Overview
A power DPS Holosmith build for fractals and raids. This build brings extremely high burst and sustained AoE damage, as well as heavy CC and
易伤.
While this build deals good damage on its own, it excels when there are lots of conditions on the boss for
弹药改装.

Usage
The logic behind this rotation is to maximize your Photon Forge and
激光利刃 uptime. First you build heat in Photon Forge with
电晕爆炸,
光子闪击, and autoattack chains. After you overheat, you use your highest damage skills together with
太阳聚镜, then fill with your high damage skills such as
破片手雷. Rinse and repeat when Photon Forge is available again.

Simple Photon Forge Rotation
This is the easier Photon Forge rotation and applicable to all bosses.
Delayed Overheat Rotation
This is an alternate Photon Forge rotation which aims to use
电晕爆炸 3 times before overheating. You leave Photon Forge mid way through to get in an extra cast of your non-Photon Forge DPS skills.
This rotation is a DPS increase in long phases or bosses that don't have phases. However, it's more dependent on quickness and alacrity uptime.

Notes
- Never interrupt your Photon Forge autoattack chain.
- In real fights you will want to time your
过热 based on the encounter. Overheating provides a lot of burst damage, but it will also deal damage to yourself.
- If a burst damage phase is about to come up, it's worth tweaking your rotation or using extra Photon Forge skills like
全息震波 so you will be at 75% heat when the phase arrives. This lets you do your opening rotation and overheat for high burst damage. - If you are low on health or if the burst damage will be wasted, you should
停止光子熔炉 and fill with your normal DPS skills similar to the "Delayed Overheat Rotation" listed above.
- If a burst damage phase is about to come up, it's worth tweaking your rotation or using extra Photon Forge skills like
- Use
超级炸弹 and
手雷弹幕 in place of an autoattack chain whenever possible.
剑刃爆发 should be used off cooldown, as long as you're above 51 heat. Try to stand inside the boss' hitbox when you cast this, to ensure all projectiles hit the boss.

Encounter Specific Tips
Spirit Vale
Vale Guardian
- You can help to push away seekers with
过载射击 and immobilize them with
捕网射击.
超级炸弹 will also knock all seekers away. - Vale Guardian's breakbars happen on a predictable schedule so memorize them, save your CC, and precast
超级炸弹 for them. - If you get ported use
全息跳跃 to quickly get back to the group.
自动除颤 can be used to survive failed greens.
Gorseval the Multifarious
Sabetha the Saboteur
- Use
烟雾弹 and
闪光手雷 to blind the adds during the flamewall attack so they don't get a chance at knocking one of your allies into the flames.
全息震波 is also worth using to keep the adds chain CCed. - You can use
跳跃射击 to move around faster if you're on cannon duty. You can also use
全息跳跃 but make sure you don't target Sabetha or one of the adds.
Salvation Pass
Stronghold of the Faithful
Siege the Stronghold (Escort)
Keep Construct
- Save your damaging skills and precast your heat to 75% for maximum damage during the burst phase.
治疗炮台 is useful for keeping everyone above 90% during the burst phase.
Xera
Bastion of the Penitent
Samarog
Deimos
Hall of Chains
Mythwright Gambit
Conjured Amalgamate
Fractals

潜行机械 and
S型试剂 for stealth during the jumping sections. You can also bring a shield for blocks and reflects. - The lasers in the tunnel count as projectiles, so if you're having trouble you can bring a shield to block or reflect them. You can also slot
工具包 for
齿盾. - You can dodge while pulling the switches after the laser tunnel. This means you can dodge from one switch to another, pulling both of them.
- After Old Tom it's possible to skip past the last jumping puzzle section. Go to the platform beneath the final encounter and jump up the incline with
跳跃射击. Once you're at the top your party can /gg and respawn above.
Solid Ocean
- Don't go into Photon Forge here as you can't pick up the crystals while in Photon Forge.
- You can blind the tentacles to avoid their knockdown attack.
Underground Facility
- Swap to Scrapper and use
潜行机械 to stealth the switches at the beginning. - Precast heat to 75% before you hit the final boss for maximum burst damage.
Cliffside

- You can use
烟雾弹 to blind adds.
Thaumanova Reactor

跳跃射击,
火箭飞靴,

自动除颤 when you're low on health. - At the end of the heat room or the maze, equip
医疗包 to self-cleanse the immobilize and pull both switches by yourself.

Twilight Oasis
Chaos

- Your CC contribution is very high for a DPS. Don't be afraid to interrupt your DPS rotation to CC whenever a breakbar is up.
- Precast your
超级炸弹 to break defiance bars whenever possible. - If the chrono and warrior are on point with CC, you can save your CC to interrupt Ensolyss mid-stomp.
Shattered Observatory
- Note that
跳跃射击 is a DPS loss in this fractal due to the low gravity, and should only be used to reposition. - Precast your
超级炸弹 to break defiance bars whenever possible. - Your CC is important during Viirastra/Artsariiv's split phase so make sure you're going around killing clones.
- When Arkk's fear is up, you can hit behind yourself with grenades and bombs.
