Tips

 * Getting multiple Backup Magazine in conjunction with Ocular HUD can help Artificer deal massive amounts of damage to bosses or common enemies alike.
 * Flamethrower has a Proc Coefficient of 1.0, allowing it to quickly apply item effects such as Tri-Tip Dagger and AtG Missile Mk. 1 multiple times, stacking these items will allow you to deal huge bursts damage.
 * Higher Attack Speed will increase the speed of all attack animations and increases the charge speed of Charged Nano-Bomb, however, it does not affect the duration nor the tickrate of Flamethrower.
 * Artificer's other abilities cannot be activated in the duration of Flamethrower, however, sprinting will cancel the attack instantly.
 * While initiating the charge up will cancel sprint, sprinting while charging a Charged Nano-Bomb will not cancel the charge and she will be able to fully charge and launch the attack without breaking sprint.
