Overflow's Playstyle
Summoner could be broken down into optimizing within your self buffs from Sticky Moss Swamp, Shurdi and Elcid while managing your Ancient and Pet summons. It's easier said that done as your rotationcan also change depending on what skills you end up taking. There's also animation cancels on Ancient Spear thatare crucial to learn if you want to maximize your DPS. With a duration of 5.0 seconds, you can fittwo non-Pet skills within Sticky Moss Swamp and/or Elcid's buff window. Shurdigrants additional Critical Rate while active and is used off cooldown for full uptime.Regardless of your build, you can follow a set opener using Kelsion serving as a cancel for Ancient Spear:
Communication Overflow Opener
- Use Shurdi, Maririn & Pauru first. Getting theserolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with Sticky Moss Swamp.If you have Steed Charge, you'll use it after this skill.
- Cast Water Elemental and rebuff with Elcid followed by Ancient Spear.
- While casting Ancient Spear, use your pet's active skills and cancel the animation with Kelsion.
Afterwards, you'll have to adjust your rotation depending on what skill selection you chose.Though keep in mind that while there are "rotations", it's heavily dependent on whatgems and level tripods you have available. The following below assume you have sufficient level tripods andgems to perform this. Always test in Trixion yourself and see what you can do to adjustif necessary!
5.1.
Earth Collapse
Earth Collapse Example
- Use Shurdi, Maririn & Pauru first. Getting these rollingon cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Use the Ancient Akir before Sticky Moss Swamp, the damage will be snapshot under the buff.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with Sticky Moss Swamp.
- Cast Water Elemental and rebuff with Elcid followed by Ancient Spear.
- While casting Ancient Spear cancel the animation with Earth Collapse.
- Always use your pet's active skills as they come up off cooldown.
Your Ancients, like Alimaji, can also cancel Ancient Spear and has a low orb cost.You want to prioritize Akir inside your buff windows.
5.2.
Steed Charge
Steed Charge Example
- Use Shurdi, Maririn & Pauru first. Getting these rolling oncooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with Sticky Moss Swamp followed by Steed Charge.
- Cast Water Elemental and rebuff with Elcid followed by Ancient Spear.
- Cancel Ancient Spear with Alimaji.
- Loop the skills again starting from Sticky Moss Swamp. Be sure to use pet actives as they come up.
Out of the three, this one is very easy to perform and doesn't require max level tripods.At least level 3 or 4 is recommended to ensure that nothing hard clips and you're stuck for a second or two doing nothing.With higher level tripods and gems you could reverse Steed Charge and Ancient Spear's position, coupling thelatter with Sticky Moss Swamp. In theory this does allow you to use Ancient Spear on cooldown.It's far tighter and drifting Ancient Spear causing a desync in your rotation, negating any increase in damage this would have offered.
5.3.
Winged Spirit
Winged Spirit Example
- Use Shurdi, Maririn & Pauru first. Getting theserolling on cooldown is a priority given their long cooldown times.
- Apply your self buff and Synergy with Sticky Moss Swamp followed by Water Elemental.
- Start casting Ancient Spear and cancel it by tapping Winged Spirit.
- Use Phoenix and Elcid. While under the buff, fully hold Winged Spirit
- Be sure to use pet actives as they come off cooldown, fitting them inside buff windows.
The above does assume you're building with the Charming relic set and are not taking Master Summoner, as it'll change Phoenix to just be a singular hit.
