The aim is to prioritize speed and survivability while steering clear of increasing power and direct damage. Focus on tagging mobs rather than eliminating them instantly.

While in Legendary Dragon Stance, activate Facet of Light, Facet of Elements, and Facet of Chaos at the same time to achieve a -1 Energy Upkeep cost, enabling the presence of Quickness Quickness. When your energy dips below 10%, switch to Assassin stance, which will start you off with 70% Energy.

When in Legendary Assassin Stance, use Impossible Odds to gain a 50% increase in movement speed and maintain the -1 Energy Upkeep cost. When your energy drops below 10%, transition back to Dragon Stance, where you'll again begin with 70% Energy.

This strategy ensures you consistently maintain 6 stacks of Rising Momentum, further supporting high movement speed.
