Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Mace/Axe, Shortbow and Spear are all very close to each other in terms of damage, and can be mixed and matched depending on your preferences:
- Spear somewhat mitigates the very slow ramp time of renegade, making it a strong option.
- Spear/Spear has the highest potential DPS and is perhaps the easiest weapon set to do well on, but unlocking the full potential requires much more precision than other options, as well as having the most forced movement. It also requires slightly different sigils.
- Spear & Mace/Axe can deal almost as much damage as Spear/Spear but has a faster ramp and more structure. The major downside is the difficulty in spending energy fast enough on Mace/Axe.
- Spear & Shortbow is the lowest damage of all the options, but comes with the advantage that both weapon sets are fully ranged.
- For players that don't own Janthir Wilds, the best weapons are Mace/Axe and Shortbow.

Spear Rotation
The concept of Spear is rather simple. All your Spear skills reduce the cooldown of
, which in turn is your most powerful ability.The gist of the rotation is then to spam
and , while fitting in other high-damage skills with your remaining energy and legend swapping when you get below 10 to trigger .While
is useful for energy use and the cooldown reduction, it is a DPS loss to cast and could be skipped on Kalla if you're close enough to phasing the boss.If using two spears, start on the set with

A single autoattack is added after key skills to ensure that no pulses are wasted. This requires precision to avoid either cancelling , so if it may work out better to just use abilities as fast as you can.
consumes ~65 of your total energy on the weapon. This leaves you with enough energy to use the following:
- twice
- once
- once
- four times
Once you get below 10 energy swap to

Kalla
Immediately after swapping, use followed by . You want to get a second use of in before swapping back to . As you want to be very aggressive with while in Mallyx, you use it less here, and should aim for the following:

Opening
Start in
and on Mace/Axe.
Shortbow
The stronger effect of
can only be activated once per pulse, so a single autoattack is added after key skills to ensure that no pulses are wasted. This requires precision to avoid either cancelling or delaying your legend swap, so it may be better in practise not to worry about it.- ,
- ,
- until is available
- - make sure to cast this first, so that it enhances Razorclaw's Rage
- Weapon swap

.
- On Mace/Axe replace the at step 4, as you don't blast it.
General Tips
- You will want to delay slightly if the group is not stacked together (for example, if it comes off cooldown near the end of the split phase at Vale Guardian, you should save it for when everyone is back together).
- is the reason we run Invocation, and it requires you to be under 10 energy when you switch legends. If you reach the point when you need to switch, and are above 10 energy for whatever reason, you can use to quickly expend some.
- While in Mace/Axe, always try to let your Auto Attack chain finish, as the last hits are very strong.
- On most fights, there are going to be moments when you can't hit the boss, but you'll still gain energy. During these phases, use and to help keep boons up.
