Build Use
Hitting with any of the listed Varied Combo skills gives you a stack of Throat-Pierced for 15 seconds. Each stack makes your direct damage ignore 2 points of the target's Physical Resistance and adds 2% Critical DMG. Tier 3 raises that to 3 points and 3%, and Tier 4 raises the cap from 3 to 5 stacks.
Keep weaving Varied Combos into your rotation so the stacks never run out. At Tier 6, a successful deflection instantly grants 5 stacks (once every 20 seconds), and Assist Trigger Skill and Assist effects also grant Throat-Pierced. Tiers 2 and 5 add Stonesplit Attack and Stonesplit Penetration.
