Rotation & Extras

Step One: Offensive Dodging

Daredevil’s main focus is to use the specialization’s improved Dodge ability to both deal damage and maintain damage modifier uptime (in this case, 弹跳闪避 图标弹跳闪避 and 浩劫专家 图标浩劫专家).

弹跳闪避 图标弹跳闪避 lasts 6 seconds, and it refreshes every time you use your Dodge, and 浩劫专家 图标浩劫专家 grants you damage whenever your Endurance bar is not full.

You’ll want to space out your Dodges every few seconds to balance your Endurance spending.

For now, you’ll fill the gaps between Dodges with Auto Attack with the following basic rotation:

  1. Dodge
  2. Fill time with three full Auto Attack Chains.
  3. Dodge

Use 顺手牵羊 图标顺手牵羊 to replenish one bar of Endurance whenever it’s running low via 妙手耐力 图标妙手耐力.

Make sure to land near the enemy with your Dodge to hit them with 弹跳 图标弹跳.

Dodging can interrupt abilities if they aren't finished casting. Practice the timing for your Dodge so that this happens as little as possible.

Step Two: Initiative Skills

The next step is to add some damaging Initiative skills; in this case, 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋.

You can cast 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋 instead of some of your Auto Attack Chains between your Dodges, for example:

  1. Dodge
  2. 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋
  3. Auto Attack Chain x2
  4. Dodge

Whenever you have the Initiative for it, you can add a second cast of 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋 in Step 2.

Step Three: Utility Skills

Now it’s time to add your damaging utilities: 铁拳乱舞 图标铁拳乱舞 and 阻碍匕首 图标阻碍匕首.

Hitting all 5 hits of 铁拳乱舞 图标铁拳乱舞 will also make it flip over into 铁掌攻心 图标铁掌攻心 for a few seconds. Make sure to cast it as well.

Both of these skills deal a good amount of damage, and replenish a small amount of Endurance each via 顽强斗士 图标顽强斗士. You’ll want to use them off-cooldown between Dodges. Here’s an example:

  1. Dodge
  2. 虚弱回旋 图标虚弱回旋 x2
  3. 铁拳乱舞 图标铁拳乱舞阻碍匕首 图标阻碍匕首铁掌攻心 图标铁掌攻心
  4. Dodge
