Key Concepts

Your Damage is heavily related to your Heat and your 手雷包. Keep your Heat high but make sure you do not 过热. It's quite inconvenient.

激光利刃 is your Damage from Heat trait. 强化储存单元 further synergizes with this by granting you Might.

Whenever you use 停止光子熔炉, you will passively lose Heat.

Dealing Damage

The core "burst" rotation inside 启用光子熔炉 looks like this:

1. 电晕爆炸
2. 光子闪击
3. 光子墙 → 手雷弹幕 → 发射光子墙 Complete up to two Auto Chains, but avoid 过热 at all costs.
4. 电晕爆炸
5. 停止光子熔炉

The note on step three is very, very important. Do not 过热.

Once you've done your burst and used 停止光子熔炉, you will need to wait for your Heat to decrease. At around 80 Heat, you can consider using 启用光子熔炉 to restart.

Make sure to use the following big Damage skills off Cooldown:

• 闪耀弧光
• 折射切割刀
• 手雷弹幕
• 投掷地雷
• 破片手雷
• 剑刃爆发
• 粒子加速器

Use 激光碟片 and 巅峰射线 should be used off Cooldown when at high Heat.

Keep in mind that 巅峰射线 is a priority skill and will cancel most other skills.

Your Auto Chain, due to 闪光马刀, reduces the Cooldown of your other Sword skills.

The following combo provides decent Damage and Blocks / Reflects Missiles:

• 光子墙 → 手雷弹幕 → 发射光子墙.

If you can, pair 破片手雷 with 毒气手雷 → 冰冻手雷

Use 手雷包 to tag mobs to make sure you steal all the precious loot.

There are a few traits you need to know about to maximise your Damage:

• causes your skills to inflict Vulnerability.
• provides you with 15% additional Critical Chance if you are within the Range threshold. Pay attention!
• provides you with 15% additional Critical Chance against Bleeding enemies.
• increases Damage based on the number of conditions on your target. has many useful conditions tucked away inside.
