Key Concepts

Power Renegade is a very tanky primarily a duelist, but can also teamfight and roam. Deals significant damage despite being very hard to kill.

Power Renegade gains access to Citadel Orders. 英勇指挥 图标英勇指挥 granting you Might and refreshing the duration of Kalla's Fervor stacks, you do have a permanent uptime of this buff. 高层命令 图标高层命令 grants you and allies Alacrity for a short duration.

传奇龙魂使姿态 图标传奇龙魂使姿态 has a unique interaction with Band Together, using a summon enhances the next summon you place. This interaction cannot be started with the elite or heal skill.

压倒优势 图标压倒优势 can be used for extra damage in 传奇刺客姿态 图标传奇刺客姿态.

Dealing Damage

Power Renegade gains access to Kalla's Fervor, upkeeping this buff is done by Evading attacks or by attacking your enemy. All of your 传奇龙魂使姿态 图标传奇龙魂使姿态 summons deal great damage, but 冰刃怒火 图标冰刃怒火 and 断魂之峰 图标断魂之峰 are used more often. 刃爪之怒 图标刃爪之怒 deals okay damage and shouldn't be used at all unless finishing off a target and needing that little bit of extra damage.

These are your big hitting skills on Sword:

  1. 冰冻隔离 图标冰冻隔离 deals more damage if it only hits one target.
  2. 无情突击 图标无情突击

These are your big hitting skills on Hammer:

  1. 聚能崩灭 图标聚能崩灭 use off cooldown.
  2. 相位猛击 图标相位猛击 deals significant damage and is also an evade.
  3. 迷雾力场 图标迷雾力场 creates a projectile blocking cone in front of you, use off cooldown.

On both weapon sets, your both autoattacks deal great damage, especially when paired with 压倒优势 图标压倒优势.

位面穿行 图标位面穿行 is a powerful tool to chase down enemies.

压倒优势 图标压倒优势 deals significant damage when striking enemies.

Legendary Stance Swap as often as possible.

Defense

Good offense is a great defense in the case of this build, due to using 辩证澄清 图标辩证澄清, 迷雾翻腾 图标迷雾翻腾 and 萨奇洛斯古物 图标萨奇洛斯古物 any damage you deal will heal you for a percentage amount. 断魂之峰 图标断魂之峰 is a great tool to deal damage, but it heals you greatly.

断刃壁垒 图标断刃壁垒 is a great skill that heals your allies aswell. Grants Barrier if it is enhanced.

You have a lot of access to great defensive boons like: Vigor, Protection and Regeneration.

Your Weapons have a variety of defensive skills:

  • Sword has access to 无情突击 图标无情突击 which Evades attacks.
  • Shield has access to 茂盛特使 图标茂盛特使 which heals, grants Protection and Aegis to allies. Additionally has access to 水晶休眠 图标水晶休眠 which blocks and pulses healing to nearby allies.
  • Hammer has access to 相位猛击 图标相位猛击 which is a Evade.

You can Stun Break with 暗刃勇气 图标暗刃勇气 or 暗影回撤 图标暗影回撤. 暗刃勇气 图标暗刃勇气 also grants Stability, deals damage and Dazes your foe.

You only have a few condition cleanses which come from 净化引导 图标净化引导 and 超级洁净法印 图标超级洁净法印 but this is compensated due to running Retribution Trait Line which grants you near permanent uptime of Resolution.

附魔匕首 图标附魔匕首 doesn't initially heal for much but by hitting enemies causes you to life siphon from them healing for much more.
