Artillerist Guide

Complete Artillerist guide covering the Barrage and Firepower Enhancement (FPE) builds, including the Bombardier Tank and Jumper Piano setups.

Identity

Firepower & Barrage Meters

Artillerist fills a Firepower Meter (left bar) and a Barrage Meter (right bar) by hitting enemies with any skill. Firepower Meter grants 10% damage per level up to 30% at level 3, and the Firepower Enhancement engraving provides an additional 42% normal skill damage from meter level 1. At level 3 you can activate Kindle for 25% normal skill damage and 35% MP recovery for 8 seconds, after which the meter resets. When the Barrage Meter is full you can enter Barrage mode, transforming your skills into their Barrage-exclusive forms — this is replaced by Barrage Attack when running Firepower Enhancement.

Synergy

Defense Reduction

Variant Overview

Standing Striker

Barrage Enhancement
Standard Bombardier Tank build using the Standing Striker evolution node. Damage funnels into the turret's W skill, with Q resetting its cooldown. This is the recommended default ark passive tree.

Ark Grid Cores

Bombardier Tank
Safehouse
Vanquish

Core Priority

Cores are Bombardier Tank (Sun), Safehouse (Moon), and Vanquish (Star).
Damage is all into turret W, with Q providing a cooldown reset for W. Extended chair time, so make good use of the turret teleport to maintain W uptime if the boss repositions.
Chaos cores: Flashy Attack | Swift Attack (Sun), Smoldering Strike (Moon), Attack (Star).

Priorities

  • Use
    Barrage: Focus Fire
    always before
    Barrage: Howitzer
    .
  • Don't let
    Flamethrower
    and
    Gravity Explosion
    get canceled.
  • Build Barrage Meter with your normal skills, then dump it in Barrage mode.
  • Use Barrage: Location Transmission to reposition during
    Barrage Mode
    , such as entering support buffs.
  • Always try to pair
    Flamethrower
    +
    Gravity Explosion
    and
    Homing Barrage
    +
    Air Raid
    together.
  • Your rotation will de-sync no matter what — spam
    Forward Barrage
    during downtime.
