###  Forced Cudgel Reset by Giatore
The attribute combo mentioned in the apparition description is just the consumption of one the 3 orbs, this is just **using the apparition passive attribute attack to reset cudgel**
Against a dummy / culvert it basically boils down to **using heaven** **when it's the only orb left** so you're not waiting for apparition to proc again for cudgel reset
In bosses, cudgel is a fair bit more valuable so **filling the orbs on purpose** may be more valuable than using earth wave blindly.
If you consume the blue orb before the other two there's a good chance it'll mess up and you'll be worse off than before, try to only use heaven when it's the last one left.

### Final Damage Bonus from Element Switching
Hoyoung gains a **5% Final Damage (FD) bonus** when switching between different elemental skills due to the 3rd job  **Scroll Energy (Passive)** effect:
* **Using a skill with a different attribute than the previous one grants a 5% FD boost.**
* **Alternating Heaven, Earth, and Humanity skills ensures maximum FD uptime.**
* **Maintaining a structured combo cycle optimizes damage.**
