Tips
  • Rend is most effective against heavily armored enemies or those with shields.
  • Due to its long wind-up animation, it's best used on stunned or unaware enemies to avoid interruption.
  • Consider combining Rend with abilities that stun or immobilize enemies for maximum impact.
  • While Rend ignores armor, it still consumes stamina, so manage your stamina bar effectively.
