Rotations
Phase 1
wenarrows deathsswiftness + adrenrenewal → dummy + piercingshot → imbueshadows → gricocaroming → ecb eofspec → galeshot → surge + stall deadshotigneous
telos (tc) + (r) deadshotigneous + gloomfirebow eofspec → sgb eofspec → gricocaroming + bdmobile
Phase 2
wenarrows gricocaroming + bdmobile → rapid → escapemobile + snipe → gloomfirebow eofspec → piercingshot / grico
Phase 3
wenarrows gricocaroming → galeshot → rapid + run mid → go in redbeam + sgb eofspec → gricocaroming → piercingshot + surgemobile + bdmobile to jump spot
Note: if you can't get in the red beam on time, use piercingshot and then use sgb eofspec and continue with gricocaroming → piercingshot and use shadowtend here if needed
Phase 4
Rotations here are left in simplified form, with a strong understanding of P4 timing and movement being assumed. If in doubt, reference Telos Basic for a detailed font-by-font description.
Drop
Variation 1 (65%+)
Variation 2 (60%+)
fularrow deadshot → shadowtend
Variation 3 (58.5%)
fularrow gloomfirebow → shadowtend → piercingshot
Notes:
⬥ If you're using shadowtend run away from Telos after using deadshotigneous or gloomfirebow eofspec
⬥ If you have 10 wenarrows stacks use wenarrows instead of fularrow
