Strength Strength over Defense Defense also works. This is seen as less viable, but skilled players can make it work and it offers higher damage:

Utility

Usage

Elite specialization basics

  • 全力反击 图标全力反击 (FC) recharges your Burst skills 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 and 突破打击 图标突破打击. Always try to use it when you can refresh their duration, except if you're under heavy pressure in which case you can use FC purely for defensive means.

  • Always try to make sure Full Counter goes off: briefly move into hostile AoE spells, tank Mesmer clones or Ranger pets, etc.

  • FC is both the best defensive and offensive skill in the build as it blocks, evades, grants 稳固 图标稳固 and performs an unblockable AoE damage/CC attack when triggered.

  • Both burst skills and Full Counter cost adrenaline. If you only need a little more till you can use them then 通用怒火 图标通用怒火 can get you there.

General

  • Settings: disable auto targeting, otherwise it'd be impossible to use skills like 突击斩 图标突击斩 for disengaging.

  • Playstyle: this build is all about weaving hard hitting skills into chains of block and evade frames while tethering yourself to the target with 武者束缚 图标武者束缚 as often as possible. The combos aren't set in stone, rather you'll need to adapt based on what CDs are available. Minimize melee contact, dodge/block/evade as many things as possible, and spike targets when an opening shows.

  • 眼疾手快 图标眼疾手快 reduces the CD of weapon swapping to 5 seconds, which keeps gameplay rather fast paced with minimal downtime. As a result you won't be auto attacking much unless you're cleaving a downed enemy.

  • CCing a target removes a boon and deals damage/grants adrenaline via 规避损失 图标规避损失.

  • Thanks to 无路可逃 图标无路可逃 whenever you 晕眩 图标晕眩 or 昏迷 图标昏迷 a target you also Immobilize Immobilize them. This is especially useful with 全力反击 图标全力反击 which dazes targets and then recharges your burst skills, perfectly setting up your followup.

  • All movement skills remove the Immobilized condition - list of movement skills in the build:

Conditon cleansing & general survival

  • 混斗复元 图标混斗复元 and 战士冲锋 图标战士冲锋 will be used to manage condition levels before resorting to mass cleanses.

  • "重整旗鼓!" 图标"重整旗鼓!" (SIO) is both a stunbreak and a great source of instant cleansing.

  • Kite, a LOT. You want to run out of harm's way using mobility skills as much as possible before resorting to major defensive CDs.

  • Your best defense is a good offense - landing burst skills cleanses conditions and heals you over time via 怒气恢复 图标怒气恢复 and 净化之怒 图标净化之怒.

  • 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 is great if you want to run away from pressure as it can build quite the gap while providing an evade frame.

Rampage

  • 怒神附体 图标怒神附体 is what you use when you quickly want to burst/CC a target, or desperately need mobility to either chase down someone, or run away from a fight. Bonus points if you manage to attach 武者束缚 图标武者束缚 just before using your elite.

  • CC skills barely do any damage anymore, most of the damage in this form comes from autoattacks and 猛冲 图标猛冲.

  • 投掷巨石 图标投掷巨石 is a popular opener, allowing you to CC targets from range and then either follow up with 猛冲 图标猛冲 for burst damage or 地震跃击 图标地震跃击 to keep the CC chain rolling.
