[&DQUcPSMbTT+FAAAAWR0AADMBAABgHQAAfB0AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]Power Antiquary is a high-damage build that has a high amount of variance. Its volatile nature promotes high-risk, high-reward gameplay, but requires a lot of practice to properly improvise in combat.

Skills
The guide on this page teaches how to use both featured weapon sets in tandem; however, you can choose to play either weapon as a standalone set for a modest average DPS loss. The second video has an example showcase for each weapon.
-
Always carry
斯克鼠乱斗 as your Elite Skill, as a large amount of your damage depends on it. -
You can replace
卡纳克硬币投掷 for any other relevant utility, such as 
暗影疾步 or 
准备暗影传送门. -
镰爪毒液 is your strongest self-heal; it also provides substantial subgroup healing. -
If you don't have the 5
+5精准痛苦灌注s, you can reach 100% Critical Chance by using this alternate gear set, at the cost of a single point of Power: -
1 Assassin's Amulet.
-
Full Berserker's for the rest of the gear.
Rotation & Extras
Opener
Rotation Concept
Use Staff as your main weapon set and spent intiative only on 
虚弱回旋 for damage while wielding it. 
石峰会加农炮 should be used off-Cooldown for damage.
When you roll a 
金属军团吉他, you will execute the following Guitar Loop:
If you have excess Initiative while on Dagger/Pistol, spend it on 
暗影投射. Otherwise, save it for when you're back on Staff.
Never delay 
斯克鼠横扫; use it off-Cooldown to gain Artifacts and refresh your 
斗志高涨 stacks.
Use 卡纳克硬币投掷 off-Cooldown for Initiative. Be careful to use them when they are fully off-Cooldown, as the Backfire for this skill is extremely punishing.
Use 斯克鼠乱斗 off-Cooldown for Artifacts and Initiative. Follow the Artifact Priority Guide below while it is active.
Artifact Priority Guide
Prioritize your Artifacts in the following order:
When possible, prioritize having different Artifact buffs active, rather than using the same artifact many times in a row!
Dagger under 50% Boss Health
If boss health is at least 50% or less, modify the Guitar Loop to use two 
钻心s between each 
背刺 instead:
If you're ever stuck on Dagger/Pistol for an extended time while the boss is under 50% health, spend your Initiative on 钻心 as your main damage skill.
Rotation Notes
- Purposefully trigger the backfire on 石峰会加农炮 for extra damage. It won't hurt much, and the sustain from
恶意纹章 will keep you topped off. - You can precast 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.
- 背刺 can interrupt other skill casts, so be sure to let the previous action finish!
- When you use 斯克鼠乱斗 or 斯克鼠横扫 to generate more Artifacts, try to not overwrite any current Artifacts.
- While 斯克鼠乱斗 is not active, if you have an active buff from one of your priority Artifacts, and have another one of the same Artifact, try to space out its usage to avoid overwriting the buff.
