| |
| − | ====Surviving====
| |
| − | * This build has high passive defense
| |
| − | * This build has high mobility skill access
| |
| − | ** {{Skill|Rocket Charge}} will leap towards your target if you have one, make sure to drop your target when using it for mobility
| |
| − | ** An '''About Face''' keybind can be useful for quickly using {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} for mobility
| |
| − | * This builds has high active defenses
| |
| − | ** {{Skill|Healing Mist}} is your only stunbreak, try to be conservative with it
| |
| − | ** If an ally in your party is downed, do '''not''' cast {{Skill|Bulwark Gyro}}
| |
| − | *** To a lesser extent, be careful casting if your party is stuck in a spike or generally taking heavy damage
| |
| − | ** Only use {{Skill|Sneak Gyro}} to survive if desperate, it is much better saved for your group
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Active defense priority}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Healing Mist}} - for stunbreaking
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Purge Gyro}} - for {{Tooltip|Immobilize}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Cleansing Field}} - for {{Tooltip|Immobilize}}
| |
| − | * '''Dodge'''
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Shock Shield}}
| |

| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bandage Self}}

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Detailed Explanations===
| |
| − | ====Stability====
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Defense Field}} for ranged engages as the first applied {{Tooltip|Stability}} source
| |
| − | * After ranged engages are done, use it to cover downtime from the firebrand's {{Skill|"Stand Your Ground!"}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Condition clear====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Fumigate}} and {{Skill|Cleansing Field}} are much more situational compared to {{Skill|Purge Gyro}}, deprioritize them in situations where {{Skill|Purge Gyro}} would be more effective
| |
| − | * Move slightly behind your group when casting {{Skill|Fumigate}} to maximize hits
| |
| − | * Be aware that {{Skill|Fumigate}} does not cleanse yourself
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Cleansing Field}} should be dropped when clashing with the opponent or preemptively before an enemy spike
| |
| − | * Use your '''Weapon Swap''' key immediately after casting {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} to cancel the leap backwards
| |
| − | * Your own fields have priority for combo finishers, {{Skill|Super Elixir}} and {{Skill|Purge Gyro}} can provide a light field for combo interactions
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Condition clear priority}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Fumigate}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Cleansing Field}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Purge Gyro}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Super Elixir}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Acid Bomb}}/{{Skill|Infusion Bomb}} - (light field, blast finisher)
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bandage Self}} - {{Trait|Cleansing Synergy}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Electro-whirl}} - (light field, whirl finisher)
| |
| − | {{Collapse end}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Healing====
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Vital Burst}} and {{Skill|Bandage Self}} both proc {{Trait|Medical Dispersion Field}} even if you are at full HP
| |
| − | * Move slightly behind your group when casting {{Skill|Med Blaster}} to maximize hits
| |
| − | ** The range on {{Skill|Med Blaster}} is much higher than the animation indicates
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Bandage Blast}} next to downed allies when safe, hitting with all projectiles provides a lot of rez
| |
| − | * Your own fields have priority for combo finishers, {{Skill|Cleansing Field}} can provide a water field for combo interactions
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Healing priority}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Vital Burst}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bandage Blast}} - in melee range, hard to use
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Med Blaster}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bandage Self}} - {{Trait|Medical Dispersion Field}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Super Elixir}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Acid Bomb}}/{{Skill|Infusion Bomb}} - (water field, blast finisher)
| |
| − | {{Collapse end}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Superspeed====
| |
| − | * Most of your {{Tooltip|Superspeed}} will be generated passively while using your skills for healing and cleansing
| |
| − | * If your group is lacking {{Tooltip|Superspeed}} before a push {{Skill|Bandage Self}} is the most effective way to apply it
| |
| − |
| |
| − | {{Collapse start|Superspeed priority}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bandage Self}} - {{Trait|Speed of Synergy}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Function Gyro}} - {{Trait|Gyroscopic Acceleration}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Bulwark Gyro}} - only when safe
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Purge Gyro}}
| |
| − | * {{Skill|Sneak Gyro}}
| |
| − | {{Collapse end}}
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − | ====Supporting isolated allies====
| |
| − | * Do not try to support isolated players if your group is under pressure or it would get you killed
| |
| − | * {{Tooltip|Superspeed}} is your first priority for getting players back to your group
| |
| − | ** Use {{Skill|Function Gyro}} if available to apply it from range
| |
| − | ** If {{Skill|Function Gyro}} is unavailable, move to the isolated player(s) and using {{Skill|Bandage Self}} is the other viable option
| |
| − | * Move to isolated player(s) and use {{Skill|Sneak Gyro}} to give {{Tooltip|Stealth}}, but be aware that you will need to blast other scrappers fields if your group is coordinating {{Skill|Sneak Gyro}} usage
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Thunderclap====
| |
| − | * Use your CC when:
| |
| − | ** Your group calls a spike:
| |
| − | *** Winds - {{Skill|Winds of Disenchantment}}
| |
| − | *** Wells - {{Skill|Well of Corruption}}+{{Skill|Well of Suffering}}
| |
| − | *** Shades - {{Skill|Desert Shroud}}
| |
| − | *** Traps - {{Skill|Procession of Blades}}+{{Skill|Test of Faith}}
| |
| − | ** On top of enemy downs (while alive players are on top of them)
| |
| − | ** Enemy groups moving defensively while your group is pushing
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Poisoning downs====
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Chemical Field}} when you can safely approach melee range with downs
| |
| − | * Use {{Skill|Fumigate}} only if your group is taking no pressure and you have other cleanse cooldowns avalible
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Tips & Tricks===
| |
| − | ====Smoke Blasting====
| |
| − | * Scrapper can blast up to 6 times on a single smoke field, usually 3 is enough
| |
| − | ** 6 smoke blasts is enough to fully stack stealth on a party with one extra blast to refresh the duration lost during blasting. More than 6 blasts per party adds nothing, so coordinate blasts with your party.
| |
| − | * There are many ways to do three blasts, an easy recommended combination is: {{Skill|Big Ol' Bomb}} + {{Skill|Infusion Bomb}} + '''Magnetic Shield''' {{to}} {{Skill|Magnetic Inversion}}
| |
| − | * To get more include any of the following: {{Skill|Rumble}}, {{Skill|Thump}}, {{Skill|Throw Mine}}, {{Skill|Acid Bomb}}, {{Skill|Blast Gyro}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Revealing====
| |
| − | * Up to 5 different templates can be used for revealing, of these 1, 2 and 5 are the most essential
| |
| − | # Blasting Template
| |
| − | # {{Skill|Rocket Boots}} + {{Skill|Elixir S}} + {{Skill|Utility Goggles}}
| |
| − | # {{Skill|Purge Gyro}} + {{Skill|Elixir S}} + {{Skill|Utility Goggles}} - swap immediately after casting {{Skill|Rocket Boots}}
| |
| − | # {{Skill|Purge Gyro}} + {{Skill|Elixir S}} + {{Skill|Elixir Gun}} - swap immediately after casting {{Skill|Detection Pulse}}
| |
| − | # Normal build - swap once safely back on group
| |
| − | * Use a rifle for {{Skill|Jump Shot}} and {{Skill|Rocket Boots}} to quickly cover distance
| |
| − | ** Make sure to swap back to normal weapon after casting {{Skill|Jump Shot}}
| |
| − | * All build templates need to keep the exact same traits or {{Tooltip|Stealth}} will be removed on swapping template
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Settings===
| |
| − | * Under '''General Options / User Interface''' check '''Always show squad health bars''' and '''Always show party health bars'''. These will make it much easier to keep track of who needs your support.
| |
| − | * Also under '''General Options / User Interface''' turn on '''Thick party health bars'''
| |
| − | ** '''Thick squad health bars''' can be used too as a matter of personal preference, but is not recommended for large numbers
| |
| − | * Under '''Squad Options''' uncheck '''View as a grid'''. This will allow you to keep track of your allies' boons, conditions and health, enabling a better decision-making and skill management.
