Key Concepts

Boon Renegade is a versatile support, focused on providing consistent Ranged Damage and boon application through 传奇龙魂使姿态 图标传奇龙魂使姿态 and 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 utility skills.

Boon Renegade offers high Resistance, Stability alongside a lot of Ranged Damage through Spear and Short Bow skills.

Additionally,Boon Renegade benefits from a lot of self Quickness generation through the 残忍暴行 图标残忍暴行 trait.

Your main goal is to manage Energy efficiently and shift between stances and weapons Off Cooldown to maximise value from your skills whilst dealing damage through 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭 and 灵魂碾压 图标灵魂碾压.

Dealing Damage and Rotation

Your skills rely on an Energy cost, so to maximize how many you can use, you depend on the trait 迷雾涌能 图标迷雾涌能.

This trait activates when you swap stances while below 10 Energy, granting extra Energy. Always make sure to drop below 10 Energy before swapping stances to benefit from it consistently.

Boon Renegade has a relatively simple rotation relying on 传奇龙魂使姿态 图标传奇龙魂使姿态, 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 and Spear + Short Bow skills.

Start in 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 and try to get in combat to start generating Energy. An example of your rotation priority is:

  1. 稳固激发 图标稳固激发 towards the enemy if engaging or towards your group's tail if kiting to maximise Stability output.
  2. 崇高矮人 图标崇高矮人 to grant allies damage reduction.
  3. Swap stance to 传奇龙魂使姿态 图标传奇龙魂使姿态 below 10 Energy to benefit from the extra Energy.
  4. 冰刃怒火 图标冰刃怒火 followed by an empowered 暗刃勇气 图标暗刃勇气 through Band Together to grant allies Stability, Resistance and Protection.
  5. Use filler skills until you can swap to 传奇矮人姿态 图标传奇矮人姿态 below 10 Energy.

Weapon and Filler skills

Outside your stance rotation, your primary goal is to deal Damage. Your skill priority is:

  1. 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭
  2. 灵魂碾压 图标灵魂碾压
  3. 深渊霹雳 图标深渊霹雳 to reduce the cooldown of 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭 and to Pull enemies towards it's center.
  4. 深渊原力 图标深渊原力 to reduce the cooldown of 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭.
  5. 深渊突袭 图标深渊突袭 to reduce the cooldown of 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭 and to reposition yourself out of danger and benefit from the Evade frame.
  6. 七箭 图标七箭 whilst being careful not to get the skill reflected.
  7. 深渊突袭 图标深渊突袭/深渊打击 图标深渊打击 (Your Spear Auto Attack) to reduce the cooldown of 深渊毁灭 图标深渊毁灭.

Your filler skills are important so you can efficiently drop below 10 Energy.

  • 英勇指挥 图标英勇指挥 should be used Off Cooldown.
  • 灼刃 图标灼刃 should be used for additional Crowd Control
  • 断刃壁垒 图标断刃壁垒 can be used for additional Healing and sustain on allies. Make sure to not waste your Band Together on this skill and only use it after an empowered 暗刃勇气 图标暗刃勇气.
  • 断魂之峰 图标断魂之峰 can be used for 1 tick to drop your energy to grant your allies extra Damage and Healing.
  • 强制束缚 图标强制束缚 to Taunt and Slow enemies.
  • 复仇之锤 图标复仇之锤 to deal Damage around you and gain damage reduction.

You should aim to Weapon Swap Off Cooldown to maximise your self Quickness output from the 残忍暴行 图标残忍暴行

Defense

This build requires good positioning and you should aim to stay at the back of your squad to avoid tanking unnecessary Damage. Using your Dodges will lower your Critical Chance because of the 残暴冲力 图标残暴冲力 trait so try to use them carefully.

Your primary defenses will still be:
