Weapon and Skill Details
Pistol/Shield is what I use only because I prefer to use shield incase I need to reflect or block. No condition damage is given so pistol is almost useless except for the ok dmg from #2 and the blind on #3. Use rifle if you want to do more damage.
Always keep Bomb kit and Elixir gun in utility slots, they are the meat of this build. The third utility can be switched out depending on your current situation between toolkit, rocket boots,elixir r,elixir s.

Trait Details
Traits are pure defensive except for the larger bomb radius, the key is to keep yourself alive while healing nearby allies.

V. Basic Gameplay
This build is not tough to play by engi standards, just try to stay near allies to give aoe heals. If people are low use F1 and blast finish for a small heal and regen. Try to keep an eye on condition stacks and get rid of them with elixir gun. If you have a downed teammate use smoke bomb and blast with shield/big ol bomb/ supply crate/elixir gun #4 and pick them back up. You should have enough regen on yourself to keep yourself up during the revive.
Elixir Gun note: #4 can be flight cancelled. Hit 4 then immediately switch weapons and you will cancel the fly back animation and stop where you are.
