Utility

For the optional slot:

  • 召唤血肉地虫 图标召唤血肉地虫 - even better mobility + a stunbreak.

  • 无知试剂 图标无知试剂 - low CD stunbreak with 抗性 图标抗性 access which makes it easier to pressure targets that rely on conditions such as 目盲 图标目盲 or 虚弱 图标虚弱 to survive.

  • 鬼灵圆环 图标鬼灵圆环 - added AoE 保护 图标保护 and CC and with 恐惧 图标恐惧. Good for kiting or teamfights.

  • 黑暗法池 图标黑暗法池 - works both as a defensive and offensive skill.

  • 腐化法池 图标腐化法池 - decent AoE damage and more boon corruption. Mostly offensive but also has some defensive value, as it can transform boons like 威能 图标威能 and 激怒 图标激怒 into 虚弱 图标虚弱 and 目盲 图标目盲, significantly lowering the damage your opponent can do.

Weapons

  • Sword/Sword over Staff - the older version still works, trading group utility and healing for better mobility. Take 血库 图标血库 on Blood Magic.

Usage

Elite specialization basics

  • 先驱帷幕 图标先驱帷幕 doesn't replace your health bar! Unlike other Necromancer shrouds, Harbinger Shroud can't be used to soak up damage, which makes this spec more squishy by default.

  • You can enter shroud even with no Life Force, but staying inside still drains your LF each interval.

General

  • Role: roam the map looking to +1 fights, decap, and occasionally duel. Your AoE damage isn't great in teamfights and you're way too squishy to survive in melee against multiple opponents.

  • Entering 先驱帷幕 图标先驱帷幕 gives you life force, so start dropping in/out of shroud the moment the game starts (before you'd even leave spawn) and keep doing it even out of combat for the rest of the match for free LF (and mobility from skills 3-4).

  • Your elite is both defensive and offensive, dealing decent damage while applying defensive boons.

Damage

  • Spear and shroud are your main sources of damage, your second set fills more of a utility role and is often used for survival.

  • Spear has it own unique mechanic: soul shards. 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔 (skill #2) spends them, skills 3-5 build them. The cap is 6 soul shards.

  • Leaving shroud resets the CD of Spear's 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝, and Isolate's chain skill 悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝 refreshes the CD of 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔. This will always give you an option to do good followup bursts after leaving shroud, or to chase down targets (shroud already has good mobility, and you can teleport to targets struck by the ranged Isolate).

  • 黑暗弹幕 图标黑暗弹幕 is best used in melee range where all of the projectiles hit your main target.

  • 致命抽取 图标致命抽取 is an excellent setup for burst combos as it's quite a long CC.

    • Follow up with any other shroud skill except for 贪食跃冲 图标贪食跃冲 as that one dazes targets and could therefore stunbreak your enemies. It's still good to use near the end of Vital Draw.

  • 污浊弹矢 图标污浊弹矢 (shroud auto) can do a lot of damage with 急速 图标急速 and makes for a great filler skill if you're out of CDs or don't want to go into melee.

  • 勇气试剂 图标勇气试剂 does decent AoE damage too. While this could act as a ranged skill, you need to be inside the landing area if you want to get the boons from it.

Burst combo examples

Shroud combo:

  1. 吞噬切割 图标吞噬切割 to get into melee range.
  2. 贪食跃冲 图标贪食跃冲 to deliver damage while avoiding incoming attacks and dazing the target, making it harder for them to prevent the next step of the chain. It's also yet another mobility skill in case you were still not in melee range.
  3. 致命抽取 图标致命抽取 for CC.
  4. 黑暗弹幕 图标黑暗弹幕 at point-blank range for maximum effectiveness.
  5. 污浊弹矢 图标污浊弹矢 spam.

Spear combo:

  1. Optional: if you're on Sword, use 吞噬面容 图标吞噬面容 for the ranged 恐惧 图标恐惧 and immediately swap weapons. This will make it easier to land the next skill.
  2. 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝 from range.
  3. Cast 斩草除根 图标斩草除根 from a safe distance.
  4. Teleport in with 悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝 as Extirpate's cast bar is starting to fill up. Your goal is to hit the target right after using Distress.
  5. Optional: 腐坏纷争 图标腐坏纷争 for Immobilize Immobilize
  6. 千疮百孔 图标千疮百孔 with max soul shards.

Sustain

  • Whether you've picked Staff or Sword/Sword for the second set, this is your defensive weapon slot. Staff provides healing on every skills whereas Sword makes you better at kiting enemies.

  • Important mobility skills:

    • Sword: 暴食征途 图标暴食征途 and 暴殄天物 图标暴殄天物. Note: when you're using these out of combat, swap weapons just before Gorge ends. This prevents Gorge from putting you in combat with the health sacrifice and slowing you down.
    • Shroud: 吞噬切割 图标吞噬切割 and 贪食跃冲 图标贪食跃冲 (VA also evades attacks which is especially nice while you're Immobilized and can't dodge)
    • Utility: 鬼灵影步 图标鬼灵影步 and 召唤血肉地虫 图标召唤血肉地虫
    • We could also list Spear's 悲痛欲绝 图标悲痛欲绝 (chain of skill #4), but it can't really be used for escaping (long cast time on 与世隔绝 图标与世隔绝 + requires a secondary target to port to other than the enemy who's chasing you).

  • Other than mobility, your main line of defense is 先驱帷幕 图标先驱帷幕. Entering shroud cleanses conditions while giving you 稳固 图标稳固 as well as damage reduction + a 虚弱 图标虚弱 proc on enemies. If you're being focused, entering shroud just for damage reduction/cleansing and to use the 2 mobility skills before dropping out of shroud is a perfectly fine thing to do.

  • Condi cleansing is mainly limited to shroud, 腐烂印记 图标腐烂印记 and 福佑试剂 图标福佑试剂.

  • 鬼灵影步 图标鬼灵影步 (SW) is great for preventing condition pressure from ramping up on you. Activating its chain skill which "ends" Spectral Walk does not stop the cleansing. This skill has many uses, for example:

    • Activate SW ⇒ jump off a cliff while being chased ⇒ 鬼灵逆行 图标鬼灵逆行 when your enemies jump after you.
    • Activate SW ⇒ 暗蚀传越 图标暗蚀传越 (Flesh Wurm skill) ⇒ teleport back when they catch up to you. This works for stomping downed enemies as well, the channeling isn't interrupted by either of these teleports!

  • 召唤血肉地虫 图标召唤血肉地虫 should be placed well before entering combat, preferably at a spot where your enemies can't reach it easily. Wurm provides you with an escape route and makes it easier to move around the map in general.
