Key Concepts

Support Vindicator is a versatile support in the current meta, focused on providing burst Healing, Condition Cleanses, and boon application through Saint Viktor and utility skills.

传奇同盟姿态 图标传奇同盟姿态, allows you to switch between Legendary tactics, adapting your playstyle to different combat situations.

Support Vindicator offers high Resistance, Regeneration, and substantial Condition Cleansing through its 树木之歌 图标树木之歌, Dodges and other utility skills.

Additionally, Support Vindicator excels at keeping allies sustained with 圣徒维克多的盛骨瓮 图标圣徒维克多的盛骨瓮 and 传奇半人马姿态 图标传奇半人马姿态, offering strong Healing, Projectile Destruction and Condition Removal.

Your main goal is to manage Energy efficiently and shift between stances at the right moments, ensuring burst Healing while providing support through Resistance, Regeneration, Protection and Cleanses.

Boons and Supporting Allies

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.

Support Vindicator relies on the Saint Viktor Tactic of 同盟战术 图标同盟战术 and on 传奇半人马姿态 图标传奇半人马姿态 to support allies. Make sure you swap stances off Cooldown whilst below 10 Energy.

  • 风荷圣徒 图标风荷圣徒 will Heal and grant 20% Increase Outoging Healing.
