Equipment Variants

Rune

• 猞猁符文 for movement speed and other relevant stats, while freeing up the relic slot for something other than 寻路者古物.
• 冒险符文, 狂战士符文, 元素使符文, 唤灵师符文 and 陷阱师符文 for different mixes of condition damage, power and vitality, when paired with 寻路者古物.

Amulet

• 腐朽项链 makes the build's condition damage more potent and adds 400 vitality. However, it sacrifices 100 power and 500 precision from the 巫师项链. The precision synergises well with multiple traits, such as 锐利幻象 and 剑术大师 from the Dueling traitline and 波动思维 and 致死利刃 from the Virtuoso traitline. Furthermore, skills such as 和谐咏刃, 困惑镜像, 幻象反击, 对称利斧 and 萦绕思绪 have power coefficients that can leverage strike damage related stats and helps this build be less of a condition-only one trick pony.

Relic

• 阿奇姆古物 if taking 猞猁符文. But care must be taken with how 阿奇姆古物 is used. It might be counter-intuitive to disable an opponent that is already inflicted with 困惑, as that would negate damage from the 困惑 they are already inflicted with. It may be better to let the opponent finish casting their skills so that the existing 困惑 stacks trigger their damage. Instead, 阿奇姆古物 could be used when the opponent is inflicted with no or few stacks of 困惑 but five or more stacks of 折磨. This can be achieved through 和谐咏刃 (which provides 折磨 thanks to 幻灭伤残), 萦绕思绪, 幻象反击, or the auto attack chains of either weaponset.

Usage

• The build’s greatest weapon is 悲伤咏刃.

  • It inflicts a staggering 20 stacks of 困惑. It normally only applies one stack of 困惑 for each of the five blades but the Illusions trait 痛苦之吼 inflicts an extra stack per blade and the combination of Dueling traits 目盲幻碎 and 障目强光 inflict two extra stacks per blade. In total that is four stacks of 困惑 per blade.
  • The Dueling trait 目盲幻碎, Illusions traits 幻灭伤残 and , and Virtuoso traits 波动思维 and 致死利刃, inflict 目盲, 折磨, cripple Cripple, 流血 (on a critical hit) and 易伤 (on a critical hit) respectively per blade. Conveniently, many of these are applied after the confusion, so they also serve the role of cover conditions.
  • Dodging triggers the Virtuoso trait 灵能回应, which makes 悲伤咏刃 (along with the other bladesongs) unblockable. Dodges are an extremely valuable resource for mitigating damage, so think very carefully before sacrificing them just to make 悲伤咏刃 unblockable. Sometimes it can be worth it, for example, to penetrate blocks, reflects or projectile denial effects at critical times. In other situations you may have already dodged for damage mitigation recently and triggered 灵能回应 passively, or the opponent has used up their defensive abilities so 悲伤咏刃 does not need to be made unblockable.
  • The Virtuoso trait 锐化悲伤 grants 激怒 when 悲伤咏刃 is cast and provides bonus expertise to 激怒. Furthermore, the Virtuoso trait 寂静强烈 provides +10% bonus critical chance to 激怒.
  • Be wary of when 悲伤咏刃 is used. It can be cleansed or evaded, and if 灵能回应 is not triggered, 悲伤咏刃 can also be blocked, reflected and projectile denied. It may be better to bait out the opponent's defences with other abilities first.
  • It shares the same resource as 失真咏刃 (and the other bladesongs). If 悲伤咏刃 is used, blades will need to be restocked before 失真咏刃 can be used. For that reason, try to ensure other defensive options are available when using 悲伤咏刃.

• 失真咏刃 grants a brief period of invulnerability.

  • It shares the same resource as 悲伤咏刃 (and the other bladesongs). If 失真咏刃 is used, blades will need to be restocked before 悲伤咏刃 can be used. For that reason, it is generally considered the absolute last resort as a defensive tool when no other options are available.
  • The Illusions trait makes 失真咏刃 a reflect. It can be used offensively to counter incoming projectiles, especially if those projectiles scale well with condition damage. But it is usually better used defensively to mitigate damage. When used defensively, be wary of reflecting projectiles from stealth as that could reveal you.

• The Scepter + Pistol weaponset:

  • The auto attack stocks a blade at the end of its chain, as well as applying a bit of 折磨.
  • 幻象反击 is a block that transitions into an evade, while applying 折磨 on the attacker and stocking a blade.
  • The main combo of the weapon set is 幻影斗士 -> 魔法子弹 -> 困惑镜像. Using 魔法子弹 after 幻影斗士 allows the Dueling trait 决斗戒律 to reduce the cooldown of both skills. Furthermore, the first packet of damage from 幻影斗士 usually hits before 魔法子弹, which can help remove 圣盾 and improve the likelihood of 魔法子弹 landing. 魔法子弹 is a two second 昏迷, which can help to land 困惑镜像 while the phantasm from 幻影斗士 unloads its attack.

• The Axe + Torch weaponset:

  • 萦绕思绪 inflicts cripple Cripple, 折磨, and stocks a blade so try to use it when fewer than five blades are stocked.
  • 对称利斧, if used offensively, applies more stacks of 困惑 the more blades are stocked and is a 600 range teleport. It can also be used defensively as an evade.
  • 虚幻魔术 can be used defensively for its condition cleanse, its stealth to escape pressure, or its 目盲 that is inflicted on nearby opponents, which also triggers the Dueling trait 障目强光 to inflict a couple of stacks of 困惑. Meanwhile, the stealth can also be used offensively to setup a burst. Three seconds after it is cast, a flame blast inflicts a stack of burning on nearby opponents that is made more potent by the Illusions trait 烈火誓约, which adds another two stacks of 燃烧.
  • 幻影法师 inflicts a stack of 燃烧 on nearby opponents upon cast that is enhanced by 烈火誓约, which adds another two stacks of 燃烧. It also generates a phantasm that attacks a few moments later, to inflict more 燃烧, 困惑 and a small 晕眩.
  • A few of the possible combos are:
    • 幻影法师 -> 闪光传送 just before 幻影法师 completes its cast time
    • 虚幻魔术 -> 幻影法师 -> 闪光传送 just before 幻影法师 completes its cast time and just as the flame burst from 虚幻魔术 activates
    • 对称利斧 -> 幻影法师
    • 虚幻魔术 -> 对称利斧 -> 幻影法师
    • 虚幻魔术 -> 悲伤咏刃 -> 萦绕思绪 x2

• Try to use 幻光盛宴 when fully stocked on blades, as its healing and condition cleanse scale with the number of blades.

• 午夜纹章 passively increases expertise, but its main role is a stun break on activation that also applies 目盲 on nearby opponents, which in turn applies a bit of 困惑 through the Dueling trait 障目强光. If stunned and about to be burst by an opponent, an option is to counterattack with the combo 午夜纹章 -> dodge -> 悲伤咏刃.

• 闪光传送, which also acts as a stun break, is mainly an escape tool but in some situations it can be sacrificed as an offensive gap closer. For example, the combo 群体隐形 -> 闪光传送 can be used to stealth a distant ally and peel for them when they are being chased by opponents.
