Advantages and Weaknesses

Advantages:

1. High Explosive Damage: The build focuses on dealing explosive damage with the light crossbow and associated abilities, allowing for quick elimination of enemy groups.

2. Speedy Area Clearance: The combination of the light crossbow and area-of-effect abilities enables efficient and fast clearing of monster areas.

3. Good for Small PvE Groups: Ideal for engagements against small enemy groups in PvE due to its ability to eliminate multiple targets at once.

4. Affordable: The build utilizes equipment and abilities that are accessible to most players, making it easy to acquire and use.

Weaknesses:

1. No Additional Mobility Aside from Boot Spell: The build lacks additional mobility options beyond the spell from the boots, which may limit escape or repositioning capability in combat.

2. Not Suitable for Large-scale Fights: Due to its focus on explosive damage and area-of-effect abilities, the build may not be optimal for large-scale engagements where greater crowd control or endurance is required.

Gameplay Style

Your Q spell is crucial. Thanks to its low cooldown and high base damage, it's ideal for monster elimination. Between each Q, you can use your W, E, or auto-attacks. Your W ability throws a trap that doesn't deal much damage but slows enemies and boosts your movement speed. It has a short cooldown, allowing frequent use. (This spell unlocks at crossbow level 15, so you'll need to defeat more monsters before you can use it.) Your E ability, Explosive Shot, is a good starter ability that attaches a bomb to your target. It deals little initial damage but explodes after 2 seconds, inflicting more damage within a larger radius. If the target dies before the explosion, it won't deal area damage. By combining these abilities with your passive, Well Prepared, you unlock even more damage potential. To use it effectively, use your Q as the fourth spell. This immediately eliminates any cooldown, allowing you to use your Q twice in a row. Since your Q has a short cooldown and you have additional abilities, you can quickly perform several passive rotations. When you're low on energy or need extra energy, use your habit's ability. For each hit you take, you replenish some energy and reduce the damage you take. The powerful defensive ability of the tunic can be used to avoid damage. If you take damage within 1.5 seconds of activating the tunic, you gain an invulnerability shield that protects you from damage and increases your damage by 20% for 3 seconds. Your boots compensate for your lack of mobility. They have an ability that charges gradually, allowing you to escape fights. Although it lets you cover great distances, it has a 1-minute cooldown.
