This unit can carry a push with ease but has extremely low HP, and when they die from burning, they explode, adding to the damage.
Playstyle advice:
- This playstyle revolves around Liquid FireLiquid FireThrows a firebomb at the target area, dealing 100% Base + 266 Blunt Damage on impact. Burns enemies hit for 350 fire damage per second for 3 seconds.
Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers., a ranged grenade that deals low initial damage but leaves targets burning. Your goal is to position yourself well (high ground, flanks, etc.) to throw your grenades at range effectively.

Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers. can one-shot fragile units like Zykalian Militia, T3 archers, and Rattan Marksmen, regardless of how many there are.
- Stronger units like Falconetti Gunners, Shenji Grenadiers, Flamers, or T4 archers won’t be one-shot. You’ll need to adapt based on the number of targets: if you throw two bombs into 8 Shenjis, you might kill them, but more than that will spread the damage too much.
- Despite Blunt DMG giving more kill potential on lower units, Agility is still the best stat for this build. Blunt penetration helps increase your killing power against tougher units; Agility enhances your ability to follow up ally CC with auto attacks and Scatter Shots, which are essential for bursting enemies.
- Use Scatter ShotScatter ShotLoad scattershot to fire 12 pieces of shrapnel. Each piece deals 12% base + 224 Piercing Damage and inflicts Knockback. to stagger enemies and headshot them easily. The damage combo remains good value even without Reload, and you can poke horses too.
HP/Agi/Str on the bomb build:
- HP gives a bit more room for risky moves, such as deeper dive-ins, or running near a blob to try and throw Liquid FireLiquid FireThrows a firebomb at the target area, dealing 100% Base + 266 Blunt Damage on impact. Burns enemies hit for 350 fire damage per second for 3 seconds.
Effects on Enemies:
Panics enemy soldiers. into Zykalians.
- It also makes it less likely you get randomly one-shot by cav/Stalwarts/etc., lets you jump off a wall without dying, and means enemy DB/CD can’t kill you in one combo anymore.
- Agi/Str making any difference is kinda copium for 95% of cases: we are in a meta with nearly 0 dm and no or near 0 skirmish. As Musket, if you can hit a hero (meaning you are in the main push for some reason) you are doing something wrong anyway: you should be flanking or on high ground if possible, to apply pressure on the enemy exo/range and buy space for your team. (And even in a dreamworld where you do a lot of dm and reach 200-300k damage here, it will make 0 difference in game, and that’s not your job.)
- The Blunt pen won’t let you kill anything you wouldn’t already kill: you either throw the bomb at range (where you are already near the pen cap), or you spread the damage enough that it hits minimal damage (where more pen doesn’t change anything).
- If you throw into exo, you will either hit a low enough unit count that you can kill, or spread the damage too much, and pen won’t change anything again.
- Especially in this season with double bomb, your main job is Liquid FireLiquid FireThrows a firebomb at the target area, dealing 100% Base + 266 Blunt Damage on impact. Burns enemies hit for 350 fire damage per second for 3 seconds.

Purpose: The Reload build is commonly used in Deathmatch and tournament formats like 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5, though it can also be fun in siege battles.

Playstyle advice:
- The standard hero-killing combo: start by throwing your bomb, then position yourself behind the enemy.
- Aim from above their head and slowly move down until the aim assist shows the red circle for a headshot.
- After hitting the headshot with your auto-attack (AA), move your aim to the center of the body and follow up with a Scatter ShotScatter ShotLoad scattershot to fire 12 pieces of shrapnel. Each piece deals 12% base + 224 Piercing Damage and inflicts Knockback.. Aiming the Scatter ShotScatter ShotLoad scattershot to fire 12 pieces of shrapnel. Each piece deals 12% base + 224 Piercing Damage and inflicts Knockback. at the head can result in a miss due to its spread, so it’s safer to target the body.
- After this, reload and finish with another AA.
- This build provides an extended combo chain, giving you enough damage output to secure kills efficiently.
Insane Combo: This advanced combo involves timing an auto-attack (AA) right after using the bomb’s crowd control (CC). When you CC with your bomb ultimate, the target will naturally get up after a short delay. However, if they are staggered by any AA, they will get up instantly. The trick is to land an AA during the small frame before they get up, allowing you to hit them quickly without giving them time to recover. This timing is crucial to maximize your damage output while keeping your target locked in the combo.
Blue Tier-lockSafe ranged carry vs low-HP flammable units.
Purpose: This build leverages the fact that during blue tier lock, all units are flammable, all units have a low HP pool, and range is spammed heavily.
Playstyle advice: Heroes are very low impact, so Musket having insane impact on units while being safe as a range + medium is what makes it so good.
