• Fan – Conversion (Dual‑Weapon Skill): Swap to Fan when healing/support needed — gives flexibility in weapon loadout.

Soulshade Umbrella + Panacea Fan PvE Rotation

1. At the start of the encounter or when entering a dangerous area → equip Soulshade Umbrella → cast Echoes of a Thousand Plants to deploy the umbrella healing turret and begin passive Dew regeneration.
2. Immediately after or when safe → cast Floating Grace for a short damage boost and small heal to yourself. This prepares you for light damage output and helps survive incoming bursts.
3. Swap to Panacea Fan using Fan Conversion to enter your healing and support stance.
4. If you or your HP is low → use Emerald Dewtouch to heal yourself or a nearby ally and regenerate Dew.
5. If you expect sustained incoming damage or group pressure → use Cloudburst Healing to summon the water clone that provides continuous AoE healing and restores Dew.
6. If health is stable and no immediate heal is required → use Fourfold Inquiry with fan light attacks to deal light ranged damage and chip mobs while slowly rebuilding Dew. Fan light attacks do not consume Dew, making them safe for resource regen.
7. When heavily pressured or during boss phases where sustained healing is needed → use Light Dust After Morning Rain to apply a strong heal over time to yourself and the lowest HP ally.
8. Monitor the duration of your umbrella healing turret. When Echoes of a Thousand Plants expires or is about to end → swap back to Soulshade Umbrella and recast it for continuous passive sustain.

• Restoring Blossom: Critical heals apply a “Nurturing” buff — increases healing received by 2% for 3 s, stacking up to 3 — helps in high‑heal situations or group support phases.

Best Mystic Arts

• Serene Breeze: Channel Qi into your body to clear blockages in the veins. It can be used while under attack or control effects.
• Dragon’s Breath: Drink to enter Intoxicated. Breath fire with Qi, dealing damage over 2 hits plus Ignition.
