Mirage - Alacrity Support Condi DPS

Weapon Variants

• You can run Staff in both sets for a greatly simplified rotation, but at a significant DPS loss.
• Running a Focus instead of a Torch generates more if you're able to consistently get the 幻影守望 to combo with an ethereal or smoke field. The phantasm will not prioritise your own fields however, so this may be ineffective if your group is dropping a lot of "bad" combo fields (such as light or water fields).

Skill Variants

• 斥力穹窿 over 支配纹章 if you need reflects.

• No boon duration is required to maintain 敏捷.

Non-SotO Relics

荆棘古物 is generally the best core relic for condi builds, but it won't trigger on encounters where you're not taking damage from the boss. In such cases, you could consider other options:

• 幻象术士古物 - depending on the boss, you might be able to trigger this a lot, and it is theoretically stronger than the recommended relic.
• 耐久古物 - 再生 is very important thanks to 混沌执念, so this can help with the uptime somewhat.

Food

• 芦笋肉串

Utility

• 协调冰柱 or 强效大师调谐水晶

A big part of this rotation is maximising the uptime of Chaos Armor for 幻象防护. This can be applied with 混乱护甲, 挫败之吼, or by leaping in an ethereal field:

• Ethereal Fields: 混乱风暴, and the Lesser Chaos Storm triggered by 伪装绿洲 (via 疯狂法则)
• Leap Finishers: 对称利斧 and 远行

Staff/Staff Rotation

Dune Cloak Rotation

General Tips

• Make sure to collect the s from and for extra casts of .
• Dodge as much as possible while leaving yourself endurance to evade attacks. Be sure to only weapon swap when below 50% endurance so as not to waste any of the endurance gained from .
• and can be cast during other skills' channels.
• If using , make sure to never use during ambushes as this will create new clones due to and will cancel the clone attacks.
• and have the same cooldown, so you may find it easy to always use after shattering for clone recovery.
• is a DPS loss if used regularly in your rotation, so is only used for the clones it generates.

A condition DPS Mirage build that also provides permanent and a bit of and by spamming ambush skills and shatters.

It excels against bosses that attack a lot due to a large portion of its damage coming from . It is also highly survivable and can easily avoid boss attacks because it is in for most of its rotation. Also incidentally small amounts of , and to party members through .

Opener

1. 幻影术士
2. 相位撤退
3. 远行
4. 伪装绿洲
5. 水晶沙尘
6. Dodge and cast 混沌漩涡
7. 混乱风暴
8. 挫败之吼 just before your Phantasms transform into clones (approximately 4 seconds after your cast 幻影术士)
9. 远行 to regain your third clone

Rest of the Rotation

After the opener above you want to be dodging as often as you can to trigger 混沌漩涡.

• Try to cast 挫败之吼 off cooldown, and immediately recover three clones.
  • The best way to recover clones on this build is using 相位撤退, then immediately using 远行 back into position and casting either 伪装绿洲 or 水晶沙尘.
  • It is worth slightly delaying skills that generate clones in order to guarantee you can get back to three as soon as possible.
• Use 混乱风暴 off cooldown.
• Use 混乱护甲 off cooldown.
• Use 水晶沙尘 off cooldown.
  • Be mindful of your where you place the 幻象之镜, as you will want to be able to access them later.
  • The 幻象之镜 spawns in the center of the skill's AoE marker.
• Keep a charge or two of 远行 for mobility or in case you run out of clones for some reason.

Throughout the rotation, you should use 远行. It's worth using for the damage alone, but the real value is that thanks to 自欺欺人, it will generate an extra clone (provided you already have at least one). This allows you to reliably trigger 沙丘遮隐, and can also be used as a source of 混乱护甲.

Whenever Shatter is listed, use whichever is available with the following priority:
