Handy Tips for Mythic Keys
Thanks to the abilities 
Roll, 
Tiger’s Lust, 
Lighter Than Air, and 
Transcendence, you will be very mobile in the dungeon. Use them to gather packs of mobs faster.
The ability Tiger’s Lust removes movement-impairing debuffs from you or your target. Such debuffs usually deal damage or can cause you to take heavy damage from void zones. Try to use this ability to remove such debuffs.
Detox lets you dispel poison and disease effects. Use the ability when such debuffs deal significant damage to you or an allied healer.
Using the ability 
Paralysis lets you bypass groups of monsters if they are not on your route in the dungeon.
