Detailed Explanations

Siege Disruptors

  • Siege Disruptor Siege Disruptor reduce the damage of enemy siege by 66% and increase damage taken by 66%
  • Use of disruptors is mainly relevant to defenders, siege is unlikely to be in a place you can target with them as an attacker
  • As long as you can do so without dying, your highest priority should be throwing disruptors at any siege you want to 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 before moving to a safe place
  • Disruptors are unblockable except by the bubbles created by catapult mastery
    • The radius of a disruptor is larger than the bubble created by catapults, target catas with the outer edge of the targeting ring to avoid it
  • Use 石牦牛姿态 图标石牦牛姿态 to protect yourself when throwing a disruptor

Barrage

  • Since 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 doesn't require LoS to the target you can position yourself behind total cover from the enemy, don't stand on a wall unless you need to
  • Keybind and use Snap Ground Target or Toggle Snap Ground Target to make it easy to aim 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 on siege from a safe position
    • Ground AoEs like 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 target enemies closest to their center, so snapping your ground target guarantees that your target will be hit - make sure to target the siege you want the 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 on
    • Make sure not to snap your ground target when using a disruptor
  • Do not use the last charge of 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发. Instead wait and Weapon Swap Weapon Swap to proc 疾速箭射 图标疾速箭射 then use 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 before the 疾速箭射 图标疾速箭射 buff expires to reduce the cooldown
    • You can use the last charge as long as you'll have another by the time Weapon Swap Weapon Swap is ready again
  • Use 大地冲击 图标大地冲击 (人生苦短 图标人生苦短), "干掉他们!" 图标"干掉他们!", and 独狼之力 图标独狼之力 after casting 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发 to increase your damage
  • Focus on whichever siege is being used against your group. For a general priority list aim for, in order:
  1. Shield Generators
  2. Arrow Carts
  3. Ballista
  4. Trebuchets
  5. Catapults
  6. Flame Rams
  7. Siege Golems

Siege

  • As a defender you should try to use siege during 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发/Weapon Swap Weapon Swap downtime
  • Entering/exiting siege while in combat will proc 疾速箭射 图标疾速箭射, it does not work on siege skills so make sure to proc it with 万箭齐发 图标万箭齐发
  • Siege doesn't deal damage unless a player is using it when the siege attack lands, be careful not to get off too early
