Identity & Gameplay
Wind Fury Aeromancer constantly generates Raindrop Meter by using her skills in quick succession. This allows you to enter Sun Shower state frequently.
Each Umbrella Skill used after another Umbrella Skill recovers 12% of your Raindrop Meter, on top of the skills' natural meter generation. Entering Sun Shower state grants you the following effects for the entire duration:
- +12% Attack Speed to party members inside the aura
- +12% Movement Speed to party members inside the aura
- Deals damage to enemies inside the aura
- -20% Movement Speed to enemies inside the aura
- Changes your Spacebar to Float, allowing you to cancel it early
Aeromancer Identity
This build focuses on strategically pairing Umbrella Skills with the Current Occurrence tripod together with those that have the Reversal tripod, enhancing your strongest attacks. Your secondary focus is entering Sun Shower (Z) state as often as possible.
Rotation
Standard Damage Rotation
+
- While this build does not have a strict rotation, it's recommended to always pair one of the skills on the left with one of the skills on the right, in order to maximize damage output.
- Space Cleave and Fulmination should be used whenever available.
- Try your best to maintain your Synergy using Tornado, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after.
- Remember to use Sun Shower (Z) whenever your Raindrop Meter is full!
- Whirlpool should be used to activate the Judgment rune, whenever Conviction triggers. It should also be used during Sun Shower (Z), regardless of whether Conviction is available, as it gains increased damage in that state.
Stagger Check Rotation
- Using skills in this specific order is recommended for most stagger checks. However, each check can vary in duration, so you may need to readjust depending on the situation and your party's composition. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!
Gems
Gems are another significant aspect of your build, as they directly impact the damage and cooldowns of your skills. You can equip up to 11 gems at a time. Here are the ones you should focus on in order to maximize this build's potential, listed according to their priority.
