Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

Select utility skills depending on the encounter:

  • 屏障纹章 图标屏障纹章 provides extra Barrier, Blocks Missiles, and can grant an extra ~6s of Alacrity.
  • 位移纹章 图标位移纹章 for mobility and a personal Stun Break. Improves passive Might output.
  • 工具包 图标工具包, for Defiance Break, Pull, and a Block.
  • 投掷地雷 图标投掷地雷 for Boon Removal, a Blast Finisher, and Defiance Break.
  • 喷火器 图标喷火器 for access to a Knockback, Blast Finisher, and a Fire Field.
  • Find other options in the gameplay guide.

午夜国王古物 图标午夜国王古物 can be used to generate extra Fury overcap, at the cost of 卡拉科萨古物 图标卡拉科萨古物. This will cost some Healing output.

More Giver's or Harrier's pieces may be taken to adjust for toughness for tanking purposes or for survivability.

This build is a variant of the Short Bow default build.

连锁反应 图标连锁反应 can be taken instead of 生长激素 图标生长激素 for increased Barrier generation if the lost boons won't be an issue. If doing so, it's recommended to stock up on Blast Finishers to trigger the trait. Skills like 喷火器 图标喷火器 and 炸弹包 图标炸弹包 excel here.

Rotation & Extras

Boons

Heal Alacrity Mechanist must cast certain skills frequently to maintain its squad boon output. It focuses on a Jade Mech, which generates Alacrity and other useful boons for their subgroup.

Jade Mech, Barrier, and Alacrity

Using Mech skills while too far away from your Mech will lengthen their Cooldowns, due to 机械天才 图标机械天才.

危机区域 图标危机区域 applies Alacrity. Delay it to provide Aegis, Stability, Stun Break, or Cleanse Conditions on demand.

机甲结构:引流管道 图标机甲结构:引流管道 grants Alacrity every interval when you grant Barrier to an ally. Barrier sources include:

机甲坠落 图标机甲坠落 is a valuable skill for Defiance Break, so whenever you know a foe's Defiance Bar is coming up soon, you should cast 召回机甲 图标召回机甲 a few seconds ahead of time.

The Jade Mech will need to be positioned carefully, or risk dropping boon uptime. Attack My Target, Return to Me, and the Guard/Avoid Combat toggle are all helpful to move the Jade Mech.

More notes on Jade Mech usage can be found in the gameplay guide.
