This build is a common Heroes Ascent build, utilizing the highly offensive capabilities of Assassins and Elementalists to destroy opposing teams. This Build is still under development, you can help on fulfilling it. See Talk page for more information.
Blurred Vision should be kept on opposing Assassins and Warriors as much as possible.
There are many variants which drop the water Elementalist for another character. See Replace Water Elementalist section.
Usage[ | ]
The BoA Assassin(s) should select a target and alert the team to be ready to spike.
Have the Second BoA Assassin attack the team's other monk should they have one during the spike.
During the spike itself the Assassins should unleash their combo while the SH Ele uses Gale and SH to unleash massive damage while keeping the monk on the ground.
When not spiking, the SH Ele should be using Immolate, Glowing Gaze, and Meteor to harass the other team with periodic bursts of damage and burning.
The water elementalist should be constantly hammering other weapon based classes with Blurred Vision,Water Trident,Freezing Gust etc...
The two eles can also coordinate a pressure spike of their own. The Water Elementalist can cast Deep Freeze on a group of clumped foes, while the fire ele uses Savannah Heat to unleash a massive amount of damage upon them.
Variants[ | ]
Here are some major variants listed. However remember that you can consider this build as a meta build. Any variant of your own may work too. Stay creative.
For more variants see the [Build talk:Team - HA Burst Of Heat|Talk Page].
NB : Do not use this variant in the "two spiking teams" variant because it will kill all the syncronisation of the team (If you fail to kill a target without the help of Savannah Heat or if you run out of energy when Savannah Heat is ready).
This build focuses on a more defensive role, generally replacing the water elementalist.
Be careful to not overexhaust yourself with Gale.
Also beware of the pros and cons of wards, if your casters are bunched up within the wards, they may be vulnerable to various AoEs, Meteor Shower,Savannah Heat ect...
Another SH Elementalist (two spiking teams variant) :[ | ]
This variants relies on two spiking teams. The teams are 1 BoA Sin and 1 SH Nuker.
If the target is not already dead, team finish to kill him with dagues attacks and Fire Magic Spells.
Switch target. Even if Gale can help, knocking down target for 2s, team would better not use the Shadow Prison + Savannah Heat combo again until those skills are both recharged. Communication is vital.
Notes[ | ]
The two teams can work either independently or not. Depending on the target.
Target must stay in the area of effect of Savannah Heat 5s for maximum spike. That why it is important to coordinate well Shadow Prison, Savannah Heat and Gale. Note that Shadow Prison duration is 7s.
Both SH Elementalists may take Arcane Echo for a double Savannah Heat (510 damage in 5 seconds). However be aware that Arcane Echo can't be used on each spike because of the recharge time.
Then Fire Attunement may be dropped for a relic running skill if you plan to cast only during spikes (10 to 25 Energy from Fire spells). This depend on your use of the build, make your self idea.
A good coordination is needed. This build is better be used by organized teams.
