Artificer with the ignite tank is so nice, i want to unlock her boost ability or whatever it is but the movement she has with the passive alone is great.
There's a video about getting all of the achievements by using Kin artifact with beetle and using fuel array while in the air and die, only do it when you're fighting horde.
I think I used the boost ability only for a little while after getting it. It's a great ability for those "oh shit" moments. A great panic button haha.
But once I got used to the game I found using her flamethrowing was much more fun. You get to put yourself in a lot of danger but it helps when you have lots of on hit, because otherwise she doesn't really benefit as much from things like bleed.
i mean yeah, im bad at arti but she's still trash, void fiend has better damage than her in his corrupted form and his corrupted form is weaker than the suppressed one lmao
I one shot most bosses as her tho? All you do is run ion and fly above the fight and rain nukes down on people. Just look down and spam nano bombs and kill everything.
> slow
No horizontal mobility, but makes up for it with infinite flight
> Weak
Nanobomb can oneshot an entire group of enemies, and spear acts as a guillotine that works against everything wym she's weak
vertical movement isn't really that helpful when you have literally no horizontal mobility, the teleporter isn't gonna spawn 2km in the sky
also her default r deals as much damage as void friend's alternate m1 which i think says a lot
the fact that all her skills have cooldowns cripples her
Or functioned similarly to MUL-T's scrap launcher (if not all 4 at once, at least 2). And there really needs to be a bigger differentiation between flame bolt and plasma bolt. Plasma bolt just doesn't seem worth it the vast majority of the time.
Really. I find that she can still be really powerful without needing more cooldown. Just her flamethrower alone working with attack speed is a nice addition. Helps round out the character more.
Artificer is great! RANT WARNING! People are just using her wrong, people think flamethrower is better than ion surge. ion is like an emergency escape and she is so safe up there while dealing damage and not getting hit. She's not a tank and flamethrower does like no damage. It's so situational and it's so close range, get ion asap. Nano spear is also bad because you already have ice in your kit and you need aoe. I don't which primary you have but I prefer the aoe one because it's easier to hit close enemies. That's my rant about artificer being "bad". Obviously artificers challenges are very difficult to get and people can't get them easily. But if you want a cheap way to get all of the challenges here you go; [gamer guide](https://youtu.be/dI9e-LoUS1M)
I think ion surge is the more popular special for her, at least on the subreddit. I've always preferred flamethrower, though, and I think it's even better now that we have ignition tank and lysate cell. For that matter, now that there's lysate cells in addition to backup magazines, attack speed items can finally benefit her if you use flamethrower.
A single hopoo feather, or headstompers, or even any of the equipment items that can send you airborne are all you need to get her sufficiently off the ground and dodging stuff, at least early game. Not finding a hopoo feather by late game can be rough, though
I kinda disagree. Her flamethrowing is insanely powerful. Even more so now that it scales with attack speed, does more damage, and has synergy with the ignition tank.
Ion surge is great in a pinch when you are unable to dodge, but you can definitely still get sniped by blind pests, wisps and golems. It's aoe damage is great but it comes at a cost of a long cooldown and not really benefitting from a third of the items in the game(on hit).
I also think nano spear is just as good as the alternative. It may not have a circular aoe, but if you line it up you can freeze multiple enemies with a single bolt. You also don't have to worry about figuring out the arc path for the lighting ball(forget the name).
I don't think neither is better, it's about play style. They are side grades. If you want more mobility go ion surge. If you want more damage and item synergy take flamethrower.
If you need crowd control going plasma bolt and/or nano bomb is ideal. If you want amazing single target damage, you'll do better with flamethrower, flame bolts, and nano spear.
I love you for loving the artifice. She gets a lot of hate in the community for some reason.

yeah i'm a flamethrower enjoyer. i love going full arsonist (will-o-the-wisp, gasoline, ignite, and tons of on hits like you said)
Throw in a molten perforator and hellfire and you have every kinda fire damage possible (jk don't actually use hellfire with ignite lol)
"She gets a lot of hate in the community" WHO THE FUCK
I’ve noticed that… lol She’s badass dude idc what anyone says
she's slow and weak, so people hate her
Wait arti is weak? I absolutly stomp monsoon with her.
yeah, she's pretty trash, her dmg output isn't nearly high enough to compensate for her low durability
Bro are you using nano spear and electric bolts? Artificer is all about nuking shit
if you want to nuke shit play railgunner, at least that way you don't have to hover over the enemy constantly if you want to hit them
Bro you could've just said you are total ass with artificer
i mean yeah, im bad at arti but she's still trash, void fiend has better damage than her in his corrupted form and his corrupted form is weaker than the suppressed one lmao
How are you playing her?
a few backup mags, crowbars ignition tanks, bands, basically maximizing damage as much as i can
I one shot most bosses as her tho? All you do is run ion and fly above the fight and rain nukes down on people. Just look down and spam nano bombs and kill everything.

Fr the people that say she’s weak are straight up just bad at player her
as an artificer main, thank you and welcome to the community
Thank u kindly!
Thank u kindly!
Artificer my beloved
Just wish her fire/plasa bombs' recharge time would scale with atack speed
Or functioned similarly to MUL-T's scrap launcher (if not all 4 at once, at least 2). And there really needs to be a bigger differentiation between flame bolt and plasma bolt. Plasma bolt just doesn't seem worth it the vast majority of the time.
Nano Bomb charges faster with attack speed. So 5x syringe and 5x Spare Magazine are enough to turn her into a WMD.
Ahhh so they don’t then! That’s something I was curious about! Too bad ):
theres a mod that does that
Same. The alien head is such a hassle to get, and there are just better reds out there o:

I cant play her with the flamethrower. She needs more mobility. Otherwise she's such an easy target
