___

Use victory wine to fill affixes to 5. they are listed in priority left to right. fervor is a flex affix you can change this to your preferred one

Maintain Indom will stacks through a mixture of charging earthshaker [hammer skil] spending sword tip stacks on LMB+RMB attacks or holding block for 1s or longer. maintain this in any fight to increase your pdr by 20% [2% per stack]

our talents turn whirling cut into a long range very fast dash use this to surprise enemies in the middle of fights when they make distance.

our LMB[HOLD] has enhanced dmg and distance when we have charged of LMB+RMB active use this to your advantage to catch enemies mid breakaway to keep them in an endless vortex of attacks.

Our LMB+RMB stace twice [4+4] giving us 2 potential uses. when you have it stacked twice [8 sword hits] it has enhanced dmg distance and super armor.

Use shield dash as another ability to keep the vortex going or when you predict the enemy is going to attack back at you. it blocks if you block and hit with this ability you will stun them gaining an extra hit.

and remember EVERY sword attack gives you sword tip stacks.

-1 for LMBs

-2 for thrusts

-2 for whirling cut -dash

-2 for each hit of whirling cut

keep track of this its a massive source of our dmg and mobility.

if you opt for a more defensive version drop the talents in whirling cut and pick up stonebreaker slash[ability] so punish melee enemies more.
