    Introduction

    Very strong Warrior build, involving high bursts of damage and overall consistent damage output.

    Build Foundamentals

    Your main source of damage comes from your Burst skills.

    Make sure to use Harrier's Toss with max Adrenaline to use its full damage potential, unlike Arcing Slice which does not scale with your Adrenaline level.

    Build Specifics

    Spear Usage

    Use Spearmarshal's Support before using either of your Burst skills.

    Combine Maiming Spear with Harrier's Toss so both land at the same time.

    Use Signet of Fury to gain max Adrenaline for Harrier's Toss. Avoid using it for Arcing Slice due to the skill not scaling damage with your Adrenaline level.

    Use Signet of Might before Disrupting Throw to make use of your Unblockable hits. Avoid using it in combination with Spearmarshal's Support due to it consuming all the charges.

    Greatsword Variant

    Greatsword is your sustainable damage option to be used when the majority of your skills on Spear are on cooldown.

    Hundred Blades is your main damage source on your weapon skills. Watch out for the movement locking this skill does to your character. It’s great to use it on downstates since they usually aren’t moving around.

    You can delay Arcing Slice to fully cast Hundred Blades if the situation allows for it.

    Whirlwind Attack and Rush are great mobility skills. Use Whirlwind Attack to briefly evade attacks while hitting enemies and Rush to charge at a target and strike it.

    TIP: Having “Weapon Stow” setting bound to a key is great to cancel an attack that might backfire and get you killed, such as cancelling Hundred Blades during its cast to avoid damage.

    Staff Variant

    Staff has good utility options while also maintaining good damage output.

    Make use of Snap Pull to pull enemies into your group.

    Use Line Breaker to gain Unblockable, preventing the enemy from blocking your next 3 hits with or other means.

    Your Burst skill Path to Victory is great for both cleaving and additional healing sustain for your allies.

    Remember to use Line Breaker or Valiant Leap if you are   as both skills will cleanse it.

    Your autoattacks on Staff deal a lot of damage, but they are melee – be aware of your positioning.
