Utility
牦牛纹章 can be replaced by:
-
平衡姿态 - both are stunbreaks with 
稳固. The signet provides passive mitigation while untouched, while the stance offers stronger mitigation but only while active. The stance is also better against boon removal, as it applies Stability periodically. These are equally viable options. -
"为了正义！" - instant damage boost for you and your team, also acts as a second healing skill because of various trait synergies with Might stacking. Consider picking up 
活力战吼 and 
重振旗鼓 on Tactics. -
孤注一掷 - stunbreak that can also be used offensively for better burst/cleave, even has Might synergy for extra healing. -
痛苦忍耐 - excellent proactive defensive choice against direct power damage burst, also break stuns.

Variants
Variants
斩腿专家 could help you set up bursts with the Immobilize Immobilize, but taking it costs you quite a bit of sustain.
Variants
能者灾厄 is also a viable option if you can afford to give up some cleansing.
Specialization Variants
Tactics can be replaced by Defense, which makes you better against 
目盲 and 
虚弱 spamming specs:

Equipment Variants
Relics
Amulet
粉碎者项链 - a more tanky and beginner-friendly option with slightly lower damage.
Sigils
勇气法印 over 
战斗法印 - Battle is more bursty and an ideal on-swap sigil to set up your F1 or 
飞斧投掷 as finishing moves, but Courage has better synergy with your relic as the 
威能 applications are more spread out.
Usage
Settings
- Disable autotargeting (General Options ⇒ Combat/Movement section) otherwise it'd be impossible to use skills like
突击斩 for disengaging from fights. For more general tips check out our settings guide.
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 and 
治愈威能 causes 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 and generate 威能. This is especially useful if you're 目盲ed as the damage of the dodge will miss, consuming the condition and allowing you to immediately follow up with something more dangerous. -
Use
旋风斩 and 突击斩 as often as possible while traveling between capture points. In combat these skills can also get you out of Immobilize Immobilize because of the trait 
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 or to keep your adrenaline if you know a burst won't land. 
弧线斩切 can also be stowed instead of weapon swapped. -
- These are vital skills for the build and you should do your best to land them. CC targets beforehand with
公牛冲锋 or 
盾击, time them to hit just after the target has dodged, etc. - You gain 15 endurance via
澎湃动力 if the skill hits. - Most of your adrenaline should be spent on 剖脏, as its damage scales with adrenaline level. For 弧线斩切 it doesn't matter, the damage is always the same - only the
激怒 duration scales. - Burst skills give you
急速 if they land, which makes it easier to land your followup skills like 飞斧投掷 or even 
百刃斩. Hundred Blades should only be used when you have Quickness, preferably on CC'd or downed targets.
- These are vital skills for the build and you should do your best to land them. CC targets beforehand with
-
公牛冲锋 can be your make or break skill during duels or downing an opponent. Try using it at the end of a player's dodge roll to make it harder to avoid. Alternatively, this can be used defensively for the evasion and mobility to avoid damage or disengage from a fight.
- Despite its range, 公牛冲锋 is best used in melee to make it harder to react to.
- Despite its range,
-
飞斧投掷 is a niche skill that shines in 2 situations:
- Snaring and applying Immobilize Immobilize through a trait proc when playing with 斩腿专家, setting up burst or keeping targets from disengaging.
- Striking an enemy below 25% health increases the damage of this skill significantly, making it fairly powerful for finishing off enemies even from range.
- Snaring and applying Immobilize Immobilize through a trait proc when playing with
-
混斗复元 and 战士冲锋 will be used to manage condition levels before resorting to mass cleanses. -
"重整旗鼓！" (SIO) is both a stunbreak and an instant mass cleanse. In condi matchups use your other stunbreaks first if your condi levels are still manageable, keep this for emergencies. If conditions are starting to overwhelm you but you can get a cast off, prioritize using 
伤势愈合 for cleansing before resorting to SIO.- Against condi builds consider delaying the use of 伤势愈合 if you're missing some health but you don't have many conditions on you. Use it primarily as a source of cleansing first, healing second.
- Against condi builds consider delaying the use of
-
Usually it's best NOT to use the downed state skill
复仇. Use it only if you're certain that you can get a kill in that 15 second time frame. Why? Let's say you were in a 1v1. If both you and the enemy are downed, a lucky Vengeance can get the kill and bring you back to life. However, if only you're downed and your opponent is alive and has already captured the point, Vengeance would be a terrible idea. Vengeance prevents capture point contribution, which means he can just leave you alone and you'll achieve nothing except delay your own respawn by 15 seconds while your team will be outnumbered.
Rampage
-
怒神附体 is what you use when you want to burst a target or desperately need mobility to either chase down someone / run away from a fight. -
Example of a Rampage burst rotation:
投掷巨石 ⇒ 
猛冲 ⇒ 
飞踢 ⇒ 
地震跃击 ⇒ 
重击 -
The CC skills in rampage barely do any damage anymore, but
猛冲 and the autoattack chain are still quite powerful.
