Surge Zero: Skill Descriptions, Tripods, Gems and Runes
2.
Skill Descriptions
Surge Zero's main DPS skills are all charges.Within those, some provide great Death Orb generation. Her other skills grantparty Synergy, serve as movement tools or damage fillers.
2.1.
Synergy and Movement Skills
- Dark Axel is a push immune skill that serves as a reposition tool. With High Axel, you can jump over even Legion Commanders!
- Maelstrom increases your Death Orb build-up via Orb Control and grants Attack / Move Speed buffs to yourself and party. Crucialto use before big gauge builders like Soul Absorber & Void Strike.
- Spincutter is a low cooldown Synergy skills, providing +3% increased damage and an additional +9% to positional attacks.
2.2.
Damage Skills
- Blitz Rush is our second highest DPS skill, only behind Surge itself.
- Earth Cleaver serves as our Counter, Destruction & decent Stagger skill.On top of all of this it has a tripod for push immunity, it's an insanely packed skillin your kit.
- Wind Cut is your best Surge stack builder due to its lingering hitbox,genrating up to four stacks. It also has an extremely low cooldown.
- Soul Absorber generates a large amount of gauge and contributes aslightly less amount of DPS than Blitz Rush.
- Void Strike is your fourth strongest skill and provides a littleless gauge than Soul Absorber.
- Moonlight Sonic isn't a positional thus won't benefit from Master of Ambush. This said, it'sstill a solid filler that can replace Dark Axel if you aren't in needof the mobility.
3.
Tripods
Your main priority for tripods should be increased Orb generation and damageincreases on your DPS skills. While some cannot be leveled at all, you also have the option ofleaving low priority at around level 3-4 until you're able to level them further.
