    Power Vindicator is a bursty power build that excels at encounters with large hitboxes, as scales with hitbox size. The rotation is forgiving and easy to pick up. This build only uses Greatsword, which allows for a Staff Weapon Swap in encounters that require a lot of CC.

    Activate as soon you swap to Shiro (). This will maximize the number of follow-up strikes gained.

    Rotation Tips

    • 1 Auto-attack chain + Dodge. Keep in mind that dodging will reset your Auto-attack chain.
    • 1 Auto-attack chain + 1 +
