Power Scrapper

October 2024

Introduction

Power Scrapper is a powerful and durable DPS build that brings a lot of Crowd Control and ample Superspeed, giving you and your group great in-combat mobility. It can also revive downed allies from range with Function Gyro.

Build Fundamentals

The rotation of this build revolves around 2 combinations of skills that share cooldowns:

• Electro-whirl and Shrapnel Grenade
• Shredder Gyro with Thunderclap

After that, follow the skill priority list to fill the time between those 2 combos.

Build Specifics

Every time you cast Shrapnel Grenade, check Freeze Grenade and Poison Grenade. If they are available, cast them. If one of them is 1-2 seconds from being off cooldown, you can use toolbelt skills or utilities while you wait for it to come back instead of switching off the kit.

Make sure to use the “stow kit” key (Stow Grenade Kit or Stow Mortar Kit) when switching off Grenade Kit and Elite Mortar Kit. If you use Weapon Swap, it will interrupt any ability you might still be casting, but pressing “stow kit” will allow you to finish casting even if the kit has been put away.

Throw Mine is used as a damage skill but also stuns and strips 3 boons.

Function Gyro does damage and puts down a lightning field, but most importantly it revives downed players in its area. It can be worth sacrificing its damage to have revive power on-deck during difficult fights.

Crowd Control

Most of your crowd control is part of your rotation and is used for damage. Most of the time, it’s not worth delaying your skills to save them for CC, since you already have so much. However, if you’re noticing a lack of CC in your group, it can be worth saving Spare Capacitor and Static Shock.

• Static Shock
• Thunderclap
• Spare Capacitor
• Throw Mine
• Rocket Charge can be used to leap through various lightning fields (Thunderclap, Spare Capacitor, Function Gyro) and apply a little extra CC.

Alternatives

• Elite Mortar Kit can be swapped for:
  • Sneak Gyro for group Superspeed and . This can help evade enemies between fights or in encounters where is relevant.
• A.E.D. can be swapped for:
  • Medic Gyro for additional group Superspeed, at the cost of CC and a bit of damage.
