==Usage==
* This build is a duelist with team-fighting capabilities.
+
* This build is for roaming, taking 1v1s and can even hold outnumbers while kiting. Use your various CCs to pin and burst down your opponenets.
 
 
In order to work this build uses {{Trait|Shrapnel}}, {{Trait|Steel-Packed Powder}} & {{Relic|Relic of Vass}}  to apply covers from use of {{Skill|Grenade Kit}}, {{Skill|Flame Blast}} or {{Skill|Rocket Fist Prototype}}. Most of your {{Relic|Relic of Vass}} stacks will trigger from defensive play. When in melee range you can use {{Skill|Smoke Vent}} for a bonus cover.
 
Your main damage attacks will be {{Skill|Flame Blast}}, {{Skill|Shrapnel Grenade}}, {{Skill|Poison Grenade}} & {{Skill|Grenade Barrage}} in damaging order. Put simply {{Skill|Grenade Kit}} will apply covers and damage; whilst {{Skill|Flamethrower}} will be your burst condi source.
 
 
 
* {{Skill|Toss Elixir X}} - Moa is the effective elite of this build and it comes with a few benefits. Moa prevents the enemy from using: Cleanse, Strong/Condi Attacks, Jumps, Stun-Breaks, Shrouds, Transformations. It also ignores stability. Moa can act as a hard counter to Necromancer/Specter.
 
 
 
====How to play====
 
 
 
Keep your range while using {{Skill|Grenade Kit}} and {{Skill|Flame Blast}}. Once they get into melee range use your multiple blinds and CCs while keeping your DPS advantage. When the team needs a target dead use {{Skill|Toss Elixir X}} to assist at opportune moments.
 
 
 
* '''Main Damage Sources''': {{Skill|Rocket Fist Prototype}} - {{Skill|Shrapnel Grenade}} -{{Skill|Flame Blast}} - {{Skill|Poison Grenade}} - {{Skill|Grenade Barrage}}
 
 
 
* '''Covers''': {{Skill|Energizing Slam}} - {{Skill|Freeze Grenade}} - {{Skill|Flash Grenade}} - {{Skill|Smoke Vent}} - {{Skill|Mace Strike}}
 
 
 
* '''Cleanse Sources''': {{Skill|Elixir H}}(3 Cleanse) - {{Skill|Toss Elixir H}} - {{Skill|Super Elixir}} - {{Skill|Static Shield}} - {{Skill|Magnetic Inversion}}
 
 
 
*'''Anti Reflect Options''': {{Skill|Fumigate}}, {{Skill|Flame Jet}} & {{Skill|Poison Grenade}}
 
 
 
* Use {{Skill|Grenade Kit}}, {{Skill|Fumigate}}, {{Skill|Grenade Barrage}} & {{Skill|Flame Jet}}to get rid of {{Relic|Relic of Vass}} stacks quickly.
 
 
 
====Mobility====
 
Compared to Holo,Scrapper and Mech this build is relatively slow but it still has a select few options.
 
 
 
*{{Skill|Energizing Slam}} - This move is a slightly slower and higher CD {{Skill|Holo Leap}}. Use it to create/close distance easily.
 
 
 
*{{Skill|Acid Bomb}} - When running while in combat or not under {{Tooltip|Superspeed}}, use this skill to create/close distance quickly. Learning how to travel using reverse {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} is fundimental to survival on this build.
 
 
 
*{{Skill|Elixir X}} - The primary use of this skill is for mobility rather than damage. Once {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} won't be sufficient use {{Skill|Elixir X}} to create/close distance. As soon as active use skill 5 in either transformations to escape.
 
 
 
*{{Skill|Tranquilizer Dart}} - Use to hit opponents outside of condi grenade range.
 
 
 
====Burst & Combos====
 
These are also effective on {{Skill|Toss Elixir X}} hit targets.
 
 
 
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}} + {{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}} + {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Freeze Grenade}} -> {{Skill|Smoke Vent}}.
 
 
 
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}} + {{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}} + {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Rocket Fist Prototype}} -> {{Skill|Flame Blast}} -> {{Skill|Smoke Vent}} -> {{Skill|Shrapnel Grenade}}.  
 
  
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}} + {{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}} + {{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Rocket Fist Prototype}} -> {{Skill|Energizing Slam}} -> {{Skill|Shrapnel Grenade}} -> {{Skill|Smoke Vent}}
+
===How to Play===
  
===Moa Set-Ups===
+
Coming soon.
Once the opponent is hit by {{Skill|Toss Elixir X}} they will be locked out of multiple options such as: Cleanse, Strong/Condi Attacks, Jumps, Stun-Breaks, Shrouds, Transformations. It is most effective to quickly CC or {{Tooltip|Immobile}} the target(s) with your fastest option being {{Skill|Magnetic Inversion}},{{Skill|Static Shield}} or use {{Skill|Rocket Fist Prototype}} if nothing else. If you choose to not CC then your burst options are:
 
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}}/{{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}}/{{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Flame Blast}}
 
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}}/{{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}}/{{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Shrapnel Grenade}}
 
* {{Relic|Relic of Vass}}/{{Skill|Incendiary Ammo}}/{{Trait|Explosive Entrance}} -> {{Skill|Poison Grenade}}
 
It is most effective to {{Skill|Toss Elixir X}} before you opponent can cleanse since even if you miss your CC you can still be rewarded.
