Rotation: (STAPLE ROTATION)
(1st Rotation)
Builder (x5) -> OfaK (x1) -> Builder (x1) -> Shootout (x1) -> OfaK (x1)

[NOTE: DABS @ 3rd Builder]

This rotation and build lines up with EF every single time if done correctly.
You're doing it wrong if it does not line up with EF.


No matter what you are hitting, the main thing is to keep count no matter what. Even if you swap targets to something else and consume with only 1 or 2 resources, as long as you keep count, that is what is most important!

================================================== ===================
================================================== ===================
================================================== ===================

During Initial Buff Phase
(1st Rotation)
Builder (x5) -> LSB -> OfaK (x1) -> Shotgun Wedding / Kneecapper -> Shootout -> OfaK (x1)
-- Stims & Kickbacks & Gadget @ 3rd Builder --

(2nd Rotation)
Builder (x3) -> OfaK -> Builder (x1) -> Shootout -> OfaK -> Builder
-- This 2nd rotation is to reset back to staple rotation of above --

NOTE: Use LSB off CD and match it with rotations accordingly. Other than that, Keep the staple rotation!

Tips to Improve DPS
1) If hitting multiple adds:
Example: MFB 2/6
- Always aim to crit shootout even if you do not have full resources.
- If you crit it every time on an add even if it’s ½ shootout duration, or a shootout that is using 1 resource, it is still worth it!

2) Always keep doing EF counters in your head each time you shoot
Example: Each time you are using a builder or consumer, always keep count.
- The goal of this is to always maximize consumers (no matter the resources) in the EF time window NO MATTER WHAT!!!
- Lag is going to mess you up sometimes, but that’s when you have to utilize your volume noises to keep count.

3) Utilize Volume in game to help keep count and accurate rotations during lag
Example: In NYR NM, there is skill lag. Sometimes there is also latency lag.
- Listen for the distinct specific sound Hair Trigger makes each time you use it.
- Also, watch the cast bar of each hair trigger
- Each time you see a cast bar of hair trigger on your screen, that is 1 count automatically.


4) When using Hair Trigger, During the cast bar of the CURRENT Hair Trigger, you should be spamming your next skill to be used in line (Have that auto que skill option enabled if you don’t already)
Example: I am using hair trigger 5 times, so I will see the cast bar 5 times
DURING the 5th cast bar, I will be spamming my next skill to que up, which would be OfaK.
That will ensure OfaK instead of another Hair Trigger by accident to mess up my counts

5) Practice doing this in the test chamber / dummies.
Example: Practice keeping count, getting used to hair trigger, how it works, what it sounds like,
queuing your next skill to make perfect rotations, and pretty soon it will become 2nd
nature to you.
6) Use [Advanced Kickback - Crit] & [Advanced Stimulant - Attack Rating] @ 3rd or 4th builders!

7) Also [AE Overcharger] if fighting AEGIS damage.
