The Core Combo

The following combo will be the bread and butter of your rotation:

• / → →

Always prioritize this combo and use it off Cooldown!

A few notes about this combo:

• is the flip skill of and becomes available 4 seconds after you cast . and will alternate in your rotation, but one of them will always be available to combo with , so you will just perform the combo with whichever one is currently on your weapon skill 3. For simplicity, the combo will be listed with only from here on out.
• Make sure you open during the cast time of . Stow Kit has a 1 second Cooldown once a Kit is opened, so you will need to open quickly or you will be unable to Stow Kit once you are done with . (You can still Weapon Swap, but again, make sure you are not interrupting any skills.)
• Get used to the timing of this combo and don't move onto the next step until you've gotten fairly comfy with it. This is the core combo of the build and thus is important to get right!

Fill the gaps with Auto Attacks. It is not a priority to finish your Auto Attack Chains.

Mech Skills

You can set all three of your Mech skills (, , ) to Auto Attack. We'll talk more about the mech skills later.

Step Two: More Grenades!

Since you should now be comfy with opening and Stowing , we can add two more skills into the mix. and have the same Cooldown, so we can use them together whenever they are off Cooldown while we are in .

deals more damage, so we want to prioritize it first, but the more important thing is to use both because it will make your life much easier when their Cooldowns are synced.

Since these skills will both be available at the start, you should start with them in your opener as well. Here's what the rotation will look like:

Opener

1. → →
2. →

Rotation Priorities

1. → →
2. →

Step Three: One More Weapon Skill

The last weapon skill in the rotation is . has a lower priority than the two combos we talked about in Step One and Two, so use off Cooldown without delaying any of your other combos.

Note that is a Ground-Targeted movement skill, so watch where you're going! In real fights, this can be used to Evade or reposition, but holding onto it for too long will decrease your overall Damage output.

That's all of your non-mech skills covered, so here's the updated and final rotation:

Opener

1. → →
2. →

Rotation Priorities

1. → →
2. →

Step Four: Mech Skills

We currently have our Mech skills set to Auto Attack. This is fine! There are just some things to keep in mind:

• While letting your Mech do its own thing can be convenient in reducing complexity and APM, you should still consider casting them manually (even while they are set to Auto Attack) to have better control over which skills are being used and in what order.
• Sometimes it can take a while for the Mech to start casting its available skills, so you may be able to squeeze out a little extra Damage by manually casting them.

Here's the mech priority list (use off Cooldown):

Note that cannot/should not be set to Auto Attack, so you will always have to cast this manually. will interrupt your mech's current action, so make sure you are not interrupting your other Mech skills when casting it.
