6-Step Build Architecture

Complete tactical progression from starting archetype to constellation allocation.

1

Traveler & Core Identity

Mist turns parries and dodges into rapid critical momentum. High tempo and tight footwork are mandatory.

2

Memory 1 (Repeatable Opener)

Equip Astrid's Masterpiece - Priorité. In v1.4 its cooldown was completely removed, allowing continuous critical mark applications with 45% AD scaling.

3

Memory 2 (Rapid Repositioning)

Slot Lunge. Its cooldown was trimmed to 6s in v1.4, providing snappy dodges through enemy attack telegraphs.

4

Memory 3 (Burn & Area Pacing)

Equip a Fire or Burn Memory paired with Essence of the Crucible to keep damage ticking while executing fencing steps.

5

Memory 4 (Beam of Balance Finisher)

Slot Beam of Balance, buffed in v1.4 to 460% attack power damage per second and 200% healing per second over a compact 6s duration.

6

Way of Stars Allocation

Invest the 2 new Flexible Stars into critical hit amplification and attack speed nodes.

Tactical Combat Rotation & Pacing

Execution sequence for boss encounters and high-density mob waves.

  1. 1 Open duels with Astrid's Masterpiece - Priorité to apply priority marks without triggering a cooldown.
  2. 2 Use Lunge on its tight 6s timer to slip behind elite telegraphs.
  3. 3 Parry incoming heavy strikes to immediately trigger counter-attack critical cascades.
  4. 4 Channel Beam of Balance during boss staggers for 460% attack power burst and self-healing.
