Quarterstaff Mists

Quarterstaff is one of my favorite weapons for solo Mists PvP when I want something with excellent mobility, plenty of crowd control, and the ability to stay on top of opponents.

However, there's one important thing I want to explain before getting into the abilities.

This is primarily an Item Power advantage build.

You can definitely win fights against equally geared players, but the setup becomes considerably stronger when you have higher Item Power than your opponent.

We're combining Cartwheel, Stun Run, and Vault Leap to control our opponent while dealing damage with Stalker Jacket and normal attacks.

Morgana Cape is another important part of the build because it gives us a large attack speed bonus after activating Vault Leap.

And since we're using Life Leech, those normal attacks also provide some additional healing.

The main idea is pretty straightforward.

Use your mobility to choose when to fight, control your opponent with crowd control, and deal as much damage as possible while Morgana Cape and Electric Field are active.

However, don't make the mistake of using every movement ability immediately.

Quarterstaff is extremely mobile, but you can still get caught if everything is on cooldown.

1. Main Abilities

Here's the default ability setup we're using for solo Mists.

Slot	Ability	Main Purpose
Q	Cartwheel	Mobility, knockback, and damage resistance
W	Stun Run	Movement speed and a stun from your next normal attack
E	Vault Leap	Damage, mobility, knockup, and temporary immunity
Passive	Life Leech	Health recovery from normal attacks

Cartwheel (Q)

Cartwheel is probably the ability you'll be using the most.

It allows you to dash toward a targeted location, dealing damage and knocking back enemies you pass through.

This makes it useful for both engaging and escaping.

For example, if someone is trying to run away, you can use Cartwheel to close the distance.

And if you're fighting an opponent who wants to stay close, you can use it to reposition or create some space.

However, there's another important mechanic.

If you take damage while using Cartwheel, you receive increased damage resistance for three seconds.

This can be extremely useful against opponents with predictable attacks.

For example, if you know someone is about to use a dangerous ability, you can time Cartwheel so the incoming damage connects during your dash.

You'll still need to deal with that damage, but the resistance bonus afterward can help you survive the rest of their combination.

Timing Your Cartwheel

A common mistake is using Cartwheel simply because it's available.

Yes, it has a short cooldown, but its defensive potential is also quite valuable.

Against certain opponents, you might want to save it until they commit to an attack.

You can also use Cartwheel to move through your opponent rather than always moving directly toward them.

This can make it harder for them to land their next ability.

However, be careful when using it with Stalker Jacket.

Cartwheel knocks enemies back, which means you can accidentally push your opponent out of Electric Field's range.

Try to position your dash so you can continue dealing damage afterward.

Habo Tip: Cartwheel doesn't require you to hit an enemy to move. That makes it one of your most reliable escape abilities. You can use it to create distance even when there isn't a suitable target nearby.

Important Energy Change

Cartwheel's Energy cost was increased from 5 to 7 in Dragonfire Patch 3.

This might not sound like much, but it adds up when you're using the ability repeatedly during longer fights.

That's another reason why we're using Energizing Shield on our helmet.

Try not to waste Cartwheel constantly while traveling, especially when you're expecting PvP.

Stun Run (W)

Stun Run is our default W ability.

When activated, it increases your movement speed by 30% for up to four seconds.

But the important part is that your first normal attack during Stun Run stuns the target.

This gives us another way to control our opponent.

For example, if someone is trying to escape, you can activate Stun Run to catch up with them.

Once you're close enough, land a normal attack to stun them.

You can then follow up with Vault Leap, Electric Field, or more normal attacks.

However, there's one mechanic you need to understand.

The movement speed bonus ends when you land the empowered normal attack.

So you need to decide whether you want to keep running or use the stun.

If your opponent is still far away, attacking something too early can waste the movement speed you needed to catch them.

Using Stun Run Defensively

Stun Run isn't only useful for chasing.

You can also use it to create distance from dangerous opponents.

For example, if someone activates a powerful damage ability, you can use Stun Run to move away.

And if they manage to catch you, the stun from your next normal attack can create another opportunity to escape.

Just remember that you need to land that normal attack.

It's not an automatic stun around your character.

Don't Waste Your Stun

Against certain builds, the stun is much more valuable than the movement speed.

For example, if an opponent relies on an important interruptible channel, you can potentially use Stun Run to stop it.

But if they have crowd control immunity available, your stun might not work.

Try to pay attention to their defensive abilities before committing.

Vault Leap (E)

Vault Leap is our main engage and one of the strongest abilities in this setup.

It allows you to leap toward a targeted location, dealing area damage when you land.

Enemies caught near the landing position are knocked into the air.

However, the best part is what happens during the leap.

You're immune to damage and crowd control until impact.

This is particularly valuable against opponents who rely on predictable burst combinations.

For example, if someone is about to land their strongest damage ability, you can use Vault Leap to avoid it when timed correctly.

And since the ability also provides mobility, you can reposition at the same time.

Using Vault Leap Offensively

Most of the time, we're using Vault Leap to engage and trigger Morgana Cape.

When you activate your E, Morgana Cape gives you a temporary attack speed bonus.

This works extremely well with Quarterstaff because we want to land as many normal attacks as possible.

Vault Leap also knocks up nearby enemies when you land, creating an opportunity to start attacking while they're under crowd control.

You can then use Stun Run to extend that control and keep dealing damage.

However, you need to be careful about your timing.

Don't use Vault Leap when your opponent still has several ways to escape.

If they immediately run away, you're losing a large part of Morgana Cape's damage potential.

Sometimes it's better to use Cartwheel and Stun Run first to force their mobility.

Then use Vault Leap when you're confident you can stay close.

Using Vault Leap Defensively

Vault Leap is also an excellent defensive ability.

You can use it to avoid dangerous attacks or escape when a fight isn't going your way.

For example, against an opponent with a large burst combination, timing Vault Leap correctly can completely avoid the incoming damage during its airborne window.

However, don't use it too early.

If your opponent recognizes what you're doing, they might simply wait until you land before using their main damage ability.

And remember that using Vault Leap defensively can activate Morgana Cape.

That means your cape might not be available for your next offensive engage.

Sometimes that's perfectly fine.

Surviving is more important than saving your cape.

Life Leech (Passive)

For our passive, we're using Life Leech.

This gives us additional healing from normal attacks.

It works particularly well with Morgana Cape because the increased attack speed allows us to land more attacks in a short period.

However, there's an important distinction.

Life Leech only provides healing through your normal attacks.

Cartwheel, Vault Leap, and Electric Field don't directly trigger your weapon's Life Leech passive.

That's why normal attacks are such an important part of this build.

Try to attack between your abilities whenever possible.

But don't force yourself to stay in melee range just to recover a little Health.

Against some opponents, avoiding damage is considerably more important.

2. How to Fight With Quarterstaff

The biggest advantage of this build is that you have plenty of ways to control how a fight plays out.

You can approach quickly, knock opponents away, stun them, and use Vault Leap to avoid dangerous attacks.

However, you still need to deal enough damage to finish the fight.

That's where Morgana Cape, Stalker Jacket, and your normal attacks come in.

Basic PvP Rotation

Here's an example of how I would approach a favorable fight.

Step	Ability	What to Do
1	Cartwheel	Approach and start dealing damage
2	Stun Run	Gain movement speed and prepare your stun
3	Vault Leap	Deal damage, knock up the target, and activate Morgana Cape
4	Normal Attack	Use your Stun Run stun when the target can be controlled
5	Electric Field	Deal continuous area damage while staying close
6	Normal Attacks	Use Morgana Cape's attack speed and Life Leech
7	Cartwheel	Follow movement or reposition
8	Healing Potion	Recover Health when necessary

This isn't a fixed combination that you need to follow every single fight.

For example, sometimes you'll want to use Stun Run before Vault Leap to get close enough.

Other times, you might want to save Vault Leap until your opponent activates a dangerous ability.

The important thing is understanding what you're trying to accomplish.

Morgana Cape and Vault Leap Combo

This is probably the strongest offensive interaction in the build.

Morgana Cape activates when you use your E, giving you a large temporary attack speed bonus.

Since we're using Quarterstaff with Life Leech, we benefit from both the additional damage and more frequent healing opportunities.

However, you don't want to waste that attack speed bonus.

Here's what I recommend.

1. Get close enough that you can realistically stay on your opponent.
2. Use Vault Leap to engage and activate Morgana Cape.
3. Land your normal attacks immediately after the knockup.
4. Use Stun Run's empowered attack to keep the target controlled.
5. Activate Electric Field when you can remain close.
6. Continue attacking while the bonuses are active.

The most important part is staying close after your E.

If your opponent escapes immediately, you're losing most of your attack speed bonus.

And since Morgana Cape has a long cooldown, you might not get another opportunity to use it during that fight.

Habo Tip: Don't activate Vault Leap simply because your cape is available. Sometimes waiting for your opponent to use their mobility first will give you a much stronger damage window.

Using Electric Field Properly

Electric Field is another major damage source.

It repeatedly damages enemies around you while active.

This means it works extremely well when you're standing close to an opponent and landing normal attacks.

However, there's a downside.

If your opponent creates distance, Electric Field stops dealing damage to them.

That's why our crowd control is so valuable.

We can use Stun Run to stop them briefly and Cartwheel or Vault Leap to follow their movement.

But you also need to be careful with Cartwheel's knockback.

You don't want to push someone away while Electric Field is active unless you're using the knockback for a good reason.

When to Activate Electric Field

I generally recommend activating it when your opponent is already committed to staying close.

For example, against a melee brawler who wants to trade damage, Electric Field can be extremely effective.

But against a ranged player with several movement abilities, activating it too early might waste most of its duration.

Try to force their movement first.

Then use Electric Field when you know you can actually hit them.

Don't Use All Your Mobility Immediately

Between Cartwheel, Stun Run, Vault Leap, and Refreshing Sprint, we have excellent mobility.

However, using everything immediately can still get you killed.

For example, if you use Vault Leap and Stun Run just to approach someone, they might activate their boots and escape.

Now you're left with Cartwheel and Refreshing Sprint to catch them.

And if another player shows up while you're chasing, you might have very few ways to escape.

That's why I recommend using your movement abilities one at a time whenever possible.

You don't always need to catch everyone.

Sometimes letting someone escape is better than risking your set.

3. Equipment and Defensive Abilities

Besides Quarterstaff, we're using equipment that gives us additional damage, Energy recovery, and mobility.

Equipment	Ability	Main Purpose
Scholar Cowl	Energizing Shield	Energy recovery and a protective shield
Stalker Jacket	Electric Field	Additional area damage
Hunter Shoes	Refreshing Sprint	Movement speed and shorter cooldowns
Morgana Cape	Mark of the Raven	Temporary attack speed and casting speed bonus

Scholar Cowl

For our helmet, we're using Scholar Cowl with Energizing Shield.

Energizing Shield provides a small protective shield while restoring some of our missing Energy.

This works extremely well with Quarterstaff because we're constantly using Cartwheel and other abilities.

And with Cartwheel's Energy cost increased in Dragonfire Patch 3, having additional Energy recovery is even more useful.

However, don't activate Energizing Shield when you have full Energy and aren't taking damage.

Try to get value from both parts of the ability.

For example, if you've been fighting for a while and your Energy is getting low, you can use Energizing Shield to recover while absorbing some incoming damage.

Alternative: Any Cloth Cowl

You don't specifically need Scholar Cowl.

Any Cloth Cowl with Energizing Shield can work for this setup.

Since we're using a generic helmet ability, feel free to choose the cheapest option.

Just make sure you're using the correct spell and armor passive.

Stalker Jacket

For our chest, we're using Stalker Jacket with Electric Field.

This is one of the biggest damage sources in our build.

Electric Field creates an area around your character that repeatedly damages nearby enemies.

It works extremely well with Quarterstaff because we have enough mobility and crowd control to stay close.

For example, you can engage with Vault Leap, stun your opponent, and activate Electric Field while attacking.

This allows you to deal damage from both your armor and normal attacks at the same time.

However, Electric Field isn't always the best ability for every matchup.

Against opponents who can easily create distance, you might struggle to get full value.

And against damage reflection, it can become dangerous.

Inferno Shield (Alternative Chest Ability)

Inferno Shield is another useful option on Stalker Jacket.

Instead of dealing damage with Electric Field, it increases your defenses and reflects part of the incoming damage.

This can be particularly useful against opponents who want to stand close and trade damage.

For example, against a melee build with strong burst, Inferno Shield can help you survive while punishing them for continuing to attack.

However, you're giving up a large part of your regular damage.

Chest Ability	Best Use
Electric Field	Default setup for damage, PvE, and aggressive fights
Inferno Shield	Defensive brawling and dangerous melee matchups

Personally, I'd keep Electric Field as the default.

But if you're expecting a difficult matchup where you need more protection, Inferno Shield is a perfectly reasonable alternative.

Hunter Shoes

For our boots, we're using Refreshing Sprint.

This gives us additional movement speed while increasing our cooldown rate.

Both effects are useful because we want to keep Cartwheel, Stun Run, and Vault Leap available as frequently as possible.

The additional movement speed also helps when chasing opponents.

However, there's something important to remember.

Refreshing Sprint is another movement ability that you can waste.

If you activate Stun Run and Refreshing Sprint immediately, you might not have anything available when your opponent uses their boots afterward.

Try to spread out your mobility.

Alternative: Any Leather Shoes

You don't specifically need Hunter Shoes.

Any Leather Shoes with Refreshing Sprint can work.

You can choose whichever option is cheapest while keeping the armor passive you want.

This makes the build a little more affordable without changing its main playstyle.

Morgana Cape

Morgana Cape is one of the most important parts of this setup.

Its Mark of the Raven ability activates when you use your E, providing a large temporary bonus to attack speed and casting speed.

This works extremely well with Quarterstaff because Vault Leap allows us to engage and knock up opponents.

We can then take advantage of the attack speed bonus to land more normal attacks.

And since we're using Life Leech, those attacks also provide additional healing.

However, Morgana Cape has a long cooldown.

That means you shouldn't expect it to activate every time you use Vault Leap.

Pay attention to whether your cape is actually available before committing to a fight.

If Morgana Cape is still on cooldown, you might have considerably less damage than during your previous engagement.

Alternative: Martlock Cape

If you want additional protection, Martlock Cape is another option.

It automatically increases your defenses when your Health drops low enough.

This can be useful against opponents with strong burst damage.

However, you're giving up the attack speed bonus from Morgana Cape.

And since our build relies heavily on normal attacks, that's a noticeable damage loss.

For the main setup, I recommend keeping Morgana Cape.

4. Food and Potions

We're using Deadwater Eel Stew and Major Healing Potions.

Both are useful, but for different reasons.

Consumable	Main Purpose
Deadwater Eel Stew	Increased damage and shorter cooldowns
Major Healing Potion	Additional Health recovery
Major Resistance Potion (Alternative)	Protection against dangerous burst
Beef Stew (Budget Alternative)	Increased damage at a lower cost

Deadwater Eel Stew

Deadwater Eel Stew is an excellent food option for Quarterstaff.

It increases our damage while also reducing our cooldowns.

Both bonuses are extremely valuable.

We want to use Cartwheel as often as necessary for mobility and damage resistance.

And getting Vault Leap and Stun Run back sooner gives us more opportunities to control the fight.

The additional damage also works well with our normal attacks and Electric Field.

Personally, I wouldn't change the food for the main setup.

Major Healing Potion

Healing Potions are our main source of direct healing during fights.

We also have Life Leech, but that only works when we're landing normal attacks.

Against opponents who are constantly creating distance, we might not get enough healing from our passive.

That's why Healing Potions are so important.

I recommend using one when you've taken enough damage to benefit from the recovery.

Don't wait until you're almost dead.

You want to recover enough Health that you can continue fighting or disengage safely.

Resistance Potion Alternative

Against certain burst builds, Resistance Potions can be useful.

They reduce incoming damage for a short duration.

This can help when you're expecting an opponent to use a dangerous damage combination.

However, you're giving up direct healing.

For general Mists roaming, I'd keep Healing Potions equipped.

5. Matchup Tips

Quarterstaff is a flexible weapon, but some opponents are considerably more difficult than others.

And since this is an Item Power advantage setup, I recommend paying attention to your opponent's equipment before deciding whether to engage.

Opponent	What I Recommend
Melee Brawlers	Use Electric Field when they commit and Cartwheel defensively
Ranged Kiters	Save Stun Run and Refreshing Sprint for chasing
Burst Builds	Time Vault Leap to avoid important damage
Reflect Builds	Don't attack into active reflection with Electric Field
Healing Builds	Maintain pressure, but avoid unfavorable extended fights
Highly Mobile Builds	Force movement abilities before activating Morgana Cape
Higher IP Opponents	Be careful about direct trades and consider disengaging
Lower IP Opponents	Use your mobility and crowd control to maintain pressure

Against Melee Brawlers

Against melee opponents, Electric Field becomes particularly valuable.

Since they need to stay close to deal damage, we can get more value from its repeated damage.

However, don't assume that means every melee matchup is easy.

Some builds have significantly better sustain or burst damage than Quarterstaff.

Try to use Cartwheel when they're committing to an attack.

If you take damage during the dash, you'll receive additional resistance afterward.

You can also use Vault Leap to avoid dangerous burst.

And if they activate a powerful offensive ability, you might want to use Stun Run defensively instead of continuing to trade damage.

Against Ranged Kiters

Against ranged opponents, the biggest challenge is staying close enough to deal damage.

We have excellent mobility, but you still need to use it properly.

For example, you can approach with Cartwheel.

If they activate their boots, respond with Stun Run or Refreshing Sprint.

Once they're closer, you can use Vault Leap to catch them and start attacking.

However, don't activate Electric Field while your opponent is still far away.

You want to make sure they're close enough that you can get value from its damage.

Against Burst Builds

Against weapons with dangerous burst combinations, Vault Leap is extremely useful.

The damage immunity during your leap allows you to avoid incoming damage if you time it correctly.

However, experienced opponents might recognize what you're doing and wait until you land.

That's why you shouldn't use Vault Leap randomly.

Try to understand which ability deals most of their damage.

Then save your E for that moment when possible.

Cartwheel can also help by providing additional damage resistance if you're hit during the dash.

Against Damage Reflection

Be particularly careful against damage reflection.

Since this build relies on repeated normal attacks and Electric Field, attacking into reflection can become very dangerous.

For example, if your opponent activates Hunter Hood with Retaliate, you might end up taking considerable reflected damage.

You can use Cartwheel or Stun Run to create distance until their reflection expires.

Don't continue attacking simply because Morgana Cape is active.

Sometimes stopping your damage for a few seconds is the correct decision.

Against Healing Builds

Healing builds can be difficult because Quarterstaff doesn't have any healing reduction in the default setup.

You can deal a lot of damage with Electric Field and your normal attacks, but some opponents might recover most of it.

Try to get as much value as possible from your Morgana Cape damage window.

You can also use Stun Run to interrupt important healing casts when possible.

However, if your opponent is consistently recovering more Health than you're dealing, don't force the fight.

This build is much better at taking favorable engagements than winning every prolonged brawl.

Against Highly Mobile Builds

These matchups are all about managing your movement abilities.

Even though Quarterstaff has excellent mobility, you can still struggle against someone who repeatedly dashes away.

Try to make them use their movement first.

Then respond with Cartwheel, Stun Run, or Refreshing Sprint.

If you're confident they'll stay close afterward, you can commit Vault Leap and activate Morgana Cape.

But if they're still holding several escapes, using E might waste your best damage opportunity.

6. PvE and Mists Roaming Tips

Quarterstaff is also capable of clearing solo PvE.

You have area damage from Cartwheel and Vault Leap, while Electric Field makes clearing groups considerably easier.

However, this particular setup is mainly designed around PvP.

That's why some alternative abilities can be better when you want to focus on clearing mobs.

Clearing Groups of Mobs

Here's how I recommend approaching regular mob packs.

Step	What to Do	Why
1	Group several mobs together	Maximize area damage
2	Use Cartwheel	Damage enemies and reposition
3	Activate Electric Field	Deal repeated damage to nearby mobs
4	Use Vault Leap when necessary	Deal area damage and activate Morgana Cape
5	Continue normal attacking	Benefit from attack speed and Life Leech
6	Use Energizing Shield	Recover Energy and absorb damage

You don't need to use Vault Leap against every weak mob.

Sometimes Electric Field and Cartwheel are enough.

And since Morgana Cape has a long cooldown, you might want to keep it available if you're expecting PvP.

Alternative Q Abilities for PvE

Cartwheel is excellent for mobility, but it's not necessarily the fastest Q for every PvE situation.

You can consider switching depending on what you're fighting.

Q Ability	Best Use
Cartwheel	Default roaming, PvP, and mobility
Whirling Strikes	Area damage against grouped mobs
Concussive Combo	Direct damage and an additional stun

Whirling Strikes

Whirling Strikes deals repeated area damage around your character while channeling.

It can be useful against groups of mobs because you're able to damage several enemies at once.

However, you're giving up Cartwheel's mobility.

For general Mists roaming, I recommend keeping Cartwheel selected.

But if you're mainly clearing mobs and don't expect to fight another player immediately, Whirling Strikes can be a good option.

Concussive Combo

Concussive Combo is another option that gives you direct damage and a stun.

It can be useful against single targets or when you want more crowd control.

However, it doesn't provide the same mobility as Cartwheel.

And for this particular build, mobility is one of our biggest advantages.

That's why I would keep Cartwheel for most PvP situations.

Alternative W Abilities

There are also a few W abilities worth considering.

W Ability	Best Use
Stun Run	Default chasing, movement, and stun
Gale Dance	Additional damage and auto attack bonuses
Forceful Swing	Damage reduction and disruption against aggressive opponents
Separator	Rooting a target and knocking other enemies away

Gale Dance

Gale Dance is a more aggressive option.

It allows you to attack several times in a targeted direction.

If you hit an enemy with all three attacks, you gain additional movement speed and normal attack damage.

This can be useful when you want more damage instead of the stun from Stun Run.

However, getting all three hits against a mobile opponent can be difficult.

And you're giving up one of your most reliable chasing abilities.

Personally, I'd keep Stun Run for general roaming.

Forceful Swing

Forceful Swing is another useful option against certain melee opponents.

It knocks enemies away and reduces the damage they deal.

It also disrupts normal attack pressure, making it useful against auto attack focused builds.

However, you're losing the mobility and stun from Stun Run.

I'd mainly consider Forceful Swing for specific matchups rather than using it as my default.

Don't Waste All Your Cooldowns on Mobs

Since we're playing in the Mists, we always need to consider other players.

For example, if Cartwheel, Vault Leap, Stun Run, and Refreshing Sprint are all unavailable when another player approaches, escaping becomes much harder.

Try to keep at least one movement ability available whenever possible.

And if another player approaches while you're clearing a camp, inspect their equipment before committing to a fight.

There's no reason to fight someone who's considerably stronger than you just because they're nearby.

Playing With an Item Power Advantage

This is one of the most important things about this particular build.

Quarterstaff becomes especially dangerous when your damage and defensive stats are higher than your opponent's.

You can stay close, deal damage with Electric Field, and survive enough of their counterattack to keep pressuring them.

However, against someone with equal or higher Item Power, the fight can be very different.

Some dedicated brawling builds might deal more damage or recover more Health than you.

And if they know how to counter your crowd control, your mobility advantage might not be enough.

Don't confuse having excellent mobility with automatically winning every fight.

Use that mobility to find favorable opportunities.

7. Common Beginner Mistakes

Mistake	What You Should Do Instead
Using Cartwheel constantly without a reason	Save Energy and use it for meaningful movement or defense
Forgetting Cartwheel's resistance bonus	Try to time it around incoming damage
Using Stun Run and immediately wasting the stun	Decide whether you need the movement or crowd control
Activating Vault Leap too early	Force enemy mobility first whenever possible
Forgetting Morgana Cape	Take advantage of the attack speed bonus after E
Expecting Morgana Cape on every E	Check whether your cape is off cooldown
Using Electric Field too far away	Get close before activating it
Knocking enemies out of Electric Field	Pay attention to Cartwheel's direction
Ignoring normal attacks	Use them to benefit from Morgana Cape and Life Leech
Forgetting Energizing Shield	Recover Energy before it becomes a problem
Using every mobility ability at once	Save something for chasing or escaping
Attacking into damage reflection	Stop attacking until the reflection ends
Taking unfavorable IP fights	Use your mobility to choose better engagements
Depending entirely on Life Leech	Use Healing Potions and avoid unnecessary damage

8. Final Tips

Don't spam Cartwheel without a reason. Its mobility is excellent, but the increased Energy cost means you need to pay attention to your resources.

Use Cartwheel defensively when necessary. Taking damage during the dash gives you additional resistance afterward.

Make your Stun Run count. You can use it to chase or escape, but your empowered normal attack is also an important crowd control tool.

Time Vault Leap properly. Its damage and crowd control immunity make it useful offensively, while its temporary damage immunity can save you against dangerous burst.

Take advantage of Morgana Cape. The attack speed bonus after using E is one of the most important parts of your damage.

Keep attacking when it's safe. Normal attacks aren't just additional damage. They also provide healing through Life Leech.

Use Electric Field when you can stay close. If your opponent immediately escapes, you'll lose most of its damage.

Don't knock enemies away unnecessarily. Cartwheel's knockback can work against you if you're trying to keep someone inside Electric Field.

Use Energizing Shield properly. Quarterstaff can consume quite a bit of Energy during longer fights, especially after the Cartwheel nerf.

Carry Healing Potions. Life Leech is useful, but it isn't enough to sustain every fight on its own.

Don't use all your mobility to engage. Keep at least one ability available in case you need to chase or escape.

Remember that this is an Item Power advantage setup. It can be extremely strong against lower IP players, but you're not going to win every fair 1v1 simply because you're using Quarterstaff.

Overall, Quarterstaff is a really fun weapon for solo Mists if you enjoy playing aggressively while still having enough mobility to control your engagements.

You have excellent crowd control, several ways to reposition, and good damage when you combine Morgana Cape with Electric Field and normal attacks.

However, the build becomes considerably stronger when you have an Item Power advantage.

The biggest thing you need to learn is when to commit Vault Leap, how to manage your mobility, and how to keep your opponent close enough to benefit from Morgana Cape and Electric Field.

Once you get comfortable with those mechanics, Quarterstaff can be an excellent weapon for aggressive solo Mists roaming.
