Expert Tips

River Spirit (tiger stance) passive AoE is your primary DPS. Spam it more than any other stance in fights.
Wingborne Storm (phoenix stance) does cone AoE. Use it on clusters of enemies in teamfights.
Awaken (R) is your primary CC tool. Use it on the most impactful target in a fight, usually the dive threat.
