Tactical Information

Sticky Gourd becomes very useful when Dry Kindling is traited, as it tiers up Burning Embers on a group of enemies, and unlike Gust of Wind, can apply the initial stack of the bleed. This skill should be used as much as possible, and is best used right after a cash-out ability like Lightning Strike or Lightning Storm.
