph skill burst:
- The Filler burst:
- If possible you want to combine these bursts into each other as follows:
- The goal is prioritize your higher damage, easier to execute and lower cooldown bursts first, to increase your overall damage and allow you to burst more frequently
- Try to hold your burst and use it at the same time as the rest of your group to more effectively generate down states
- If you can't use the next highest priority burst combo safely, move to the next one
- If you can't use any of them safely, just swap to sustained damage and wait for a good time to burst
- Don't view this as a strict order every time you burst. The key skills to burst around are 凝固汽油, 强酸炸弹, and your Morph skills, as long as one of the them will land effective damage you can go for the burst
流体状态 can be added onto any burst, preferably at the start
烈焰爆弹 combines very nicely into other skills due to its travel time, it can be added before any burst combo if you're in range- Use
原浆状态 before any burst if you're in range to land it - If you don't need
跳跃射击 to get in range for 强酸炸弹 it can be used at any time for a large hit
Damage
Skill priority
- Prioritize syncing your burst skills up when possible as described above, but otherwise your main priority is to use 强酸炸弹 and 凝固汽油 as often as possible
- Use 强酸炸弹 whenever the enemy group will be in the AoE for multiple ticks, the CD is very short
- The backwards leap must be canceled by using a Weapon Swap Weapon Swap keybind during the animation
- Use
爆燃烈焰 before 凝固汽油 if you don't already have 
急速
- Use 霰弹射击 while close to the enemy when possible, but it is still worth casting at range if your group is spiking together
烈焰喷射 is a great filler, use it any time your other skills are on CD or you're at range- Make sure to Dodge Dodge for
爆破进击 and use 烈焰爆弹 frequently to keep 
脾气爆发 stacked
