It is strongly advised that you swap out some Harrier's pieces with Giver's pieces to increase your survivability. Communicate with your designated tank to make sure your Toughness does not exceed theirs.

Rotation & Extras

Hand Kiting Rotation:

For a smooth hand kiting experience, you will need the following boons:

Protection from:

Regeneration from:

Alacrity to be able to cast other relevant boon skills from:

Vigor to not run out of endurance from:

The following rotation ensures you will use these skills nearly off cooldown and at convenient times. You will alternate between two types of hands stacks intersparced with intermissions.

Shields stack:

  1. 闪光炮弹 图标闪光炮弹
  2. 地磁护盾 图标地磁护盾磁力反转 图标磁力反转
  3. 齿盾 图标齿盾
  4. Dodge the fifth hand spawn

Elixirs stack:

  1. 超级试剂 图标超级试剂
  2. 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 filler x 2
  3. H型试剂 图标H型试剂 (time it so the fourth hand spawns right as the skill finishes casting)
  4. Dodge the fifth hand spawn

Intermission:

  1. 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 filler x 3 (one of them specifically being 吸热炮弹 图标吸热炮弹 at your feet before an Elixirs stack)
  2. 蓄能猛攻 图标蓄能猛攻 (grants Frost Aura in 吸热炮弹 图标吸热炮弹's Ice Field)

精英炮座 图标精英炮座 fillers are 迫击炮弹 图标迫击炮弹, 毒气炮弹 图标毒气炮弹 and 试剂炮弹 图标试剂炮弹.

蓄能猛攻 图标蓄能猛攻 is a leaping skill that will be directed towards your targeted enemy. Make sure you have autotargetting disabled before the encounter and to unselect your current target before using the skill.

Mind Crush

Block 精神压制 图标精神压制 with 静电护盾 图标静电护盾.

Should you be conveniently casting 齿盾 图标齿盾 as 精神压制 图标精神压制 hits, cast 超级试剂 图标超级试剂 earlier and replace 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 fillers with 静电护盾 图标静电护盾 in the next Elixirs stack.

While this should not be necessary to upkeep Alacrity, feel free to use 屏障纹章 图标屏障纹章 after Weak Minded has run out.

Mech Priority List

  1. 危机区域 图标危机区域
  2. 屏障爆发 图标屏障爆发
  3. 爆炸重击 图标爆炸重击

Additional Notes

Spend as little time as possible in Mace to benefit from the passive healing of 爆炸区域 图标爆炸区域.

Use 药丸弹射 图标药丸弹射 on Prides to hinder their progress towards Saul. If you're on top of one, follow up with 钉盒 图标钉盒 to slow it down further.

Try to keep tab of your mech's position, to ensure it does not cast its skills away from allies. Use 爆炸重击 图标爆炸重击, Return to Me and Attack My Target if the situation demands it. Avoid casting mech command skills while your squad is in the demonic realm.

You can swap out 分散治疗 图标分散治疗 with 工事瓦解 图标工事瓦解 in Inventions to gain moderately more sustain. Use 磁铁 图标磁铁 in place of 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 fillers during elixirs stacks when running that trait. Collect the med pack dropped by the trait as you Dodge off the stack of hands.
