Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

Since Rifle already covers all of your needs, your secondary weapon set is completely flexible. You might want to consider the following options:

  • Spear for evading attacks, movement and stunning foes.
  • Sword for removing boons and evading attacks.
  • Scepter for blocking attacks.
  • Focus for pulling foes together.
  • Pistol for Defiance Break.
  • Shield for blocking attacks and stunning foes.

If all the options intimidate you then Spear is a very solid default secondary weapon for its versatility and flexibility!

Check the detailed section on each weapon below!

You can replace 菲勃古物 图标菲勃古物, if you do not need or solve Swiftness in another way, with other notable relics:

You can replace 恢复咒语 图标恢复咒语 with 次子传说 图标次子传说 for burst healing.

Your utility and elite skills are very flexible and you should consider all options. Note that Mantras and Tales will additionally heal via 咒语回复 图标咒语回复 and 娓娓道来 图标娓娓道来.

For Defiance Break options, please refer to the Crowd Control section at the bottom of the page.

Notable Chaos Change: 万华领悟 图标万华领悟 paired with 群体隐形 图标群体隐形 can be useful to run past insignificant foes.

Notable Inspiration Changes:

Notable Troubadour Changes:

The three grandmasters are very flexible:

  • 变调和弦 图标变调和弦 provides the most burst Defiance Break of the three, while also having more Healing if you pair 和谐竖琴 图标和谐竖琴 and 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强.
  • 首尾呼应 图标首尾呼应 provides the most sustained Defiance Break.
  • 节奏爆发 图标节奏爆发 provides the most raw Healing output while offering no additional Defiance Break, use this if you do not need Defiance Break.

You can also take 切分律动 图标切分律动 over 娓娓道来 图标娓娓道来 for slightly more Defiance Break at the expense of some Healing and making Protection tighter to upkeep.

Rotation & Extras

Opener

This sequence provides your group with the most important boons at the beginning of combat.

  1. 鼓舞成像 图标鼓舞成像 3
  2. 活跃琵琶 图标活跃琵琶 F1
  3. 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强 F5 + 魂守传说 图标魂守传说
  4. 跋山涉水 图标跋山涉水 2
  5. 惑心长笛 图标惑心长笛 F2

You can skip 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强 in the opener if you have 魂守传说 图标魂守传说.

You can obviously change the opener based on the encounter or your individual skill choices - just make sure you apply Quickness, Fury, and 25 Might as quickly as possible.

Key Concepts

Build Notes, in particular by casting the following skills.

Spend Notes to play Instruments as soon as they recharged:

  • Spare Notes to play 活跃琵琶 图标活跃琵琶 F1 for Might and Quickness.
  • At least two Notes to play 惑心长笛 图标惑心长笛 F2 for Protection and Vigor.
  • As many Notes as necessary to play 和谐竖琴 图标和谐竖琴 F4 for healing.

Cast your remaining skills as follows:

  • 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强 F5 while as many Instruments as possible are active. 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强 F5 will grant boons, as well as healing and granting barrier to you and your allies. With 变调和弦 图标变调和弦 your 音浪渐强 图标音浪渐强 F5 will gain an additional effect depending on the instrument you used before casting it. As a healer we are mainly interested in the additional effect of 迷神手鼓 图标迷神手鼓 F3, which provides more Defiance Break, or 和谐竖琴 图标和谐竖琴 F4, which provides more Healing.
  • 鼓舞成像 图标鼓舞成像 3 grants Fury and Might and you should therefore cast it off cooldown. It's sequence skill, 成像分离 图标成像分离, instead heals allies for a large amount, cleanses conditions, and blinds foes — cast it only when you need to save your allies.
  • 奇点射击 图标奇点射击 5 grants Barrier and Resistance to allies. You can reactivate it to open a portal from its location, but that will increase the Cooldown.

Weapon Usage

Rifle Usage

Rifle is your primary weapon, which you will use most of the time.

跋山涉水 图标跋山涉水 2 generates a note, grants Regeneration, and heals allies for a small amount. Cast it as often as possible.

鼓舞成像 图标鼓舞成像 3 grants Fury and Might and you should therefore cast it regularly. Its sequence skill, 成像分离 图标成像分离, instead heals allies for a large amount, cleanses conditions, and blinds foes - cast it whenever you need to save your allies.

幻影狙击 图标幻影狙击 4 deals moderate Defiance Break.

奇点射击 图标奇点射击 5 grants Barrier and Resistance to allies. You can reactivate it to open a portal from its location, but that will increase the Cooldown.

Spear Usage

Spear is versatile weapon that has access to Evades, condition cleanse, Boon Strip, Defiance Damage and Movement.

间隙危机 图标间隙危机 2 grants a note and gives Clarity. Skills will consume Clarity and get empowered in various ways.

虚拟反转 图标虚拟反转 3 Evades attacks, cleanses conditions on yourself and Heals you if you successfully Evade an attack. Clarity empowers the self-healing portion.

幻影长矛 图标幻影长矛 4 summons a Phantasm (two with Clarity) and lunges you forward 450 units while stripping boons from any potential adversary in your path. It also grants Swiftness to the caster, while being a leap finisher. The phantasm will Cripple, or if used with Clarity will also Immobilize.

精神崩塌 图标精神崩塌 5 teleports you a distance of 600 towards your target and if cast with Clarity also Stuns for 2 seconds. Additionally, it resets 间隙危机 图标间隙危机 2 and is a blast finisher.

Sword Usage

Sword is flexible weapon with access to boon strip, mobility and Evades.

The last part of the Sword auto-attack chain will strip boons.

恍惚狂热 图标恍惚狂热 2 is an Evade on a short cooldown.

利刃跃击 图标利刃跃击 3 leap (600 units) forward with your sword while leaving an anchor from the initial leap position, reactivate the flipover skill 利刃回还 图标利刃回还 3 to return to the anchor! This is effectively a 1200 range movement skill if utilised well. Upon hitting your target with the Sword you gain a note.

Scepter Usage

Scepter is a defensive weapon with access to a short-cooldown Block and lots of note generation.

The last part of the Scepter auto-attack chain generates a note.

幻象反击 图标幻象反击 2 blocks incoming attacks and generates 2 notes. Alternatively, you can use the recast to generate a singular note.

Focus Usage

Focus is mainly used for the powerful Pull in 凡尘帷幔 图标凡尘帷幔 4堕入虚无 图标堕入虚无 4 but also has use in Projectile Destruction.

凡尘帷幔 图标凡尘帷幔 4 places a wall of energy that grants Swiftness to allies who pass through, and conversely, inflicts Cripple on foes who pass through it. Its flipover - 堕入虚无 图标堕入虚无 is a powerful Pull with a large Radius of 600.

幻影守望 图标幻影守望 5 summons a Phantasm that generates a small protective field which will destroy any projectile that touches it.

聚能反馈 图标聚能反馈 makes it so both the wall from 凡尘帷幔 图标凡尘帷幔 4 and the field from the 幻影守望 图标幻影守望 5 Phantasm reflect, which makes it a very good situational trait.

Pistol Usage

Pistol mainly sees use due to the strong Defiance Break in 魔法子弹 图标魔法子弹

幻影斗士 图标幻影斗士 4 inflicts Cripple and summons a Phantasm.

魔法子弹 图标魔法子弹 5 shots a bouncing bullet, the first bounce will Stun for 2.5 seconds, the second Dazes for 2 seconds, and the third Blinds.

Shield Usage

Shield is a strong defensive offhand with access to additional Might and Swiftness

回忆幻像 图标回忆幻像 4 blocks incoming attacks and summons a Phantasm that grants Protection. If you blocked an attack, you can cast its sequence skill, 流忆残影 图标流忆残影, which has the same properties.

时间潮汐 图标时间潮汐 5 can stun foes twice to deal high Defiance Break. It's also useful for granting additional Might and Swiftness.
