Overview
A condition DPS build for Firebrand in fractals and raids. This build can inflict massive AoE
燃烧 bursts with
正义圣书, which resets on killing (most) enemies. This makes it one of the burstiest condition damage builds and very strong if it can consistently reset
正义圣书.
In addition to DPS, Firebrand's tomes can provide high defensive utility to its subgroup including
圣盾,
保护,
抗性,
决心,
稳固, projectile destruction, and emergency healing.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
For players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure,
无情之判 makes Axe strong enough that you don't need to swap to another weapon set. Scepter is a good pick to provide a ranged option.
Skill Variants
Utility
净化火焰 can be swapped out for more utility. If the condi cleanse is valuable then swapping
愤怒纹章 is only a little bit less DPS:
Elite
专注复苏 is totally optional - it gives you access to invulnerability, more pages for utility tome skills, and can allow you to recover from accidentally spending too many pages, but provides no extra damage.
Template Code
[&DQEQGi4XPiVLF0sXFRcVF0wBTAExATEBNwE3AQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]Specializations
Specialization Variants
Zeal does slightly more damage on the golem, while Virtues offers a bit of extra team utility. The rotation is identical regardless of which you choose.
Trait Variants
- You could run
纯粹决心 for more support and personal sustain.
Equipment
Non-SotO Relics
荆棘古物 is the easiest relic swap for players without SotO, and has higher damage potential than
碎层古物 at max stacks, but not every encounter can reliably trigger it.
Otherwise, the best core damage relic for condi firebrand is
望族古物. Unfortunately the standard build cannot trigger this, so Virtues must be swapped out for the Zeal traitline.
The rotation remains the same.
Consumables
Food
盘装牛肉仁当 or ascended variants
Utility
Usage
The basic idea is to use skills off cooldown while spamming
燃烧 with key
正义圣书 skills.
Thanks to
沉言重词, expending all charges of
烈焰咒语 generates two pages. This means that you can frequently jump into
正义圣书 and use any or all of the following skills (listed in order of priority):
- Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath
- Epilogue: Ashes of the Just Epilogue: Ashes of the Just
- Chapter 2: Igniting Burst Chapter 2: Igniting Burst
Rotation
Opener
During the opener spam all
烈焰咒语 charges as fast as you can without delaying other skills.
司法审判 is a decent CC skill, so you can slightly adjust its position in the opener to line up with breakbars.

Rest of the rotation
- Outside of
引燃符印,
净化火焰 and
烈焰咒语 are your highest priorities. Don't delay Weapon swap Weapon swaps though.
Axe
- Open and close each axe section with
复仇符印. Cast the second
复仇符印 just before you swap away, as
引燃符印 triggers extra burning when you hit a target within it so we want as many damage ticks as possible in order to trigger it close to the ICD. - Use
燃焰利刃 once without interrupting your auto chains. This can be saved for CC or ignored entirely if it causes problems, as the damage is low. - Use
狂徒火焰 ⇒
狂徒烈焰 off cooldown. On your first loop you want to cast this three times. Otherwise, do not delay your weapon swap for it.
Pistol
- Open each pistol section with
引燃符印, then follow up with all available pistol skills. Hold on to skill 4 when it recharges, use it immediately after the second use of
引燃符印, then Weapon swap Weapon swap. - Try to cover as much time on pistol with
正义圣书 dips. Try to avoid having to use pistol autos as much as possible.
Tome Usage
- You cannot see the cooldown of your tome skills outside of your tome, but Epilogue Ashes of the Just Epilogue Ashes of the Just has the same cooldown as
净化火焰. By casting these skills in close succession it is somewhat possible to keep track. Using three skills in one burst provides a page refund via
敏捷学者 so the third skill is essentially free. - Try to make note of the remaining cooldowns on Chapter 2: Igniting Burst Chapter 2: Igniting Burst and Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath Chapter 4: Scorched Aftermath to give yourself an idea when you should jump back in.
Axe-only Rotation
Axe is by far the most damaging weapon set. However, if you need to swap to Sceptre for ranged damage, you have several long cast-times that that can be used to cover the time and minimise the need to use Sceptre's weak autoattacks.

狂徒火焰
燃焰利刃 - if you're very fast you can fit this in before the Zealot's Fire throw, but don't miss it!
Axe
While on Axe, you mostly use
复仇符印 and
燃焰利刃 off cooldown and autoattack in between, making sure to finish auto chains.
Use
狂徒烈焰 ⇒
狂徒火焰 when available. As long as
狂徒烈焰 doesn't reach maximum charges you can't waste the cooldown, so feel free to fit its usage around other skills.
Tome Usage
You cannot see the cooldown of your tome skills outside of your tome, but Epilogue: Ashes of the Just Epilogue: Ashes of the Just has the same cooldown as
净化火焰, and Chapter 2 Igniting Burst Chapter 2: Igniting Burst has the same cooldown as
复仇符印. By casting these skills in close succession it is somewhat possible to keep track. Using three skills in one burst provides a page refund via
敏捷学者 so the third skill is essentially free.
Scepter
You may occasionally want to swap to Scepter for ranged damage. As the autoattacks are very weak, you want to cover as much time on this weapon with the following:
Using these skills means you spend as little time autoattack as possible whilst still being able to benefit from
惩戒符印.
General Tips
- All mantras are instant cast and should be used while performing the rest of the rotation.
狂徒烈焰 ⇒
狂徒火焰 should be used in place of autoattacks when up. As an ammunition skill, you are free to delay use of this as long as you don't reach maximum charges.- Make sure to always complete your auto attack chain while on Axe.
Encounter Specific Tips
Spirit Vale
Vale Guardian
- Use
光芒锁链 on Scepter to Immobilize Immobilize Seekers that are getting too close. - Make sure not to face Seekers when using
燃焰利刃 to ensure you don't pull them into the group. - You can bring
"怒气冲天!" to provide some
急速 in the split phase, if you will not have any other source.
专注复苏 can be used to invuln the damage if you are skipping greens.- If you don't trust your healers, you can bring
愤怒祷词 to heal up after a skipped green.
决心圣书 can be used to quickly recover after a skipped green, or at the end of the split phase.- The split phase guardian will reset your
正义圣书 when they die, so you don't need to save it for the main phase.
For more information, see our Vale Guardian Guide.
Spirit Woods

Gorseval the Multifarious
燃焰利刃 can be used to pull the little spirits into Gorseval to they can be cleaved down.- During the split phase, use
光芒锁链 on the big spirits to prevent them moving into Gorseval. - During the later parts of the encounter it may be worth dropping your
惩戒符印 on the Orbs to prevent them expanding into the group.
For more information, see our Gorseval the Multifarious Guide.
Sabetha the Saboteur
For more information, see our Sabetha the Saboteur Guide.
Salvation Pass
Slothasor
- Use
燃焰利刃 to pull slublings (NOT the friendly slubling) into the stack.
- Slublings reset your
正义圣书 when they die, so be on the lookout for stray ones to pull in.
- Slublings reset your
- If you are the only firebrand in the group, you might want to bring
"坚守阵地!" to provide
稳固 for the
恐惧.
专注复苏 can be used while jumping in Slothasor's hitbox to block the spores from the shake attack.
决心圣书 can be used to quickly cleanse conditions if people are hit by the shake attack.- If slubling pressure is too high, then Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark in
勇气圣书 can reduce it, though some slubling attacks are unblockable.
For more information, see our Slothasor Guide.
Bandit Trio
"坚守阵地!" is worth taking to reduce general annoyance from the various bandit CCs.
For more information, see our Bandit Trio Guide.
Matthias Gabrel
- You can be the group's primary reflect if you bring
反射之墙. Note that you must place the wall inside Matthias' hitbox, or the targeted person will need to remain still in order to ensure all the shards are reflected correctly. - if you are not the main reflect, you can be a backup by using Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark in
勇气圣书. - If your group's CC is bad, take
庇护之地 to easily break the sacrifice. Matthias will no longer try to sacrifice players in the abomination phase, so you can use it to block the Shards of Rage attack instead (make sure not the block the bubble attack). - Matthias will
恐惧 the whole squad when transitioning into the abomination phase. If it's available, enter
勇气圣书 and apply as much
稳固 and
决心 to your group as possible to protect against this.
For more information, see our Matthias Gabrel Guide.
Stronghold of the Faithful
Escort
"坚守阵地!" is worth taking to reduce general annoyance from the various White Mantle CCs.
For more information, see our Escort Guide.
Keep Construct

净化火焰 after the orb collecting phase and drop it on the group and KC when it starts using phantasmal blades to cleanse the
困惑 and
折磨 from your subgroup.
For more information, see our Keep Construct Guide.
Twisted Castle
"坚守阵地!" is worth taking to reduce general annoyance from the various White Mantle CCs.
For more information, see our Twisted Castle Guide.

决心圣书 during the split phase and on the "puzzle islands" to clear condis, provide
迅捷, and keep everyone alive. - You can help clear shards with
惩戒符印 without having to run into the AoEs.
For more information, see our Xera Guide.
Bastion of the Penitent
Cairn the Indomitable
Mursaat Overseer
For more information, see our Mursaat Overseer Guide.
Samarog
- Epilogue Eternal Oasis Epilogue Eternal Oasis in
决心圣书 can be dropped on the target of Brutalize to boost healing to them during the break bar. - If your group's CC is lacking, you can bring
庇护之地. Try to drop it on the target of Brutalize to provide some incidental healing as well as CC.
For more information, see our Samarog Guide.
Deimos
- When blocking Mind Crush rather than hiding in the dome, you will take ticking damage for 10 seconds afterwards, so
决心圣书 will be useful to keep people alive. - If you are responsible for
圣盾 then you need to take
"前进!" as the duration and AoE are much larger.
光芒锁链 can be used to Immobilize Immobilize Prides to keep them away from Saul.
For more information, see our Deimos Guide.
Hall of Chains
Soulless Horror
- Make sure not to pull the Tormented Dead into the group with
燃焰利刃. - After the Tormented Dead has been knocked, you can use
光芒锁链 to keep it Immobilize Immobilized at range.

庇护之地 to help.
For more information, see our Soulless Horror Guide.

For more information, see our Conjured Amalgamate Guide.
Sorting and Appraisal
For more information, see our Sorting and Appraisal Guide.
Largos Assassins
- As it's hard to maintain DPS during Nikare's charge, use
决心圣书 or
勇气圣书 to heal and clear condis, or provide extra toughness and
保护. - The breakbar attack fires out projectiles than can be blocked with Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark.
- The Largos are Exposed Exposed for eight seconds after being broken, so it may be beneficial to try your burst to coincide with this - if you enter your tome as the breakbar appears this should be approximately the correct timing.
For more information, see our Largos Assassins Guide.
Qadim
燃焰利刃 can be used to pull Magma Elementals (either into the group or away, depending on strategy).- If the squad is really struggling to prevent the Lava Elementals from reaching Qadim, you could consider bringing
庇护之地 as this will prevent them from being able to enter his hitbox for five seconds. Be aware that this will also push Magma Elementals out, so be very careful when you use it.
For more information, see our Qadim Guide.
The Key of Ahdashim
Cardinal Sabir
庇护之地 is a good choice here as Sabir cannot be damaged during one of his defiance bars, so breaking it quickly is a group DPS increase.
专注复苏 will allow you to invuln through some shockwaves and hold on to the damage buff.
For more information, see our Cardinal Sabir Guide.
Cardinal Adina
- Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark Chapter 3: Valiant Bulwark in
勇气圣书 can be used to protect against the hand knockback in the split phase by camping the tome to keep using it. Note that
勇气圣书 will not be up for every split phase (unless you are very slow) so you will either need to alternate with another player, or just keep it as a backup.
For more information, see our Cardinal Adina Guide.
Qadim the Peerless
- If the group lacks another source of
稳固, you should bring
"坚守阵地!" to protect everyone from the knock-back attack at the start of each phase.
For more information, see our Qadim the Peerless Guide.
