Close the gap with your target using {{Skill|Conduit Surge}}, {{Skill|Devastator}}, {{Skill|Magnet}}, {{Skill|Acid Bomb}} or {{Skill|Shift Signet}}. Get pump big damage through the use of EE and your Mech. Once closing the gap isn't necessary or possible use {{Skill|Elixir Gun}} to keep applying pressure from range. Keep yourself alive using the same mobility skills you used to close the gap to widen it.

| {{Skill|Tranquilizer Dart}} || Once an enemy is too far to catch or the gap isn't worth closing, use this skill to maintain damage pressure.
 
−
|-
 
−
| {{Skill|Glob Shot}} || This skill has a very strong niche usage for mechanist. When you and your mech are both stood within 600 range of the first hit target, glob shot will bounce between the two of you before returning to it's orginal target. This technique however is limited by RNG. With each extra enemy or ally target in the area the chance of this happening goes down by 50%.

Your full burst would be:

*Build is relativly weak to condi pressure.

−
*{{Skill|Sky Circus}} is a 5 second launch.
 
−
*{{Skill|Roiling Skies}} with focus is a 3 second launch.
 
−
 
 
−
*{{Skill|Overclock Signet}}(Jade Buster Cannon) can be used for an unblockable ~4k hit, but make sure you don't use it when the mech is at risk of dying as you need {{Skill|Overclock Signet}} to respawn the mech.
 
−
 
 
−
*{{Skill|Overclock Signet}} the {{Skill|Crash Down}} from this skill actually does x4 than the regular {{Skill|Crash Down}}. However it has 2 seconds of startup and casts on a random target within ~600 range. It also stunbreaks, this almost makes up for the fact that mech lost 3 core engi stunbreaks.:)
