Usage
- Before a fight, start in Mallyx in order to proc when switching to Ventari.
- Use as often as possible to apply boons, although it is an option to keep this up for the boon duration to the group.
- Move your tablet with as often as possible in order to keep up protection/regeneration, as well as the healing from moving the tablet.
- Enter Mallyx and use to apply resistance when it is needed before swapping back to Ventari.
- is good for single target focus, particularly the boon rip, but keep in mind energy cost.
- is your main healing skill. This should be used as often as possible in order to keep up Alacrity, although this skill heals for very large amounts.
- is a strong condition clear for yourself and your allies, use when it is needed.
- is a barrier that reflects projectiles, and is also a movable light field. Consider coordinating with your group to blast this for condition clear.

Gameplay Tips
- You can use skills such as while the tablet is moving to a new position in order to time the healing for when the tablet arrives.
- Try to use energy carefully and not waste it.
Weaknesses
- The majority of healing comes from the tablet, and it can be tricky to use properly.
- No access to stability
