Building A More Effective Backline: Build Synergy
Guide:GvG_Backline implemented

For a backline to be at its most effective, it must consist of two builds that synergise well together. Examples of this are not taking two copies of the same powerful enchantment that will cancel each other out, but instead taking similar, but different ones, or having elite skills that work well together, such as Word of Healing or Restore Condition. To get a better idea of how to build an effective backline, let's look at a standard dual monk backline in a balanced build.

As you can see, this backline has a clear definition of which monk is the main protter and which monk is the main healer. The entire build is based around reducing taken damage to a lower amount, while healing the damage that is taken in the most energy efficient manner possible. Each monk is designed to synergise with the other, in how they have Spirit Bond on the RC and Protective Spirit on the WoH. While Restore Condition is the primary condition removal skill, Draw Conditions works as an emergency spell when the RC suffers from dangerous conditions or a fast remove is needed on other characters. Some like to run Draw Conditions on a midline character in which case the WoH would usually run Dismiss Condition. However, despite being designed to work together, each build can also operate reasonably well by itself, which is the sign of an effective backline.
