This build was last updated on April 12, 2025 and is up to date for the June 2, 2026 patch.
Overview
A condi Herald build that provides permanent 
急速, 
激怒, 
迅捷 (optional), 
再生 (optional), high 
保护, and around 23 
威能 to its subgroup. It also provides 
自然多面体, increasing boon duration while channelling Glint.
It can also provide other utilities depending on the second Legend chosen, such as 
稳固 or damage reduction, though this a more significant damage loss than it would be for the power build.

- Your second Legend defaults to
传奇恶魔姿态. Read the Legends section below to see other alternatives.
Weapon Variants
Mace/Axe, Shortbow and Spear are all very close to each other in terms of damage, and can be mixed and matched depending on your preferences:
- Spear/Spear has the highest potential DPS and is perhaps the easiest weapon set to do well on, but unlocking the full potential requires more precision than other options, as well as having forced movement. It also requires slightly different sigils.
- Spear & Mace/Axe can deal almost as much damage as Spear/Spear but has a faster ramp and more structure.
- For players that don't own Janthir Wilds, the best weapons are Mace/Axe and Shortbow. It ramps at a similar speed to Spear & Mace/Axe, but has lower long-term damage.
- Spear & Shortbow is the lowest damage of all the options, but comes with the advantage that both weapon sets are fully ranged and it still ramps faster than Spear/Spear.
Specializations
- For the Spear/Spear rotation
地狱酷寒 performs slightly better.
Equipment
- This setup has ~35% boon duration without the need to invest into any concentration.
- 急速 uptime is quite tight with this amount, so feel free to swap in as many Ritualist stats Ritualist stats pieces as are needed to make it permanent.
- You can tank by swapping some pieces to Celestial stats Celestial stats.
- If using Mace/Axe & Shortbow, it is important that the
超级折磨法印 is on the Mace/Axe set, as this section of the rotation is slightly longer which makes triggering it three times per loop more reliable. - If using Spear/Spear, replace the
超级大地法印 with a 
超级恶魔法印 and pair this Spear with 传奇恶魔姿态.
Equipment Variants
Rune Variants
- Many of the popular
敏捷 providers also some 威能, but in the event this is not the case, you could use 
超级望族符文 to gain an extra ~5 stacks of might generation.
Consumables
Food
Utility
Usage
Quickness
You apply 急速 through the trait 
高尚慈悲. This pulses healing and 急速 whenever you are using upkeep energy of six or above. Fortunately, all of your non-
传奇巨龙姿态 legends have a skill that uses exactly six. Thus while in these legends you want to maintain the skill in question for almost the entire time. Glint is a little trickier as all the skills use upkeep, but 
混沌多面体 and 自然多面体 combined are six energy, so these two are maintained together.
Swiftness
By default, the rotations below only generate ~35% 迅捷 uptime. To provide more, you need to skip the first use of 
元素轰击 and maintain 
元素多面体 while on 传奇巨龙姿态 (you should still use 元素轰击 before swapping legend). You may need to toggle off 
黑暗多面体 early to ensure you have enough energy for weapon skills.
Alternatively, as 迅捷 is not stripped at the start of encounters, you can make sure to channel 元素多面体 before the fight starts. If you manage to start with 60s, you should be able to maintain it for a further two minutes without compromising your damage, or even longer if there are split phases in which to refresh it.
Legends
-
传奇巨龙姿态 - absolutely key to the build, this is your source of almost all your non- 急速 boons. It's 自然多面体—Dragon increases the duration of boons your subgroup provides by 20%. Note this effect does not actually increase Concentration, it increases Boon Duration (and is not shown in the Hero Panel), so a build with this effect and 100% Boon Duration would provide boons lasting 120% longer.
-
传奇恶魔姿态 is by far the highest DPS legend, and also offers a pull with
苦痛召唤 which may be useful when fighting trash mobs if your group does not have pulls.- It can also be used in fractals to remove the boons from No Pain, No Gain if no-one else is able to.
Other legends are a significant DPS loss, and will leave you doing less damage than the power build taking the same legend.
-
传奇矮人姿态 is a significant DPS loss. You can provide 稳固 through 
稳固激发, CC through 
强制束缚, and reduce personal incoming strike and condition damage by 20% with 
复仇之锤. If needed, it can also reduce incoming strike damage to your subgroup by 50% with 
崇高矮人. This legend is much easier to bring on the power build, as it loses much less damage. -
传奇半人马姿态 is an extremely niche option. It is a massive DPS loss that should only be taken if your group desperately needs projectile block through 
慰藉屏护. It also offers condition cleanse through 
净化精华, CC through 
能量爆发, and a very weak heal through 自然多面体—Centaur. -
传奇刺客姿态 provides personal mobility through 
位面穿行 and 
压倒优势, and CC through 
翠玉风暴. It has no real use in combat, but could be used in between encounters.
Spear & Mace Axe Rotation
Opener
Start on Mace/Axe and 传奇巨龙姿态 with 
力量多面体, 元素多面体 and 黑暗多面体 active.
- 自然多面体 ⇒
真正本质 - make sure the boonstrip at the start of an encounter has already happened 
圣光多面体 (optional) - this allows a few extra pulses of 急速 but to ensure you have enough energy for the whole opener you should be at 50+ energy-

-
深渊原力

Mace/Axe
The stronger effect of 拥抱黑暗 can only be activated once per pulse, so the first auto chain is split up to ensure that pulses aren't wasted. This requires precision to avoid either cancelling 
悲惨横扫 or delaying your legend swap, so it may be better in practise not to worry about it.

Spear Rotation
Click to view
The concept of Spear is rather simple. All your Spear skills reduce the cooldown of 深渊毁灭, which in turn is your most powerful ability.
The gist of the rotation is then to use 深渊原力 and 深渊霹雳 off cooldown, and spam 深渊毁灭 with your remaining energy (while also providing boons).
If using two spears, start on the set with 
超级厄运法印 and 
超级地能法印. If not using, just ignore any weapon swaps.
Opener
Start on Glint and Shortbow with 力量多面体, 元素多面体 and 黑暗多面体 active:
Mallyx
Activate 拥抱黑暗 as soon as you enter this legend, then Weapon Swap Weapon Swap.
The pulsing damage of 拥抱黑暗 is boosted when a skill is used, though this effect can only be activated once per pulse. A single autoattack is added after key skills to ensure that pulses aren't wasted. This requires precision to avoid either cancelling 
深渊打击, so if it may work out better to just use abilities as fast as you can.
Energy is tighter on this legend, so use 深渊毁灭 a maximum of two times if 深渊霹雳 will come off cooldown while on it.
Glint
When 传奇巨龙姿态 is available:
Activate 混沌多面体 3-4 seconds into this legend, along with 黑暗多面体 if you need to provide 激怒, or 自然多面体 otherwise. If using 自然多面体 here, just activate 混沌多面体 when 自然多面体 comes off cooldown.
Use spear skills as normal, and as 元素多面体 and 力量多面体 come off cooldown:
- 黑暗多面体 ⇒
黑暗凝视 (optional) - quickly using this skill allows you to provide a small amount of 激怒 while still benefitting from Facet of Nature - 真正本质 - if you weren't already maintaining this, flip it on and immediately consume
- 元素多面体 ⇒ 元素轰击
- 力量多面体 ⇒ 力量爆发
-
传奇恶魔姿态
Your spear skills have higher value when used on Mallyx, so don't delay your legend swap.

The stronger effect of 拥抱黑暗 can only be activated once per pulse, so single autoattacks are used between skills to ensure that pulses aren't wasted. This requires precision to avoid either cancelling skills or delaying your legend swap, so it may be better in practise not to worry about it.
