Last Update: December 2023

Playstyle
Role: DPS 
Tank 
You provide Quickness to allies by performing Leap and Blast finishers inside Combo Fields, which are available by using Hammer 3/Function Gyro/Blast Gyro, Detonate Mine, and even the Healing Turret. If your team has no combo fields, you can always use the Hammer 5/Function Gyro/Shredder Gyro static fields to combo in.
Skill Priority:
- Shredder Gyro + Blast Gyro + Function Gyro
- Throw Mine/Mine Field > Detonate Mine
- Hammer 5 + 3
- Grenade 2/4/5 (if using Grenades)
- Healing Turret (if quickness is needed)
- Hammer 1 if Melee
- Mortar/Grenade 1 if Ranged

As an engineer enjoyer, I actually recommend playing this build with rifle instead. Couple of reasons: 1) Ranged gameplay makes it easier to position yourself well in fights and makes it easier to have high dps uptime. 2) Overcharged Shot, provides 232 deviance bar break over only 100 from thunderclap. 3) Rifle Burst Grenade ensures a constant stream of explosions on auto-attack which is great for explosives tradeline synergy. 4) Jump Shot profides excelent mobility in tricky situations 5) Using rifle makes aim-assistant rocket viable which yields better dps over explosive temper.
There is no Quickness provided to either yourself or your teammates. Do you actually mean “superspeed”?
It does give quickness in PvE
