Build around repeatable wins
Skill choices should support the moments that decide extraction runs: safe clear, fast disengage, burst during a punish window and survival after a bad trade.
- Do not spend every slot on damage if you cannot leave fights.
- Pair crowd control with a weapon that can capitalize quickly.
- Keep at least one button for repositioning or emergency spacing.
Weapon and skill planning
The official listing emphasizes class skills, talents and gear, while search results highlight launch-version weapon skill guides. Treat weapon choice as part of the skill build, not a separate cosmetic preference.
Patch-proof checklist
When a patch lands, recheck cooldowns, stamina cost, animation locks, scaling, PvP stagger and whether a skill still works against Mist Lords and player targets.
