Usage

Blade Generation

  • Blocks and dodges are important source of Blades due to Psychic Riposte.
  • Make sure to utilize Aegis Aegis from Bladeturn Refrain.
  • Specter/Pistol set has best blade generation due to Illusionary Counter, Ether Clone and Phantasmal Duelist.


Burst Combo

  • Have up to 4-5 Blades stocked and make sure to have Psychic Riposte unblockable proc:
    • Phantasmal Duelist
    • Magic Bullet
    • Bladesong Sorrow
    • Confusing Images
  • Signet of Humility can help set up a burst, but make sure to CC the target as they can evade the burst with Moa skill 5 (Flee).


Surviving

  • Main defensive cooldowns are:
    • Blade Renewal
    • Bladeturn Requiem - 2 second block, doesn't scale with number of Blades.
    • Signet of Midnight - stunbreak, Stealth Stealth, AoE Blind Blind.
    • Blink - stunbreak and 1200 range shadowstep.
  • Sword/Torch is the defensive/mobility set
    • The Prestige - Stealth Stealth, AoE Blind Blind and removes 1 condition.
    • Blurred Frenzy - 1 sec Evade.
    • Blade Leap - 600 range leap, use to escape or kite. Can juke with Returning Edge.

MadTavish gave this build 3 stars • July 2022
Arguably one of the more competitive Virtuoso damage builds in PvP due to power weapons (namely Greatsword) having anti-synergy with Virtuoso (no clones for GS2 bounces). This build is built on utilizing Virtuoso traits for defense to fuel its offense via condition burst, however, if you are not getting hit you do not generate nearly enough blades to shatter often. Likewise, most of the condition burst relies on confusion, which skilled players can play around. Overall, it is less tricky, less stealthy, more straightforward version of the Condition roamer Mirage without any of the Mirage mechanics to give it an edge.
