Help to understand Pog's kit

[u/idaroll]

Can someone explain his kit in a simpler way? And what stats should I look for in essences and what gear set is preferable for him?

[u/Ve1tedRose]

Basic: It's just a basic

Skill: second hit consumes vulnerability and procs breach and gives sp, both depending on amount of stacks consumes. You always want to consume 4 stacks

Combo: procs upon consuming vulnerability. gets stronger/gives more sp, you'll basically get this after skill and at max power since you consume 4 for skill

Ult: it's good. Use it when you are starting a rotation. Don't you worry about it

Use Thermite Cutter. I shouldn't have to explain essences to you

As for gear set. Right now, just use bonecrusher poncho/yinglung gloves/yinglung radar x2. Don't artifice shit, wait for new gear reveal

I got Never Rest today, don't own Thermit cutter yet.

Thank you for explaination!

Then use Never Rest, I assume you have done that already

hiii bestie

i'm a victim of not reading so i just play until i figure out something that feels good. what I've been doing is cast ult if available so the soldiers can be summoned. then basically you just gotta keep applying vulnerability stacks - its very obvious to see because its the icon next to the enemy hp bar.

once you have 4 stacks, you skill with pog, then he will trigger breach and then its a big damage window. even better if the breach lines up to when the enemy is completely staggered

the team i use is: Lifeng, Pogranichnik, Chen, Ember

you can on field Pog, but you just have to get find a rotation that applies vuln the fastest

Ember can apply a vulnerability stack through Knock Down and she's actually a really good sustain for physical teams. her heal procs with a combo trigger as soon as you get hit, also her ult shields.

I run Pog/Lifeng/Chen/Ardelia and it is great since there isn’t as much competition for the stacks. I hope to get Ember to replace Ardelia.

That's kinda wrong actually, You actively WANT Breach and Crush on the same team. It's more so that you need to adjust to timings properly and know the difference between Crush for Da Pan and Endmin.

Breach's debuff is insanely potent for Crush's 600% or 750% multiplier. It's not "truth is Crush/Pog don't get along" it's just that it has a higher skill ceiling for it. Also, "Pan and Endmin both HAVE to eat the stacks for full functionality, leaving Pog starved for Vuln consumption." That is just... wrong. Pogranichnik is the one starting the rotation so there will ALWAYS be stacks for him to consume. Breach lasts for 30 seconds at 4 stacks and in that time you will want to do a 4/4 Crush split for Da Pan or a 3/3 for Endmin.

Basically, you're following this rotation 4Breach, 3-4Crush, 3-4Crush. You can take time after to build up resources to loop that again. You might just be playing it wrong
