Fire Blade Master (BM) Build Guide

 

Core Skills for Fire BM

 

To get started with a Fire BM build, you need two core skills:

 

1. Sun Stroke (at least one point, recommended more for optimal performance).

 

2. Dragontongue (essential for consistent DPS output).

 

Once you obtain these, you can progress by investing in:

 

• More points into Sun Stroke for more serious burst damage.

 

• Pierce (highly recommended as your third skill to sustain buffs longer).

 

• Flicker (important once you acquire the Mystic Badge and Blue Skill Books to extend the buff duration).

 

Fire BM Damage Rotation

 

The goal of this build is to maintain skill Buffs as long as possible.

 

1. Use Tab (Black Dragon Buff) for 6 seconds of increased power.

 

2. Activate V (Flock of Blades) to enter Draw Stance.

 

3. In Draw Stance, use X (Blade Storm) to extend the buff duration.

 

4. Hold right-click (Dragon Tongue) until it ends.

 

5. Repeat X when possible, followed by Tab.

 

6. Use Pierce to maximize uptime.

 

This rotation should be repeated efficiently to ensure consistent DPS.

 

Crowd Control (CC) & Defensive Skills

 

• Knockdowns (KD) are the most useful CC options in Tomb of Exiles and similar dungeons.

 

• For quick Knockdowns:

 

• Use E + 3 for instant CC.

 

• Block (Q) + 3 also works as an alternative.

 

• Escape from Draw Stance: Press E, use Lightning Blade, or Block + E.

 

Gear Recommendations

 

Prioritize equipping Mystic Badges and Blue Skill Books for extended buff durations.

 

Focus on getting Sun Stroke, Dragontongue, and Pierce gear enhancements.

 

Upgrade block skills for late-game content.
