Guide

Build Explaination

The moment of battle has arrived. There’s no turning back—only forward! As the saying goes: “If not us, then who?” Or, put another way: “If not us, then we’re done for.”

1. Cast Flames of Oblivion on yourself.

2. Apply debuffs to your enemy and deliver a devastating opening blow using your Ultimate:
  2.1 Noxious Breath 
  2.2 Burning Embers  
  2.3 Incapacitating Strike

3. Spam Biting Jabs until Relentless Focus activates, your Ultimate is ready again, or you need to refresh one of your buffs/debuffs (don’t forget weaving, of course!).

4. As soon as Relentless Focus is ready, unleash its full power straight into your enemy’s skull.

In short: keep your buff up, maintain debuffs on your target, use your Ultimate and Relentless Focus when will they be ready, and spend the rest of your time gleefully jabbing your foe with Biting Jabs.

When I need more mobility, I swap Burning Embers for Ambush, sacrificing a bit of survivability and damage output. However, in certain situations—such as open-world exploration—it's more important to be able to quickly close the distance to my target.

P.S. I’m still learning English, and while I know the basics, it’s not quite enough yet to write something like this on my own—so I used a translator for help. Sorry if anything sounds a bit off, and thank you for your attention!
