Hey dear Engineers,

since I am relatively new to this class, I want to ask the more experienced players here about a few things:
First off, which condition-removal-options do exist? I know a few obvious ones like overcharge on healing turret or the Alchemy-Trait which provides a removal for every consumed elixir, there is furthermore a minor trait with 8% chance to convert incomming condis to boons and last but not least there is the antidote.
But from my experience – other classes have more sophisticated ways to clean from conditions.
Would you explain your methods to me please?

Secondly, I know there are some really fancy combos like smoke bomb and rocket boots and a few more.
Could you be so kind to list some of the combos you use – maybe with little bulletpoints or numbers so that we can collect them and new players may be helped with it too?
With kind regards
A.

The best Engy condition remover is our Elixir C ability which turns all conditions to boons every 45 seconds, and 1 Condition to a Boon from Throw Elixir C as an AOE. Also our Elixir Gun has a Light Field that heals and removes conditions.

I thought, that the Light Field only heals? If you mean it combiend with EG #1 than it is only a 20% chance and that rather sux ^^

Personally, I use Medkit #4 and (more often) Elixir Gun #5 field and shoot through it. With the reduced CD on FT & EG skills trait, it’s on a pretty quick CD for group condition removal.

Healing Turret emits a very brief water field when it’s placed so you can combo off that too.

Elixir C is the most obvious. It has the added benefit of its toolbelt skill also removing a condition.

No, I mean Super Elixir Removes conditions WITHOUT having to shoot through it.

And Seras, the trait that reduces the cooldowns on the FG and EG doesn’t affect Super Elixir. It’s 20 second CD remains the same.
