Heal Alacrity Willbender grants Alacrity through 流动决心 图标流动决心, both through the cast itself and striking enemies under the passive effect afterward. Because of this, and its use of a Spear, the build has a lot of forced movement to take into account and should not tank bosses if it does not have to. On the plus side, it is among the most mobile builds in the game. It also has strong utility options, especially if swapping weapon setups to match specific needs of the group.

Elite Skill Options

More skill options and information can be found in the gameplay guide.

纯粹决心 图标纯粹决心 does not increase the effectiveness of 流动决心 图标流动决心 and therefore only removes conditions.

  • 活力壁垒 图标活力壁垒 for increased Healing, at the cost of Protection overcap. This trait synergizes will with Aegis granted by 英勇冲撞 图标英勇冲撞.
  • 冰川之心 图标冰川之心 for extra Healing output whenever disabling or Chilling a foe.

More trait variations can be found in the gameplay guide.

  • 群聚古物 图标群聚古物 offers slightly lower Healing output, with the option to grant Barrier.
  • 骁骑兵古物 图标骁骑兵古物 can be used for more Cleanse if multiple Shouts are equipped.
  • 悲伤古物 图标悲伤古物 offers a burst of Healing, reduces damage taken, and Blocks Projectiles, but requires an elite cast to be used, with a 30-second Cooldown.
  • A Hammer can be used in place of Spear to free up the third utility skill slot. When doing so, Staff is used for burst-Healing and Swiftness, while the build camps Hammer for sustain healing. Certain boon output will be worse on this setup, however.

Rotation & Extras

Boons

Heal Alacrity Willbender relies on its Virtues' passive effects to grant several boons, including Alacrity. On top of this, several skills should be cast when available in order to upkeep its complement of boons for the squad:

Virtues

Willbender Virtues take effect in two ways: a primary attack with instantaneous effects, and a passive "stance" that grants effects every 5 successful hits against enemies. Virtues also put down 破锋烈焰 图标破锋烈焰 which pulse damage.

Casting Virtues also grants a few boons to self only, and also trigger certain traits. Notably, 神圣清算 图标神圣清算 will grant Might whenever triggering any passive.

  • 急速正义 图标急速正义 will attack the target, and immediately grant 3 Might to allies. It will then passively burn enemies each 5 hits for 8 seconds.
  • 流动决心 图标流动决心 will evade, and immediately grant Alacrity and Regeneration to allies and self-heal. It will then passively generate more Alacrity every 5 hits for 6 seconds. 战斗灵气 图标战斗灵气 shares these boons with allies.
  • 英勇冲撞 图标英勇冲撞 will shadowstep, and immediately grant Protection to allies. It also self-grants Aegis and Stability. Every 5 hits will give the Willbender more Aegis and Stability.

More Virtue effects are discussed in the gameplay guide.

Healing and Cleanse
