This build was last updated on June 20, 2026 and is up to date for the June 2, 2026 patch.
Overview
Spellbreaker is a great all-rounder, combining high sustained damage, consistent boonrip, big CC and good survivability thanks to 
全力反击.
Hammer unlocks great CC as well as the Defense traitline, allowing for even higher sustain and near-permanent 
稳固. This build fits the melee brawler archetype perfectly, and as such cannot really do anything if forced out of melee range.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
- Offhand Axe can be used if you have doubts about your
急速 uptime (it can generate ~35% for yourself).
Skill Variants
Qadim Lava Elemental Kiter Variant
治疗纹章 gives you more sustain while kiting Lava Elementals
破除幻术 does increased damage to enemies that have boons. Qadim regains boons on a very short interval. Replaces 
公牛冲锋
盛怒纹章 can be used if adrenaline generation is an issue. Alternatively, use your 
怒气纹章 actively to make up any adrenaline deficiency, which allows you to take 
弱化之风 in case DPS isn't high enough to skip Qadim's defiance bar (or on Challenge Mode)
Template Code
[&DQIEHxY/PT2mAAAArQAAAKkAAACvAAAAnRYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]Specializations
规避损失 - On bosses that regain boons very regularly you will not gain the benefit of 
日月同辉, and you can reliably gain the extra damage and adrenaline for removing boons with this trait.
Equipment
- For players that don't own Janthir Wilds, a
潜行者古物 is the best option. - Against bosses that don't get Stunned Stunned, a
超级空气法印 on Dagger/Mace and a 
超级水能法印 on Hammer will do more DPS than the 
超级冲击法印s. - If you're able to reliably use CC during a bosses attack animations, then
超级隔离法印 will trigger, which can make it better than 超级冲击法印. - Against bosses where you can reliably remove boons (such as Qadim),
努里斯古物 may offer higher DPS. Be aware that you will also stack this relic passively in combat, so the damage buff may trigger on a moment where it's not useful.

Hammer section
The Hammer section has more variability than Dagger. The idea is to line up 公牛冲锋 and 裂背重锤 in the same loop, and use 震撼锤击 whenever it comes off cooldown.

Kiting Qadim's Lava Elementals
This build can reliably kite Lava Elementals at Qadim, while also bringing decent DPS on the boss and utility in removing 稳固 during Parry by using 弱化之风. It is however very unforgiving for mistakes and becomes more difficult quickly when Qadim gets stacks of Fiery Surge. This guide assumes the use of offhand Axe.
Build variation
- 治疗纹章 gives you more sustain
- 盛怒纹章 can be used if adrenaline generation is an issue. Alternatively, use your 怒气纹章 actively to make up any adrenaline deficiency, which allows you to take 弱化之风 in case DPS isn't high enough to skip Qadim's defiance bar (or on Challenge Mode)
- (Optional) 破除幻术 does increased damage to enemies that have boons. Qadim regains boons on a very short interval. Replace 公牛冲锋 and use off cooldown (be aware that it interrupts other skills)
- (Optional) 规避损失 - Qadim regains boons very regularly, so you will not gain the benefit of 日月同辉. You can however reliably gain the extra damage and adrenaline for removing boons with this trait.
- (Optional) 努里斯古物 can be taken since Qadim regains boons constantly that you can remove to stack this effect.
Kiting Strategy
For a general overview, see this section.
Since this build has no ranged capabilities, we will be running around to kill the Lava Elementals up close. The elementals spawn in an anti-clockwise pattern around the platform Qadim is on. The main strategy for killing the elementals is to go through a loop of three methods (and since the platform is a triangle, that means that we'll be using every method in the same corner every time).
Since we don't have 
激怒, it's possible we won't crit every time. Just finish the elemental with some auto attacks in that case.
Running around the platform means most of Qadim's attacks won't hit us. The main danger comes from 
火焰之舞, but this attack can be dodged or jumped over. Fire Dance will usually occur right before going back to the first elemental spawn spot, but this can deviate based on Fiery Surge stacks. If we avoid all the attacks, the only sustain we need is for the passive aura. This sustain is provided by the passive of 治疗纹章 and building up 
怒气恢复 by hitting 突破打击. If an emergency block is needed, 全力反击 can be used which will also add stacks of 怒气恢复 if it hits an enemy. Adrenaline can be topped off by using the active of 怒气纹章 or bringing 盛怒纹章.
