Usage

Energy Management

It is important to swap legends as often as possible since each legend swap gives you up to 75 energy (Going from 0 -> 50 + Charged Mists). During the 10s between legend swap CDs, you have 125 energy assuming Charged Mists was procced. Because Orders from Above needs to be cast in both Mallyx and Jalis, you need two plans for each legend on how to spend energy.

Otherworldly Bond and Mender's Rebuke - cost only 5 energy and can be slotted in to use up the 5 energy often left over when rotating through other skills. Shackling Wave, Warding Rift, Blossoming Aura and Heroic Command are interchangeable in terms of energy cost, so use whichever is best in the situation.

In the following recommended energy uses, any skill that is used multiple times in a single legend (Purifying Essence/Inspiring Reinforcement) must be cast as soon as possible. Use these basic rotations as a framework to balance your energy usage, they can be adapted to your needs. For example if you need to cast Warding Rift (10 energy) to avoid damage you could remove a cast of Natural Harmony (20 energy) and add a cast of Blossoming Aura (10 energy) to still spend the same amount of energy.

  • Inspiring Reinforcementx2 - 60 energy
  • Rite of the Great Dwarf - 40 energy

  • Make sure to be under 10 energy when swapping legends to activate Charged Mists

Detailed Explanations

Alacrity

  • Press Orders from Above as soon as it comes off cooldown


Support

  • Prioritize aiming Inspiring Reinforcement in the direction your group is moving to, not at the enemy
    • Do hit the enemy when possible though
    • You can move slightly behind your group before casting to make it easier to land
  • Spam Project Tranquility on your group as often as possible
  • Always use Energy Expulsion before any utility skills in Ventari to benefit from the Empowered Bonus
    • Purifying Essence is usually the best skill to use the second Empower on
