Introduction
As far as Martial Artists go, Scrapper is relatively slow but she makes up for it with the ability to punch way above her weight. She shares many similarities with her peers but also offers a lot of unique flavors, one of these flavors being her Heavy Gauntlets capable of inflicting heavy damage. She can be built, for Raiding, in two different ways, based on Her Class Engravings: Shock Training and Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu. We've based the following build on the former.
Shock Training Scrapper makes use of Her Shock Skills to deliver devastating amounts of damage in a very short time. Shock Training Engraving ensures that her Shock Meter regenerates faster and that her Shock Skills hit way harder. Thanks to the nature of her abilities, She excels at Countering and Staggering Her foes. As for the downsides, She lacks any form of damage mitigation/reduction abilities (but she's quite tanky for a Martial Artist) and most of her skills have a very limited range.

Stat Priority
Shock Training Scrapper benefits mostly from Specialization, but Crit Rate is also of use to her. As for Swiftness, it does not provide anywhere near enough benefits to warrant its use. Because of this, you should aim for ~60% Specialization/40% Crit Rate stat spread. To achieve it, use a Ring with Crit Rate, a Necklace with Crit Rate and Specialization, and have Specialization on all your remaining Accessories. A setup like this will ensure that your Shock Skills and your Awakening hit extremely hard. |
Skills
ROUNDUP SWEEP |
Scrapper throws a diagonal punch to inflict moderate amounts of Damage. This is a specialty skill that we choose to ensure that the build's Counter Attack potential and Stagger Damage are on a solid level.
|
Level 12
|
|
CHAIN DESTRUCTION FIST |
Scrapper smashes the ground to shake the earth. She attacks enemies up to 4 times for large amounts of damage. The Damage radius gradually increases from 3 meters to 5 meters with each hit. The last strike will launch enemies in the air. This powerful skill deals a lot of Damage and will serve you extremely well during Stagger Checks. It has a very long base Cooldown of 30 seconds, though.

Level 12
|
|
DEATH RATTLE |
Scrapper releases all condensed shock energy, dealing very high amounts of damage and knocking enemies back. Depending on the amount of shock energy stored, different Damage modifiers apply; +15% Damage if Shock Energy is between 0 and 25%, +30% Damage if Shock Energy is between 26% and 50%, +45% Damage if it's between 51% and 75%, and +60% if it's between 75% and 100%. This is a powerful spender skill that deals unbelievably high amounts of Damage if you use it while above 76% Shock Energy. Moreover, it deals very high Stagger and Weak Point Damage.

Level 12

|
TRUE RISING FIST |
Scrapper delivers a rising attack forward to inflict moderate amounts of damage twice. You can use the skill again while she's in the air to land at the target location with a smash, dealing high amounts of damage. Damage is increased by 50% against pushed enemies. This Skill hits very hard and deals a lot of Stagger Damage, which makes it an ideal choice for the build.
|
Level 12
|
|
SUPERNOVA |
Scrapper blows up the condensed shock energy to deal minor amounts of damage and pull enemies together, then land a finishing blow that deals very high amounts of damage. This is one of your main Nuke skills. It deals unbelievably high amounts of Damage and offers solid Stagger to boot. Unlike Death Rattle, your second hard-hitting skill, Supernova does not require you to build up your Identity Gauge to show its full potential.
|
Level 12
|
|
CHARGING BLOW |
Scrapper quickly charges to inflict 3 damaging hits, then, she lands a strike with her gauntlet, inflicting yet another damaging hit. This is a solid mobility skill with an extremely short Cooldown (5 seconds base). With Focus Engraving, you'll be able to regain quite a lot of Shock Meter with it while dashing around.
|
Level 10
|
|
FIERCE TIGER STRIKE |
Scrapper delivers 2 swift blows to deal moderate amounts of damage twice, then she knocks enemies down and inflicts another damaging hit on them. This skill serves two purposes in the build; It's one of your team synergy skills that apply the Damage Amplification debuff on your target and it also generates a solid amount of Identity Gauge thanks to the Focus Tripod.
|
Level 10
|
|
CRUSHING SMITE |
Scrapper launches up to 3 shockwaves forward, dealing moderate amounts of Damage. This skill serves the same purpose as Fierce Tiger Strike; It generates a lot of Identity Gauge thanks to the Focus Tripod and applies the Damage Amplification debuff on your target.
|
Level 7
|
|
AWAKENING | |
BLAST OF RUINATION |
Scrapper focuses her mind and reinforces her gauntlets to deliver a powerful strike. She gathers the energy in the air onto her gauntlets and thrusts forward. The thrust's power cracks the ground, dispersing an energy wave that reaches as far as 14 meters, knocking enemies back. The Damage of the wave differs depending on the distance it travels: The closer to the wave's starting point, the higher the Damage. This skill deals unbelievably high amounts of Damage when performed from up close (you have to be within 3 meters of your target to deal maximum Damage with it). Moreover, it deals A LOT of Stagger Damage and makes you immune to debuffs during its use.

Recommended Engravings
This is the core engraving of the build. It makes your Shock Skills much stronger and gives you a nice boost to the Shock Meter recovery rate. You should have it at Level 3 as fast as possible as the DPC bonus you get from it is unconditional and free of any drawbacks. |
Grudge is one of the most powerful offensive Engravings, but it comes with a severe drawback that may get you killed. If you can live with the downside, it will serve you as an unconditional damage increase. Shock Training Scrapper lacks in the defensive utility department, so pick it up if you feel like you can avoid most (or all) avoidable damage during boss encounters. Also, remember that it's only worth using at Level 3, so never use it at level 2 and especially 1 (unless you want to take 5% more damage for every 1% increase in your own DPS). |
This Engraving can boost your offensive power rather significantly, but the tradeoff is painful. Pick it up only if you know encounter mechanics very well, as its downside will hurt too much otherwise; In other words: if you lack encounter experience, skip it. Also, using this at Levels 1 and 2 is not worth the risks involved (so, use it at Level 3 or don't use it at all). |
Shock Training Scrapper is not the most mobile of Classes, so picking this Engraving is an excellent choice. With Spirit Absorption at Level 3, you'll move significantly quicker and your skill animations will become much faster. In other words, it will make your character much less annoying to play during dynamic encounters. |
Most of the attacks you will be using have the Back Attack modifier. Because of this, Ambush Master Engraving is an excellent choice. Also, it will encourage you to pay more attention to your positioning as missing Back Attacks while you have it active will make you lose even more potential DPS than otherwise. |
While definitely not optimal for a Shock Training Scrapper, Adrenaline is still a decent option. It will provide you with extra Crit Rate and Attack Power, both of which are extremely valuable to you. All you need at the start is Level 1 of this but you'll eventually want it at level 3. You can pick it instead of the Cursed Doll, the choice is up to you. |
The more Crit Rate you have, the more powerful this Engraving becomes. As a Shock Training Scrapper you want to stack some Crit Rate, so Keen Blunt Weapon is definitely a solid option. You can pick this one up instead of Spirit Absorption if you feel like you don't need extra mobility/dynamics. |
