GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Scrapper Roaming Build. Scrapper. Engineer World vs World 2023.
Last Update: Feb 2023
Alchemy Variant
The Celestial Scrapper has high sustain from the damage it deals returning as barrier, the superspeed which makes it hard to catch, and the boons it generates constantly. Manage your positioning with superspeed which is gained by using tool belt skills. While chasing enemies use pistol attacks and while kiting enemies throw grenades behind you for great counter-pressure.
Heavy damage can be done with the high amount of might generation this build gets from having stability. Rotate between your Defense Field, Function Gyro, and Elixir U to have near permanent stability which is great defense but also gives you as much might as possible. Use Grenade Barrage when at maximum stacks of might.
Setup your Ground Targeting option as “Instant” as well as enabling “Skill Retargeting” and practice aiming with your Grenade Kit while moving for better accuracy. This improves your damage output while under pressure or kiting drastically. If you still have issues to land grenades you can try using the option “Snap Ground Target to Current Target” and the grenades will go to your target as long you are in range, just make sure to detarget before using any other AoE like if you want to throw an elixir at your location.

Firearms Variant
While less sustain, this version has much more hybrid damage modifiers and condition application for a more aggressive playstyle which is better when you have the support of allies.
