Identity
Stance Swap & Dual Meter
Glaivier swaps between two weapons with Z which allows the use of different skills. The Glaive for Flurry(Blue) skills and the Spear for Focus(Red) skills. The Dual meter has 3 bars and gets consumed to use certain skills and provide a buff when swapping stances. The Dual meter gets filled over time and when hitting enemies with skills. As it currently exists, the Dual meter fills much faster than it can be used and doesn't need to be managed in practical gameplay.

Variant Overview
232-Chain Hit
Ark Grid Cores
Yeon Style Slash Chain Hit Illusion |
Core Priority
Priority is Yeon Style Slash > Illusion > Chain Hit
Ark Grid does not fundamentally change Control Glaivier. As such there is no minimum core setup.
Priorities
- Cast Yeon-Style Technique and Dragon's Rampage off cooldown.
- Yeon-Style Technique will be off cooldown at different points in your rotation, interrupt the rotation at any time to cast it.
- All skill casts reduce the cooldown of Yeon-Style Technique so it is worth it to cast regular skills during downtime.
- The Final Decision tripod on Chain Slash and Half Moon Slash reduces the already short cooldown of your spacebar. This is a big source of Control's push immunity. You will be able to spacebar every pattern the boss uses, so maximize your uptime!

- Try to reach 97-100% crit rate. This setup assumes you have some amount of crit on your Bracelet/Rings and relic Adrenaline, but no crit rate synergy.
- You can allocate points into Master (preferred), Keen Sense, or move a couple of points from Swiftness into Crit to increase crit rate.
- If you do have a crit rate synergy, you may need to swap to Blunt Thorn and increase your crit rate to 120% to take advantage of it.
- Remember to account for your 20% self crit rate buff and 10% crit rate from back attacks when doing crit rate calculations.

Cooldown
DPS Distribution
Rotation
Control is a mostly rotationless class, refer above to damage distribution and use skills in order of highest to lowest damage
General Rotation
These 3 skills have a similar cooldown, treat them as a "Block" and use them together
Remember, always use your X and T off cooldown, interrupt any skill to do so.
Thorn Jab does negligible damage. Hold it for counters or stagger, or use it if every other skill is on cooldown for cooldown reduction on your X.
