===How to Play===
 
  
−
Use {{Skill|Smoke Bomb (engineer)}} to {{tooltip|Stealth}} using skills: {{Skill|Conduit Surge}} & {{Skill|Devastator}}.
 
  
−
Keep your distance using {{Skill|Grenade Kit}} to deal extra damage close the gap with your target using {{Skill|Conduit Surge}}, {{Skill|Devastator}} & {{Skill|Shift Signet}}. Get to pumping extra damage through the use of {{Skill|Fire Bomb}} and {{Skill|Concussion Bomb}} and your Mech. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use {{Skill|Grenade Kit}} to keep applying pressure from range again. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.
