Tips[edit | edit source]
Backup MagazineAdd an extra charge of your Secondary skill.
Add +1 (+1 per stack) charge of your Secondary skill. is a powerful item on Artificer, allowing her to output massive bursts of damage with her secondary attack.- Flamethrower has a Proc Coefficient of 1.0, allowing it to quickly apply item effects such as
Tri-Tip DaggerChance to bleed enemies on hit.
15% (+15% per stack) chance to bleed an enemy for 240% base damage. andStun GrenadeChance to stun on hit.
5% (+5% on stack) chance on hit to stun enemies for 2 seconds. multiple times. BrainstalksSkills have NO cooldowns for a short period after killing an elite.
Upon killing an elite monster, enter a frenzy for 4s (+4s per stack) where skills have 0.5s cooldowns. and aBandolierChance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns.
18% (+10% per stack) chance on kill to drop an ammo pack that resets all skill cooldowns. are good items to have, since you won't have to worry about cooldowns on your attacks.- Alternatively, just getting one
PurityReduce your skill cooldowns by 2 seconds. You are unlucky.
All skill cooldowns are reduced by 2 (+1 per stack) seconds. All random effects are rolled +1 (+1 per stack) times for an unfavorable outcome. will put the cooldown of Artificer's Primary skill to 0.5s, and one more will allow her to use her Secondary skill very rapidly. But this also makes it extremely unlikely for her to trigger any on-hit effects unless they can be guaranteed, like bleed with seven Tri-Tip Daggers. Negative luck of Purity can be negated with57 Leaf CloverLuck is on your side.
All random effects are rolled +1 (+1 per stack) times for a favorable outcome., but given how rare it is, on Purity build it might be best to just disregard all on-hit effects you can't guarantee, and instead go for items likeRunald's BandHigh damage hits also blasts enemies with runic ice. Recharges over time.
Hits that deal more than 400% damage also blasts enemies with a runic ice blast, slowing them by 80% for 3s (+3s per stack) and dealing 250% (+250% per stack) TOTAL damage. Recharges every 10 seconds. andKjaro's BandHigh damage hits also blasts enemies with a runic flame tornado. Recharges over time.
Hits that deal more than 400% damage also blasts enemies with a runic flame tornado, dealing 300% (+300% per stack) TOTAL damage over time. Recharges every 10 seconds. which have guaranteed procs.
- Alternatively, just getting one
- 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.
- Using Artificer's secondary, utility or sprinting will immediately cancel Flamethrower.
- While charging up Charged Nano-Bomb or Cast Nano-Spear, sprinting will not cancel the charge, allowing higher mobility.
- Cast Nano-Spear and Snapfreeze cannot freeze most bosses, but can freeze and even execute the Final Boss.
- Using Ion Surge and using a Glowing Meteorite can be useful because of Artificer's ENV Suit allowing hover time, and the Glowing Meteorite only damaging ground entities.
Lore[edit | edit source]
With the intense belief that heaven is a planet, not a mystical place, the High Court search deep into space for the Promised Land. Intensely driven by both dogma and science, the High Court holds amazing technological marvels - with nearly all of them hidden deep within their halls. The House Beyond represents the most ambitious of the High Court's followers, spearheading Zone 5 deep space travel. With the advantage of their unique ENV Suit, the House Beyond have gone deeper in space than any other House in the High Court by an order of magnitude. The ENV Suit, worn by the Artificers of the High Court, is an engineering marvel - able to calibrate to the conditions of any environment. The technology behind the ENV Suit, like all other High Court technology, is still undisclosed.
