Related traits

Explosives

• Short Fuse — Gain fury when you hit a foe with an Explosion.
• Steel-Packed Powder — Explosions cause vulnerability.
• Explosive Temper — Explosions grant stacking ferocity when they hit.
• Big Boomer — Deal increased strike damage to foes with a lower health percentage than you. Hitting with an Explosion heals you over a few seconds.

Inventions

• Bunker Down — Create a proximity mine at your target's location and a med kit at your location when you disable an enemy.

Alchemy

• Equal and Opposite Reaction — Gain quickness and stability when you disable an enemy.
• Chain Reactivity — Gain barrier when you successfully finish a combo field with a leap or a blast. Every third successful finish grants you might and a larger barrier that is shared with allies.

Tools

• Lock On — Striking a stealthed foe triggers Invisible Analysis. Disabling a foe triggers Controlled Analysis. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.

Scrapper

• System Shocker — Disabling a foe grants barrier to nearby allies. Your function gyro dazes foes when cast. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, launch, taunt, and fear.
• Kinetic Accelerators — Grant boons to nearby allies when you successfully combo a field with a blast, leap, or whirl finisher. Your function gyro is now a blast finisher. Whirl finishers can only trigger this trait once per interval.

Amalgam

• Mercurial Tendencies — Disabling an enemy reduces the cooldown of Evolve.

Notes

• There's an extremely low chance for the engineer to shout "Three, two, one!" when casting this skill. The booby trap will still detonate as normal, even before the engineer finishes saying this line.
