+* This build is for roaming, taking 1v1s and can even hold outnumbers while kiting. Use your various CCs to pin and burst down your opponenets.
 ===How to Play===
-Close the gap with your target using {{Skill|Conduit Surge}}, {{Skill|Devastator}}, {{Skill|Acid Bomb}}, {{Skill|Shift Signet}} & {{Skill|Magnet}}. Get big damage using {{tooltip|Spear}}, {{Skill|Tool Kit}} & {{Skill|Explosive Knuckle}} skills. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use {{Skill|Elixir Gun}} to keep applying pressure from range. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.
+Coming soon.
-Try not to use the attack on {{Skill|Overclock Signet}} and save it for when {{Skill|Crash Down}} has been put on cooldown. Do this to instantly respawn your mech.
-When using {{Skill|Glob Shot}} next to your mech, it will bounce between you two then return to your target, doing double the damage total.
-Use the {{Skill|Tool Kit}} autoattack {{Skill|Smack}} since it's much stronger than the {{tooltip|Spear}} autoattack {{Skill|Puncturing Jab}}.
-===Burst===
-Since it is an instant cast you can start any burst with {{Skill|Crash Down}}. Does more damage when using {{Skill|Overclock Signet}}.
-''Full burst''
-* {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} + {{Skill|Electric Artillery}} > {{Skill|Devastator}} > {{Skill|Explosive Knuckle}} > {{Skill|Conduit Surge}} > {{Skill|Pry Bar}}
-''Alternative''
-* {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} + {{Skill|Electric Artillery}} > {{Skill|Conduit Surge}} > {{Skill|Explosive Knuckle}} > {{Skill|Devastator}}
-====Moblity====
-* {{Skill|Conduit Surge}} - Your basic short CD leap option.
-* {{Skill|Devastator}} - Can canceled the aftercast early by using {{Skill|Elixir Gun}}/{{Skill|Tool Kit}} and {{tooltip|Weapon Swap}} canceling.
-* {{Skill|Shift Signet}} - Use this to instantly escape dangerous situtations.
-* {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} - Unblockable serves as a "Get-Off-Me" and a mobility option.
-* {{Skill|Box of Nails}} - Applying pulsing {{tooltip|Cripple}} can make a huge difference. Always cover your tracks with these skills to maintain distance when chased. Very effective while kiting.
-====Defense====
-This build is low on cleanse but has alternative options to make up for that.
-* {{Skill|Shift Signet}} - Use this to instantly escape dangerous situtations.
-* {{Skill|Super Elixir}} - Can be used for minor healing throughout the fight. A way to resustain before re-entering fights.
-* {{Skill|Gear Shield}}
-* {{Skill|Explosive Knuckle}} - {{tooltip|Weakness}} application on a low CD. Easy to use to reduce enemy bursts.
-* {{Skill|Crisis Zone}} - {{tooltip|Stability}} & {{tooltip|Protection}}, can be used before bursts.
-====Extra Techniques====
-* {{Skill|Fumigate}} - Hits through walls and projectile blocks while triggering {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}}
-* {{Skill|Overclock Signet}} has a few very fun quirks when using it to cast {{Skill|Crash Down}}: It will interrupt any move you're casting. This includes stuns/CC making it an effective 3rd stunbreak. On top of that the {{Skill|Crash Down}} will cast on any random target ~600 radius around you. If you manage to cast this in a 1v1 situation with no other NPCs around it will hit for PvE scaling, this hits for ~{{Skill|Pry Bar}} damage. Very fun and strong way to start a burst if you use a CC to confirm the hit. Alot more fair for damage on a 90 second CD elite at least compared to Jade Buster Cannon damage.
-* {{Skill|Conduit Surge}}/{{Skill|Devastator}} - Can jump-cast this skill while kiting to make long jumps. Jumps that dodge jumping can't.
