Usage

• This build is for taking 1v1s and roaming around the map, helping allies. This build only uses Smoke Bomb (engineer) to keep itself alive so avoid attracting the team focus.

How to Play

Use Smoke Bomb (engineer) to Stealth using skills: Conduit Surge & Devastator.

Keep your distance using Grenade Kit to deal extra damage close the gap with your target using Conduit Surge, Devastator & Shift Signet. Get to pumping extra damage through the use of Fire Bomb and Concussion Bomb and your Mech. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use Grenade Kit to keep applying pressure from range again. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.

Burst

Your full burst would be:

• Rolling Smash + Explosive Entrance + Electric Artillery -> Conduit Surge -> Sky Circus -> Devastator -> Fire Bomb -> Shrapnel Grenade -> Roiling Skies -> Poison Grenade -> Freeze Grenade -> Concussion Bomb -> Glue Bomb

Mix and match that burst as you see fit.

Extra

• Sky Circus is a 5 second launch.

• Roiling Skies with focus is a 3 second launch.

• Overclock Signet(Jade Buster Cannon) can be used for an unblockable 10k burn, but make sure you don't use it when the mech is at risk of dying as you need the Overclock Signet cooldown to respawn the mech.

• Overclock Signet(Crash Down) does 4x damage than the regular Crash Down. However it has 2 seconds of delay and casts on a random target within ~600 range. It also stunbreaks, this almost makes up for the fact that mechanist lost 3 core engi stunbreaks. :)
