How to use Noxious Gale build
Dance around the edges of fights, using Slicing Winds to dash in and apply Toxic Smackerel before retreating. Repeat this hit-and-run pattern to stack up damage over time.
Fade to Shadow and Faeform are your best friends, allowing you to dodge key abilities and reposition for your next attack. Use them often to stay elusive.
If focused, kite enemies toward your partner so they can help collapse. This build struggles in extended 1v1s, so avoid isolating yourself.
In duos, look to poke from the flanks and keep Toxic Smackerel applied to as many targets as possible. Don't be afraid to disengage and heal up before diving back in.
Against melee opponents, abuse your superior mobility to kite them around and whittle them down. Against ranged, use Fade to Shadow to avoid poke while fishing for opportunities to all-in.
