  1. 01SetupScout the engagement

    Build energy with your weapon sequence, then place Jade Sphere where the group or target will remain for its full duration.

    Jade Sphere›Elemental Celerity›Arcane Shield    Stay in commander range
  2. 02CommitPush on the call

    Spend energy on the sphere that covers the current damage, boon, or defensive requirement—not simply the first one available.

    Elemental Celerity›Arcane Shield›Catalyst skill 4    Respect reflects and stability
  3. 03ResetDisengage cleanly

    Keep a sphere or defensive attunement for the next push and avoid dropping every field before the commander commits.

    Arcane Shield›Catalyst skill 4›Catalyst skill 5    Leave before the counter-push
