This build is evasive and slippery, so all spells work to muddle our enemy or avoid taking damage altogether. Cloud Stance will be your bread and butter in the early game. Alacrity Haste and Aqua Blink will increase your mobility by a huge amount. While Phantom Icicle will make it easier to take on multiple foes simultaneously in the mid-to-endgame.

How to Play

Start Off with Backstabs

Always attempt to kill enemies with backstabs whenever you can. When that's too difficult, rain hell on them with arrows from afar to get their health down.

Deflect, Counter, Repeat

Deflecting attacks is essential for this build. Always learn the enemy's moves and deflect in order to gain more Spirit which you can use for Martial Arts.

Back Off When Enemies are After You

When enemies' aggro are turned to you, back off, and move backwards in a circle around the battlefield, while evading their attacks and waiting for party members to deal damage and regain aggro.

Unleash Damage When Backs are Turned

When enemies stop chasing you, unleash your spells and Martial Arts to deal a good amount of damage.
