If you need some destruction and stagger in this kind of build, I'd like to recommend switch Blitz Rush to Turning Slash which has destrction and stagger tripod. Rotation time will be slightly increased and damage will be decreased slightly but this is much more comfortable. I'd use Dark Axel CD gem here, but I think Damage gem on Wind Cut is more worth. +Probably this is end of research, feel like every build has preference. For me, I find this best. 10 Spin Cutter: 3-3-1 / Lvl 7 CD - Purple Galewind 12 Earth Cleaver: 3-3-3 / lvl 7 CD+Damage - Legendary Overwhlem 10 Wind Cut: 3-3-2 / lvl 7 CD+Damage - Legendary Bleed 10 Surprise Attack: 1-1-1 / lvl 7 CD - Preference, Legendary Rage or Cleanse 10 Dark Axel: 1-1-2 - Purple Galewind 10 Maelstorm: 2-1-2 / lvl 7 CD - Legendary Focus or preference 12 Blitz Rush: 2-3-2 / lvl 9 Damage, lvl 7 CD - Legendary Galewind 12 Blade Dance: 1-2-2 / lvl 9 Damage, lvl 7 CD - Legendary Galewind Surge: lvl 10 Damage

[@Lorikhlb]

So soul absorber and void rush are out? Does anything change for the engravings ?

[@Crowoly]

@@Lorikhlb Both skills are now for RE. Engravings has no change

[@AQ-yn5ns]

Hi Crowoly thanks for the showcase. Are there any high lvl gems that are mandatory for smooth rotation/efficient aside from lv10 Surge DMG?

[@Crowoly]

I haven't tested with higher CD gems at all but in my opinion if you want to give better CD gems then Suprise Attack, Wind Cut and Spin Cutter are good choice.

[@emilginnnnnnn]

Would you say it's easier/smoother than the current Surge? Not having to time skills and just build stacks as fast as possible looks so much more fun. I tend to overlap a lot of skills and miss out on stacks so it ended up being a lopang.

[@Crowoly]

It became much easier now. I'd like to have more main dps skill in my rotation but it's still fun tho.

[@emilginnnnnnn]

Awesome, thanks man.

[@Odieodieodie07]

is Polestar viable here? in exchange for Earth Cleaver/Dark Axel for more stack..

[@Crowoly]

I feel like Earch Cleaver is very minimum requirement for mech. So I don't think pug people like that. Dark Axel is absolutely your preference.

[@karolsiech2103]

What do you think on dropping dark axel ? I'm playing now build without dark axel and played moonlight sonic instead, what would be the best option to replace dark axel for stacks ? And what's your opinion on dropping dark axel in new build >?

[@Crowoly]

I think removing dark axel and filling in whatever is fine. But I rate movement skill that can go through boss very highly. You actually encounter many situations where spin cutter just can't go over the boss and I don't wanna deal with those situations. And for replacer, many people choose turning slash for potential stagger and destruction and knock back immune plus it's very smoothly connected between skills. I also recommend this one. I am not sure about other skills since most of it make dps rotation significantly longer.

[@karolsiech2103]

@@Crowoly Yeah i know that, there are situations when you can't go on back without dark axel, but dark axel also makes that you do it in bad situations for example there will be counter and you use dark axel :D

[@Crowoly]

@@karolsiech2103 Well I don't think that's problem of dark axel. And anyway ordinary counter is not a job of back attack dps. it's ok to do just counter mech

[@Oboro911]

​@@karolsiech2103😂😂😂 you like dps loss?

[@cikuozzo]

Can you try this skill setup and let us know? Skills and Tripods: tripod / level Windcut: 332 / 551 Blue Galewind Spincut: 331 / 551 Purple Galewind Blade Dance: 122 / 555 Gold Galewind Polestar: 312 / 515 Gold Galewind Surprise Attack: 311 / 155 Gold Bleed Maelstrom: 212 / 551 Purple Galewind Turning Slash: 131 / 115 Blue Galewind Dark Axel: 112 / 511 (whatever you think would be better)

[@Crowoly]

I'm not interested in no counter build at all. Sure this one is also nice if your static or party members allow it.

[@cikuozzo]

@@Crowoly and dropping polestar for earth cleaver? Should be good? Right? Because your build seems amazing but i would like to drop blitz rush...

[@Crowoly]

@@cikuozzo I'd like to recommend using Maelstorm, Surpise Attack, Wind Cut, Blade Dance, Earth Cleaver mandatorily. Others slots are pretty much on preference level, some people remove Dark Axel, others remove Blitz Rush, etc.

[@cikuozzo]

@@Crowoly ok thank for clarification cause it's quite difficult to understand since i do not have access to PTR or know korean

[@PixelPerfectBlade]

do you think the new awakening is worth the switch ?

[@Crowoly]

Definitely. I messed up here but you can do much more clean 60-60 rotation in atrophine duration. At start, you either use awakening pot or make 1 bubble and proceed to make it be 40 stacks at least

[@airSo-fn7gl]

You're saying, this awakening makes 40x stacks by itself?@@Crowoly

[@Crowoly]

@@airSo-fn7gl No you can make 40 stacks at least with 1 bubble like this: kzbin.inforqaqYmGJYFg?si=nz8fMq2aBoPNkGJL

[@airSo-fn7gl]

I see thanks for clarification @@Crowoly can't wait for this patch to hit EU

[@belatort]

Is keen blunt now better than cursed doll?

[@Crowoly]

When you hav lvl 4 option(ap increase) on helm elixir

[@applepumpkin]

@@Crowolyhow much better in terms of %?

[@Crowoly]

@@applepumpkin it's minor, under 0.5%. when you have master elixir it's 1%. you change from CD because of atrophine efficieny

[@applepumpkin]

@@Crowolyalso, do your other skills now that you use also count as some form of damage? Like in terms of how your dps distributes like your surge could be 80% and the rest like 20%?

[@Crowoly]

@@applepumpkin Surge is like 60~65% of total damage
