Machinist is an epic crowd control hero. Compared with the other 11 epic crowd control heroes in the database, Machinist has modest base numbers for its class, so its value comes mostly from its skill rather than raw stats. Among top players, the most settled part of the build is trait (Accuracy, 50.7%) and the least settled is pet (Colorful Fireworks, only 4.7%), so the pet slot is where you have the most freedom to adapt.
The pick rate of the most popular option shows how much top players agree. Machinist's top talent, Revive, is picked 31.9% of the time, which is 7.4 points more settled than the typical hero (median 24.5%).
| Slot | Top pick | Runner-up | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Talent | Revive (31.9%) | Sacred Light (7.9%) | clear favourite |
| Insignia | Empower Insignia (26.0%) | Revitalize Insignia (11.8%) | contested |
| Square Insignia | Winged Rebirth Insignia (34.8%) | Fairy Circle Insignia (7.0%) | clear favourite |
| Equipment | Holy Conviction (13.4%) | Malaise (5.8%) | no consensus |
| Trait | Accuracy (50.7%) | HP (16.4%) | near-universal |
| Pet | Colorful Fireworks (4.7%) | Colorful Fireworks (M) (3.1%) | no consensus |
Near-universal is 50% or more, clear favourite 30–50%, contested 15–30%, no consensus under 15%. When a slot is contested, the runner-up is usually a reasonable substitute if you don't own the top pick.
| Stat | Machinist | Peer median | Rank vs peers | Rank overall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base ATK | 360 | 400 | 10 / 12 | 78 / 208 |
| Base HP | 12,500 | 13,500 | 10 / 12 | 50 / 208 |
| ATK growth per level | 17 | 20 | 11 / 12 | 86 / 208 |
| HP growth per level | 300 | 310 | 9 / 12 | 52 / 208 |
| Attack interval (lower is faster) | 1,400 ms | 1,400 | 5 / 12 | 117 / 208 |
| Move speed | 325 | 315 | 1 / 12 | 20 / 208 |
Across all 208 heroes of every rarity, base ATK ranks 78th of 208 and base HP ranks 50th of 208. Its skill has a 8s cooldown. It also has passive effects that work without using the skill, listed in the skill description above.
9 other heroes share Machinist's core pairing of Revive + Empower Insignia: Celestica, Ol' Smoky, Shysickle, Po, Bloodshed, Mystrix, Melody, Puppeteer, and 1 more. If you're rebuilding one of them, the same talent and insignia usually carry over.
Looking at every slot, not just talent and insignia, these heroes' builds overlap most with Machinist's:
Overlap score adds up the shared pick rate across all six slots. 0 means nothing in common, and 600 would mean identical builds.
