Detailed Explanations

Traps

  • Use 利刃狂舞 图标利刃狂舞 and 信仰试炼 图标信仰试炼 when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee
  • Don't try to predict the enemy group far in advance or precast traps, wait until you have an opportunity to get immediate value
  • Don't put yourself in a position where you could die trying to get better traps off

Shield of Courage

  • 勇气之盾 图标勇气之盾 blocks for allies inside the cone of the shield animation in front of you
    • 勇气之盾 图标勇气之盾 blocks damage coming from enemy players you are facing
      • This means the center of an AoE can be behind you, but if you're facing the player that cast it the damage will be blocked

Ranged Engage

Sustained damage

  • In melee just autoattack (AA) on Hammer, swapping weapons and casting other weapon skills is a DPS loss
  • Use 愤怒祷词 图标愤怒祷词 to activate 防护复苏 图标防护复苏
  • Use 决心之翼 图标决心之翼 as an engage when far away
  • If you are in range to land 奋力锤击 图标奋力锤击 but not in range to AA, use it to close the gap
