Frontline Blueprint

Umbrella Barrier & Sustain Build

Build an anchor for co-op groups by fusing Vernal Umbrella control with defensive Inner Arts and high sustain pills. You will not burst targets, but nothing will move you off an objective.

Core Idea

Why this build works

Umbrella blocks and launchers interrupt elite combos and protect party members.
Sword swap adds steady damage and reliable parry frames when you need to counter.
Inner Art picks focus on HP%, healing received, and shield duration.
Perfect for multiplayer towers, escort contracts, and high-threat world bosses.

Loadout

Weapons & Arts

Vernal Umbrella: run Lotus Guard, Umbra Wall, and Blossom Detonation.
Resolute Sword: Rising Slash for posture work, Guard Crush for counter bursts.
Mystic Slots: barrier aura, pull skill, emergency heal pill.

Rotation

Sustain Loop

Open with Lotus Guard to grant party shields.
Position in front, spam Umbra Wall to block volleys.
When the boss staggers, swap to sword and perform Rising Slash → Light combo ×3.
Refresh shields, drop Blossom Detonation to keep enemies juggled.

Gearing

Set & Stats

Rainwhisper 4-piece: gives healing bonus and crit damage while shielded.
Stack HP%, Defense, Damage Reduction, and Healing Received.
Charms with Guard Stamina or Ally Heal Bonus round things out.

Tips

Play Smarter

Call out Blossom Detonation so DPS allies dump cooldowns while mobs float.
Rotate defensive skills even if no one is hurt—prevention beats panic healing.
Carry aggro-tonics to grab boss focus when random allies get targeted.
