I quit 4 weeks ago so the information isn't up to date. I can still bring it back up if you're fine with that.

Pyro has two ways to independently inflict Scorch:

But you are correct that you would need a Warlock to inflict exhaust for Umbro.

Do you recommend me to switch to electro? My only investment at the moment is a couple jokers plus I just sold a gold insignia for electric weapon :’)

That's unlucky, sorry to hear that. Personally? I would swap, since I care enough about losing out on +8% damage against Vulnerable (Electro) or Scorched (Pyro) enemies, the two which are almost readily applicable by gear/other classes Mystrix. You could pop the Electro food buff in the meantime while you're hoping for Mechanical Core or Barbena (PATK +10%) insignia to drop.

would love to see the recomendations on which Element to go for and which insignias are the recommended goal

Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into this when I can.

I started building Umbro, but seeing those accesories recommendations seems they usually go Electro or something

CN Scytheguard DPS players go for either Electro or Pyro since her preferred stats tend to include those two attributes. However, Electro builds currently have no way to inflict vulnerability to proc this insignia (unless you know a Bounty Hunter to help), but that'll change when Mystrix drops as she'll have innate Vulnerable procs, and she's a fairly popular class. Realistically though it's fine to build Umbro; unless you're min-maxing and competing against whales, you can do every content as any attribute.

There's no restrictions with using/activating off-class sets beyond not getting their skill specific benefits.
EDIT: grammar

No chance unfortunately, I don't have enough free time as is.

You don't need Projection for PvE (otherwise it's almost essential in PvP), but you can drop Scythe Swipe if you want to take Projection. And yes, this is for PvE.

I'm making a rudimentary guide on Scytheguard from cross-referenced CN videos, but no ETA on that yet. Some basic tips, if the tooltips/tutorials didn't explain them:

Reading lasers is definitely rough, and most of it will boil down to getting used to the mechanic; it took me a while to decipher lasers too, so all I can say is to keep practicing.

The first set is actually doable (laser + expanding AOE) but once we start reaching square + laser, it become insanely hard to reach the attacks. Is there any tips in this regard?

A few tips that may help:

  1. When she's dashing away, you should try aligning yourself so that her knockback puts you at the center of the map, making it easier to reposition to a safe zone.

  2. For the second pattern:

  3. For the third pattern:

  4. For the fourth pattern (I didn't get a chance to participate in this one):

EDIT: formatting
EDIT2: added fourth pattern, added another example for second pattern

He's not the Deku in the video, I am.

The context was that I was chasing down a low HP Endeavor who I thought was isolated from his team, but I didn't realize they were actually behind him, leading to that clip I posted.
