The first Scrap Savant emerged when a wounded Birbs recruit repelled a veteran's assault in Grave Gobbler by collapsing a stone monument onto their attacker. This act of desperate ingenuity evolved into a formalized combat discipline among Pool warriors. They now systematically study arena architecture to identify structural weaknesses and reusable debris.

Scrap Savants construct armor from interlocking stone fragments and bent arena metal. They possess uncanny debris recognition, instantly identifying usable materials amidst chaos. Their most valued trait is structural weakness detection, allowing them to trigger controlled collapses. All movements conserve energy for sudden explosive actions when opportunities arise.

Scrap Savants serve as battlefield equalizers, enabling fundamentally skilled warriors to defeat elite opponents through environmental manipulation. They maintain arena unpredictability by transforming static battlegrounds into evolving tactical landscapes where resourcefulness trumps raw power.
