Utility

Usage

General

  • Playstyle: this build is all about weaving hard hitting skills into chains of block and evade frames. The combos aren't set in stone, rather you'll need to adapt based on what CDs are available. Minimize melee contact, dodge/block/evade as many things as possible, and spike targets when an opening shows. Examples:

  • 强力正义 图标强力正义 and 治愈威能 图标治愈威能 causes 威能 图标威能 applications to heal you and grant a tiny bit of endurance.

  • If possible, dodge into enemies to damage them with 野蛮闪避 图标野蛮闪避 and generate 威能 图标威能. This is especially useful if you're 目盲 图标目盲ed as the damage of the dodge will miss, consuming the condition and allowing you to immediately follow up with something.

  • Use 旋风斩 图标旋风斩 and 突击斩 图标突击斩 in combat to get out of Immobilize Immobilize via the trait 战士冲锋 图标战士冲锋.

  • Swapping weapons in the middle of a burst cancels them and retains the adrenaline. You can use this to your advantage by baiting dodges with 剖脏 图标剖脏 or to keep your adrenaline if you know a burst won't land. 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 can also be stowed instead of weapon swapped.

  • Burst skills - 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 and 剖脏 图标剖脏:

    • These are vital skills for the build and you should do your best to land them. CC targets beforehand with 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 or 盾击 图标盾击, time them to hit just after the target has dodged, etc.
    • You gain 15 endurance via 澎湃动力 图标澎湃动力 if the skill hits.
    • Most of your adrenaline should be spent on 剖脏 图标剖脏, as its damage scales with adrenaline level. For 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 it doesn't matter, the damage is always the same - only the 激怒 图标激怒 duration scales.
    • Try to land 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 right (or shortly) after swapping to GS to benefit from 超级远见法印 图标超级远见法印.
  • 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 can be your make or break skill during duels or downing an opponent. Try to use it at the end of a player's dodge or stability to make it even harder to dodge, and make the most out of it. Alternatively, this can be used defensively for the evasion and mobility to avoid damage or disengage from a fight.

  • 飞斧投掷 图标飞斧投掷 is borderline useless except for 2 situations:

    • Your target is trying to escape, in which case the snare can be useful. When playing with Tactics, this not only snares but also applies Immobilize Immobilize.
    • The target is below 25% health which increases the damage of this skill significantly, making it fairly powerful.
  • 混斗复元 图标混斗复元 and 战士冲锋 图标战士冲锋 will be used to manage condition levels before resorting to mass cleanses.

  • "重整旗鼓!" 图标"重整旗鼓!" (SIO) is the only stun break in the build but also a source of mass cleansing. Try to exhaust your other cleansing options first before resorting to this if possible, as using SIO could make you vulnerable to future CC attempts.
