Glaivier - Chaos Dungeon/Cube Build

Intro

The Glaivier Chaos Dungeon and Cube build heavily focuses on large amounts of AOE damage, paired with a couple of single target big burst damage skills for faster clearing of elite mobs and bosses. The build relies mostly on sitting in your Moon Stance as Moon Skills have heavy AOE damage while swapping to Sun Stance when you are dealing with elite mobs and bosses to burst them down with single target damaging skills.

Combat Stats

Glaivier is a class that heavily benefits from high Specialization due to constant identity gauge farm to swap stances for great buffs on swap. Adding Swiftness as a secondary stat on necklace will benefit Glaivier with increased attack and move speed with lower cooldowns, as you already gain a lot of Crit from tripods and swapping stances, Specialization and Swiftness are the two main stats to focus.

Runes

Having perfect rune setup for chaos dungeons and cube is not important, and you will only want to prioritize 2 runes

• Bleed, 4 on Double Strike and Chain Slash
• Galewind, 3 on Raging Dragon Slash, Thrust of Destruction and Cutting Wind

You can equip the runes you have on whichever skills as they do not matter to much and won't slow down your clearing

Gameplay and Rotation

Chaos Dungeons and Cube is fairly easy to complete but regardless of that you should still make it even easier for yourself by having a good rotation and knowing which skills to use in different situations so your clearing is much faster and efficient. You do not have nor need perfect rotation but try to follow these:

1. Always group up and lure mobs by running around until they are all packed
2. Use Windsplitter then combo straight after with Cutting Wind
3. Next pack of mobs use Shackling Blue Dragon for medium damage and crit debuff on hit
4. Combo Raging Dragon Slash for massive amounts of damage
5. Swap to Sun Stance and use Starfall Pounce to clear any other remaining low HP mobs
6. 4-Headed Dragon For next wave of mobs while you use Thrust of Destruction to deal with elite mobs
7. Swap back to Moon Stance after you fill up identity gauge
8. Rinse and repeat whole process until everything is cleared

Summary

• Glaivier has an excellent AOE clear in Moon Stance while having high single target burst skills in Sun Stance to deal with elites and bosses
• Always use your awakening skill Yeon-Style Spear Technique: Spear Meteor to kill boss in Stage 2 fast. The cooldown will be refresh upon kill
• Make sure you are grouping up mobs before using any of your moon skills with high AOE damage
• Finish off low HP mobs while you are in Sun Stance
• Use filler skills while everything is on cooldown
• Always swap stances when the meter is filled to gain maximum bonuses
