Equipment

Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

If your performance is not as good as expected, there are a few things to consider:

  • Keep your health above 75% Health to maintain the bonus from 玻璃大炮 图标玻璃大炮.
  • Maximizing the bonus from 万物运动 图标万物运动 requires Swiftness and Stability uptime. You will generate some Stability from 施加斥力 图标施加斥力 and can generate Swiftness from using Blast Finishers in Lightning Fields, but will mostly rely on your boon providers for these boons. If you aren't receiving either this will result in a damage loss.
  • 狙击能手 图标狙击能手 gain 2% increased damage for every unique Condition on the enemy. The DPS strongly depends on the amount of unique Condition on the enemy, so group composition could significantly impact your damage output.

Rotation & Extras

Step 1: Traits and basic Rotation

The core rotation concept of Scrapper is very simple:

  1. 电子回旋 图标电子回旋破片手雷 图标破片手雷
  2. Filler
  3. Repeat, as soon as 电子回旋 图标电子回旋破片手雷 图标破片手雷 becomes available again.

Use 手雷包 图标手雷包 during 电子回旋 图标电子回旋 to smoothly queue 破片手雷 图标破片手雷. While casting any Kit skills you should use Stow Kit to queue non-kit skills. Do not use Weapon Swap or you will interrupt your casts.

For now, use all skills except:

Hammer: 火箭冲锋 图标火箭冲锋, 电击护盾 图标电击护盾 Granate Kit: 闪光手雷 图标闪光手雷 Elite Mortar Kit: 试剂炮弹 图标试剂炮弹

as Filler Skills, making sure to never delay your next 电子回旋 图标电子回旋破片手雷 图标破片手雷 combo.

Step 2: Improve DPS

To ratchet up the damage, align your Filler Skills to maintain uptime on 万物运动 图标万物运动.

万物运动 图标万物运动 gives 5% increased damage for each of the following boons you have: Stability, Swiftness and Superspeed. You can maintain permanent Superspeed uptime by spacing out the use of:

Step 3: Blast Finishers & Combo Fields

To trigger 血石古物 图标血石古物, you will need to execute 4 Blast Finishers into any Combo Field:

Blast Finishers:

Combo Fields:

Step 4: The Rule of 8 Actions

Between each 电子回旋 图标电子回旋破片手雷 图标破片手雷, you have time for 8 actions. Every skill counts as 1 action, with a full Auto Attack chain counting as 3 actions. Remember to always finish Auto Attack chains.

Although these 8 actions can be fairly freeform, some skill Cooldowns line up very well and should be used in sequence:

Step 5: Burst Opener

The opener provides big burst damage and some extra Superspeed uptime:

  1. 投掷地雷 图标投掷地雷
  2. 布设雷区 图标布设雷区
  3. 医疗机械 图标医疗机械
  4. 超级炸弹 图标超级炸弹
  5. 磁力炸弹 图标磁力炸弹
  6. 燃烧弹 图标燃烧弹
  7. 电流弹 图标电流弹
  8. 雷霆一击 图标雷霆一击引爆地雷 图标引爆地雷
  9. 电子回旋 图标电子回旋破片手雷 图标破片手雷引爆雷区 图标引爆雷区

Remember to use the opener at the start of combat and at the start of any phase.

Breakbar, Tips & Tricks

Most of your CC is used as Filler-Skills so there is constant Breakbar Damage dealt. In real situation fights you can try to align your Filler-Skills in a way to deal the most CC in Breakbar Phases.

电击护盾 图标电击护盾 can be used to Block attacks and deal some Damage instead of Dodge to stay in place.
