Recommended Skill Sets

Energy Suppression Burst Build

Playstyle

Use multi-stage energy deprivation skills to quickly zero enemy energy, triggering Backstab's 20x damage effect for instant kill. Meanwhile rely on Retaliation and trait for survival.

Why this set works

Energy control as the core, through Soul Hook, Clamor, and Retribution continuously depriving and disrupting enemy energy, pushing enemy to 0 energy to trigger Backstab's 20x damage burst, while utilizing trait "Fright" to become immune to 0-energy enemy damage, forming an offensive-defensive suppression system.
