Overview
Variant of the old Condition Engineer build. Great condi burst and sustained damage as well as having good CC options. Very complicated to play at peak effectiveness, but more than rewards players that can.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
Pistol/Pistol is the best weapon set for players that don't own Janthir Wilds. This also provides better ranged damage.

Equipment
荆棘古物 will be better damage on long encounters where you can regularly take damage from the boss.
阿奇姆古物 is also a strong option if you use 
气流爆破 each time you enter 
喷火器. Its AoE nature makes it superior if there are targets other than the boss around.
Aristocracy Gear
For players that don't own Secrets of the Obscure, 
望族古物 is the best core option on encounters where 荆棘古物 doesn't work. As this adds a lot of condi duration, you should run the following gear instead:
Consumables
Food
Utility
Usage
Spear rotation
The unique aspect of Spear is the Focused mechanic, which is applied by 
管流激增 and refreshed by the last hit of the auto chain. You can only have a single Focused target, and hitting the target with Spear skills will trigger enhanced effects:
- The autoattack chain will apply
易伤 - 管流激增 applies more
燃烧 
闪电矛杖 ⇒ 
电气炮轰 deals more damage, and applies more 易伤 and 燃烧.
连绵起伏 deals (slightly) more CC.
毁天灭地 will hit the Focused target with 聚焦毁天灭地, applying more damage and 燃烧.
Due to the number of kits being used, skills will be coming off cooldown all the time, and your job is to fit in as many as you can while prioritising the most important ones.
The highest priority skills are 管流激增 and 闪电矛杖/电气炮轰. These form the backbone of the rotation and should always be cast together (alternating between 闪电矛杖 and 电气炮轰).
After these, you want to cycle through your kits, using key skills in each before returning to Spear for 管流激增.
To make this manageable, each "kit" you swap to (for these purposes we consider Spear to also be a kit) has a key skill that we ideally want to swap to and use every time it comes off cooldown, as well as some lower-priority skills that you use if they happen to be off cooldown when you swap. The skills you use in each kit are:
Spear
Key skills: 管流激增 & 闪电矛杖/电气炮轰
Medium priority: 毁天灭地
Grenade Kit
Key skill: 
破片手雷
Medium priority: 
毒气手雷
Low priority: 
冰冻手雷
Bomb Kit
Key skill: 
燃烧弹
Medium priority: 
电流弹
Low priority: 
超级炸弹
Flamethrower
Key Skill: 
烈焰爆弹
Medium priority: 
爆燃烈焰 & 
凝固汽油
Low priority: 气流爆破
As general principles, the priority of your kits is Spear > 
手雷包 > 
炸弹包 > 喷火器, and you should only use one or two skills each time you enter 手雷包. Also note that 燃烧弹 has a longer cooldown than your other key skills, so you will occasionally skip this kit. Any downtime between key skills can be filled with spear autoattacks, but you don't need to worry about finishing the chains.
The following opener should give some idea of how this fits together:
Opener
Start at ~80 heat.
- 燃烧弹 (optional, mostly useful if you can cast it just before combat starts)
-
闪电矛杖
-
管流激增
-
手雷包
-
毒气手雷
-
启用光子熔炉
-
电晕爆炸
-
光子闪击
-
巅峰射线
-

-
管流激增
-
毁天灭地
-
手雷包
-
破片手雷
-
喷火器
-
烈焰爆弹
-
爆燃烈焰
-

- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap
-
管流激增

-
手雷弹幕
-

-
破片手雷
-
喷火器
-
凝固汽油
-
烈焰爆弹
- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap
After this, try to follow the principles outlined above until Photon Forge is ready again. This should line up with Spear skills such that you can do:
-
管流激增
-
闪电矛杖
-
启用光子熔炉
-
电晕爆炸
-
光子闪击
- Autoattack until Corona Burst is ready
-
电晕爆炸
-
停止光子熔炉
-
管流激增
-
电气炮轰
- Quickly cycle through your kits and use the higher priority skills. The aim is to spend ~5 seconds doing this so that Corona Burst is back off cooldown
-
启用光子熔炉
-
电晕爆炸
-
光子闪击
-
手雷弹幕
-
过热
- Repeat something similar to the opener, though the available skills won't necessarily be the same.
- 手雷弹幕 can be used to fill in gaps in the rotation.
- 超级炸弹 can be used similarly, but it's barely a damage increase over autoattacking, so can be saved for CC instead.
- 巅峰射线 should be used nearly off cooldown. It should line up roughly with Photon Forge so you can delay it slightly to use at higher heat.
