Traits & Skills

Traits

Skills

医疗包 图标医疗包 can be swapped for:

  • 医疗机械 图标医疗机械 bringing one extra Superspeed source.
  • 自动除颤 图标自动除颤 as a really strong panic button preventing you from going Down once.

炸弹包 图标炸弹包 can replace 绞肉机械 图标绞肉机械 in rare cases when your melee uptime is high and your squad sustain tools allow it.

潜行机械 图标潜行机械 can be used instead of 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 to grant short Stealth durations to your party.

Rifle is really convenient to use in large-scale fights for maximal Damages, but you can change your main weapon depending on your playstyle and preferences.

As 重金属 图标重金属 grants conditional Critical Chance, you can decide to go with more or less Precision on your gear: going with the lowest Critical Chance of 50% to achieve critical cap will make your bursts stronger when the trait is fully activated, at the cost of sustained Damage. Alternatively, if you decide to add Precision you will get constant Damage outputs but less burst potential, as you will rely less on the trait bonus.

质量动能 图标质量动能 can be considered if you do not play around the Superspeed from your Wells, specifically if you picked 自动除颤 图标自动除颤 as your healing skill.

Rotation & Extras

Key Concepts

Power Scrapper is a simple and strong Damage dealer relying mostly on its Kits to deal Damage.

试剂枪 图标试剂枪 will be only used for 强酸炸弹 图标强酸炸弹 at melee range in order to overlap strong ticking AoEs to generate Downs.

喷火器 图标喷火器 will be our main Damage source; it has good sustained Damage from mid-range with Auto Attacks, but also some burst with 爆燃烈焰 图标爆燃烈焰 and 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油. Paired with the high modifiers from the Scrapper Trait Line, we have a really simple and safe way to output massive Damage.

Power Scrapper also brings 功能机型 图标功能机型, a unique Toolbelt skill able to interact with allies and enemies Downs and dealing decent Damage. Moreover, we get access to Wells skills, which are strong utility AoEs ticking for multiple seconds.

Our goal will be to cycle through our different weapon sets to benefit from every one of our Cooldowns.

Always start on your 超级嗜血法印 图标超级嗜血法印 weapon set. Once you reach 25 stacks, swap to your other weapon set.

Dealing Damage

Engage

You should start looking for early Damage on engages using 精英炮座 图标精英炮座 and abuse its Range of 1500. Make sure you are not aiming at Reflect Projectiles effects!

Burst Rotation

Our main Cooldowns to keep track of are 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油 and 绞肉机械 图标绞肉机械. Make sure to keep using them together as much as possible to overlap your ticking Damage together with the rest of your skills.

Your Burst Rotation, notably on Well of Corruption Spike call should be as follows:

  1. 绞肉机械 图标绞肉机械
  2. 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油
  3. 跳跃射击 图标跳跃射击
  4. 强酸炸弹 图标强酸炸弹
  5. 霰弹射击 图标霰弹射击
  6. 备用电容 图标备用电容
  7. 功能机型 图标功能机型

You will want to cycle through the Weapon Rotation while waiting for these main Cooldowns to be back.

Weapon Rotation

Once you've done your Burst Rotation, you will need to wait for your main Cooldowns to come back up.

You now have to rotate efficiently between 试剂枪 图标试剂枪, 喷火器 图标喷火器 and Rifle. The following skills are your main source of burst and should be used off Cooldown:

烈焰喷射 图标烈焰喷射 should be covering the downtime between these skills throughout the rotation. Use the following:

  • 凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油 should be used whenever it is up.
  • 爆燃烈焰 图标爆燃烈焰 → Auto Attack while waiting for your Cooldowns to come back up.

The Auto Attack on 喷火器 图标喷火器 should always be your go-to when you can't commit to other skills or when no other Cooldown is available to cast.

Acid Bomb

You can cancel the recoil of 强酸炸弹 图标强酸炸弹 by using your Weapon Swap after its initial hit.

Rotation Notes

Try to synchronize your Cooldowns together, specifically the ticking AoEs from 强酸炸弹 图标强酸炸弹 and 备用电容 图标备用电容. Doing so will allow you to overlap more Damage and therefore generate Downs more often.

霰弹射击 图标霰弹射击 has a very short Cooldown, meaning you should cast it as much as possible and keep track of it efficiently.

凝固汽油 图标凝固汽油, 绞肉机械 图标绞肉机械 and 跳跃射击 图标跳跃射击 are the main Cooldowns to look at and should be synced up together. They should always be available for the Well of Corruption Spike.

Defense

Superspeed from 机械加速 图标机械加速 should be abused in order to avoid enemy AoEs and Damage.

Dodging triggers the trait 爆破进击 图标爆破进击 which provides you with upfront Damage and the cost of Damage uptime. Not only does Dodging save your life, it also provides you with a Damage buff.

跳跃射击 图标跳跃射击 is a gap closer but also an Evade. It can be life saving as a last resort.

This build comes with two Stun Breaks on your Toolbelt:

Both these Stun Breaks can be used in and out of our Kits. This grants us the opportunity to react twice in a row to Crowd Control.

If played, 自动除颤 图标自动除颤 can be used to prevent dying on upcoming risky moves or react to heavy enemy bursts. It can also be used to prevent downing from 生命幻象 图标生命幻象.
