Utility

裁决纹章 over 纯净沉思 - makes your cleansing worse but gives you a more frequently available stunbreak that also mitigates direct damage both on its active and passive effect. Great option against predominantly Power-based comps.
旋风之光 over 闪现连击 - WL offers better AoE damage on lower CD, but Flash Combo is more versatile and even adds some much needed mobility to a build that doesn't opt for offhand Sword.

Equipment Variants

Amulet

女武神项链 - higher sustain but lower consistency due to the loss of crit chance. Take 游侠符文 to compensate. 以力换韧 can be considered for the 1st slot of Willbender, since you don't need the extra HP from the other trait - you do lose some healing though.

Sigils

勇气法印 over 战斗法印 - Battle is better for burst damage as it gives you multiple stacks of 威能 on swap, but Might from Courage has much longer duration so it's better for sustained damage. Courage would also synergize better with your relic, although the relic has an internal cooldown, and you're already getting Might applied to you every 3 second from 正义本能, so sometimes if the procs overlap Courage won't actually give you extra stacks from relic synergy.
Keeping Sigil of Battle on Spear and taking 勇气法印 on Sword over Cleansing is also a viable option. Courage stacks have a longer duration so the stacks you build on the Sword set will often carry over to Spear. Using Battle on Spear and Courage on Sword will give you the best burst damage on Spear, if you can afford to give up some condition removal for it.

Usage

General

决心 increases your critical strike chance by 40% via 正义本能, pushing it near the crit cap while you have this boon. Always try to maintain Resolution or at least apply it before bursts.
- Every focus skill and shadowstep (teleport) grants 决心 from traits. Most of the time these skills are part of your burst combos and general gameplay loop so you don't have to worry too much about maintaining this boon. Resolution is a bit harder to maintain on this build though, so know your sources.
急速正义 is refreshed after each kill so make sure you always have it on cooldown right before a kill. Using it also applies AoE 目盲 which can be useful for stomping or making high priority skills miss. It's also one of the hardest hitting skills in the build.
Try to burn through all of your virtues before resorting to 专注复苏. RF is a great skill to use if you're being focused by the enemy team and you don't have any CDs left. Just keep in mind that this skill makes you lose capture point contribution for its duration.
One of Willbender's greatest strengths is its mobility:
- Every virtue skill is a mobility skill.
- Both weapon sets have some sort of movement abilities. Most of the teleports require a target, but you can get creative with that by doing things like selecting a far away enemy target and spamming teleports to get across the map faster, or selecting objects such as a Trebuchet on Battle of Kyhlo to leave enemies behind.
目盲s are important even when bursting targets as Blind spam prevents them from counterpressuring you. 利刃符印 and 急速正义 both apply this condition on top of doing great damage. If taken, 旋风之光 could fill a similar role as the 虚弱 is great for mitigating incoming damage while also pressuring opponents.
英勇冲撞 grants you 稳固 and 抗性 (among other things) which allow you to ignore CC and debilitating conditions like 虚弱 while bursting targets. Being a shadowstep (teleport) skill it could also reposition you right on top of your target so that you may safely follow up with burst damage.
- Note: this build doesn't play Virtues Virtues, which means that 英勇冲撞 doesn't grant 稳固 on its initial cast, only at the very end! As such it's a much less reactive defensive cooldown, and could easily get interrupted. Consider using 愤怒护盾 if you're afraid of getting CC'd while casting this skill.

Sword/Focus

This is more of a defensive/utility set, but still has decent damage.
狂徒防御 is both defensive and offensive, deals solid damage while destroying enemy projectiles.
利刃符印 has many uses: vertical mobility via teleportation, symbol for cleaving, 目盲 to make an important skill miss, or a combo field which can be used to combo 光明光环 with a leap finisher.
Both focus skills grant 保护 and 决心 via 聚能专精.
- 愤怒护盾 doesn't give you the boons right away, the shield must first explode for the boons to be applied.
裁决光束 isn't very powerful but makes up for it with its versatility. The 目盲, cleanse, heal, boons and damage make it useful in just about any situation. Focus skills in general are an important source of 决心 in the build, so you should pretty much use this skill on CD.
愤怒护盾 is a highly valuable defensive skill if used correctly. Having instant access to a blocking skill could save your life if you get caught in a CC with no available stunbreaks, but it could also cover important casts like your healing skill or allow you to pressure enemies while tanking hits.
- If the 3 charges aren't consumed, the shield explodes for heavy damage. In combat this is a rather unlikely scenario, the only reliable way of getting the explosion off is casting this skill at a safe distance and jumping in with a teleport just as it's about to expire. When combined with other heavy hitting skills (especially on Spear) and 裁决干涉 for an instant teleport, the shield can add quite a bit of burst damage to your opener.

Spear

Spear has its own unique mechanic called illumination. Using any of skills 2-5 and fulfilling the right conditions gives you the Illuminated buff, which increases the effectiveness of your next skill.
Starting off with 光照符印 is recommended, because it ensures that the rest of your combo is illuminated.
闪耀圆转 and 日光奔袭 go well together, you should aim to line up the 2nd strike of GD with the pass-through damage of HR.
太阳风暴 is the main burst skill here, a powerful AoE with heavy damage that can also heal and cleanse allies in range. Make sure that this skill is always illuminated.

Burst combo examples

Willbender isn't a very complicated spec and you don't have to work hard to do a lot of damage. This section is only meant to give you a few ideas for sequencing, especially when it comes to doing damage with minimal risk.

Spear Combo

You basically just go through your skills from right to left, 5 to 2.

Optional 裁决干涉 if you're outside melee range. You could also pre-cast 愤怒护盾 and jump in with JI right as it's about to explode and you're about to finish casting Symbol of Luminance.
光照符印 for CC and to illuminate the rest of the combo. You don't have to stay inside the symbol!
Optional - 太阳风暴. Note: consider skipping this when prioritizing single-target damage. ST has a long cast time, you might be better off focusing on the other 2 steps while the CC lasts. ST is best used against multiple targets who are spread, or if you're not in melee range.
闪耀圆转, the goal here is to hit the target with the second strike at the same time Helio Rush connects.
日光奔袭 through the target.

Sustain

Although this is more tanky than your average Willbender build, it still relies on its mobility to avoid damage occasionally.
A huge part of your sustain comes passively from 无私治疗, restoring health whenever you gain a boon. It heals per stack and application, so 5 stacks of 威能 will heal you 5 times. You don't really have to pay much attention to this, it'll happen passively throughout a fight. It does give you even more reasons to maintain 决心 though, as 正义本能 keeps giving you 威能 every second while you have Resolution, which is further amplified by 雾灼古物.
- If you want to gain a lot of boons quickly, use 英勇冲撞.
流动决心 is an excellent reactive skill which cleanses several conditions and even has an evade frame in case you need to dodge something but don't have the endurance.
决心纹章 is worth holding onto for its passive in order to get free condition cleansing, but don't hesitate to use it on low health (and even its active can cleanse conditions).
纯净沉思 is a purely defensive stunbreak and your best answer against an overwhelming amount of conditions. Usually a last resort for when you're heavily pressured and other options don't cut it anymore.
英勇冲撞 is an excellent and versatile defensive skill. Short CD, grants boons, it's also a ground targeted ranged teleport which adds a lot of vertical mobility to the build. Leaving attackers behind while teleporting to the highground can often save your life. As with most Willbender skills, it's not purely defensive - the AoE it leaves behind upon landing is a good source of cleave damage too, so you could sacrifice this skill to chase or pressure targets if you're fine with giving up a defensive CD.
裁决干涉 is also a stunbreak but most of the time it'll be used to execute burst combos from range. Worth holding onto for defensive purposes when every other stunbreak is on CD though.
As long as you have 专注复苏 you're somewhat safe. It's an incredibly powerful defensive skill which grants you immunity to incoming damage and CC (other than fall damage) when under heavy pressure, and refreshes all of your Virtues which could either help you stay alive longer or run away.
