Overview

This is a very defensive build that performs well due to Mortal Rope DartMortal Rope Dart having CC immunity while Thundercry BladeThundercry Blade offers a great shield with Predator's ShieldPredator's Shield, making the build very difficult to deal with and kill as the CC immunity on most skills coupled with Sunrush GaleSunrush Gale catching enemies and forcing them to take full damage while being difficult to counter.

Leaping ToadLeaping Toad and Talon StrikeTalon Strike are solid CC knock-down options since both can knock enemies down, though Talon StrikeTalon Strike is harder to land and doesn’t deal much damage. Meridian TouchMeridian Touch is useful for chip damage and can also be used to finish off enemies from range if you follow up right after casting it.
