How to Play

Hit your enemies with Aegis of Menhir as long as it's available.

When Aegis of Menhir is not available due to cooldown, you can quickly go melee with Shadow Strike.

When you're in a dangerous situation, use Blade Barrier as your panic button.

Pneumatic Burst plays multiple purposes here, this skill is used for health recovery and a movement speed buff.
