Overview
Condition Mechanist is a very simple build that applies lots of 
燃烧, 
困惑 and 
流血. It is very easy to play, especially since the mech will tank most enemies for you. The only downside is its lack of boon generation.

Weapon variants
- Pistol Pistol + Pistol Pistol - for players without access to Janthir Wilds and land spear. Deals slightly less damage but has more range.
Skill Variants
Heal skill
整流纹章 is great because it also heals your mech and is improved by 
机甲核心：翠玉驱动器. Other alternatives can be considered:
治疗炮台 provides very high healing and cleanses 2 conditions when first deployed while creating a water field where you can detonate the turret to provide even more healing (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields). Always pick up the turret or detonate it, as it will provide more healing over time than the super weak regeneration that leaving the turret deployed provides.
Utility skills
超导纹章 provides great damage and is improved by 机甲核心：翠玉驱动器. Never replace it.
手雷包 provides great damage but can be replaced if you hate kits, though that is a noticeable damage loss.
位移纹章 is great for utility, stun break, condition removal. Shouldn't be replaced.
U型试剂 - 
急速 and stunbreak.
屏障纹章 - if you need to block dangerous projectiles.
C型试剂 - massive condition removal and heals per existing boon.
Elite skills
超频纹章 is the best elite for this build. It can be used for damage, or to resummon your mech if it dies. It also improves your other signets. Never replace it.
Specializations
Variants
冲击护盾 - trades damage for defense.
Equipment
Ascended gear is not required.
If you are gearing this character from zero, start with exotic quality gear. Search the trading post for "Viper's Abomination" weapons. Viper exotic armor is very expensive, so we recommend a budget alternative called Carrion (search the trading post for "Shiro" armor) until you can get Viper gear such as by farming Bladed armor or by acquiring ascended armor. Upgrade to Viper and ascended as you progress. See also: Guide:How to Gear a Character.
Consumables
Budget consumables are acceptable for use in open world.
DPS
Defense
Farming
- Prioritize Flatbread Ascended food.

Usage
Damage
Due to 机甲核心：翠玉驱动器, your signets will keep their passive effects while on cooldown, so you can use them freely without any downside.
Spam all your damage skills:
Priority
- Remember to always use
管流激增 before all other spear skills to "focus" your target, increasing the effectiveness of all other spear skills against that target. Save 
连绵起伏 for crowd control, it's not a damage skill. 管流激增 will always come offcooldown at the same time as 
闪电矛杖/
电气炮轰, so use them together. - Enter 手雷包 every 5 seconds to use
破片手雷; also use 
冰冻手雷 and 
毒气手雷 whenever they are available. - You want to spam your mech skills
翻滚重击 and 
释能阵列 so you can place them in auto cast by pressing control + mouse 2 over the skill icons. 
天空马戏团 can be used for damage or saved for crowd control. - When everything is on cooldown, use spear auto attacks.
- You can use 超频纹章 for damage, or save it if you think the Mech will die during the fight. If the mech dies, you need to wait about 3-5 seconds for the death animation to finish before you can use the elite signet to summon it again.
- Using 电气炮轰 will cause the Mech to fire
火箭拳. This is automatic and does not interrupt whatever the Mech is doing.
Defense
- Your mech will tank most enemies for you. If using pistols, then you can also stay at range.
- 整流纹章 provides you and the mech with a good amount of passive healing as well as a strong, short-cooldown active heal.
- 位移纹章 is a short-cooldown teleport, stun break and condi cleanse without a cast time, so you can use it at any time.
