Equipment

 * Ideally have a +4 Inspiration Magic headpiece to swap to for using [[Lyssa's Aura@14] for +5 pips of energy regeneration compared to the +3 from 10 Inspiration Magic [[Lyssa's Aura@10] but this is not mandatory.
 * Besides the attribute runes, other runes and insignias are fairly inconsequential.
 * A Domination 40/40 set is ideal for after nuking the group and fighting the boss to further increase [[Backfire] upkeep and come closer to maintaining it with the half skill recharge proc.

Usage

 * This build relies on the interaction between and  to make  a large AoE nuke with the small downside of having to rely on the crit proc of the skill.

Getting There

 * Leave from Longeye's Ledge and make your way in the direction of the res shrine near the Sacnoth Valley.
 * Make sure your Ebon Vanguard Title is displayed for the free benefits.


 * Once you've arrived at the Charr camp use your abilities to clear out the 2 Charr warriors standing guard by the entrance.
 * Flag your hero out of the way so they don't cause any inconvenience while killing the 2 guards.
 * I'd recommend casting [[Lyssa's Aura@14] with the Inspiration headpiece equipped before engaging.
 * Then use [[Empathy@16], [[Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support], and the [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support] combo to kill them, using [[Ether Feast] when needed to heal.
 * Don't underestimate this fight. These guys can kill you fairly easily if you're careless.
 * Once the guards are dead, flag your hero near the entry point to the long bottleneck pathway entering into the camp and keep them there to run back to between combos.

Boss Group Pathing

 * It is important to take notice of the boss's patrol route for this as you will be comboing at either end of the route.
 * When you enter the area the boss group will likely be walking from western side of the camp towards the middle-ish. From the middle, the group will then patrol back and forth between there and the southern end near the prison cages.
 * You will be comboing at the end of this patrol on either end when the group balls up for a few seconds.

Nuking

 * When the boss group has balled up at the end of their patrol, use your hero's running shouts on yourself and run up just outside of aggro range, cast [[Stone Striker@2] and [[Intensity], and then use [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support] on the group.
 * On the northern end of their patrol it's usually best to target the boss, Chaelse Flameshielder, and on the southern end of the patrol, the Charr Dominator tends to be the best target in order to have the AoE hit all targets.
 * If you did not get the critical proc on [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support] then run back to your hero to break aggro.
 * If you did get the critical proc on [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support], immediately flag your hero out of map range so that they do not affect your drops.

Killing the Boss

 * After flagging your hero away, cast [[Lyssa's Aura] with your Inspiration headpiece equipped if you choose to have one.
 * Then cast [[Backfire@16] → [[Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support] → [[Empathy@16] and [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support] again when off cooldown.
 * Be sure to recast [[Backfire@16] immediately when off cooldown as this is the ability that causes the most impact on the boss dying.
 * Use [[Ether Feast] as necessary to keep yourself healthy.
 * Pick up your drops then run to the Sacnoth Valley portal to rezone and repeat the farm.

Counters

 * Not targeting the right enemy and the crit of [[Ebon Vanguard Sniper Support] doesn't kill all of the Charr in the group.
 * A few of the Charr in the group have a res ability.
 * RNG being against you and not getting the crit proc.
