Rotation/Skill Usage

Rotation Explanation

The rotation is like a priority list, with your most important skills being:

Abilities listed above are all very high-damage skills. Taking cast times and cooldowns in consideration, the priority list is thus: Poison Dart Volley , Blowtorch , Shrapnel Grenade , Poison Grenade , Fire Bomb , Napalm and Flame Blast . Those skills are all very important when in a state of Deactivate Photon Forge , while Corona Burst and Photon Blitz are the major abilities to be used in Engage Photon Forge .

Always preheat to 80 Heat before engaging combat.

Extra Notes

  • Use Incendiary Ammo off cooldown.
  • Flash Grenade , Static Shot and Smoke Bomb can be used to mitigate damage in add-heavy fights.
  • Try to manage your Heat in split phases. Ideally, you always want to be back at 80 Heat when starting to burst into a new phase.

On bosses with one continuous phase, you’ll most likely have improvised by that point, and the use of CC abilities will have made you do a different rotation anyway; this is just an example rotation. Follow the priority list on the side.
