Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
As an Engineer, You'll be swapping in and out of your kits in order to deal large amounts of damage (
手雷包) and access swaths of utilities (精英炮座).
You provide yourself offensive boons from the following sources:
霰弹射击 provides you with some Might.- Attacks which are considered an Explosion (such as from your
步枪爆裂 and 手雷包 skills) provide you with Fury.
You Heal primarily from the following sources:
- Blast Finishers in Water Fields.
- Regeneration from 治疗炮台.
- A Pulsing Heal from
试剂炮弹 in 精英炮座. - A Pulsing Heal from hitting enemies with an Explosion via
超然爆发.
If enemies have Protection, you can remove their boons with Use 投掷地雷.
Dealing Damage
The following skills are your main source of your damage. Use them off cooldown.
Try to always cast 霰弹射击 and 
破片手雷 together, as well as 
毒气手雷 and 
冰冻手雷.
Stay near your enemies so that you get 15% Critical Chance from 
优质枪械.
Don't forget to Dodge regularly to upkeep a 10% damage bonus from 弹药拆装.
