Scoundrel Scrapper Basics Guide

Scrapper

Holding no punches, the Scrapper Scoundrel never backs down from a fight – so long as said fight is on their terms. Able to hide from the fray, the Scrapper can sucker punch and bludgeon their adversary, ducking back out before things get too hairy and biding their time until the moment is right to scrap once more.

Scrapper for New Players

  • Scrapper is punching range, which means you must be very close to your enemy to attack, but you have a jump ability and roll to help you close the gap between you and your enemy
  • This style is very mobile and you can easily run and jump around while fighting without any issues!
  • Most abilities can simply be used, you only need to learn to activate a few of them
  • Scrapper is pretty easy to learn the basics of compared to other disciplines.

How to play a Scrapper Scoundrel

You can start playing Scrapper at level 1. To start playing Scrapper, you will need to first create a Scoundrel character, which can be played by Troopers, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers or Imperial Agents.

Once you are ingame, press K on your keyboard to open the Combat Style tab, and choose Scrapper from the three options. This choice is not permanent, you will be able to switch between all three options by finding a rest location like a cantina.

Below Level 80

Below Level 80

If you are below level 80, there are no true guides available to tell you what specific abilities you should be using, because the ideal rotation would change every level.

Instead, you can use this guide to figure out which of your abilities are attacks, which are defensive, and which are just useful.

Level 80

5 Ability Basic Rotation

Not quite ready to learn all your abilities yet? Use this quick 5-ability rotation for the Scrapper until you’re ready to read and learn from a true level 80 guide.

  • Back Blast helps you weaken your enemy and does a lot of damage. You can only use it from behind the enemy or when it’s sparkling. Use it whenever it’s available.
  • Blood Boiler is powerful but does no damage unless it’s ignited by bleeds – wait to use it immediately after Back Blast to make sure it ignites.
  • Bludgeon is your third most useful ability. Using Bludgeon makes your Sucker Punch become clickable.
  • Sucker Punch can only be used when you have activated it by using your other abilities – it’s your filler ability and should be used often.
  • Crippling Shot costs no energy! If you run out of abilities, use your basic Flurry of Bolts.

More than 3 Enemies

  • Bushwhack makes a sharp circle of damage around you – but can only be clicked when you have built up an Upper Hand by using your other abilities like Bludgeon first.
  • Lacerating Blast deals damage to every enemy in front of you.

Extra Tips

  • Start in Stealth to do extra damage with Back Blast.
  • Jump into the fight with Trick Move (level 68 choice on your tree) for an extra Sucker Punch.
  • Feeling spicy? Use your Pugnacity as often as possible to do extra damage.
  • Feeling EXTRA spicy? Try rotating in Vital Shot instead of Flurry of Bolts if you run out of abilities to use in longer fights.
  • Your Cool Head ability gives you energy back if you run out.
  • Tranquilizer is a special ability sometimes known as a CC, a Crowd Control, a sleep or a sap. It can only be used while you are stealthed and out of combat, and it is used to put enemies to sleep. Sleeping enemies allows your group to sneak past them, or sometimes just keeps them out of the fight as long as no one attacks them. While you can’t put bosses to sleep, if you are playing Flashpoints, stealthers are often expected to go into stealth and put smaller enemies in-between bosses to sleep.
Level 80

Before you start…

If you have 3,000 Tech Fragments, go and buy the Acid Lash tactical item.

 

With the tactical item, you no longer need to use Blood Boiler immediately after Back Blast, as Sucker Punch will extend your bleed time from Back Blast.

  • Recuperate - Regeneration - Regain health out of battle.Level 1

Tree Choices

As you level up, you will be able to make choices about how you play your Scrapper Scoundrel with the Ability Tree, which can be opened with the K key on your keyboard. If you do not choose one, a default option will be chosen for you.

You will have eight choices to make as you level up, at levels 23, 27, 39, 43, 51, 64, 68 and 73. All of these Ability Tree choices are not permanent choices and can be changed later. If you are following a Level 80 guide on how to play your Scrapper Scoundrel, you will need to make sure to choose the same options as they have. You may not have the same choices chosen as a friend who is also playing a Scrapper Scoundrel.

Level 23 Choice: Sucker Punch Change

Choose from one of three ways that you want Sucker Punch to change at level 23. Your options are Relentless Fists, Rolling Fists, and Defensive Stance.

Sucker Punch

Exploits Upper Hand to sucker punch the target for kinetic damage. Requires and consumes Upper Hand.

Relentless Fists

Sucker Punch no longer costs energy, deals 10% more damage and slows the target by 50% for 6 seconds.

Sucker Punch no longer costs energy, deals 10% more damage and slows the target by 50% for 6 seconds.

Rolling Fists

Sucker Punch's critical hit chance is increased by 10%. Activating Sucker Punch reduces Pugnacity's cooldown by 10 seconds.

Sucker Punch's critical hit chance is increased by 10%. Activating Sucker Punch reduces Pugnacity's cooldown by 10 seconds.

Defensive Stance

Dealing damage with Sucker Punch applies a Defensive Stance to you, increasing your damage reduction by 5% per stack. Lasts for 10 seconds and stacks up to 3 times.

Dealing damage with Sucker Punch applies a Defensive Stance to you, increasing your damage reduction by 5% per stack. Lasts for 10 seconds and stacks up to 3 times.

General Suggestion: Rolling Fists - Being the only choice in this tier to upgrade your damage, this choice should be default in all scenarios. The cooldown reduction to your biggest buff is huge.

Level 27 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 27, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 27 choice are Curbing Strategies, Strategic Surrender, and Dirty Kick.

Curbing Strategies

Quick Shot and Lacerating Blast reduce the movement speed of targets they damage by 40% for 6 seconds. In addition, Lacerating Blast deals 25% more damage.

Quick Shot and Lacerating Blast reduce the movement speed of targets they damage by 40% for 6 seconds. In addition, Lacerating Blast deals 25% more damage.

Strategic Surrender

Reduces the cooldown of Dodge by 15 seconds. While Dodge is active, your movement speed is increased by 100% and the damage you take from area effects is reduced by 60%.

Reduces the cooldown of Dodge by 15 seconds. While Dodge is active, your movement speed is increased by 100% and the damage you take from area effects is reduced by 60%.

Dirty Kick

Stuns the target for 4 seconds and deals kinetic damage.

You can use your short stun on weaker enemies to stop them from running around, from casting abilities, to stop them from damaging you, or just to keep them out of the fight in general.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Curbing Strategies - A boost to lacerating blast's damage may be good for leveling or solo content where you can't rely on a better AoE teammate to do it for you, but if the extra AoE isn't needed you could also choose the passive buff to Dodge for a better defensive or Dirty Kick for a useful 4 second stun.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Curbing Strategies - A boost to lacerating blast's damage may be good for leveling or solo content where you can't rely on a better AoE teammate to do it for you, but if the extra AoE isn't needed you could also choose the passive buff to Dodge for a better defensive or Dirty Kick for a useful 4 second stun.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Strategic Surrender - Adding a DR effect to your Scrapper in group content is by far the best choice here. This upgrade to dodge makes you much easier to heal in group content!

Operation Suggestion: Strategic Surrender - Adding a DR effect to your Scrapper in group content is by far the best choice here. This upgrade to dodge makes you much easier to heal in group content!

Level 39 Choice: Shank Shot Change

Choose from one of three ways that you want Shank Shot to change at level 39. Your options are Crippling Shot, The Best Defense, and Setup Shot.

Shank Shot

Fires a close-up scattergun shot at the target's shank, dealing kinetic damage, and immobilizing the target, preventing it from moving or turning for 4 seconds.

Crippling Shot

Blasts the target, dealing kinetic damage and immobilizing it, preventing it from moving or turning for 4 seconds. Grants Upper Hand.

Slows slow the enemy down, making it hard for them to run away.

The Best Defense

Shank Shot now steals life from the target, healing you for 100% of the damage it deals and causing the target to deal 20% less damage to you for 6 seconds.

Shank Shot now steals life from the target, healing you for 100% of the damage it deals and causing the target to deal 20% less damage to you for 6 seconds.

Setup Shot

Shank Shot causes the next direct damage attack against the target to critically hit. This effect lasts 10 seconds.

Shank Shot causes the next direct damage attack against the target to critically hit. This effect lasts 10 seconds.

General Suggestion: Setup Shot - This choice provides a huge boost to your burst damage on a burst damage combat style and can't be missed. Always follow up shank shot with back blast with this choice! The cooldowns will not always line up so some shots will need a sucker punch, but back blast will do the most damage with the buff.

Level 43 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 43, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 43 choice are Upper Critical, Advanced Stealth, and Hot Streak.

Upper Critical

Critically hitting with a direct damage attack applies Upper Critical to you, which increases your critical hit chance by 2% per stack. Stacks up to 5 times and lasts 8 seconds. Activating Pugnacity purges movement based effects and grants 5 stacks of Upper Critical.

Advanced Stealth

Gaining an Upper Hand with an attack that breaks stealth applies Active Stealth for 6 seconds. While you are in Active Stealth your chance to dodge melee and ranged attacks is increased by 200% and your next direct damage attack critically hits. Dealing or taking damage breaks Active Stealth.

Hot Streak

Resets the cooldown of Pugnacity, Blood Boiler, Back Blast, and Defense Screen and increases your Mastery by 20% for 15 seconds.

Resets the cooldown of Pugnacity, Blood Boiler, Back Blast, and Defense Screen and increases your Mastery by 20% for 15 seconds.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Upper Critical - The flat increase to criticals that this gives is great for longer fights. If your team is going through the flashpoint extremely quickly, you may see better results with Hot Streak instead.

Operation Suggestion: Upper Critical - The flat increase to criticals that this gives is great for longer fights.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Hot Streak - For very short fights in solo content, you can get more damage out faster with this extra buff reseting your cooldown on every major attack. The longer the fight drags on, the better Upper Critical becomes as a choice, however.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Hot Streak - For very short fights in solo content, you can get more damage out faster with this extra buff reseting your cooldown on every major attack. The longer the fight drags on, the better Upper Critical becomes as a choice, however.

Level 51 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 51, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 51 choice are Flee the Scene, Sneaky, and Scar Tissue.

Reduces the cooldown of Disappearing Act by 30 seconds and activating Disappearing Act increases movement speed by 50% for 6 seconds.

Sneaky

Increases movement speed by 15% and effective stealth level by 3.

Increases movement speed by 15% and effective stealth level by 3.

Scar Tissue

Increases damage reduction by 5%.

Increases damage reduction by 5%.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Sneaky - As a stealth combat style, this may speed up your grindable solo content farms a little bit. For real tangible benefit in combat, take Scar Tissue.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: Sneaky - As a stealth combat style, this may speed up your grindable solo content farms a little bit. For real tangible benefit in combat, take Scar Tissue.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Scar Tissue - It will make your healers very happy to see a less squishy Scoundrel. Take this by default.

Operation Suggestion: Scar Tissue - It will make your healers very happy to see a less squishy Scoundrel. Take this by default.

Level 64 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 64, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 64 choice are Med Screen, Keep Cool, and Skedaddle.

Your Defense Screen heals you for 5% of your maximum health when it collapses.

Keep Cool

Cool Head now immediately restores 15 additional energy.

Cool Head now immediately restores 15 additional energy.

Skedaddle

When activated, Disappearing Act grants 2 seconds of Dodge.

When activated, Disappearing Act grants 2 seconds of Dodge.

General Suggestion: Med Screen - This is definitely the best defensive bonus on this tier. You shouldn't have energy problems so bad as to need Keep Cool, but it is there if you are having troubles.

Level 68 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 68, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 68 choice are Smuggle, Flash Grenade , and Trick Move.

Cloaks all group members within 10 meters of you in a temporary stealth field that lasts 15 seconds. Cannot be used in combat. Only usable while in stealth mode.

Flash Grenade

Lobs a flash grenade that blinds the target and up to 7 nearby enemies for 8 seconds. Damage causes this effect to end prematurely. When Flash Grenade ends it leaves behind Flash Powder that reduces the target's accuracy by 20% for 8 seconds.

Stuns allow you to knock enemies out of the fight temporarily. Some stuns break on damage - so if you attack the enemy while they are stunned with any type of attack, they will no longer be stunned.

Trick Move

Override your stealth generator, generating an Upper Hand and quickly moving you to a friendly or enemy target and increasing your movement speed by 75% for 3 seconds. Can be used while immobilized and purges any movement impairing effects. Does not break stealth. Cannot be used against enemy targets in cover.

Can be used while immobilized and purges any movement impairing effects. Does not break stealth. Cannot be used against enemy targets in cover.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: Trick Move - Trick move generating an Upper Hand makes it rotationally important right off the bat. The mobility component is a cool bonus too! Definitely take this by default unless you really need an AoE stun for something.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Trick Move - Trick move generating an Upper Hand makes it rotationally important right off the bat. The mobility component is a cool bonus too! Definitely take this by default unless you really need an AoE stun for something or are helping your less sneaky group members get around enemies.

Definitely take this by default unless you really need an AoE stun for something or are helping your less sneaky group members get around enemies.

Level 73 Choice

Choose from one of three Scoundrel abilities at Level 73, you can only have one of these options at any given time. Your options as a Scrapper Scoundrel for the Level 73 choice are Scramble, Back at Ya, and K.O..

Scramble

Every time you get attacked, the active cooldown of your Dodge is reduced by 3 seconds. This effect cannot occur more than once every 1.5 seconds.

Every time you get attacked, the active cooldown of your Dodge is reduced by 3 seconds. This effect cannot occur more than once every 1.5 seconds.

Back at Ya

Activating Dodge grants Back At Ya, returning 150% of direct single target tech and Force damage taken back to the attacker while Dodge is active.

Activating Dodge grants Back At Ya, returning 150% of direct single target tech and Force damage taken back to the attacker while Dodge is active.

K.O.

When used from stealth, Back Blast and Point Blank Shot interrupt and knock down the target for 3 seconds. Player targets are immobilized for 3 seconds, rather than being knocked down.

When used from stealth, Back Blast and Point Blank Shot interrupt and knock down the target for 3 seconds. Player targets are immobilized for 3 seconds, rather than being knocked down.

Flashpoint Suggestion: Scramble - Scramble provides the best benefit over the duration of a fight for your survivability. Back at Ya may be helpful for some extra damage but trying to reflect damage can be risky on a scoundrel in group content.

Operation Suggestion: Scramble - Scramble provides the best benefit over the duration of a fight for your survivability. Back at Ya may be helpful for some extra damage but trying to reflect damage can be risky on a scoundrel in group content.

Solo Single-Strong-Enemy Suggestion: K.O. - So long as your enemy isn't immune to the effects, the stuns resulting from this choice may help some tough solo fights to be easier at the start. If they're immune anyway, go ahead and take Scramble as it will provide the most defense over time.

Multi-Enemy Solo Suggestion: K.O. - So long as your enemy isn't immune to the effects, the stuns resulting from this choice may help some tough solo fights to be easier at the start. If they're immune anyway, go ahead and take Scramble as it will provide the most defense over time.

Interrupts the target's current action and prevents that ability from being used for 4 seconds.

Every class has an interrupt ability that allows them to interrupt an enemy while they are casting. Enemy castbars that fill up from left to right are called casts and can be interrupted and the ability will be stopped, but castbars that go from right to left deal damage the entire time they are channeling. Using your interrupt in combat is very useful as it can prevent the enemy from damaging you, or sometimes even prevent them from stunning you or knocking you back!

Quick Shot and Lacerating Blast reduce the movement speed of targets they damage by 40% for 6 seconds. In addition, Lacerating Blast deals 25% more damage.

Solo Single-Enemy Suggestion: A boost to lacerating blast's damage may be good for leveling or solo content where you can't rely on a better AoE teammate to do it for you, but if the extra AoE isn't needed you could also choose the passive buff to Dodge for a better defensive or Dirty Kick for a useful 4 second stun.

General Suggestion: This choice provides a huge boost to your burst damage on a burst damage combat style and can't be missed. Always follow up shank shot with back blast with this choice! The cooldowns will not always line up so some shots will need a sucker punch, but back blast will do the most damage with the buff.
