Best leveling rotation

  • Soar
  • Ravager
  • Rushing Claw
  • Quill Volley
  • The Seeker (Ultimate)
  • Thunderspike

Start your Quill Volley Eagle Spiritborn rotation by using Soar to make enemies Vulnerable and land a guaranteed crit. Then, pop Ravager to ramp up your damage for the next 6 seconds, with each kill extending its duration so you can keep the pressure on. After that, use Rushing Claw to dash through enemies and stack up more damage with each charge.

Once the enemies are softened up, hit them with Quill Volley. Save The Seeker, for tougher fights or bigger groups, as it deals huge damage and guarantees crits. Use Thunderspike between cooldowns to generate Vigor.

Kick things off with Scourge to apply Poison damage, Fear, and Slow on your enemies. Next, activate Ravager to amp up your overall damage output. Then, follow up with Quill Volley to pierce through foes; hitting at least 3 feathers makes them Vulnerable, setting you up for bigger hits.

When enemies close in, use Counterattack to dodge their attacks and retaliate. You’ll enjoy extra crit damage for each nearby enemy while dealing damage back. Then unleash The Hunter (Ultimate) on softened or elite targets for massive area damage.

Finally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, pop Armored Hide to become Unstoppable, boost your Block Chance, and reduce damage taken.
