Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Strength Spellbreaker is a duelist based on killing its opponents in a quick and clean burst. Said bursts will always be based on hitting a CC ability and following up with damage.

It is a really hard spec to pilot because of the low amount of passive sustain and strong defensive cooldowns.

Damage

Strength Spellbreaker needs to hit a CC skill before dealing any significant damage, it will give you Quickness, Might and Fury. Staff offers 快速拉拽 图标快速拉拽, after hitting it you will want to quickly swap to Spear which is where most of your damage come from.

After swapping weapon quickly use :

Such burst doesn't recquire to start with 快速拉拽 图标快速拉拽. 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋, 武者束缚 图标武者束缚 pull and 长矛猛击 图标长矛猛击 can replace it. 武者束缚 图标武者束缚 is applied after hitting either 鹞鹰投掷 图标鹞鹰投掷, 胜利之路 图标胜利之路 or 全力反击 图标全力反击.

Beware of not canceling 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 CC with 破坏投掷 图标破坏投掷 and stick to the pure damage abilities.

You can still utilise some staff abilities for damage although it's mainly a defensive weapon.

胜利之路 图标胜利之路 deals good damage on top of its healing and triggers 武者束缚 图标武者束缚.

英勇飞跃 图标英勇飞跃 is really similar but is also a dash and gives Might plus Fury.

Also note that the staff autoattack chain is really strong, especially if done with Quickness.

链接破碎者 图标链接破碎者 might look like a pure healing skill but you can use the Unblockable from it to hit a CC on a blocking target.

Defense

全力反击 图标全力反击 is your most spammable defensive ability, fully canceling the first hit and then dodging the rest. It will also reset the CD of your burst skills if it hits and enemy.

Staff is your main source of sustain. Almost every ability on it includes healing.

胜利之路 图标胜利之路 doesn't need to hit enemies to heal you.

Despite 链接破碎者 图标链接破碎者 being a dash it's usually better used on top of yourself to quickly get the healing and boons.

蔑视吼叫 图标蔑视吼叫 brings Heal and Resolution.

Your heal is 伤势愈合 图标伤势愈合, it will cleanse condition and give you a short damage buff.

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

You also play the complete opposite skill 痛苦忍耐 图标痛苦忍耐 or if you prefer you can change it for 平衡姿态 图标平衡姿态.

In dire situations, 公牛冲锋 图标公牛冲锋 and 长矛猛击 图标长矛猛击 provide dodges on top of their other effects.

全力反击 图标全力反击 can bug if you jump while casting it.
