Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

  • Always carry 斯克鼠乱斗 图标斯克鼠乱斗 as your Elite Skill, as your Alacrity uptime depends on it.

  • 镰爪毒液 图标镰爪毒液 is your strongest self-heal; it also provides substantial subgroup healing.

  • Running a full set of Ritualist's armor instead is around a ~3,000 DPS loss.

  • Relic alternatives:

    • 荆棘古物 图标荆棘古物 as a powerful alternative in encounters with long phases and incoming boss damage. The arena's pulsing damage aura in many encounters is attributed to the boss!
    • 碎层古物 图标碎层古物 gives roughly equivalent performance, but does not cleave.

Rotation & Extras

守财藏家 图标守财藏家 grants Alacrity, Barrier and Might to nearby allies when you cast an Artifact in combat. Prioritize casting an Artifact whenever possible to maintain boons.

Opener

Precast 准备千针万箭 图标准备千针万箭 up to five minutes before the fight, as it Recharges while armed. You can reset its Cooldown with Mushroom King's Blessing when practicing.

Prime a Spear combo so you can start with the bonus for 杂念投掷 图标杂念投掷 when you cast it in this opener.

  1. 撒播蒺藜 图标撒播蒺藜斯克鼠横扫 图标斯克鼠横扫 (+detonate 千针万箭 图标千针万箭 during this cast)
  2. 杂念投掷 图标杂念投掷
  3. Spend Artifacts → 斯克鼠乱斗 图标斯克鼠乱斗
  • Spear skills 2 and 3 are each a sequence of 3 skills: Lead Attack → Follow Up → Finisher. Using a skill from either sequence will progress both sequences.
  • After using a Finisher:

Rotation Concept

Use the following Spear sequences as your main damage source:

Always start on this sequence whenever you engage an enemy or after a Stealth Attack:

Then, continue casting the following sequence as much as possible:

When low on Initiative, do a Stealth Attack sequence instead to refill it:

Prioritze using Artifacts at all times for damage and Initiative. Keep in mind the following priority when picking between different Artifacts:

  1. 召唤氪族炮台 图标召唤氪族炮台 OR (If you can reset the cooldown of 蜘蛛毒液 图标蜘蛛毒液 or 准备千针万箭 图标准备千针万箭)
  2. 塑形者冲刺弹 图标塑形者冲刺弹 (if you don't already have the buff from it)
  3. 雾灼迫击炮 图标雾灼迫击炮
  4. 风裔日相水晶 图标风裔日相水晶, 查克虫护盾 图标查克虫护盾 OR 金属军团吉他 图标金属军团吉他

Use all your damaging utilities off-Cooldown.

Rotation Notes

  • Use 斯克鼠横扫 图标斯克鼠横扫 and 斯克鼠乱斗 图标斯克鼠乱斗 off- Cooldown to generate more Artifacts, but try to not overwrite any current Artifacts with them!
  • You can precast 斯克鼠横扫 图标斯克鼠横扫 without a target to get an Artifact before combat or during downtime. In real encounters, make sure your Cooldown will be available before combat starts.
  • You can delay 蜘蛛毒液 图标蜘蛛毒液 and/or 准备千针万箭 图标准备千针万箭 until the first set of Artifacts from 斯克鼠乱斗 图标斯克鼠乱斗 to improve your chances of getting a reset via .
  • Spear combo sequences only resets after several seconds if left incomplete, letting you input a skill or two on demand without interrupting your combo.
  • Your Spear inputs can be queued in two ways: either continuously pressing the input, or holding down the next input for combo sequences. Queuing inputs is key to performing well on this build as it is fast paced and there is very little downtime, so experiment with what works best for you.
