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.
