    Path of PetalsGood long distance movement, can go down ledges without a fall animation
  4. S + F
    Prime: Lurking ClawsTargeted teleport that places you behind the target. Very fast when you can use it effectively
  5. A / D + RMB
    Prime: Ghost BombShort dash to the side with iframe
  6. E / F Flow
    Flow: HanpuriTargeted teleport towards the target

Examples of Repositioning

  2. S + F
    Prime: Lurking ClawsTargeted teleport behind, good DPS, very fast
  3. W / S + E
    Prime: Flower ShroudShort dash forward or backward, decent DPS

Build Notes

Class Specifics

Skills to Lock

  1. Evasion
  2. PetalblastPreference

Quickslot

  1. Foxspirit Form
  2. Soul CharmIf taken

Buffs & Debuffs

  1. Charmed/Prime: Nukduri Dance/Flow: Nether RiverCharmed (Space), Prime: Nukduri Dance (Shift + C), Flow: Nether River (LMB flow). These don't stack with each other
    +20 AP
  2. Foxspirit Form3 minute cooldown. Overwrites the +20 AP buffs, so effectively +5 AP
    +25 AP
  3. Prime: Foxspirit: TagRMB. Applies All Damage Reduction -20 (-20 DR) to targets
    -20 DR

Skill Enhancements

  1. Heavenly ReturnBest choice for PvE: fast with decent damage, used in Flow: Hanpuri (E) combos or on its own as a quick backstep. Spirit Parade does less damage for a longer animation but is the option if you want protection
    Lv. 56
  2. Constricting CharmDecent filler with very high attack speed when nothing else is available, and it flows into Spirit Sparks. Petal Snare is long and low DPS
    Lv. 57
  3. Spirit SparksWeak on its own but a decent follow-up to Constricting Charm. Soul Charm is not useful in PvE
    Lv. 58

Magnus Skill

  1. Foxflare FlingVery bad in PvE: the frontal guard windup is useless and the line attack rarely lands all 3 hits. Leave Magnus Foxflare Fling unlearned so you can still use Soulflame
