Key Concepts

Support Spellbreaker is a strong support build, focused on providing offensive boons such as Might and defensive boons such as Protection, Stability and Resistance. This build also provides Boon Removal, Healing, and Crowd Control.

全力反击 图标全力反击 is our second Burst skill and common to every weapon set. It will Block and counter-attack on the next hit, inflicting Daze, granting us an Evade and resetting our current weapon Burst skill if it hits.

Your main goal is to Boon Strip enemies, Weapon Swap frequently to get the most out of your Staff and Warhorn skills and generate Adrenaline. This will let you use 全力反击 图标全力反击 as often as possible to spam Burst skills. The more Bursts you can use, the easier it is to maintain boon uptime, provide sustained Healing and pressure support to your team.

Boons and Supporting Allies

Boon Generation and Healing

This build aims to provide high Might uptime and decent Protection and Resistance output.

  • Might: Your main source will come from 方阵力量 图标方阵力量 where granting yourself might will also grant it to nearby allies. This works well in combination with 雾灼古物 图标雾灼古物. You should aim to use your Burst skills as much as possible to expend Soldier's Focus and proc 行军号令 图标行军号令. You should use 全力反击 图标全力反击 to reset your Burst skills as much as possible.
  • Protection: Your main source will come from 士兵安慰 图标士兵安慰 which triggers when you hit a Burst skill. Line breaker is also a good source of Protection.
  • Resistance: Your main source will come from 战术旗帜 图标战术旗帜, this will also apply Stability.

Your Healing will mostly come from Staff skills and 胜利之路 图标胜利之路 alongside 士兵安慰 图标士兵安慰.

Your Cleanses will primarily come from:

  • 冲锋陷阵 图标冲锋陷阵 removes Crippled, Chilled, and Immobilized, and grants Swiftness.
  • 勇气召唤 图标勇气召唤 removes three conditions, provides Barrier, and grants Vigor.

弱化之风 图标弱化之风 will widely remove boons and weaken their reapplication. Paired with 附魔崩塌 图标附魔崩塌, this skill can change the flow of a fight. Try to time your bubble in a way where your group gets maximum value from it's duration during a clash or to stop the enemy's push.
