Detailed Explanations

Glyph of Renewal

• Under General Options / Combat/Movement turn on Allow Skill Retargetting and set Ground Targetting to Instant Cast, this will make 复元雕文 cast at the location your cursor is at the end of the cast, instead of where you initially targetted
• Focus on reviving allies who are far away with 复元雕文, don't waste the skill on players that can be hand rezzed.
• Use 复元雕文 in 空气协调 on single players and 大地协调 on multiple players
  • If the teleportation from Air Glyph is not needed (or actively harmful), use the glyph in 流水协调 for the extra heal
• If a downed ally can be safely revived by other means don't use 复元雕文
• If you are under the effect of 生命幻象 you can cast 复元雕文 in 火焰协调 to avoid timing out

Healing/Condition Clear

• Start fights in 火焰协调 for 火焰过载 before you engage the enemy
• Outside of the opener your attunement priority is:

1. 流水协调 - Priority whenever healing/condition clear is needed
2. 大地协调 - Secondary Priority whenever healing/condition clear is needed
3. 空气协调 - Priority for CC
4. 火焰协调 - Priority when low enemy pressure and CC isn't needed

• Once all of your skills are on cooldown on one attunement you should immediately swap to the next best attunement for your situation

  • You Overload skills can be powerful, but take a lot of time to cast and increase the cooldown of your Attunement
    • 流水过载 should always be cast unless the healing and Condition Clear isn't needed
    • 大地过载 should usually be cast, but cancel it if necessary
      • Make sure to cast 逆向转化大地 after finishing 大地过载 before you swap Attunement
    • 空气过载 should sometimes be cast, don't worry if you have to cancel it or can't stay in 空气协调 long enough to charge it
    • You shouldn't often be in 火焰协调 long enough to charge 火焰过载 but if incoming pressure is low feel free to charge and cast it for 威能

• Your largest sources of Healing and Condition Clear are from Blast Finishers via 卡拉科萨古物 and 金刚石肤

  • Your own fields have priority for combo finishers. You have access to three field types that are useful to blast: Fire on 火焰过载, Water on 间歇温泉 and 治疗之雨, and Ice on 寒冰禁地
    • Water is generally the best field type to blast
    • Prioritize blasting your fields, but don't delay your healing just to do so

• Use 寒冰尖刺 and 大地喷发 on the fields you make with 间歇温泉 and 治疗之雨 for healing or 寒冰禁地 for damage mitigation if healing isn't needed

  • It is often worth swapping straight to 大地协调 after 流水协调 to land 大地喷发 on a field
    • The timing with 大地喷发 is somewhat tight so practice it out of combat

• Use 逆向转化大地 whenever you can while in 大地协调

  • Try to cast 空槽 in 大地协调 whenever it will be useful for an extra 逆向转化大地 proc

• Tempests biggest burst heal skill is

  • Keep in mind most of the healing is on the first pulse which has a radius of 240

• ⇒ is instant cast, meaning it provides the healing immediately and can also be used while CCed

Aura/Boonshare

• 火焰过载 is a significant 威能 generator, but limited by the long charging and casting time in an Attunement with very little support value otherwise
  • Try to go into 火焰协调 whenever you're in a low pressure situation, such as both groups disengaging from each other to regroup
• Use 磁力光环 ⇒ 逆向转化大地 as the first 稳固 application on ranged engages
• Other than ranged engages, use 逆向转化大地 as frequently as possible
• Use 寒冰禁地 on your group before pushes to give 冰霜光环

CC

• Use your CC when:
  • Your group calls a spike such as Wells (腐化法池)
  • On top of enemy downs (while alive enemies are on top of them)
  • Enemy groups move defensively while your group is pushing
• Be careful not to knock enemies out of your groups spikes with 疾风爆发

Superspeed

• Focus on using 乘风急速 when your group is pushing or disengaging from the enemy

Settings

• Under General Options / User Interface check Always show squad health bars and Always show party health bars. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
• Also under General Options / User Interface turn on Thick party health bars
  • Thick squad health bars can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
• Under Squad Options uncheck View as a grid. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
