With my build, you use supernatural speed, which doesnt cost energy, then somersault out back to range, which knocks them down, and provides you distance. supernatural speed provides stacks of the "jocker" effect, and if you wish, you can use "fan defense" to decrease incoming damage, lets say if a mage ice comet was coming towards you.
EVERY SCOUT NEEDS UNITY. doesnt matter if you are in a party or not, because at some point you will be, and if you dont have it you are useless.
