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.
• is a knock back that sacrifices the tablet, can be used to prevent stomps, among other things.

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
