Usage

• This build is for ganking and bursting. It is also capable of 1v1ing lower level, glass or slow enemies.

Full Burst

• Overcharged Shot > Throw Wrench > Surprise Shot > Blunderbuss > Net Shot > Magnet > Pry Bar > Smack

• No CC burst: Throw Wrench > Surprise Shot > Glob Shot > Blunderbuss > Pry Bar > Endothermic Shell

Timing these bursts reqiures knowledge and tracking of the targets resources. With time and practice it becomes easier to land the full sequence on players.

Moblity

• Make use of Streamlined Kits Superspeed and Reverse Acid Bomb but most importantly always cover your tracks with Box of Nails & Endothermic Shell to keep distance.
• Jump Shot - If stuck in a CC chain remember that this skill now has a frame 1 bufferable dodge. Can take you out of dangerous situations quickly.

Defence

• Flash Shell - Good when fighting in melee range. Very good VS skills bursts like Rampage
• Gear Shield
• Super Elixir + Elixir Shell - 'Second Heal' ~ 4000hp, Very useful when you find spots to stand still in.

Extra Techniques

• Fumigate - Hits through walls and projectile blocks while triggering Explosive Entrance
• Orbital Strike & Rifle Turret - Use these 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.
