Burst

Without proper understanding of the burst you will stuggle to make big impacts in games.

Spacing is the MOST important part. Start the burst between 600-850 range away. This is so Throw Wrench lands x2 ASAP. As you cast the burst close the gap. This is so that Blunderbuss does the most damage & you end up close enough to finish with Pry Bar. When needed you can begin the burst with any single shot from Elite Mortar Kit

Full Burst

  • Start between 600-850 range: Function Gyro(To self) > Overcharged Shot > Throw Wrench >Glob Shot - Surprise Shot > Blunderbuss > Net Shot > Pry Bar > Smack/Acid Bomb

Quick Burst

Somtimes its best not to CC during the burst.

  • Quick No-CC burst: Net Shot > Throw Wrench > Glob Shot > Surprise Shot > Blunderbuss > Pry Bar > Mortar Shot

It's highly recommended you practice these on golems before & between your games. This is the fastest way to grasp how the build & spacing works. Combat Training Waypoint - [&BEoFAAA=]

Moblity

  • Superspeed Superspeed - This build can cycle CDs to get up to 40 seconds of Superspeed Superspeed straight. Make use of that.
  • Streamlined Kits Gives abit of superspeed superspeed but also has Glue Trail. Will make it impossible to follow you on narrow paths. Even with Resistance Resistance they can stack up to 10s of Immobilize Immobilize
  • Jump Shot - If stuck in a CC chain remember that this skill now has an instant bufferable dodge. Can take you out of dangerous situations very quickly.
  • Acid Bomb - Unblockable serves as a "Get-Off-Me" and a mobility option
  • Box of Nails & Endothermic Shell - Applying pulsing Cripple Cripple & Chill Chill can make a huge difference. Always cover your tracks with these skills to maintain distance when chased. Very effective while kiting.

Defense

  • Flash Shell - Good when fighting in melee range. Very good VS skills bursts like Rampage
  • Gear Shield
  • Super Elixir + Elixir Shell - Acts as a second heal and a way to resustain before re-entering fights. Heals for 4144hp total. Spam Super Elixir throughout the fight.

Extra Techniques

  • Fumigate - Hits through walls and projectile blocks while triggering Explosive Entrance
  • Rifle Turret - Use this skills for it's BLAST finisher over damage. It can be used to AOE provide Heal, Weakness, Cleanse, Chaos Aura & Frost Aura
  • Poison Gas Shell, Fumigate, Acid Bomb & Drop Gunk - Are good for covering downed bodies.
