Serene BreezeSerene Breeze is one of the most important skills, as it breaks you out of CC chains. Cloud StepsCloud Steps is great for catching enemies off guard and closing the distance quickly. Dragon's BreathDragon's Breath is strong at the end of combos, adding a DoT that helps prevent enemies from making a comeback. Cloud StepsCloud Steps also gives good mobility for jumping between targets, while Yaksha RushYaksha Rush can go through Blocks and punish players who rely on it (lots of this happening in PVP 1VS1 arena).

Leaping ToadLeaping Toad and Talon StrikeTalon Strike both work as knock-down CC options, though Talon StrikeTalon Strike is harder to land and does less damage, it can also go through block and can knock enemies down for you to exploit. Meridian TouchMeridian Touch is useful for chip damage and can also finish enemies from range if you follow up immediately after using it.
