Condition Tempest

• 火焰过载 provides you with Might.
• 大地过载 for Protection and Stability.

For single target damage, use your Pistol/Warhorn set. Remember to (S)pend your Elemental Bullets on the right skills and (G)enerate them with others. Here are some guidelines for what skills to use in each Attunement:

• 灼烧齐射 (G), 狂怒弹射 (S) and 荒火哀嚎 in 火焰协调.
• 空中敏捷 (G), 晕眩施放 (S) and 闪电宝珠 in 空气协调.
• 严寒阵雪 (G) and 冰冻齐射 (S) in 流水协调.
• 巨石爆破 (G), 碎裂岩石 (S) and 沙尘风暴 in 大地协调.

冰冻齐射 and 荒火哀嚎 create large AoEs. Be careful how you place them to maximise their effects.

Cast the following skills off Cooldown:

• 荒火哀嚎
• 沙尘风暴
• 火焰纹章

When you need to tag mulitple mobs, you should use your Scepter/Warhorn set. Here are some tips:

• Use 烈焰打击, 岩石碎片 and 岩石屏障 → 投掷岩石 for ranged single target tags.
• Use 巨龙之牙, 浴火凤凰, 火焰纹章 and 魔尘沙暴 for AoE ranged group tagging.

Use "炽火燎原！" and 热力同步 to maintain Might and Fury. "炽火燎原！" is also useful for tagging nearby enemies.

Use 元素雕文 in 火焰协调 before you get into combat and use 烈焰轰炸 off Cooldown

风暴雕文 should be used in 火焰协调 unless you need the Blind from 大地协调.

Defense

Tempest generally has pretty poor passive survivability due to the combination of lowest Health and Armor pool, as well as a lack of passive traits to make up for it.

Your Overloads are Stun Breaks, grant you Protection and their corresponding aura thanks to 坚固传导 and 动荡传导.

Keep casting and Heal up naturally from 再生纹章. The more you cast, the more you Heal.

Cast 元素雕文 in 流水协调 for a large Heal and Condition Cleanse with 冲击水流.

大地协调 has plenty of defensive skills:

• 沙尘风暴 is a source of pulsing Blindness
• 大地过载 grants you Stability, Protection and Magnetic Aura. It also Immobilizes and Cripples nearby enemies.

Use 潮汐激荡 and 气流漩涡 to control packs of enemies.

Crowd Control

Tornado Notes

飓风形态 turns you into, you guessed it, a tornado, which can Launch enemies within the skill's Radius every three seconds. It pulses a maximum of five times.

Here's what you need to know:

• 残骸飓风 throws rocks at enemies, dealing Knockback. Switch to this skill instantly upon entering the transformation. Make sure to stand in the enemy's hitbox to ensure 残骸飓风 projectile hits
• 尘埃冲锋 makes you charge towards the direction you're facing, Launching enemies hit by you. Use this skill off Cooldown.
• Try to avoid hitting trash mobs with the tornado as to not send them flying. No one likes to chase trash.

Here's what's nice to know:

• We are here for Defiance Break, the following skills don't help us with that.
• 电能飓风 shoots bouncing lightning and 沙尘飓风 shoots 魔尘沙暴.
• 元素安魂曲 makes you launch several projectiles dependent on mode selected. This skill adds a little bit of extra damage overall.

Trait Notes

for Stability when Overloading at a cost of damage.

for group Alacrity at a cost of lower personal damage. For more information on required changes, refer to the Gameplay Guide.

Equipment Notes

Dagger or Scepter can be taken instead of main hand Pistol if you do not have access to Secrets of the Obscure (SotO).

• Dagger provides decent damage and, generally speaking, lower complexity but can prove tricky due to forced movement from and .
• Scepter provides great damage and maintains solid Ranged damage. It's a very good alternative.

• provides sustain through Life Siphon.

Janthir Wilds Relics:

Secrets of the Obscure Relics:
