Key concepts

Hybrid Amalgam has been granted the choice of choosing your F2-F4 toolbelt skills from 8 different ones, these skills go under Morph skills. They play a role in granting different effects and boons once you Evolve. Evolve also grants a attribute increase. The build revolves around it's ability to deal both power and condition damage.

Alot of your damage comes from 手雷包 图标手雷包 spamming 普通手雷 图标普通手雷. You can throw all of your 手雷包 图标手雷包 skills behind you, meaning you can keep moving forward while turning your camera to look behind you (or using the keybind for "Look Behind").

Dealing Damage

As a Hybrid Amalgam, your main source of damage is still 手雷包 图标手雷包. But also applies a lot of Poison, Bleeding and Burning. The only skill in the kit that doesn't deal a lot of damage is 闪光手雷 图标闪光手雷. It blinds the enemy making it still very useful. All of your 手雷包 图标手雷包 and Explosive skills can apply Bleeding and Cripple due to 飞散弹片 图标飞散弹片 in Explosives Trait Line.

All of your critical hits have a chance to apply Bleeding and Burning.

Spear has an interesting mechanic by making the target your 管流激增 图标管流激增 hits Focused. Your enemy being Focused increases the damage of Spear skills against them. All of your Spear do great damage, however 连绵起伏 图标连绵起伏 is used to setup damage.

流体状态 图标流体状态 is a powerful elite skill, Pulling enemies and dealing great power damage while applying Poison and Bleeding.

液体状态 图标液体状态 can be used offensively due to it dealing damange and applying Poison.

进化 图标进化 grants you an attribute increase. Due to the toolbelt skills this build runs, when you evolve you gain Quickness and Superspeed.

进攻协议:粉碎 图标进攻协议:粉碎 deals significant damage and applies Poison, Cripple and Immobilize if all three disks hit your target.

Using a Morph skill grants you increased power and condition damage for 10 seconds.

A basic high damage combo would look like this:

1. 闪电矛杖 图标闪电矛杖 -> 管流激增 图标管流激增

2. 进化 图标进化 -> 进攻协议:粉碎 图标进攻协议:粉碎

3. 破片手雷 图标破片手雷 -> 毒气手雷 图标毒气手雷

4. 电气炮轰 图标电气炮轰 -> 聚焦毁天灭地 图标聚焦毁天灭地

Defense

You have a lot of small heals, barrier and short evades. All of your stance skills Condition Converts.

All of your morph and toolbelt skills grant you Barrier. It is crucial to have Barrier during your healing skill 分裂状态 图标分裂状态 to increase the amount it Heals over time.

You have 2 strong Stun Break skills which are: 气体状态 图标气体状态 it also grants you movement speed and cleanses Immobilize, Chill, Cripple. It also prevents these conditions from being reapplied. 防护协议:净化 图标防护协议:净化 grants you Barrier and Protection while Condition Converts up to 4 conditions.

防护协议:保护 图标防护协议:保护 is a strong but short block.

You have 2 short Evades that can be used both offensively or defensively. 毁天灭地 图标毁天灭地 is a short range leap and Evades. 液体状态 图标液体状态 Evades.

进化 图标进化 is a great skill to use both offensively and defensively. When you use Evolve it Condition Converts. And due to running 防护协议:保护 图标防护协议:保护 and 防护协议:净化 图标防护协议:净化, you gain Barrier, Resistance, Alacrity and Replicating Straing which heals you for 8 seconds.
