• Optimal: 或 ，whichever is cheaper (the difference beween them is negligible, a grand total of 2 condition damage stat in favor of Tuning Icicle)。

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 for the duration: ：sword 和 ：dagger。 Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.

• Pressing dodge grants Superspeed 和 Regeneration (which reduces incoming condition duration while it lasts thanks to )。 makes it so that whenever you gain Mirage Cloak, your clones are also going to receive it with all benefits including access to ambush attacks - it can even make your clones evade skills such as ，denying your opponent various bonuses.

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

General

• Besides cleansing conditions while at the same time pressuring your opponent with them, is also useful for boon removal/stacking in general, for example getting rid of their Stability or stealing Vigor： synergy.

• The basic game plan is simple: dodge rolling summons a clone and makes all of your clones unload ambush attacks. Your goal is to build up your clone count and spam ambushes on enemies.

• The entire build was built around Dagger's - it stacks conditions while making it hard for opponents to get any skill casts off with the Daze spam. While the daze has an extremely short duration all we really care about here are interrupts to proc 和 。 Eventually you'll lock enemies out of most of their important skills with Power Block while spamming them with conditions.

• On Dagger/Pistol open with 和 ，interrupts reduce the CD of pistol skills so spamming dagger ambush attacks is going to recharge them in no time.

• Shatter skills remove boons, which is a great way of getting rid of Stability and opening up targets for more Daze spam.

• Sword's ambush skill also dazes targets but in terms of damage it lags behind Dagger. It's quite good at softening up targets however as it removes boons.

• You could play this build either with Staff or Sword/Torch, either way that's going to be your defensive set. While their ambush attacks can still pressure enemies quite well their other slot skills can save your from pressure.

• On Sword Torch the 2 best defensive skills are ：avoiding attacks and ：condition removal/blind/stealth.

Staff version

• may not look that amazing at first glance, but it's an instant cast skill which applies Protection to the caster and AoE Weakness to nearby foes, effectively filtering their damage through two layers of mitigation. It's an excellent skill for surviving direct damage burst and it's usable even while CC'd.

• is the strongest skill on this weapon. Standing in it supplies allies with defensive boons including Aegis while inflicting several conditions that can mitigate damage like Weakness 或 Chill (Chill makes it harder to reach you while slowing down their skill recharge rate)。 The first hit of Chaos Storm always Dazes enemies, making it a reliable AoE interrupt.

• is good for building some distance between you and your target, and can even be used while stunned, potentially allowing you to save dodges for later.
  • If used in PR grants 。 Keep in mind that this doesn't stack in duration, so try not to overlap Chaos Armors.

• The build has rather poor access to condition cleansing by default, limited only to ， and possibly 。 Try to play it safe against condition specs: outrange them with staff, chain block / evade frames in melee, etc. 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.

• Use ：mobility while roaming or chasing after targets. Phase Retreat teleports you in the opposite direction of where you're facing, so to teleport "forward" turn around to use it and 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)。
  • Make sure that you don't have an enemy targeted when doing this!
