Holosmith - Burn Holo

Burn Holo is a hybrid damage based PvP build for Engineers. This is a fast-paced hybird damage roamer with mixed melee/ranged options. The build makes use of Spear's synergy with 启用光子熔炉 & 喷火器 to create a strong mixed Power & Condi roamer. This build boasts high 潜行 uptime thanks to 烟雾弹.

• This build is for taking 1v1s and bursting.

How to Play

Close the gap with your target using 管流激增, 毁天灭地, & 全息跳跃. Get big damage using a mix of high power and 燃烧 options. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use 精英炮座 to keep applying pressure from range. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap, to widen it.

Kits

While usage of 启用光子熔炉 and Spear are already conventional and much like other classes, usage of kits can be a challange to figure out at times. This is my basic understand of how to use the kit skills in PvP for those who aren't very familiar with how it works. Be sure to remember that you aren't locked out of kits untill you enter photon forge, you don't have to use ALL the cooldowns before swapping out of a kit, instead mix and match skill combos as if it's one big weapon.

Flamethrower:

• 烈焰喷射 - Good for hitting through walls.
• 烈焰爆弹 - This is the best skill on 喷火器 and is made to be spam used. You'll want to use these as you'd use 手雷包, running away and shooting behind you. Due to slow speed projectile has very small range when chasing. You'll basically always want to land the x2 hit, this is easiest to do at melee range. Having the projectile travel though the opponent the skill will do 50% more damage, with 25 威能 this skill alone can do up 10k in 燃烧/power damage.
• 气流爆破 - This is the builds main CC and the fastest. Use it to combo or as a Get-Off-Me option. Applies burn if opponent is already 燃烧 & will reflect projectiles for 1 second.
• 凝固汽油 - Apply as soon as an enemy goes down. Also use to cover caps for extra damage.
• 排放烟雾 - Stunbreaks. Be very careful when entering 启用光子熔炉 as it will lock you out of your 2nd stunbreak for 6 seconds.

Mortar Kit:

• 迫击炮弹 - Can still do moderate damage due to 威能 stacking. Doesn't suffer from dragback unlike other mortar skills therefore has the most range.
• 毒气炮弹 - Condi damage option. Apply to downed bodies. Can be used to apply .
• - Best cover condi option. Easy to
• - spam field, use it at melee range to make you hard to hit.
• - Heal field when spamming blast and leap finishers. Use it when you have enough safety to spare 3-5 seconds to stop moving and heal.

Burst

A couple example bursts would be:

• -> -> -> ->
• -> -> -> ->

Defense

Escape

• is your 2nd stunbreak.
• & - These are your main 2 options to escape pressure. Try to save these skills for avoiding damage.

Mobility

• , & - Use these skills to widen gap in opportune times. To do this you need to get good at detargeting for use of mobility skills.

Regen and Healing

• - This trait actually triggers per stack of , this makes it a very strong regeneration ability. You can even use and other elixirs to do some minor healing when needed.
• - When heal is on cooldown use this skill combined with your multiple leap and blast finishers.

Slowing Chasers

• - The given from this skill is very strong when paired with this build. Since this build lacks covers, a reapplying can make the underneath a lot harder to deal with.

Damage Mitigation

• - Pulses every second. Very hard to attack you in this field on specific classes. Should be used as much as possible.
• - Leap and blast finishers will cause .
• - This skill is actually a projectile reflect for 1 second. Will reflect infront and behind.
