3. Toss Razor Caltrops into the center of the room to strip 5,948 points of physical armor from the enemies.
4. Cast your Scribed Soul Burst skill right in the middle of the group. (After 2 seconds, it will yank all ranged and melee enemies into a tight, 1-pixel stack).

6. Swap to your Front Bar (Dual Wield Daggers) while safely protected behind your heavy Brawler shield.

8. Spam Killer's Blade on that weak target until they die, detonating the Macabre Vintage blood bomb to vaporize the entire room.

10. Swap back to Step 3 if your defensive shields or armor debuffs run out during a long boss fight.

 Boss-Only Adjustments

When fighting a single boss with no small minions around, skip the pull skill. Instead, just keep Razor Caltrops on the ground, hit the boss with Brawler once every 5 seconds to keep your shield up, and swap to your front bar to cycle between Bloodcraze, Bloodthirst, and Killer's Blade once the boss drops below 25% health.

1. Toggle Leeching Strikes before the fight begins to guarantee infinite stamina recovery and passive background healing.

4. Swing Brawler directly into the pile to establish a massive defensive damage shield and automatically trigger your Pillar of Nirn bleed fissure.
5. Swap to your Front Bar (Dual Wield Daggers) while safely standing behind your Brawler shield.
6. Apply Blood Craze to the primary target or boss to layer on your main single-target weapon bleed.
