Overview
Fresh Air Tempest relies on spamming 
空气过载 and resetting its cooldown with 
清新气流. This, combined with its high damage AoE skills, makes it excel at killing adds and trash mobs. In addition, Tempest provides a lot of 
易伤, deals excellent burst damage on large hitboxes, and provides a unique damage buff to its party through 空气过载's Static Discharge.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Players that own Janthir Wilds can use Spear. This is similar long-term DPS, but the burst is lower and the weapon is incredibly visually noisy, making it difficult to see mechanics.
Sword/Dagger can also be used by players that own Secrets of the Obscure.
Scepter/Dagger is the best choice for players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure or Janthir Wilds, and also has the benefit of doing good damage at range.
Skill Variants
Healing
再生纹章 provides good healing in low damage fights (i.e. fights where you never press your healing skill).
"抚慰伤痛！" for a strong group heal.
幻光恢复 if extra condition cleanse is needed.
Utility
- On non-hammer builds,
火焰纹章 should replace 
秘法爆弹 or 
"炽火燎原！":
闪电巨锤 can be pre-cast in fractals then swapped to another skill for extra damage.
Elite
炽焰巨剑 can be pre-cast in fractals then swapped to another skill for extra damage.

Spear Rotation
Click to view
Spear's unique mechanic is its Etchings. The five-skill in each attunement places a large symbol on the ground. This can be immediately reactivated to launch an AoE attack, but a more powerful version can be charged up by using three skills while inside the symbol. As such, the general principle will be to quickly activate the Etching, followed by at least three skills, then the enhanced attack from the Etching.
It is worth noting that while you need to remain in the Etching symbol to charge it up, the damage can be aimed up to 1200 units away.
In order for 
蚀刻：火山爆发 to be available each loop, the Fire traitline is required.
Autoattacks will not be listed in general.
