- More than ~87% Total Crit Rate if running KS1
- If you have a Crit Syn(s), adjust your crit rate to avoid excessive overcap
- Drop Keen Sense for Limit Break
- Drop Master for Pulverize (Master is still stronger than Pulv if you only overcap by ~2%)
- adjust Crit/Swift ratio

Skills
Energy Discharge
Level 14
Main Damage Skill, Synergy Skill
- Damage Amplification applies +6% damage to foes for the party for 8 seconds.
Rime Arrow
Level 14
Main Damage Skill
- Can and should be animation canceled with Blink or Spacebar.
- Flexible rune slot.
Esoteric Reaction
Level 14
Main Damage Skill
- It can fall off in damage distribution due to how easy it is for the target to walk out of its range by the time it fully explodes.
- Can be animation canceled with Blink or Spacebar but it's not recommended to do so.
Reverse Gravity
Level 14
Main Damage Skill
- Highest potential DPS in the entire kit, but can fall off due to requiring melee range & how easy it is for the target to walk out of its range.
- Animation-locked skill, put your highest rarity Galewind on this skill.
- Can be animation canceled with Blink or Spacebar but it's not recommended to do so.
Seraphic Hail
Level 14
Damage Filler
- Provides relatively good damage with low cooldown.
- Skill has traveling time, easier to hit if in melee range.
- Easier to proc C/J.
- Flexible rune slot.
Punishing Strike
Level 12
Damage Filler
- Provides decent stagger on-demand
- Can be animation canceled with Blink or Spacebar
Explosion
Level 12
Damage Filler
- Provides weak point on-demand
Squall
Level 1
Counter
- Flexible rune skill. Can slot an extra Quick Recharge, Rage or Purify as needed (i.e: Denouement: Final Day - Kazeros).
T Skill and Awakening
Rusing Glacier
Hyper Awakening Skill (T Skill)
Reflux’s main T Skill, deals 50% more damage outside of “Arcane Rupture” (which is locked on Reflux).
Apocalypse Call
Awakening Skill
Offers much greater damage potential than Enviska’s Might & lesser animation lock, typically used when skills are on cooldown or during a large DPS opening.
Apocalypse
Hyper Awakening
Hyper Awakening is a powerful nuke skill used once per gate, and provides invincibility during cast (not immune to true raid wipe mechanics). Typically used during a large DPS opening.
Gem Priority
Gems are listed in order of most to least important from left to right. Grayed out icons are optional.
DMG
CDR
Rotation
Notes
- Constantly use Blink to amplify your damage while simultaneously making use of animation canceling.
- After putting your skills on cooldown from your opener, Reflux becomes a true rotation-less class. Rather than following a fluid rotation, it’s up to the player to prioritize skills that fit the circumstance of the fight.
- Weave ED whenever it´s off cooldown to upkeep your synergy (also you can fish for Quick Recharge procs with counter if EVERYTHING is off cooldown and boss will not require a counter in the next 8 seconds or so).
