Overview
Power Scrapper Scrapper is a well rounded build with great damage, defense, and boon generation. It's very tanky since dealing damage generates barrier from 
冲击专家, and it provides permanent 
急速 to itself and nearby allies, some 
威能, permanent personal 
激怒, and has access to plenty of utility and Crowd Control.
Scrapper has a very unique way of providing 急速. 
动能加速 provides 急速 and 威能 in an area around you whenever you make a blast or leap combo finisher, or every 3 seconds with a whirl finisher (See: Guide:What are Combo Fields). This provides permanet 急速 with 0 boon duration.

Weapon variants
We recommend to always use hammer, which has a double leap finisher on 
火箭冲锋 for 急速 generation. If you need range, you can simply use 
精英炮座.
Skill Variants
Heal
The choice of heal skill is very open. We recommend 
治疗炮台 as it is simple to use, 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 and Quickness (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.
Other options can be considered:
医疗包 provides a blast finisher with 
灌注炸弹 to generate more 急速, condition cleanse and water field with 
净化区域, and good healing with the toolbelt skill 
自我包扎 (Bandage Self counts as "using your heal skill" for all purposes such as 
步调一致).
自动除颤 - helpful to negate a big attack or a oneshot, but poor healing if it doesn't, and has a helpful 2 second stun on the toolbelt skill 
静电冲击. Does not have access to combo finishers for quickness generation.
Utility
投掷地雷 has great damage and crowd control, plus a blast finisher to help provide 急速, never replace it.
爆破机械 has good damage but, most importantly, creates a fire field and a blast finisher which helps provide 急速 and some 威能. Should not be replaced unless really needed.
绞肉机械 provides great damage, can be replaced if needed.
Other options you can consider are:
手雷包 - great damage from the toolbelt skill 
手雷弹幕 and the grenades from the kit.
净化机械 - for condi cleanse.
火箭飞靴 - mobility.
小型冲锤 - more crowd control.
C型试剂 - massive condition removal and heals per existing boon.
U型试剂 - offensive boons.
Elite
The elite skill is not particularly impactful in this build. 精英炮座 provides easy access to combo fields for 急速 generation, including a water field for minor extra healing, but you can consider other options.
空投补给 - area CC; can be detonated for blast finishers.
潜行机械 - long duration mobile stealth field which can be used to avoid mob aggro in various situations.

Usage
General
- Use leap, blast, and whirl finishers on combo fields for 急速 and 威能 generation from 动能加速. See Guide:What are Combo Fields. You require 0 boon duration to maintain permanent 急速.
- After generating quickess and might, continue dealing damage with
电子回旋, 绞肉机械 and fill with hammer basic attacks. - Don't interrupt your hammer auto-attack chain, the final hit deals significantly higher damage.
- Having
奔驰疾速 is a damage increase due to 
万物运动, you can grant yourself 奔驰疾速 via 
分流涂层, 
机械加速, and 步调一致. - Always stay in melee range to benefit from
优质枪械.
Defense
- You generate lots of barrier due to 冲击专家.
电击护盾 is both a block and gives you barrier, it can be used to generate barrier while blocking a high damage attack.- You can use 精英炮座's
试剂炮弹 to create a water field then use blast or leap finishers on it to receive a bit of healing. Or use 
闪光炮弹 to blind trash mobs.
