somehow just as, if not easier to play than condi necro/reaper. Abundant poison stacking from relic of vass, good burn uptime from your spear, reliably strong CC, and great versatilities in your utilities makes this a very safe bet to climb to at least Plat ratings. Need ranged pressure? Grenade kit is here to solve that problem! Wanna cheat with even more poison? Elixir Gun is here to provide just that (with break stun and its skill 4/5 for even more elixir synergies)! Also don't dismiss this build's lack of mobility just because it only has a dash skill (2 if you take Elixir Gun). Spear 2 may not look much, but the low CD makes it readily available in basically every fight, and can allow you to catch up to enemies who don't respect your map presence.
This build is bursty with good condi and utility variety. Great in teamfight and +1 on nodes. Not really a duelist, has easy access to AoE regen, superspeed, and stealth. Swapping between Grenade Kit and spear bursts keeps up the pressure, while Elixir H’s melee damage adds some nice counterplay potential. Very fun build.
Grenades, elixirs, turrets and a lightning spear. Flavorful and fun, skill intensive but rewarding. The hardest part is knowing what abilities to press and when since you have so many buttons, but all of the important boxes for a build are checked and there aren't any crippling weaknesses to note. Unique team utility in stealth and cleanse. Alright mobility, good defensives, great cleansing, a few non-projectile damage options and a huge range of conditions. Can burst pretty hard with Vass stacks or spear 5. Overall a solid build, probably one of the most "fair" meta builds we've had in a while.
Seems like the person that rated this a 1-star just doesn't know how to use this build. Movement is good: it has 2 dash skills, superspeed and 125% move speed. Decent sustain if you burst them then stealth and play around your supply crate/med drop. If the enemy team is focusing you then you have your 2 stun breaks/invulnerability potion, 2 spear dash skills to escape or spear skill 5 for counter pressure (1 sec evade), superspeed, stealth jukes, med pack drop (14 condi cleanse + heals), supply crate (stun + heals + water aura combo field), blind grenade, chill grenade, stun on spear 4, protection (-33% strike dmg), resolution (-33% condi dmg) which buys time for you to condi cleanse, and condi cleanses each time you use any elixir skill. For damage it inflicts 7 different condi types and gets a ton of might stacks so your strike damage hurts too.
Nice to see a core build performing so well, bit tragic to see the engi elite specs performing.. not so well. Love the burst, the sustain isn't that bad either, invuln and stealth can come in clutch.
Currently considered to be the best engi build, not super popular but sees a decent amount of play even at high ratings and tournaments. Great damage, bit mediocre sustain and mobility.
