Info

  • Coil Horizon is Gyre’s ability 2.
  • Throw forward a Gyratory Sphere that will implode after a few seconds or can be manually triggered.
  • Use it with the rest of the kit — especially Arcsphere, Cathode Grace — instead of casting it in isolation.
  • Ability Strength, Duration, Range, and Efficiency each matter differently; check Mod Scaling below before dumping all four.

Cast Changes

  1. Modifies Coil Horizon with: Coil Horizon Augment: Gyratory Sphere can be recalled.
  2. Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
  3. Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.

Worth the Slot?

  1. Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Gyre.
  2. Skip it if the base Coil Horizon already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.

Tips & Tricks

  • Read the battlefield first — cast Coil Horizon when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
  • Pair Coil Horizon with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
  • On Steel Path, confirm whether Coil Horizon still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
  • If you never press 2, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Gyre.

Mod Scaling

Strength

Strength matters if Coil Horizon scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.

Duration

Extends how long Coil Horizon’s effect lasts.

Range

Range is usually dumpable on Coil Horizon unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.

Efficiency

Coil Horizon costs energy each cast — Efficiency (or strong regen) keeps the loop comfortable on long missions.

Priority

Stack the stats that actually move this ability’s needle, then Efficiency for uptime.

Mission Use Cases

MissionHow to Use It
Steel Path Survival / Defense / DisruptionTest whether Coil Horizon still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled.
Mobile Defense / ExcavationUse Coil Horizon to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition.
Exterminate / Capture Speed RunsCast Coil Horizon only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles.
Spy / Rescue / Quiet RoutesIf Coil Horizon is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe.

Comparisons

  • VS

    Vs similar tools on other frames — Coil Horizon is tuned for Gyre’s loop — don’t judge it as a standalone subsume without the rest of the kit.
