Asuran Scan - Use in areas with frequent blocking and blind application.
"I Am the Strongest!" - Extra damage in areas where Asuran Scan is unnecessary.
Feel No Pain - Use with alcohol for regen and health.
- Optional 2
"To the Limit!" - Tactics can be increased for more adrenaline and health, but 2 in Tactics is enough to charge both adrenaline skills while under "FGJ!".- Call of Protection - May be necessary in harder content to prevent skill bar lockdown upon pet death.

- "I Am Unstoppable!" - Tanky option and anti-cripple and knockdown.
- Tactics utility skill of choice.

- x2 Rune of Attunement.
- Sundering hammer of fortitude or defense with "Strength and Honor".
- Zealous hammer of fortitude or defense with "Strength and Honor" if you want.
Usage[]
- Use Never Rampage Alone to start combat and maintain throughout fight if continued increased attack speed is desired or as energy permits.
- Get adrenaline during combat with "For Great Justice!" and optionally "To the Limit!" .
- Use Charging Strike to power up auto attacks and as gap closer as energy permits.
- Be careful to not use any skills after activating Charging Strike and prior to your next attack or else you will lose the damage bonus.
- Use "Dodge This!" prior to activating Charging Strike for additional damage and unblockable auto attack.
- If mopping up enemies or if waiting for recharge of Charging Strike, then "Dodge This!" can be used to buff auto attacks instead of Charging Strike to preserve energy.
- Try to time the use of "Dodge This!" and Charging Strike just prior to connecting with upcoming auto attacks.
- Maintain your energy with Auspicious Blow .
- Use Asuran Scan if encountering heavy anti-melee hate or as necessary to build energy with Auspicious Blow.
- When Asuran Scan is necessary, lessen use of "Dodge This!" to prioritize adrenaline building for Auspicious Blow.
Counters[]
- Energy Denial.
- Heavy anti-melee hate.
- Shout prevention such as Vocal Minority is rare but lowers damage output.
Notes[]
- Norn title track to 5 first as Asuran doesn't really matter.
- Suggested to use hearty pet if possible as the pet's main purpose is aesthetic and as a meat shield and requisite for the player to activate Never Rampage Alone.
