Heal

The choice of heal skill is very open. We recommend Med Kit as it provides an additional Blast finisher with Infusion Bomb to generate more Quickness, condition cleanse and water field with Cleansing Field, and good healing with the toolbelt skill Bandage Self (Bandage Self counts as "using your heal skill" for all purposes such as Speed of Synergy). Other options can be considered:

• Healing Turret provides very high healing and cleanses 2 conditions when first deployed, while creating a water field where you can detonate the turret to provide even more healing (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields). Always pick up the turret or detonate it, as it will provide more healing over time than the super weak regeneration that leaving the turret deployed provides.
• A.E.D. - helpful to negate a big attack or a oneshot, and has a helpful 2 second stun on the toolbelt skill Static Shock. This skill requires a bit more skill to use, as it only provides large healing if you were to take lethal damage.
• Medic Gyro - simple option that provides a water field.

Utility

Throw Mine has great damage and crowd control, plus a blast finisher to help provide Quickness, never replace it. Blast Gyro has good damage but, most importantly, creates a fire fied and a blast finisher which helps provide Quickness and some Might. Grenade Kit provides great damage through the kit and its toolbelt skill. You can replace Grenade Kit if you don't like it.

• Purge Gyro - For condi cleanse
• Rocket Boots - mobility
• Personal Battering Ram - more crowd control
• Elixir C - massive condition removal
• Elixir U - offensive boons

Elite

• Supply Crate - Area CC; can be detonated for blast finishers.
• Sneak Gyro - Long duration mobile stealth field which can be used to avoid mob agro in various situations.

Specializations

Specialization Variants

• Short Fuse - Fury generation when solo
• System Shocker - More barrier, but less mobility and less damage from Object in Motion.
• Adaptive Armor - Sacrifices quickness for more barrier and resilience to condition damage. Generally not worth it, but can be considered when fighting enemies that constantly apply conditions and you run out of condition cleansing options.

Alchemy

This variant provides boon support and extra defense at the cost of damage.

Equipment

Ascended gear is not required. This set uses gear similar to Build:Scrapper_-_Quickness_Support_Power_DPS, making it ideal for general PvE.

Usage

General

• Use leap and blast finishers on combo fields for Quickness generation. See Guide:What are Combo Fields.
  • Your sources of quickness are Rocket Charge and Throw Mine on a combo field such as Blast Gyro or Thunderclap, or fields from nearby allies.
• After generating quickess, use your very high damage Grenade Barrage, Electro-whirl and swap to Grenade Kit for Shrapnel Grenade and Poison Grenade before going back to hammer.
• Never interrupt your hammer auto-attack chain.
• Having superspeed is a dps increase due to Object in Motion, you can grant yourself superspeed via Bypass Coating, Toss Elixir U, Gyroscopic Acceleration, and Speed of Synergy.

Sustain

• You have high amounts of tankyness via your passive barrier generation.
• Shock Shield is both a block and gives you barrier, it can be used to generate barrier and absorb high damage attacks.
• You can quickly call and detonate Supply Crate for regeneration and area healing via the blast finisher.

CC

• Rocket Charge inside a lightning field.
• Thunderclap doubles as both a lightning field and a hard CC option.
• Blast Gyro.
• Supply Crate.
