Build Use

Every time one of the listed Control Skills hits, your current Martial Art Skill comes off cooldown sooner: 1 second at base (once every 10 seconds), 2 seconds at Tier 1 and 5 seconds at Tier 4. Slot a Control Skill into your rotation and use it right before you need your Martial Art Skill again.

Tiers 3 and 6 reward hitting controlled targets. Tier 3 adds 10% Martial Skill Chi Damage against enemies under your own Crowd Control or Erosion effects, and Tier 6 gives Bone Grinding (+10% Martial Art Skill HP damage, up to 3 stacks) when you hit them with Martial Art Skills. Tiers 2 and 5 add Min Bamboocut Attack and Bamboocut Penetration.

The cooldown cut can only trigger once every 10 seconds, so one Control Skill hit per window is enough; spend the rest of the time on damage.
