How to Play
Close the gap with your target using , , , & . Get big damage using Spear, & skills. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use to keep applying pressure from range. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.
Try not to use the attack on and save it for when has been put on cooldown. Do this to instantly respawn your mech.
To simplify when using next to your mech with no other enemy/ally targets around, will bounce between you two then return to your target, doing double the damage total. Situational but very strong extra option in 1v1s.
Use the autoattack since it's much stronger than the Spear autoattack .
makes for a strong unblockable melee range option. While can occasionally make for a good unblockable ranged option. Only use if you're confident in the mech survival without the respawn on .

Extra Techniques
- - Hits through walls and projectile blocks while triggering
- has a few very fun quirks when using it to cast : It will interrupt any move you're casting. This includes stuns/CC making it an effective 3rd stunbreak. On top of that the will cast on any random target ~600 radius around you. If you manage to cast this in a 1v1 situation with no other NPCs around it will hit for PvE scaling, this hits for ~ damage. Very fun and strong way to start a burst if you use a CC to confirm the hit. Alot more fair for damage on a 90 second CD elite at least compared to Jade Buster Cannon damage.
- / - Can jump-cast this skill while kiting to make long jumps. Jumps that dodge jumping can't.
