Info
- Containment Wall is Qorvex’s ability 2.

Cast Changes
- Modifies Containment Wall with: Containment Wall Augment: Strip 50% of armor and shields from struck enemies.
- Rank up the augment to unlock the full effect values.
- Costs a mod slot (and capacity) — only equip it when the change matters for your loop.
Worth the Slot?
- Worth it when the augment’s change is central to how you play Qorvex.
- Skip it if the base Containment Wall already does what you need and you’d rather keep the slot for survivability or strength.
Tips & Tricks
- Read the battlefield first — cast Containment Wall when it actually solves the room, not on cooldown habit.
- Pair Containment Wall with movement and energy economy so you’re not stranded after a big spend.
- On Steel Path, confirm whether Containment Wall still carries without strip, Viral, or a squad buff.
- If you never press 2, it’s the first Helminth candidate on Qorvex.

Mod Scaling
Strength
- Strength matters if Containment Wall scales effect power; otherwise dump it for other stats.
Duration
- Duration is low priority on Containment Wall unless an augment or lingering effect needs it.
Range
- Range is usually dumpable on Containment Wall unless you feel the hitbox is too tight.
Efficiency
- Containment Wall 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
| Mission | How to Use It |
|---|---|
| Steel Path Survival / Defense / Disruption | Test whether Containment Wall still clears or enables clear when enemies are dense and overlevelled. |
| Mobile Defense / Excavation | Use Containment Wall to control or delete the swarm on the objective, then reposition. |
| Exterminate / Capture Speed Runs | Cast Containment Wall only when it saves time — skip it on empty tiles. |
| Spy / Rescue / Quiet Routes | If Containment Wall is loud or forces combat, save it for after the vault; if it’s stealth-friendly, use it to stay safe. |
Comparisons

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