Overview
Power Mechanist has a simple rotation, and the mech allows you to maintain high damage even if you're forced to deal with mechanics. This makes it an excellent starter class.
The different weapon options allow for some flexibility in utility and survivability, and it can provide some minor group support quite easily.
Skill Bar
Weapon Variants
- Sword/Pistol is a small DPS gain for players that own Secrets of the Obscure, though as it is fully melee it may be lower damage in real encounters.
- Hammer offers frequent projectile reflect, an evade, and a block. The lightning field on
雷霆一击 will also result in some occasional 
迅捷 for your subgroup.
Skill Variants
自动除颤 can be used to skip certain oneshot attacks
炸弹包 should replace 
手雷包 if using Sword and 
血石古物.
投掷地雷 can replace 手雷包. This is a small DPS loss, but the rotation is simpler and you gain access to more CC and boon rip. It also has stronger burst damage if you can precast a mine.

狙击能手 is slightly more long-term damage for Rifle, but is notably worse against low-armour targets or in phased fights where the target goes invulnerable.
机甲武器：翠玉加农炮 are the highest damage, but your mech won't close to melee range, which can lead to them ending up outside of the range of 
机械天才 if you don't keep an eye on it. This trait is required if using Sword/Pistol and 血石古物 as you don't have other ranged damage.
- For phases under 20s, the burst of 机甲武器：翠玉加农炮 is significantly better so it is more recommended on encounters such as Keep Construct, Samarog or Conjured Amalgamate.
- For phases under 20s, the burst of
- It would be a minor long-term DPS loss to take
机甲武器：单刃切刀, and you wouldn't have to worry about your mech's positioning as much.
- It would be a further minor DPS loss to take
机甲武器：高冲驱动器, and you would generate a decent amount of 
威能 for doing so.
- It would be a further minor DPS loss to take
Equipment
Equipment Variants
- 血石古物 offers the highest damage potential, but you need to use Sword/Pistol and 炸弹包 which is fully melee.
- The Dragon stats Dragon stats pieces are a tiny DPS increase, so you can run full Berserker stats Berserker stats if you prefer.
超级学者符文 is a tiny DPS loss.
Consumables

碗装甜辣冬南瓜汤 or ascended versions
Utility
Usage
The build is incredibly easy to play, and mostly boils down to using certain weapon skills off-cooldown.
If taking 手雷包, whenever you use skill 2 (
折射切割刀, 
电子回旋 or 
霰弹射击), switch to 手雷包 and use 
破片手雷, plus 
毒气手雷 OR 
冰冻手雷. Shrapnel Grenade will always be ready, skip Poison and Freeze grenade if they are on cooldown.

-
毒气手雷

- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap (or stow kit)
- Repeat
- If you hover your mouse over an element of the UI, your character will use 跳跃射击 in place, minimising the animation length and maintaining your position
Sword Rotation
If using 血石古物 bring 炸弹包 instead of 手雷包, and when 
粘胶射击 is on a ~3 second cooldown do the following burst to trigger the relic:
Outside of this, the rotation is functionally a priority list:
- With 手雷包, after using 折射切割刀, go into 手雷包 and use 破片手雷 plus either 毒气手雷 or 冰冻手雷 (if available). 毒气手雷 takes priority.
- Complete your autoattack chains.
- Every time you complete an auto chain, it slightly reduces the cooldown of your two sword skills.
Video example (with Elixir Gun)
Hammer Rotation
Opener
-
雷霆一击
-
电子回旋
-
手雷包
-
破片手雷
- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap (or stow kit)
火箭冲锋 (optional)
Rest of the Rotation
After the opener, your basic loop is as follows:
- Autoattack and use 雷霆一击 and 火箭冲锋 on Hammer until Electro-whirl is available - make sure to finish your auto chains!
-
电子回旋
-
手雷包
- 破片手雷, and 冰冻手雷 OR 毒气手雷 (if available)
- Weapon Swap Weapon Swap (or stow kit)
- Repeat
- 火箭冲锋 is a small DPS increase, but locks your character into a long animation. As the skill also provides two evades, it can instead be saved for defensive use.
- Only use one grenade skill alongside 破片手雷 each time you enter 手雷包.
- See below for more General Tips.
General Tips
- Make sure you're within 360 units of your mech before using F1-3 skills, or they will have a 50% longer cooldown thanks to 机械天才.
- Try to let your autoattacks finish.
- Use
火花旋轮, 
翠玉迫击炮 and 
反应堆核心射击 off cooldown - you can set them on autocast if you won't need to save them for CC.
- 反应堆核心射击 may be delayed is a breakbar if imminent.
- If your mech dies, use
超频纹章 to immediately get it back.
