Power Holosmith

Laser's Edge is the reason heat matters at all: while Photon Forge is active, your strike damage scales with the heat you are currently carrying. Enhanced Capacity Storage Unit raises that ceiling and periodically gives you might once you are above 100% heat, while Solar Focusing Lens pulls the other way — it burns and boosts your first few attacks after you enter *or* exit the Forge, and on an overheat too, so it pays you for cycling rather than camping. Crystal Configuration: Zephyr is your only real reposition: Holo Leap strips movement-impairing conditions, gives Superspeed instead of swiftness, and cripples what you land on. Heat Therapy heals you as heat drains away, but not while you are cooling down from an overheat — so a mistimed gauge costs you the damage and the sustain at once.

Berserker's and Dragon's under Scholar — power and ferocity across all six lines and not one point of defence, so the vitality on the Dragon's pieces is the whole buffer. Force is flat damage, Impact pays into stunned or knocked-down foes, which is what Thunderclap sets up, and Bloodlust banks power off kills. Thief stacks strike damage whenever you hit with a weapon skill that has a recharge — between hammer, the Forge bar and two kits, it stays refreshed.

Nothing you slot breaks a stun. Spectrum Shield is the Exceed skill that does that and grants Stability, and it is not in this build; A.E.D. is your only heal and it pays out on a delay, or on the hit that would have killed you. That is a build that dies to being focused, and an overheat in the wrong second makes it worse. If you want the same Explosives and Firearms core on a chassis that carries its own Superspeed and Stability, run the power build on the Scrapper hub.
