Usage

• Use Glyph of Lesser Energy at the start of the match for free bonds| to start with high energy to trigger Mind Blast.
• Throw up Mark of Rodgort and spam Mind Blast, keeping up Fire Attunement and Shield of Absorption as needed.
• Spam your AoE skill (could be a skill other than fireball) for more pressure on the opposing team.

Counters

• This can be done with any protection-based bonds (Vital Blessing, etc.) Note this is not recommended.
