An example Shroud on Dagger:

  1. 黑暗弹幕 图标黑暗弹幕
  2. Auto Attack x 3
  3. 吞噬切割 图标吞噬切割
  4. Auto Attack x 4
  5. 黑暗弹幕 图标黑暗弹幕贪食跃冲 图标贪食跃冲致命抽取 图标致命抽取

  7. 吞噬切割 图标吞噬切割
  8. Auto Attack x 2

Dagger and Greatsword

Dagger

  1. 饥饿漩涡 图标饥饿漩涡
  2. 黑暗契约 图标黑暗契约
  3. 吞噬面容 图标吞噬面容
  4. 狼吞虎咽 图标狼吞虎咽
  5. 消食殆尽 图标消食殆尽
  6. 生命虹吸 图标生命虹吸

Greatsword

  1. 掘墓剑斩 图标掘墓剑斩
  2. 死亡漩涡 图标死亡漩涡
  3. 黑暗抓攫 图标黑暗抓攫 (if available)
  4. 夜幕降临 图标夜幕降临

Once the enemy reaches 50% Health, add 掘墓剑斩 图标掘墓剑斩s to pad time as necessary until 夜幕降临 图标夜幕降临 is available. Sword skills should alternate between slots to avoid the hit detection delay before the skills flip to the other side. 生命虹吸 图标生命虹吸 functions as a channeled skill. Take care to not interrupt the cast by pressing other skill buttons.

Notes

Aim all your Elixirs primarily on yourself to maintain high Blight.

Cancel the lengthy aftercast of 黑暗抓攫 图标黑暗抓攫 by immediately following up with either 夜幕降临 图标夜幕降临, 承诺试剂 图标承诺试剂, Weapon Swap, Weapon Stow, or 先驱帷幕 图标先驱帷幕.

先驱帷幕 图标先驱帷幕's Auto Attack, 污浊弹矢 图标污浊弹矢, is a chain of two hits. Be careful not to cancel the second hit with other abilities, as that shortens Shroud, lowering your Blight and the number of 层叠腐化 图标层叠腐化 procs.

Only use 贪食跃冲 图标贪食跃冲 and 吞噬切割 图标吞噬切割 if you have high Blight in general. If not, save it to build up the 恶毒腐化 图标恶毒腐化 modifier. All Blight is lost upon Downing. To maximize your DPS, do not Down.
