Ranged Enemies: Aim your staff at the blue guys and collect stacks. If you have to fire through a wall of enemies to do so, even better. Take your time to line up a headshot. You get 3 stacks for one of those, so on a good run you'll do it on 5 enemies.
Too close for comfort: Run fast, stab and dodge like a maniac. Try and get behind the more dangerous foes. Stand in your shield ideally.
Gunners/Snipers: Shield or line of sight.
High Peril, Full Toughness: Switch to knife while it resets and slice slice slice. I rarely heavy attack with it.
High Peril, Low Toughness: Quell to get toughness back while moving to safety. It's saved me more times than I care to admit.
Other Tips: You can stagger enemies with your Left Click/Primary Button staff attack so you can move in for a knife kill.
As much as I love Warp Siphon I really can't be bothered monitoring my stacks and when to use shield. The fact enemies glow blue basically give you a heads-up before your team mates even know they exist so you can charge shot take the kill and get a stack or 3. I find with Warp Siphon I tend to focus more on finding specials before others and compete for kills. At least with this build you don't need to worry so much if you lose stacks or what have you. Players tend not to focus on the bad guys who glow blue on your screen so it's much more chill.
If you've played zealot or veteran with a knife you'll adapt to this easily. Then again, it's not difficult but I recommend having dodge and jump on separate buttons. If you're on Xbox try using back button dodger as that's what I do.
Brain burst is never used and we only rely on the passive.
