Stability
- Apply 稳固 before allies get caught by enemy CC
- When using "坚守阵地！" cover the application by applying other boons immediately after the cast
- 慰藉咒语 is ideal for this
- Avoid overlapping multiple 稳固 sources on your party, both your own and other players
- The final charge of 自由咒语 is very powerful, but should be conserved for use when all other 稳固 are expended
- Enemy CC is most likely to land when they spike your group, your group is moving through theirs, or your group is moving away from theirs.
Stability priority
-
"坚守阵地！"
- 勇气圣书 + Epilogue Unbroken Lines Epilogue Unbroken Lines
神圣之地 - if applicable-
自由咒语
Stunbreaking
- 自由咒语 is your group stunbreak, use its charges very carefully - the cooldown is too long to waste them
- Allies are most likely to be CCed at the same times they need 稳固 or while they are the focus target.
- Turn your camera, make use of a “Look Behind” keybind and listen to voice communications to pay attention to caught allies.
- Give them additional support after stunbreaking as needed
Signet of Mercy
Signet of Mercy
- Watch for low allied health bars to enable precasting (Using the skill before an ally is downed so that it finishes casting on them as soon as they do go down)
- Give yourself quickness with 慰藉咒语 before beginning the cast
- Cover the cast with 稳固 ("坚守阵地！" or 自由咒语 only - the others are too slow)
- Make sure to communicate over voice comms. Broadcast that you are beginning, casting and finishing the rez, include the name of the person being rezzed if possible.
- If another player with a higher priority calls they are rezzing at the same time, cancel the rez (“Stow Weapon” keybind or Escape button while in a Tome skill) and communicate the fact you are cancelling.
Damage
- Start fights on Scepter/Torch to use
惩戒符印 (and 
净化烈焰 if in range) before swapping to Mace/Shield - The majority of your damage comes from 迸裂圣盾 and 愤怒侵染
- The other way you proc 愤怒侵染 is with your ground AoEs:
信仰符印, 惩戒符印, 
净化火焰 and Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath Chapter 4 Scorched Aftermath - Epilogue Ashes of the Just Epilogue Ashes of the Just can be used right before your group engages to increase the spike
Settings
- Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
- Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
- Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
- Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
