Variants
- A mix of
白银内衬 and 
共生协调 is also worth considering. This version focuses more on Morph skills and less on Evolve.
Equipment
Equipment Variants
Relics
- Take
巴瓦·尼索斯古物 if you're having a hard time dealing with conditions, or if you want to take 
硬化镀铬 on Amalgam. This way you get to keep the cleansing from the other trait while also becoming more tanky thanks to the 
保护.
Runes
超级巴萨泽符文 with Malign WvW Infusions is also a viable route to take, focusing more on condition damage rather than power.
Stats
- You could still play full Celestial Celestial, it makes the build more forgiving, but it also trades a lot of offensive stats for defensive ones you already have enough of.
Consumables
Food
-
碗装欧尔松露鲜肉煲 - defensive option with 
爆破进击, 
河流古物 and 
热能释阀 synergy.
碗装鲜肉冬菜煲 - budget version.
-
黑胡椒调味牡蛎汤球 - defensive ascended choice with passive damage mitigation while also providing a decent amount of offensive stats.
Utility
Usage
Amalgam basics
-
Engineers with the Amalgam Amalgam elite specialization lose access to most of their regular toolbelt skills. Amalgam toolbelt skills are fully customizeable with their own set of skills, acting like a second utility bar.
- Your healing skill is exempt from this rule, as it retains its regular toolbelt skill.
- The elite toolbelt slot is always
进化, but you get to customize this skill through traits.
-
Much of the specialization revolves around
进化. Your selection of toolbelt skills directly impacts Evolve, as Evolve gains bonuses on activation based on what toolbelt skills you're running.
General
- 进化 is always useful as it can be used for both defense and offense. On this build Evolve grants a passive stat boost,
敏捷 for CD recovery, 
急速 for faster casts, 
抗性 to help you ignore conditons that'd lower your damage like 
目盲 and 
虚弱 or ones that'd hinder your escape like Chill Chill and Immobilize Immobilize, and barrier for general tankiness.
- Evolve has 2 charges.
Damage
-
进攻协议：粉碎 and 
电气炮轰 apply Immobilize Immobilize which you can use to root people into your harder hitting skills like 
毁天灭地. -
Spear has a central mechanic called focus. Focused targets are more heavily affected by your Spear skills.
-
You make someone your focus target by hitting them with
管流激增. Using this as your opener is therefore recommended. -
Skill #3
闪电矛杖 should be activated as soon as you use Conduit Surge. It's an instant skill that does damage passively around you and being charging up its chain skill.- Charging it up turns this skill into 电气炮轰, a long range strike with Immobilize Immobilize, making it great at setting up burst.
- Charging it up turns this skill into
-
连绵起伏 is primarily a setup skill too as it's a CC with not much else to it. -
毁天灭地 is your primary burst skill on Spear. Try to land it on focused targets, preferably when they're CC'd so it doesn't miss.
-
Spam grenades when your Spear skill are on CC or if getting into melee would be too dangerous. Fill any downtime with grande spam, even if it's just the autoattack.
-
手雷包 skills ranked from most to least threatening:
破片手雷. Simple fire and forget skill with great damage.
毒气手雷 and 
冰冻手雷. Poison Grenade does more damage over time and it's unblockable, which is important because you can even use it to score healing reduction on skills like Revenant's 
水晶休眠, but Freeze Grenade does more damage upfront so it's better for bursts.
闪光手雷 barely does any damage and is mostly a defensive tool that 目盲s enemies, but it's still good for condi variety and proccing traits too.
-
Even your healing skill is a minor source of burst damage in melee range:
分裂状态 a lesser 
手雷弹幕 around you from trait. This is quite useful for counterpressuring targets, sometimes even turning the tides against the one chasing you. Be warned though that the grenade proc could also end up accidentally breaking your 
潜行 when you heal next to an enemy, which could actually endanger you on low health. While the build doesn't have stealth access by default, you could still get it from allies and combo fields, so it's worth keeping in mind.
Sustain
-
Every stance skill cleanses 1 condition,
进化 cleanses 2. -
气体状态 removes all movement-impairing conditions and makes you immune to them for a few seconds. If you're under heavy condition pressure it might be worth opening with this skill - doing so increases the chance of you removing damaging conditions with your other skills.- This is one of your stunbreaks so there's a risk attached to using it for cleansing alone, but as long as you have your other stun break ready, it should be fine.
-
Coincidentally your other stunbreak
防护协议：净化 is also a source of condi removal and can be used in a similar fashion. DP:C removes both damaging and non-damaging conditions. -
Every toolbelt skills grants barrier, which is useful against any form of pressure.
-
Your healing skill
分裂状态 heals you over time, and this healing can be increased by maintaining barrier on yourself. Combining it with toolbelt skills is highly recommended. Some of these skills are instant so you can apply barrier whenever you want. -
One of these instant defensive skills is the toolbelt of your heal,
共生护盾. The best part about this however is the 
电击光环 application - you can grant yourself this aura even while stunned, which in turn stuns attackers. -
液体状态 can be used for evasion and 
防护协议：保护 to save endurance or if you can't dodge.- Both of these skills can be used while immobilized.
