Usage

Set 爆炸重击 to autoattack, this lowers the nessecary APM for the build

This build is for roaming, taking 1v1s and can even due to it's high sustain it can even hold outnumbers while kiting. Use your various CCs to pin and burst down your opponents. This build also has notable 急速 uptime alongside minor boon and healing sharing.

This is a combo heavy CC build that can deal massive damage even through 稳固. The strongest move that will lead into all of your combos is 原型火箭拳, this can also lead into an evade trap making it easier to land 磁铁/药丸弹射 resulting in alternative combos.

How to Play

The main complete combo is:

原型火箭拳 (工事瓦解) - Starter
爆炸重击
蓄能猛攻
药丸弹射 - Extension
Mech at Point Blank Range:翠玉迫击炮 ( 晕眩 + 定身)
强酸炸弹 -> Weapon Swap Weapon Swap Momentum Cancel
撬棍
猛击 finisher (if you need 急速 to finish the kill use 危机区域}

It's recommended that your practice the combo inbetween games on the training golems. You don't need to land the full combos you can instead mix and match the starter and extensions, for example you can use 磁铁/磁力反转 instead of 药丸弹射 & 翠玉迫击炮. Similarly you can also start the combo with 磁铁/磁力反转 or 药丸弹射 & 翠玉迫击炮 and use 原型火箭拳 as the extension.

Alternative Simple Combo:

Alternative Simple Combo Ranged:

Mechanist has very strong synergy with specific 试剂枪/工具包 skills, for example:

药丸弹射 - This skill will prioritise bounces from the opponent -> you -> an ally(your Mech) -> opponent. In 1v1 scenarios this garentees glob shot to always hit for x2 and apply Cripple Cripple also.
药雾熏蒸 - A means to cleanse most harmful conditions or soft CCs from your mech quickly.
猛击 - Due to 机甲核心：翠玉融合 giving 急速 without any cast time, you can very consistently land the full chain(猛砸) so long as the quickness remains, making it a viable and strong 3rd damage option on 工具包.
钉盒 - Usually the 定身 trigger is a waste to use on it's own since you need to pre-apply cripple or have them CCed. With mech you are able to 翠玉迫击炮 at point blank turning then cast the skill. This allows you to 晕眩/ 定身 even if 药丸弹射 is still on cooldown.

Auto Attacking: 钉锤打击 - At melee | 麻醉飞镖 - At range | 猛击 - With 急速

Kiting

Mechanist is fast at traveling long distances but pretty slow at short distances so you have to be very selective with when you use your movement options. Surviving 2v1s and outnumbers are important to making this build it's most effective that's why good kiting is a must.

First use defensive kiting skills: 齿盾, 危机区域磁力反转 & 静电护盾 - these skills are great for slithering out of tight situations where dodging wouldn't of been enough, setting up perfectly for you to use movement skills.
Second use your movement skills as soon as you have the chance: 蓄能猛攻, 强酸炸弹 and 位移纹章 - use these skills to build moderate or great distances.
Then use skills to help your kiting: 钉盒, 磁力反转, 快捷工具(Glue Trail/Superspeed) - use these skills when an enemy is hot on your trails to extend moderate distances to great distances, spend their cooldowns or dissuade chasers.

Repeat these steps or use no port spots until you can re-sustain and re-enter the fighting.

Sustain

Most of mechanist and mech healing is passive so you won't need to think too much about it but there are ways to heal for much more.

治疗炮台 - After casting this heal instantly cast 引爆治疗炮台 for an 1,300HP healing. By chaining your combo finisher's in the field such as 蓄能猛攻 you can heal up to 4,200HP more every heal. With improved regen the base healing is 7,000HP meaning that the heal can do up to 13,500HP healing every 25 seconds. 9,700HP of that being sharable with the mech if it's close.
超级试剂 - Just an extra healing and cleanse, great when re-sustaing and you have a chance to stand still. Can be best used along side 治疗炮台 instead of or with a combo finisher.
蓄能猛攻/爆炸重击 - Both healing for over 1000HP if you're ever in a desperate situation then just rely on these no matter if you have a target or not.
超频纹章 - Akin to ranger's pet swap this is Engineers alternative to that. The 超频纹章 skill is very weak and isn't unblockable on power, don't use this elite and instead salvage the 位移纹章 cooldown reduction. When your mech dies wait about 5 seconds and use 超频纹章 to respawn mech and have it do a high damage attack on respawn. If your mech dies again then instant respawn will take ~60 seconds to recharge with 强力扳手, once mech is completely dead then the mechanist becomes easy to deal with. Play it safe to prevent that from happening.

Survival of the Mech

The mech is a make or break mechanic. If not played correctly it can be on a cooldown up to 40 seconds, leaving you still capable but vulnerable and weaker. The mech can be respawned using our elite: 超频纹章. You must wait for the previous mech to completely leave to not put the skill on full cooldown without effect, takes around 5 seconds of waiting.

Power

Power usually isn't a massive threat but against classes with massive AOEs and fast burst problems can being. How you deal with them is by:

紧急协议 - Gives you the perfect oppitiunity to collect your mech and run it away from harm.
危机区域 - If in a compromising position this can bbe the difference in life or the mech going on constant respawn.
In general CCs are a great way of peeling for your mech.

Condition

Condition damage is a threat to the mechs very existance, unlike ranger which has a full heal & cleanse all every 20 seconds, the mechanist has to manually cleanse the mech. You greatly improve your chances of dominating condi match-ups by:

治疗炮台 - Great mech heal. Can heal for < 6k while cleansing 2 conditions. If you also need to heal at the same time it can be a complete momentum shifter.
超级试剂 - Small but impactful healing and cleansing. Even greater when you use blast finishers to cleanse more.
药雾熏蒸 - Your Main mech cleanse option, can be used to clear all damaging conditions espcially with its short cooldown. Use it to cleanse cripple and chill from mech.
麻醉飞镖 - Keep your distance by having your mech follow you and only use it for bursting. This is the best way to keep it alive for long.
