Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
The idea of this build is to enter 
夺魂之幕 and start swinging your scythe. Maximizing your time in 夺魂之幕 drastically increases your Critical Damage thanks to two traits:
Whenever you leave shroud, use your big AoE skills for a damage spike before going back into 夺魂之幕:
Make sure to 
召唤血肉魔像 at the start of each fight or when your Flesh Golem gets killed.
Opener
Your opener offers very strong burst and you'll repeat it every time you go into 夺魂之幕 throughout your rotation.
Every time you 
解除夺魂之幕 whether intentionally of by taking excessive damage, wait until these skills are available again before before entering 夺魂之幕 again.
Step One
Whenever you enter 夺魂之幕, use the following skills as available:
Thanks to 
夺魂灭屠, the Cooldown of all your 夺魂之幕 skills will be significantly reduced so long as you keep Auto Attacking.
In addition, use 3 
惊惧魔甲 when needed for an extra burst of damage reduction and self Stability. Do not use the flip skill 
惊惧释放 unless you need the Defiance Break.
Step Two
Next, make sure to keep the large Damage buff from 
灵魂倒钩 active all the time. To do this, you will need to F1 解除夺魂之幕 after being in shroud for about 10-15 seconds . Instead of counting, you will know its time to 解除夺魂之幕 when either:
- The Cooldowns of
灵魂漩涡 and 
处决镰刀 are about halfway done. Each should be cast once per shroud. - 灵魂倒钩 starts to flash on your boon bar, warning you it is about to lapse.
While outside of shroud, use the following loose priority on Greatsword while waiting for 夺魂之幕 to come off Cooldown:
When 夺魂之幕 is available again, loop back to the Opener and then back to your 夺魂之幕 skills.
Step Three
Its now time to add Wells to the Opener. The new version will be:
Wells are Ground-Targeted, but as you will be in melee range you can click the skills to drop them AoE at your feet.
Additionally, when the enemy is below 50% Health, you can spam 2
掘墓剑斩 when you are on Greatsword . The skill instantly Recharges itself when you hit an enemy that is below 50% Health. This will provide greater damage over Auto Attack Chains on Greatsword at the cost of Life Force generation. If you need your Life Force topped off, stick to Auto Attacks.
The Full Raid Build uses the 
烟花古物. This can provide an overall damage increase over 
雄鹰古物 but requires you to consistenly space out 4 灵魂漩涡 and 5 处决镰刀 while you are in 夺魂之幕. Using one halfway through shroud and one right before you 解除夺魂之幕 is the goal to ensure maximum uptime on 烟花古物.
