Not ingame atm but as the title says does swapping kits interrupt channeled skills? If it doesn’t this combo could work really well.

Using KR, starting in toolkit:

Magnet-Prybar-While channeling prybar swap bomb kit-Concussion bomb-Glueshot-Static shot.

I know we can channel Magnet and swap kit, but I also know we can’t start “casting” Prybar, and then swap (that will interrupt the skill use) I’m actually not quite sure here the line goes in this area, but that praticualar comob I atleast know you can’t do (Been trying to do it myself hehe)

It doesn’t

if you change kits in the middle of using a skill it will NOT be interrupted, but if you use another skill then it will be interrupted

Guess the KR bomb proc interrupts prybar then. Too bad.

Just tested and it does not rupt, maybe you have auto attack on bomb #1 and that’s why

Some skills are meant to be interrupted by other skills.

For example: Cast gear shield and switch, and it cannot be interrupted if you use another skill (it’s simply queued next). However, cast Poison Dart or Fumigate and it’s interruptable with a new skill.

Usually it’s intended this way for some reason or another.

For the toast!

There’s some variation in what works here I believe, although I haven’t really tested it thoroughly.

With elixir gun, you can swap back during fumigate and it won’t cancel it. You can swap during the leap of acid bomb too (used to do this to get weapon stat bonuses before it was enabled on kits). Pretty sure flamethrower can be swapped out during flame jet without interrupting it as well.

I don’t think this will really allow you to create new combo possibilities. It may make the timing of some combos easier, but I don’t think it enabled combos that are otherwise impossible.

One small practical use is that you can swap back to your shield and benefit from the increased defence from it while said ability is still being channeled.
