Quickness and Facets

Often praised as one of the best boon supports, Herald has quickly risen to fame as a build that's easy to learn while providing amazing boon uptime even while you /sleep.

First things first, 高尚慈悲 pulses Quickness when you have 6 or more Upkeep. To maintain Quickness, use the following skills in each stance:

• In 传奇巨龙姿态, use 黑暗多面体, 混沌多面体, and 自然多面体.
• In 传奇刺客姿态, use 压倒优势.

There's more to Facets than just using them to maintain Quickness; the skills are multi-faceted and it's important to understand how they work to manage them correctly.

• The first activation of each Facet has no cast time and can therefore be used while casting other skills. Each Facet costs Upkeep and pulses a unique boon while active.
• The secondary activation of each Facet is an active skill that consumes the Facet for an effect. Until the skill is first-activated again, it will not pulse boons or contribute Upkeep.
• 圣光多面体 is the exception. As a heal skill, its first-activation will cancel any ongoing skill cast, but its consume skill, 圣光灌注, has no cast time.

See the Introduction to Revenant for a breakdown of each Facet and what boon it provides.

Step One - Basic Gameplay Loop

力量爆发 is the consume skill of 力量多面体 and provides a buff that increases your damage dealt by 15% for 10 seconds. The rotation is structured to maximize the uptime of this buff by using 力量多面体 off Cooldown. 元素多面体 has the same Cooldown so the skills are always used together.

Starting in 传奇巨龙姿态, the full rotation loop is:

1. Upon entering 传奇巨龙姿态, use: 元素多面体 → 元素轰击 → 力量多面体 → 力量爆发 →

黑暗多面体

2. Activate 混沌多面体 and 自然多面体
3. Filler
4. As soon as they are off Cooldown, use: 元素多面体 → 元素轰击 → 力量多面体 → 力量爆发
5. Legend swap to
7. Filler
8. Legend swap to as soon as it's off Cooldown.

For now, use Auto Attack Chains in Swords for the Filler steps of the rotation. Other weapon skills will be added in Step 3.

Step Two - Consume Facets

When used in , extends your allies' boons by 2 seconds. shares the same Cooldown, so both should be consumed before the other Facets come off Cooldown. The loop will look like:

1. Upon entering , use: → → → →

2. Activate and
3. Filler
4. Consume and
5. As soon as they are off Cooldown, use: → → →
6. Legend swap to

Step Three - Weapon Skills

Pair Greatsword with and Swords with respectively. Use your weapon skills off Cooldown, but do not interrupt your Auto Attack Chains. You can start out by using only skill 2 in each set, accompanied by Auto Chains, but your damage will be higher by incorporating more weapon skills.

Use , , and in Greatsword. You will typically only have time for one cast of , but it is by far your strongest skill.

Example of a filler:

• Auto Chain x 2

You can optionally use twice by having it be the very first and last skill in .

Use , , and in Swords.

A filler loop should look as such:

• Auto Chain x 3

and have the same Cooldown and should be used together. → will replace one Auto Chain in the Filler Loop. If timing allows, use a third in , but do not delay swapping back to .

Weapon skills generate stacks of , and can be maintained by using and frequently.
