Opting for four Shadow skills, replacing Nightmare for Call of the Knife for better AOE. For Dance of Fury and Glowing Brand, their third tripod option changes for better crowd control and damage.

Prioritize leveling all Swoop skills to maximize damage potential and Dagger skills for your counter and the Swoop Activation tripod on Shadow Vortex. Distortion can be leveled to use the second tripod Tailwind if you want the extra movement speed. For your eigth skill, you have options between Shadow Trap, Black Mist, Spirit Catch and Spinning Dagger. Shadow Trap is taken as a second counter and also reduces your cooldown of all Shadow skills through the tripod Activate Shadow

Lunar Voice revolves around a build-spend damage loop, entering Persona Mode and cashing in on the enhanced Swoop skill damage. With a high Specialization requirement, you'll be in need of Wealth runes to minimize the amount of filler skills before another Swoop finisher. Having some leeway as to what eigth skill to bring, your choice depends on how much Specialization you have and this also affects what rarity skill Wealth rune you want to put on each skill. Using your awakening skill Lunar Eclipse: Cadenza increases your gauge by one full bar. This is very useful when starting an encounter to immediately transition into Persona Mode./p>

There's several loose rotations that vary upon your skill selection and amount of Specialization. In general the most popular options are taking Shadow Trap or Black Mist. Taking Shadow Trap does mean you have to deal with another backstep skill which you have to be conscious of just like when entering Persona Mode. This can be a nuisance for inexperienced or inattentive players, however, it can be taken advantage of as a movement tool. The punishment with this build comes with missing skills that are crucial to building meter. Assuming you have at least 1600 Specialization, your damage cycle can look like this:

• Build Persona Meter with Shadow Storm & Shadow Vortex. Enter Persona Mode and cash in with Rage Spear.
• Start your second cycle with Shadow Trap, then do a mini warp combo with Nightmare & Distortion to reposition for Back Attacks.
• Cap your gauge with Shadow Vortex then use Glowing Brand.
• For your third cycle, you'll do two Shadow Vortex & a warp combo before finishing with Dance of Fury.

Assuming you don't have that much Specialization, you'll be forced to put in more filler Dagger or Shadow skills to enter Persona Mode. This comes at a DPS loss and the cost of having a wonky skill rotation in later cycles. Using Black Mist over Shadow Trap makes things more flexible, albeit the skill itself is a Holding skill which takes some time to get comfy with. You'll still need high Specialization and multiple Wealth runes to keep things consistent. Otherwise, you'll be using filler skills all the same as the other builds. It cycles differs a bit, an example is as follows:

• Build Persona Meter with Shadow Storm & Shadow Vortex. Enter Persona Mode and cash in with Rage Spear.
• Start your second cycle with Nightmare's full combo, then move to the back of the boss while holding Black Mist.
• Cap your gauge with Shadow Vortex then use Glowing Brand.
• For your third cycle, you'll do two Shadow Vortex & a warp combo before finishing with Dance of Fury.
