Fractured Online: Aeromancer Solo Build - "Wind Kiting" Strategy

Survival in Fractured Online often comes down to mobility, especially when playing solo. The Aeromancer school offers incredible utility for keeping enemies at bay while whittling down their health. This “Wind Kiting” build focuses on high mobility, stamina management, and crowd control to ensure you take zero damage while dishing it out.

Core Skills

The heart of this build relies on two primary Aeromancer skills:

• Gust (Knockback): This is your primary defensive tool. When an enemy gets too close or begins a heavy attack animation, use Gust to push them back. It interrupts spellcasting and gives you breathing room to reposition.
• Zephyr (Speed Buff): Maintain 100% uptime on Zephyr whenever possible during combat. The movement speed increase is vital for the circle-strafing strategy, allowing you to outpace most melee mobs.

Equipment: Leather is King

For this build, Medium Armor (Leather) is the optimal choice.

• Why Leather? While Cloth offers better mana regeneration and Plate offers defense, Leather provides the best balance for Stamina Regeneration. High stamina is crucial for sprinting and dodging when your skills are on cooldown.
• Weapon: A Staff is recommended for the range and magic damage bonuses, though a Wand/Orb combo can work for faster casting.

Gameplay Strategy: Circle Strafing

The “Wind Kiting” strategy is all about movement.

1. Engage: Start the fight with your longest-range spell.
2. Zephyr Up: immediately pop Zephyr.
3. Circle Strafe: Move laterally around the target. Most enemy AI in Fractured Online struggles to track a target moving in a tight circle, causing many skill shots to miss completely.
4. Gust: If the enemy closes the gap, cast Gust to knock them back.
5. Repeat: Continue damage output while maintaining distance.

By prioritizing movement speed and stamina regen, you turn the Aeromancer into an untouchable force in the open world.
