General Usage

• Generally you should swap legends as soon as your swap is available.
• Your main DPS skills are Citadel Bombardment along with Chilling Isolation, Shackling Wave and Deathstrike (on sword), and Mist Unleashed, Phantom's Onslaught and Eternity's Requiem (on greatsword).
• When you're not casting skills make sure you're consistently auto-attacking the boss, being careful not to interrupt the chain as the damage is heavily back-loaded.

Renegade Stance

• When you swap to Legendary Renegade Stance you should immediately cast Icerazor's Ire.
• You will likely have large amounts of energy available to cast your DPS skills while on renegade stance.
  • Make sure to get a second cast of Icerazor's Ire in before swapping legends.
  • You don't need to use any other renegade skills, so the enhanced effect from Icerazor's Ire can be used on Breakrazor's Bastion for extra boons and to slightly increase the uptime of All for One.

Assassin Stance

• When you swap to Legendary Assassin Stance you should immediately begin channeling Impossible Odds, only ending the upkeep when you swap legends.
• While in Assassin Stance you will have more energy to work with and so can cast DPS skills more freely, however be careful not to spend too much energy and be forced to delay a Orders from Above or lose Impossible Odds

Break bars

Due to their large energy costs (or requirement to swap to staff) all of this build's CC options will result in a large drop-off in your DPS. However, they are all powerful AoE control effects so they can be used to rescue your group from dangerous situations.

• Surge of the Mists should be your primary CC skill and against large hitbox targets or enemies against a wall it is one of the strongest CC skills in the game. If possible, step back from the target slightly before casting this to maximize the impacts that land on the boss. Be careful using this skill near the edges of platforms, such as on Xera or the final boss of the Chaos fractal as the forced movement can send you over the edge.
• Darkrazor's Daring outputs a large amount of total breakbar damage but over a long duration (6 seconds). This is best used as a tool to minimize damage from groups of trash mobs, or if you don't need instantaneous breakbar contribution.
• Jade Winds should be used only as a last resort due to the large energy cost for relatively low CC output compared to your other options.
