Your Black Bear can be replaced when needed:
- Pink Moa can be taken for the additional Defiance Break from
晕眩尖啸. - Brown Bear is also an option for the additional Condition Removal from
净化症状.
陷阱专长 can be taken to increase the damage of your 
冰霜陷阱.
野性号角 can be taken if you are not running Warhorn to help with boons.
醉生梦死 can be taken to help increase your Defiance Break.
顺风动势 can be taken if you're running Longbow. This will provide you with Quickness to help with your burst.
Longbow or Greatsword can be taken instead of your Sword and Axe set:
- Longbow allows you to kite easily and provides you with Ranged Damage at the cost of overall Damage
- Greatsword provides you with a Block, Defiance Break and decent burst Damage.
Dual Axes can also be used but keep in mind that you will lose out on the boons from 
荒野召唤 and Defiance Break on your Warhorn.
Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
Use your Pets to tank for you. Make sure to Swap Pets before your Pet dies. Keep them just out of the reaches of eternal peace. PETA won't like it but that's just the way it goes.
Unleash powerful melee bursts with Sword & Axe, or kite enemies at Range using your Axe & Warhorn. Start fights against higher health enemies on the latter to apply plenty of conditions and gain boons.
Dealing Damage
Here are some tips for your Sword & Axe:
猛扑, 
毒蛇奇袭, and 
伤痕轨迹 are the highest Damage and value skills, granting Vigor, applying debilitating conditions, or Pulling enemies closer.- 猛扑 and 毒蛇奇袭 are both leap skills, use them to engage or move quickly between targets in combat.
回旋防御 has a long animation that can be interrupted by moving or using another skill. It also Reflects Projectiles.- Auto Attack only when other skills are on Cooldown.
Few tips for the Axe & Warhorn set:
- Your Auto Attack bounces between enemies, granting you Might
分裂之刃 is a high Damage skill. Standing closer to the enemy will ensure more of its projectiles hit.
寒冬撕咬 can deal a good amount of Damage in a small AoE around your target, which also inflicts Chill.- Cast
猎手召唤 to Damage and inflict Vulnerability on enemies. - Use 荒野召唤 to gain Might, Fury and Swiftness, and also Daze nearby enemies.
冰霜陷阱 should be used whenever its available.
Might is also generated passively through 
自然治愈 and 
猎手凝视.
Share boons between you and your Pet with 
"同心治疗！".
Defense
Black Bear is an amazing tanking Pet with high sustain because of 
撕咬. Hide behind them and dish out the Damage from safety.
"快保护我！" grants Protection and Barrier, while Stun-Breaking you.
Proactively apply Stability with 
"群攻之力！".
Heal yourself and your Pet with "同心治疗！".
