Overview

Condi Herald shines as a boon dps, providing their allies and themselves with permanent boons, most notably permanent 25 Might and permanent Fury and Quickness. It deals decent damage and has some innate sustain, but requires the player to be constantly swapping legends to regenerate energy.

Legend Breakdown: Damage & General Use

Swap legends often, typically off cooldown.

Other than that, you can spam weapon skills and use your utilities appropriately as outlined below:

Glint

Legendary Dragon Stance

Glint provides a plethora of boons.

1. Maintain Facet of Elements, Facet of Strength, and Facet of Darkness.

Mallyx

Legendary Demon Stance Maintain Embrace the Darkness. You can use Pain Absorption to break stun or give yourself a break from conditions, and Call to Anguish is a short-range leap which can group enemies up for you to burst down.

Facet of Nature

Activate and consume while in Legendary Dragon Stance to extend the duration of your boons.

Defense

• Shield skills remove a condition on use.
• Infuse Light and Empowering Misery are your heal skills.
• Pain Absorption is great for anti-condition pressure.

Crowd Control

• Chaotic Release
• Surge of the Mists if running staff offhand.
