Completed a Gold solo with the new Human Artificer. Outlaws on Sandstorm with double devices.
Weapons: Valiant X and Equalizer Siphon X Boosters: Disruptor Ammo II, Sniper Rifle Amp II Equipment: Expert Package
While I have her at Rank XX, she was at Level 8 when I finished it.
Cryo Beam: 4B (Recharge) 5A (Brittle) 6B (Cryo Trap) Remnant VI: Rank II Invasion: Rank I Offensive Tech: Rank II Defense Drone: 4B (Drone Recharge) 5A (Defense Systems) 6A (Drone Support)
For the solo, having cryo trap helped me slow down enemies that would otherwise rush me. The Remnant VI died quite often, and I might continue to spec it for additional durability (or just leave it at one point in the future). Invasion might be good enough at Rank 3 or 4 (Outbreak). Will definitely go to Rank 6A Elemental Tech in Offensive Tech to get that extra 35% damage bonus when I have her at Level 20.
I think the Artificer works best in the team environment, as she doesn't have a way to detonate unless you go to Rank 6A in Remnant VI (which you might not even want with chilled armored enemies). I also found the shield heal to be slow (6+ seconds) and not strong enough. It's certainly no Shield Boost like with the Salarian Operator. While she looks like a female Juggernaut, she is not at all tanky like her male counterpart.

Got the Artificer up to Level 20 and have been re'speccing her for various gameplay styles.
Swapped Cryo Trap for Snap Freeze and have been enjoying wiping out spawns of enemies. Invasion's virulence seems to help increase the amount of explosions. So far, I've been able to get a four multi-kill snap freeze explosion and am looking forward finding a larger group of enemies to blow up.
Set Remnant VI to 1 point currently, but will experiment with the detonating missiles build. I still find the VI to die too often even at Rank 6, and I don't like micromanaging what enemies it should attack. If I bring this up to Rank 6 again, I may just go for the glass cannon build and have one point in Defensive Drone.
What are other people's builds and gameplay styles like with the Artificer?

I knew someone would pick up on this, as soon as I saw cryo beam and invasion. Unless it's already known before that players have been casting invasion on a teammate's frozen enemy, idk I don't play the MP often.
