Detailed Explanations

Damage

  • Almost all of your damage comes from 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 which can be activated by your Dodge Dodge
    • Target enemies at the back of their group to maximize pierce damage
  • Since your clones trigger 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 via 无限视界 图标无限视界 it is important to maintain as many as possible as often as possible
  • There is a 1s cooldown on 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 that begins at the end of the cast, wait until after the cast is finished to Dodge Dodge and proc another ambush.
    • Outside of this limitation and creating clones, Dodge Dodge to proc 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 as often as possible
    • You can weave other skills such as 心灵穿刺 图标心灵穿刺 in during this 1s CD
  • Weapon Swap Weapon Swap off cooldown when your energy is below 50% to proc 超级能量法印 图标超级能量法印
  • Be aware that 超级精力法印 图标超级精力法印 will proc on any kill you've tagged, don't waste other endurance generation if you can see it will proc soon
  • Your standard burst is 双面镜像 图标双面镜像Dodge Dodge分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流
    • 双面镜像 图标双面镜像 can be used to focus all of your clones onto one target for heavy burst
  • 伪装绿洲 图标伪装绿洲 leaves behind a Mirage Mirror that activates 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 if you move into it
    • Since the mirror spawns on a fairly long delay this will rarely be applicable, but walk over it if it isn't out of the way
  • 心灵粉碎 图标心灵粉碎 is good damage if you're in melee, but avoid moving in just to cast it since your damage will be higher keeping clones alive for 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流
Damage priority

Clone Management

  • Your normal clone generation through 镜像飞刃 图标镜像飞刃 and 幻影狂战 图标幻影狂战 is unreliable for this build since those skills summon clones close to the targeted enemy. Instead you'll rely mainly on 双面镜像 图标双面镜像, 欺诈闪避 图标欺诈闪避, and 自欺欺人 图标自欺欺人
    • Use 镜像飞刃 图标镜像飞刃 and 幻影狂战 图标幻影狂战 when your other clone generation isn't available and you aren't at 2 or more clones already
  • Clones summoned by 欺诈闪避 图标欺诈闪避 will immediately use 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流, so avoid creating a third clone before using your Dodge Dodge when possible
  • Using your Shatter skills will almost never add damage compared to leaving clones alive
    • The exceptions are if you are about you cast 双面镜像 图标双面镜像 or you're in melee and they're about to die anyway
  • Use 远行 图标远行 as an instant cast clone generator via 自欺欺人 图标自欺欺人
  • 伪装绿洲 图标伪装绿洲 can also be used for clone generation, but only use it in-between 分裂涌流 图标分裂涌流 casts or if you otherwise have downtime.
