Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
The majority of your Damage in this build comes from 
空气过载.
清新气流 allows this build to function by resetting the Cooldown of 
空气协调 with Critical Hits.
As this build has almost 100% Critical Chance, you will instantly reset the Cooldown of 空气协调 when you swap to

Opener
Summon

- 火焰协调 and immediately back to 空气协调
- Auto Attack → 空气过载
- 流水协调 and immediately back to 空气协调
On step 3 and step 6, 清新气流 will immediately trigger allowing you to instantly swap back to 空气协调.
You can move while casting 空气过载 but you cannot Dodge or swap Attunements.
Step Two

These are the skills in 火焰协调 that you'd want to use:
