Shock Training Scrapper Build Guide
Last Updated:July 22, 2024|Change Log
Welcome to the Shock Training Scrapper Build Guide! This build revolves around constantly throwing out burst skills and occasionally getting an enhanced burst window from Tenacity Release (Z). Utilizing Shock Training she can have some amazing burst windows that don't even feel slow unlike some other classes.
Outside of that, this build provides great Stagger and Destruction to the party. The main things to watch out for are her situation skill usage and back-attacking playstyle. Outside of Tenacity Release (Z), you may be a bit slow but once you are in it you become an unstoppable monster, with some good positioning this class becomes an amazing damage dealer that provides some great utility to the team.
- Good defence
- Easy to learn
- Flexible in parties
- Positional gameplay
- Melee

Recommended Engraving Setup
While you can freely experiment with any engravings you want for this content, here's a recommended setup, based on the Engraving Support system:
- Preemptive Strike causes your attacks to deal immense amounts of damage to monsters that you haven't attacked yet, making it ideal for Chaos Dungeons.
- Contender is a stacking Attack Power effect that increases in strength once you kill a monster, making it ideal for Chaos Dungeons.
- Raid Captain provides damage based on your Bonus Movement Speed, synergizing well with the Buff Nodes scattered throughout Chaos Dungeons.
- Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu will make your Shock skills weaker, but will give you the necessary energy to spam skills in Chaos Dungeons while also increasing the damage of Stamina skills.
- Shock Training offsets most of the damage loss of Ultimate Skill: Taijutsu and also gives you significant energy refund to allow more spamming within Chaos Dungeons.
Gameplay & Skill Rotation
Shock Scrapper receives 5/10/20% of Shock Energy back whenever it is consumed, but the duration of Tenacity Release (Z) is reduced by 5 seconds. Creating a playstyle that revolves around consistently hitting the boss for big hits while gaining occasional burst windows to do bonus damage.
Activating her identity grants you the following effects for its entire duration:
- Unlimited Shock & Stamina resource
- +20% Attack Speed
- -50% spacebar cooldown
- +20% Outgoing Stagger Damage
- Reset spacebar cooldown on activation
- Apply Amplified Damage for 10 seconds to nearby enemies on activation
Scrapper Identity
All attacks with a Back Attack affix receive +10% Crit Rate and +5% Damage when they land on the target's back-side indicator. It is important to position yourself accordingly as much as possible in order to take advantage of this.
This build focuses on dealing massive amounts of burst damage within the Tenacity Release (Z) window. Skills like Fist of the Wind God and Shredding Strike benefit from the Enhanced Tenacity Release tripod which enhances their damage even further when cast during Tenacity Release (Z).
Outside of that, you're trying to rebuild Tenacity Release (Z) as quickly as possible to then repeat the burst process. Make sure to time your regular skills right before exiting Tenacity Release (Z) so that they can provide Tenacious Power while not consuming Shock at the same time. Supernova, Death Rattle or Potent Rising Fist can be easily used in this manner.
Avoid using Death Rattle with less than 76% Shock Meter available, as it loses too much effective damage if you do so. Similarly, try not to use Fist of the Wind God and Shredding Strike outside of Tenacity Release (Z) if possible.
Basic Rotations
Meter Generation Rotation (Tenacious Power build-up)
- This build DOES NOT have a true rotation, instead you are aiming to try to deal as much damage as possible while generating Tenacity Release (Z) meter to do a burst window.
- Roundup Sweep can be reset, you can weave it in-between many of your skills to generate Shock meter.
- Death Rattle gains more damage the more Shock meter it has, it will highlight at maximum damage, you should generally try to use it once you have enough Shock meter.
- Fist of the Wind God and Shredding Strike are held to be exclusively used in the identity.
- Try your best to maintain your Synergy using Judgment, even if you aren't planning to attack immediately after. Your Synergy is applied on Tenacity Release (Z) use, you can save the usage of your Judgment to fit in more damage skills.
Burst Rotation (Tenacious Power)
- Fist of the Wind God and Shredding Strike are finally unleashed as the opener, then this gives you a bit of time to unload some extra skills for more damage.
- Death Rattle or Supernova can be used at the very end of Tenacity Release (Z) causing them to use no Shock meter but the final hit being after Tenacity Release (Z) ends granting some extra Tenacity Release (Z) meter regeneration.
- Charging Blow, Roundup Sweep, Judgment, and Potent Rising Fist are used to generate Tenacity Release (Z) identity and are generally not used in the Tenacity Release (Z) window due to tight timing.
Stagger Check Rotation
- Follow this rotation to do some amazing Stagger. Remember you can also use a Whirlwind Grenade if you have one equipped!
- Roundup Sweep can be reset, you can spam it as much as possible.
Tripods and Gems
Tripod Levelling
Increasing the level of Tripods greatly enhances their effectiveness. You may only increase the level of 18 tripods at a time. Some of them cannot be leveled at all, or are left at level 1 - these tripods are omitted from the table, even if they are used. Here are the main tripods you should look out for in order to maximize this build's potential.
Skill | 1st Tripod | 2nd Tripod | 3rd Tripod |
Death Rattle | Quick Prep | Weak Point Detection | Shock Explosion |

Potent Rising Fist | Focused Fighting Spirit | Dragon King Bombardment | Dragon's Fury |

Stat Priority
This build utilizes Crit and Specialization.
- Specialization is the primary stat. It scales up both your Shock damage and Tenacious Power meter generation perfectly synergizing with the build.
- Crit is a secondary stat. It ramps up your Crit Rate helping to scale up your damage beside Specialization.
Standard Setup
- Crit + Specialization
- Specialization
- Specialization
- Specialization
- Specialization
- Crit + Specialization
Gear Set
Entropy Set
This set is optimal thanks to the large amounts of Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and positional damage it provides.
The name of your set will change every time you acquire a higher tier of gear, but the set effect will remain the same. Look for your set's keyword when recrafting it to find it more easily (e.g Entropy, Hallucination etc).

Engravings
Engravings are a core part of your build. Typically, most engravings will be used at level 3, but some can be used at level 1 or 2 in addition to the others, after reaching item level 1540 and unlocking Ancient Accessories.
Relic Gearing Build (5x3)
- Shock Training
- Grudge
- Master of Ambush
- Adrenaline
- Keen Blunt Weapon
Ancient Gearing Build (5x3+1)
- Shock Training
- Grudge
- Master of Ambush
- Adrenaline
- Keen Blunt Weapon
- Ether Predator Lv. 1
Engraving Explanations
Core Engravings
- Shock Training grants Shock skill damage as well as regenerates a percentage of maximum Shock Meter per second.
- Grudge increases damage done while also increasing damage received. The engraving is a highly effective damage increase without needing specific positioning, making it worthwhile even with the penalty.
- Master of Ambush because all of your damage skills have a Back Attack property, this becomes a good choice, but forces you to play around it to take full advantage of it.
- Adrenaline provides an additional source of Crit Rate and Attack Power. It is fairly easy to upkeep.
Add-on Engravings (Pick 1)
- Keen Blunt Weapon is a decent option since we have relatively high Crit Rate but with Entropy Set it loses some efficiency.
- Cursed Doll is a significant Attack Power increase at the cost of 25% healing. The healing penalty can be punishing for inexperienced players who are not familiar with boss mechanics, but it becomes easy to overcome with time.
Level 1 and 2 Engravings
- Ether Predator becomes our best damage engraving at level one however it takes a while to ramp up.
Check out the Engraving Guide for more details.

Card Sets
Cards are an endgame system that helps maximize your character's damage. Here are the recommended card sets for this build.
- Deep Dive is used early on as it is fairly easy to obtain.
- Light of Salvation is the standard endgame option, but it can take a long time to acquire 30-piece Awakening.
