Detailed Explanations
Burst Damage
- Your ranged spike damage priority is:
- The goal is to land as much damage in as short a time as possible, overlapping damage such as
烈阳支援 ⇒ 
鹞鹰投掷 to increase burst
- If you can get into melee range, follow that up with one of the melee priorities:
- Make sure you are in range of
超级水能法印 when swapping to your melee set - If your adrenaline is too low for a Burst skill, use
破除幻术 to activate 
规避损失
Damage
Skill priority
- In general stay on Spear until you have a chance to get into melee range, then use your other weapon set for burst damage before getting back to Spear as quickly as possible
全力反击 should be saved for 
弧线斩切 with Greatsword but used for 
重伤之矛 with Sword/Axe
- To ensure 全力反击 triggers, you can briefly move into hostile enemy ground pressure
- To ensure
- Use
威能纹章 to make 
破坏投掷 unblockable and only cast 破坏投掷 with 威能纹章
Greatsword Usage
百刃斩 is situational. You stand still during channel, which means hitting CC'ed, movement impaired and downed foes is the ideal setup for this ability.
- Don't be afraid to cancel 百刃斩 after only a few ticks of damage, look for any chance to get multiple ticks off
- Don't be afraid to cancel
- Save 旋风斩 to disengage back to your group, but try to hit enemies with it when possible since the Evade Evade will protect you while dealing decent damage
- Beware the animation lock of 突击斩. Its best use is for single target damage while already in melee, but even then it must be used very carefully if at all
Sword/Axe Usage
- It is almost always worth switching to Sword/Axe for
双重打击 ⇒ 
回旋斧斩 if you can land both even if you need to switch back to Spear without using any other skills - Beware the animation lock of 野蛮跳跃. Its best use is for single target damage while already in melee, but even then it must be used very carefully if at all
- A stow weapon keybind can be useful to cancel
乱舞
- The Immobilize Immobilize of 乱舞 is applied on the first tick of damage, so try to at least land that and then stow the rest of the cast if you can't land the full channel
- The Immobilize Immobilize of
Boon Strip
- Land
弱化之风 on the enemy group while your group is in range to follow up with a spike
- You can do this either as your group pushes into the enemy group or as the enemy group pushes into your group
- In either case it isn't usually a good idea to go far from your own group during the cast
- If you need
稳固 use 
平衡姿态 to protect the cast of 弱化之风 - It is worth casting 旋风斩 and other movement skills just to get into a better position for 弱化之风, even if it hits no enemies
- You can do this either as your group pushes into the enemy group or as the enemy group pushes into your group
- You should be casting 破除幻术 as often as possible, ideally right before either you or your group spikes the enemy group
