Vindicator - Ventari Support

General

• Invoking a legend resets energy to 50, removes 1 condition, procs 迷雾之歌, and could even proc the sigils of your current weapon set if they're no longer on CD. Swapping legends is basically the main resource management tool in the build - swap whenever you're out of CDs, low on energy, or need to cleanse. As the CD on legend swap is 10 seconds you want to plan ahead with your energy pool accordingly.

• 能量结合 (F2) is your other big resource management tool, restoring both energy and endurance, extending the time you can spend in a given legend without having to swap.

• 传奇同盟 Vindicators have access to 3 legends in a way, but swapping between the Kurzick legend Saint Viktor and the Luxon legend Archemorus does not proc legend swap related traits and class mechanics.

  • You can swap between the two with Alliance Tactics (F3 by default).

• On 传奇同盟 you'll be spending most of your time in the Kurzick (blue) side.

• Even your endurance can be used to support allies as dodging heals, cleanses, and applies barrier to all allies within its impact area.

• Most of your grou support comes from legend skills while weapons are there to ensure your survival. Both sets have means of avoiding damage such as 无情突击 and 水晶休眠 on Sword/Shield or 裂隙结界 on Staff.

• That doesn't mean weapon skills can't be used to help your team. Shield still has 茂盛特使 and most Staff skills have supportive elements (just not as powerful as legend skills). Even 迷雾激流 can be used to peel for the team.

Saint Viktor

• This is the Kurzick half of 传奇同盟 and an important part of your healing toolkit.

• heals allies around you while channeled. Unfortunately the long cast time make it easy to interrupt and the healing isn't a lot for how long it takes to cast so it's not great at burst healing, but fairly good at maintaining the health of allies. This is more of a personal healing skill for yourself, but you should try to share it with teammates whenever possible.

• cleanses conditions while acting as a second healing skill as it heals for each condition removed.

• 's role is twofold.

  • It's a decent passive AoE healing tool for the team, but be aware that this does NOT heal you. Quite the opposite, it damages you and prevents you from getting healed from other sources. Should be fine to use when you're not in danger of dying and it does allow you to cast other skills, but you won't benefit from any healing skill you cast on allies while this is active so don't maintain this for long.
  • This skill CAN be used defensively for personal benefit despite all the negative effects, because it heavily mitigates incoming damage and can be activated even while stunned! If you can't dodge and you're out of options for avoiding damage while focused by the enemy team you might want to pop this skill for a few seconds, it could save your life.
  • You can cancel this skill either by using its chain skill (which has a cast time and can be interrupted) or by swapping to Ventari.

• is the stunbreak here, but one that should only be used if both you and nearby allies need to break free from CC. Otherwise the Luxon variant of the skill, is actually superior. Reaver's Rage not only breaks stun but also gives you and s nearby enemies, creating some breathing room for you. Even if allies need the stunbreak this could sometimes be better, because the daze might prevent enemies from pressuring your team and by the time the daze runs out maybe your team already broke free from the CC.

• is for personal survivability. You're never really going to use this to give allies boons, it's almost never worth the energy cost for that, but the evade frame can be quite handy for surviving damage. This skill can also be used while d and the will let ignore this condition after the evade frame has ran out.

Ventari

• This legend has a unique mechanic, the tablet.

• Ventari is the only Revenant legend which doesn't have a stunbreak, but at least all of its skills can be used while stunned.

• summons Ventari's tablet which you get to move around freely with its chain skill .

• The other 4 skills all trigger around the tablet, so you must chase allies with it constantly.

• The first time you project the tablet into the battlefield your next Ventari skill becomes empowered.

  • To regain this empowerment buff you must destroy the tablet and resummon it, either with or by moving more than 1.5k range away from the tablet.

• Simplified playstyle: spamming nothing but (and Project Tranquility to resummon the tablet) can be a viable strategy sometimes. This skill does a bit of everything - healing, cleansing, CC, even applies AoE to make up for having no stunbreaks. It doesn't heal as much nor cleanse as many conditions as some other skills on this set, but it's never a bad idea to use it, and it's easily the strongest skill on this legend. This could even be used to counter-CC enemies while you're CC'd, as blowing up the tablet knocks down nearby enemies.

• The primary healing skill here is . Very simple stuff, just a big AoE heal on a relatively low cost and low recharge.

  • Empowered: heals more and grants endurance.
  • Note: this skill has a delay. If you have to move the tablet to your teammate try to time it in a way that the healing goes off right as the tablet reaches the target. If you move the tablet in position before using the skill, chances are the one you're trying to heal will move out of range by the time it goes off.

• is the main condi cleansing tool on this and heals for a decent amount after each condition removed. If an ally's heavily pressured by conditions prioritize this skill over .

Condition Cleansing

• Dodging removes 1 condition from yourself and allies.

• Staff's cleanses 2. This is also a Blast finisher and can be combo'd with for more AoE cleansing.

• Ventari has which is instant and heals for each condition it removes.

• Saint Viktor's works much like but with a cast time.

• The Ventari elite also offers some cleansing and as a Blast finisher it can be combo'd with just like Renewing Wave, but it has a delay and this combo cleanses fewer conditions than Purifying Essence while costing more energy. View it as more of a bonus, and resort to Purifying Essence as your go-to.
