Usage
Quick Guide
- Untamed is a melee range spike based DPS with high utility via boon removal
- Wait in
宠物觉醒 and Spear until you're ready to spike then use the following combo:
Burst rotation
- Add
孢子爆炸 into the combo if you see a good opportunity, otherwise save it until the enemy group is pushing into yours or both groups are trading hits - Use your Pet Swap and 宠物觉醒 to access
剧毒爆发, 
剥裂藤蔓, and 
孢络尘雾 when they are off cooldown - try to time them with your groups spikes to get the boon strip from 剥裂藤蔓
- Make sure to swap back to
游侠觉醒 as soon as possible for the extra damage and access to Ambush skills
- Make sure to swap back to
- Outside of bursts use your normal damage priority while waiting for Weapon Swap Weapon Swap to Ambush again

Surviving
- This build has moderate passive defense
- This build has moderate mobility skill access
- This build has low active defenses
- Stay in 宠物觉醒 whenever you are at risk of dying (separated from group, pulled into enemy group, being single targetted) for the 15% damage reduction
- Use
森林壁垒 when you anticipate a melee clash. Each target struck reduces its cooldown by 1 second. The resistance and 50% damage reduction given by the skill helps to sustain through a brawl
Detailed Explanations
Burst Damage
Burst rotation
- The first two steps can be disregarded if you are already in combat and using Weapon Swap Weapon Swap off cooldown
- If you have downtime after Weapon Swap Weapon Swap is ready you can play around the extra
能量觉醒 proc you get at 15s
- Use 宠物觉醒 while you wait for an opportunity to spike, then use the full combo as if it is the start of the fight again
- If you have the opportunity to spike with your group but haven't got the 能量觉醒 proc yet, just Weapon Swap Weapon Swap and spike immediately. A weaker spike with your team is better than a stronger spike alone
- Use
- If you have downtime after Weapon Swap Weapon Swap is ready you can play around the extra
- Add 孢子爆炸 into the combo if you see a good opportunity, otherwise save it until the enemy group is pushing into yours or both groups are trading hits
- Weapon swapping recharges your ambush skills, allowing you to boon rip more frequently. They should almost always be prioritized as the first skills used when weapon swapping.
- Be careful not to cancel your ambushes with weapon swaps or other skills, particularly
无情回旋
Damage
- Start fights on Spear
- Use 剥裂藤蔓 followed immediately by 剧毒爆发 and 孢络尘雾 as you spike.
- Make sure to be in 游侠觉醒 state when spiking for the DPS increase and so you can use your ambush skills.
Spear
- You'll often use
劫掠逃离 immediately before swapping into Hammer to combo with 无情回旋 
黑豹窥伺 should be used to empower 
猫鼬狂乱 into 
群狼猛攻 or 
蜘蛛网张
Hammer
- In hammer be sure to use all skills while in 游侠觉醒 for the substantial damage increase.
觉醒的野蛮冲击 is your strongest non-ambush spiking skill but requires you to be nearly on top of an enemy for all 3 strikes to land.- Make sure not to cancel the follow-up swing of
觉醒的专横碾压, it has the majority of its damage and rips boons 
觉醒的碎地重击 hits hard, but is very hard to use due to forced movement. It is not worth casting if you'll miss more than 2 autos while getting back in position afterwards- Be careful with the forced movement from 觉醒的碎地重击
- Don't aim directly into the enemy group and make sure to drop your target before casting these skills
- A Lock Autotarget keybind can be used to quickly drop your target
- Don't aim directly into the enemy group and make sure to drop your target before casting these skills
Boon rip
- You have three sources of boon rip, 孢子爆炸, 剥裂藤蔓 and on Ambush skills via
腐化藤蔓
- When possible combine both with other members of your group spiking
- 孢子爆炸 can strike up to 30 targets due to each spore having a 5 target cap
- Prioritize positioning over hitting maximum targets - don't put yourself in the enemy stack to use 孢子爆炸
- Prioritize positioning over hitting maximum targets - don't put yourself in the enemy stack to use
