Guide

Build Explaination

## GAMEPLAY ROTATION

### Opening Sequence
1. Pre-buff with **Shadow Image** (place strategically for escape)
2. Enter stealth and approach target
3. Activate **Shadowy Disguise** for guaranteed critical
4. Cast **Fatecarver** for stun and high damage
5. Toggle on **Simmering Frenzy** for increased damage
6. Follow with **Force Shock** for additional burst
7. Light attack weave between each ability

### Control Phase
1. If target survives burst, cast **Arctic Blast** to apply Major Defile
2. Use **Frozen Device** to immobilize target if they try to escape
3. Maintain pressure with **Force Shock** and light attacks
4. Reapply **Shadowy Disguise** for another guaranteed critical when it expires

### Defensive Rotation
1. When taking heavy damage, switch to back bar
2. Cast **Harness Magicka** for damage shield
3. Use **Refreshing Path** for healing and movement speed
4. If needed, teleport to **Shadow Image** for repositioning
5. Use **Race Against Time** to break free from snares and gain Major Expedition

### Execute Phase
1. When target drops below 25% health, focus on **Force Shock** spam
2. Maintain **Simmering Frenzy** for maximum damage (monitor health)
3. Use **Shadowy Disguise** for guaranteed critical hits
4. If low on resources, heavy attack with Restoration Staff

### Ultimate Usage
- Use **Veil of Blades** when fighting multiple opponents or for area control
- Use **Temporal Guard** when facing heavy incoming damage or need emergency escape
- With Balorgh monster set, ultimates provide significant Weapon and Spell Damage boost

## SITUATIONAL TACTICS

### Against Tanky Opponents
1. Apply **Arctic Blast** early to reduce their healing
2. Use **Frozen Device** to control positioning
3. Maintain **Simmering Frenzy** longer for increased damage
4. Focus on sustained damage rather than burst

### Against Stealth Players
1. Use **Refreshing Path** to reveal stealthed players
2. Be ready with **Shadow Image** for quick repositioning
3. Save **Race Against Time** for when they attack to quickly reposition

### Group Support
1. Use **Veil of Blades** for area control and damage reduction
2. Apply **Arctic Blast** to reduce enemy healing
3. Use **Frozen Device** to pull key targets for team focus
