Aeromancer Identity 

Her identity skill is called Sun Shower. Her identity is quite passive but also affects the other players and herself, damage performance. As the first intention was a synergy dealing class. Her identity gives you and your teammates quite a useful buff, during her identity uptime. 

Aeromancer Engravings

Drizzle - Weather Concept Engraving: major skill is consistent with the weather skills

Gale Range - Umbrella Blade Engraving: major skill consists of umbrella hidden blade skills. This is the most popular engraving on the Korean server now.

Aeromancer Skill Mechanics & Build Gameplay

Now let's talk about the main skills and gameplay mechanics of two Aeromancer builds based on her class engravings:

Drizzle Build Skills

Drizzle has a simple skill combos right now. First, fill up the identity with Identity Supply skills, turn on identity, and deal with the major skills. The reason for these skilled combos is because of the Tripod called Steam Control, this tripod will enhance the weather skill damage when it's turned on, so you got to deal with it in this limited time now.

Drizzle Build Gameplay

Drizzle is our senior dealer concept but still, it has a lot of ongoing debate on Korea's server community. Also, Drizzle skill is consistent with the stationary and multi-hit skills so it has a little difficulty to make full hit deals.

Gale Range Build Skills

In order to understand the skill combos of this engraving, you need to understand two tripods: Generate Airflow and Countercurrent. Generate the shield with a Generate Airflow tripod and transfer those shields into damage increase so you get to constantly check those shields before you try the deal. Let's turn on the side effect with our awakening skill and she has a two generated airflow skills, so you get to constantly check those shields before you try to deal with these four countercurrent scales. You have to maintain the shield in order to deal properly.

Gale Range Build Gameplay

Gale Range is using a swiftness combat stat and umbrella blade, so it looks fast and will give you quite satisfying gameplay. But it has some little intricate skill combos too, not only you got to focus on the raid itself, but also you got to focus on your skills too.
