Soulbeast - Poisonbeast

• Quick Shot makes you leap back a bit, which is not ideal when your goal is to move forward faster. To fix this you should consider using the keybind for "about face" in order to perform a 180 degree turn before using this skill, then turn back around again at the end of the leap.

Damage

• Playstyle: there aren't any key rotations or combos you need to know for this one, only a few high priority skills to use after CCs. Use CCs to set up burst and play defensively when those aren't available.

• The basic gameplan is simple: CC targets with 致残射击, 震荡射击 (from behind or the sides), 跌跌撞撞 and 蛮力冲锋 then spam as many weapon skills on them as possible + the Bee's 叮刺之痛 and 原始怒吼.

  • Use the immob from 致残射击 to root targets into stronger CCs like 震荡射击.

• Merging with the Bee increases your condition damage. Always merge when you're doing bursts.

• Bee's merged F3 原始怒吼 is your best burst skill. It's both a good followup to CC and potentially also a CC source with 嘲讽 at the end of the cast if 蛮兽监守 isn't on cooldown. Use it as often as you can, and protect the cast with 稳固 if necessary.

  • This skill works outside of melee range, making it your most threatening ranged ability that could be used from a safe distance. You could even use it behind walls and pillars to hit enemies on the other side!

• Bee's merged F2 叮刺之痛 is quite a strong skill too, but has quite a long cast time. Both other Bee skills could be used for the CCs to set this up.

• On bow spamming 左右开弓 from range is a decent filler, especially from behind. Many shortbow skills have increased effectiveness when striking from behind or the sides.

• 毒箭连射 is a cone-shaped attack and should be used in melee range (point-blank) to ensure that all the projectiles hit the main target. This is your highest damage attack on bow, and fits really well into burst combos because of the low cast time, even if the target got out of the CC.

• Dagger/Dagger is filled with fire-and-forget skills that don't require much thought. There are only a few things to note:

  • 直觉交战 is a good opener at the start of burst combos. The 急速 makes it easier to pull off skills with long cast times.
  • 双重弧光 will buff your attacks if used in Beastmode.
  • If you want to use offensively, use it after or a CC. That way you'll apply more stacks.
  • is the only ranged skill on this set and can be used for some ranged poking if you're stuck on D/D but don't want to go into melee.

Burst combo examples

These are merely supposed to give you some ideas, the combos in the build are rather flexible and not set in stone. Just try to maximize CC duration while spamming high damage attacks on enemies and weave in skills with evade frames when they escape the CC.

Wolf + Shortbow

1. 蛮力冲锋 to knock down the target.
2. Optional - Swap pets in Beastmode with F4 (Eternal Bond), you'll gain better offensive stats.
3. 毒箭连射 in melee range.
4. 致残射击 from behind.
5. 震荡射击 from behind.
6. 原始怒吼 (if you're on Bee)

Bee

1. Start in Beastmode on Bee.
2. 跌跌撞撞 to apply CC.
3. 原始怒吼 for conditions and to 嘲讽 at the end.
4. 叮刺之痛 while the Taunt lasts.
5. 毒箭连射 as a quick followup with high damage.

Sustain

• You're heavily reliant on CC, evasion and mobility to avoid taking damage. Stance skills and "快保护我！" are there to let you fix some mistakes and patch gaps in your defenses. Once stance CDs have been used you should play much more carefully as you could become an easy target.

  • "快保护我！" and 无畏坚韧 can be used more freely for damage mitigation while other stunbreaks such as Dolyak Stance are available. If only one of these skills is available, keep it for emergencies to serve as a stunbreak.

• Both weapon sets and both pets provide ways to avoid damage (not even counting all the CC):

  • Dagger 4 has an evade frame on 追猎之击.
  • Shortbow has an evade frame on 腾挪速射.
  • Bee is more offensive but still has 跌跌撞撞, which is a rather lengthy CC. It's also a mobility skill you could use to run away.
  • Alpine Wolf has 无畏坚韧 to help you mitigate incoming damage.

• Dodging applies 保护, which also heals thanks to the trait 粗糙生长. When playing with Nature Magic, dodging also removes 1 condition.

• Fern Hound's kit serves as your 2nd healing skill. This pet is especially good at disengaging and reseting fights - you can use 致残跃击 to run away, cast 灵魂舒缓 in a safe position and then follow up with 再生之音.

  • You can umerge while casting 灵魂舒缓 and it'll still go off, while being able to make the pet cast 再生之音 sooner.

• If taken Wolf's 无畏坚韧 is perhaps the most powerful defensive skill in the build. It breaks stuns, grants immunity to direct damage and even cleanses some conditions.

• 石牦牛姿态 is useful in just about any situation. It mitigates both conditon and strike damage, makes you immune to any form of CC, and even cleanses some conditions.

• Condition cleansing is rather limited. 熊灵姿态 is more of a last resort for when you've taken too much damage and need to survive. Under heavy pressure use the time while your healing skill is active to disengage and reset fights using your mobility skills.

• is basically an extra dodge which improves your endurance regen so you can avoid even more attacks right after. Great skill when you're being pressured and need to play more defensively.

• grants and as has no cast time, this can be used even while CC'd in order to survive enemy burst!
