Specializations

Variants

  • The damage from 愤怒侵染 图标愤怒侵染 could easily overwhelm an entire enemy team if they ball up (for example if they are rezing their downed teammate) as its AoE damage scales with the number of targets. Taking this trait however leaves you without a stunbreak, which could force you to drop 净化火焰 图标净化火焰 to pick up something like 裁决干涉 图标裁决干涉 or 裁决纹章 图标裁决纹章. If you're cutting out PF then you should also take 潜在决心 图标潜在决心 for the first slot of Virtues.

Equipment

Equipment Variants

Sigils

  • 洁净法印 图标洁净法印 over Doom - better defense against incoming conditions at the expense of damage and condi variety.

Usage

General

  • Your role is to rotate where the teamfight is and keep doing heavy AoE damage.

  • This PvP build lacks toughness, so it may seem pretty squishy at first. Good situational awareness and proper use of CDs distinguish a good Condi Guardian from a dead one.

  • 正义美德 图标正义美德 (F1) does most of the damage. You want to keep the passive effect most of the time and only use the active when you know your opponent can't cleanse it or when you need a quick burst to secure a kill.

    • When you kill an opponent 正义复兴 图标正义复兴 recharges your F1 back, so always use this skill when an enemy is about to be finished off (preferably in range of your temmates because the active can be shared with allies).
    • Using the F1 too early is a bit risky because then you're going to do next to no damage until it recharges.
  • 复仇之盾 图标复仇之盾 can be used both offensively and defensively, it's one of your strongest skills. When used at the right moment, you can protect your team or yourself by destroying projectiles and mitigating strike damage through 虚弱 图标虚弱. The Weakness could also act as a cover condition for bursts.

  • 正义之剑 图标正义之剑 is not easy to place well, it might take some practice. Try placing it in a way that it either covers most of the capture point, hits multiple targets, or forces others to dodge through it at a chokepoint. When you're being focused try casting it under your feet so that enemies who attack you like Thieves have to either facetank your damage or disengage.

  • 净化火焰 图标净化火焰 is by far your strongest ability, and you have to be especially careful with where you place it. You can use it to rid your team of conditions, pressure multiple opponents or cleave downed enemies.
