Key Concepts

Paragon is a duelist with really high Healing and a crazy amount of Dodge.

It is a really easy spec to pilot because of the crazy Dodge amount and every ability hitting really hard thanks to really high Might stack and uptime.

Damage

Paragon is really straight forward. The Chants provide active and passive Healing and Might. You should try to always keep up 行动吟唱 图标行动吟唱 to generate as much Might as possible. Getting high Motivation from using Chants is key to dealing high Damage, use every Chant as early as possible to stack it up at the beginning of a fight.

Use "为了正义!" 图标"为了正义!" if you don't have Fury or at least 15 Might.

Your weapons abilities can be used off cooldown, if you're out of options for a few seconds you can simply Dodge or reactive Chants.

Spear is your only form of Crowd Control and as such can set itself up.

  • 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷 is a really fast two seconds Immobilize.
  • 鹞鹰投掷 图标鹞鹰投掷 is your most important skill to land and should be your priority after hitting 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷.
  • 烈阳支援 图标烈阳支援, your next priority skill to use on an Immobilized target, providing pure Damage.
  • 重伤之矛 图标重伤之矛 pulses Damage in AoE. You should use it in the middle of a node to cover as much of it as possible.

Greatsword is a very obvious but hard hitting weapon, having multiple threats in its kit.

  • 弧线斩切 图标弧线斩切 is important to hit but can be used off cooldown to pressure your opponent. It will deal higher Damage on targets below 50% health.
  • 旋风斩 图标旋风斩 should be used from the edge of the node through said node to cover as much space as possible. It's very safe to use as 旋风斩 图标旋风斩 Evades.
  • 回旋剑 图标回旋剑, the one Ranged ability of Greatsword. Use it as engage or when not in melee range.
  • 突击斩 图标突击斩 provides amazing mobility which you can use to rotate or engage on someone. It can easily bug out if used in melee range and actually take you away from your target.
  • 百刃斩 图标百刃斩 can be tempting to press but locks you in place, making it by far your weakest skill.

Using the option Snap Ground Target to Current Target can help you land Spear skills easily.

Defense

长矛猛击 图标长矛猛击 gives you Evade and Knockback, making it really strong at disengaging in any situation.

Your heal is 伤势愈合 图标伤势愈合, it additionally has five Condition Removal.

"重整旗鼓!" 图标"重整旗鼓!" is your instant cast Condition Removal. As such it should be used carefully into condition matchups but almost spammed for stunbreak in power matchups.

You also play the (almost) complete opposite skill 平衡姿态 图标平衡姿态, giving pulsing Stability and immunity to critical strikes.

Paragon has access to another Stun Break, 自由吟唱 图标自由吟唱 which also gives Stability.

康复吟唱 图标康复吟唱 gives Barrier and Condition Removal on use.

行动吟唱 图标行动吟唱 active and passive Might make for a great deal of Healing and Endurance.
