使用说明 Usage

Elite specialization basics

• Dodge rolling is replaced by Mirage Cloak, which is more or less the same thing but allows you to cast skills and grants access to ambush attacks over its duration: ：Staff and ：Axe. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.

• You can dodge while casting skills or stomping/rezing, but you can't dodge while CC'd.

General

• Always do your boon stacking rotation on CD!
  • Rotation: ⇒ Shatter ⇒ ⇒ 。 Consider using your shatter in the middle of channeling the signet, as shatters are instant but the signet has a cast time. Just make sure to shatter before the signet goes off.
  • This combo is important for both damage and sustain, playing a key role in achieving a high uptime of Vigor， Regeneration 和 Might。 All of these are very important for the build.
  • Any shatter will do, as the main goal is to prolong the Vigor granted by 。 Each shatter however also grants a unique boon from which you could capitalize on with the signet.

• Try to send your Phantasms on CD before using as your healing skill partially recharges them.

• is an excellent panic button and mobility tool that instantly yeets you across the battlefield whilst breaking stuns.

• Your strongest option against damage in general is ，granting you immunity to any form of pressure including CC and conditions that are already on you.

机动性

• Use ：mobility while roaming or chasing after targets. PR teleports you in the opposite direction of where you're facing, so in order to teleport "forward" simply turn around 和 use it then turn back。 We recommend that you set up a bind for about face to do this in a fluid manner (Options ⇒ Control Options ⇒ Movement)。
  • About face ⇒ ⇒ about face is the rotation.
  • Make sure that you don't have an enemy targeted when doing this!

Damage

• is the strongest shatter skill here when it comes to damage, followed by 。 These 2 will help you burst.

• Staff is for sustained damage and survival while Axe is where your burst damage comes from.

• spam puts out decent pressure from a safe distance whilst stacking important boons.

• There are 3 ways to gain access to Ambush attacks:
  • Dodging.
  • Picking up a Mirage Mirror created by the empowered 。 Each shattered clone will place one on the ground.
  • Gaining Distortion, which you can do by using your F4 ability or activating any of your signets。

• Don't be afraid to use if you need to keep the pressure up but you're all out of shatters. This signet also lets you be a bit more wasteful of your shatters, knowing that you can recharge them anytime.
