Key concepts

Snap to ground target

Having snap to ground target enabled in the settings, or using it as a keybind will allow you to take target on your enemy, and using your 手雷包 图标手雷包 skills on them without having to aim. If you don't have a target, the skills will land on your cursor. REMEMBER to turn it off if you play a different build as it is only used on this build.

Engineer uses elixirs and weapon kits to generate Might and Fury. Elixirs also give you access to a lot of extra damage thanks to 瓦思古物 图标瓦思古物.

A lot of your damage comes from 手雷包 图标手雷包 spamming 普通手雷 图标普通手雷 and all the other cooldowns from it. You can throw all of your 手雷包 图标手雷包 skills behind you, meaning you can keep moving forward while turning your camera to look behind you (or using the keybind for "Look Behind").

Dealing Damage

Your main source of damage is still 手雷包 图标手雷包. You also applies a lot of Poison, Bleeding and Burning. The only skill in the kit that doesn't deal a lot of damage is 闪光手雷 图标闪光手雷. It blinds the enemy making it still very useful. All of your 手雷包 图标手雷包 and Explosive skills apply Vulnerability, Bleeding and Cripple due to 飞散弹片 图标飞散弹片 in Explosives Trait Line which also makes them give you Might.

Pistol brings light damage with 毒镖连射 图标毒镖连射 and 静电射击 图标静电射击 but the Blind hitting multiple targets can create a huge different in a fight.

喷火器 图标喷火器 brings high damage under the form of Burning.

A powerful 2 skill combo is: 爆燃烈焰 图标爆燃烈焰 for Quickness into 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油.

气流爆破 图标气流爆破 Knockback has a lot higher range than the animation leads you to think. It's also really strong to use before your 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油 combo.

烈焰爆弹 图标烈焰爆弹 also offers very high AoE damage.

On your toolbelt you only have access to one damage skill: 手雷弹幕 图标手雷弹幕. It will deal a lot of damage as it works as multiple 手雷包 图标手雷包 at once. Having high stacks of 瓦思古物 图标瓦思古物 can turn it into a oneshot.

Lastly your elite 空投补给 图标空投补给 doesn't deal a lot of damage on cast but the potential turrets will usually either add damage or CC to the ability.

Use your elixir toolbelt skills, 投掷H型试剂 图标投掷H型试剂 and 投掷U型试剂 图标投掷U型试剂, off cooldown for 瓦思古物 图标瓦思古物 procs.

Defense

Shield offers 2 block abilities. 地磁护盾 图标地磁护盾 to reflect projectiles, and a possible re use to Knockback. 静电护盾 图标静电护盾 blocks everything and if blocking melee abilities it will Stun the attacker. Reactivating it, 投掷盾牌 图标投掷盾牌 will let you Daze from range.

Your Stun Break are 排放烟雾 图标排放烟雾 from your toolbest and your utility U型试剂 图标U型试剂. U型试剂 图标U型试剂 can also be used agressively for the Quickness it provides.

医疗空投 图标医疗空投 gives a huge Condition Removal and puts down med packs you can run through for extra Heal.
